Invaded 'K y,,,,,,.a f-'f I sf OCO - I it was fun, close-up Thirty-two students visited Washington, D.C. with the Close-up program which was designed to give them an inside view ol our country's government. They lelt Nov. 17 on United's flight 452 at 8:20 a.m. for Dulles Airport. Students were paired up with roommates trom other schools and most ol them roomed with girls from Arkansas and Tennessee. Although this did not always prove to be harmonious, it was an educational experience and included meeting the colorlul Vickie and dog from Tennessee. The itinerary for the week was rigid and although it lelt little time to sight-see, there was much to learn from many ot the speakers from countries such as Russia, Sweden and China. ll at times the meetings became boring, Nlr. Monaco, Notre Dame's moderator, was not there to observe the student's reactions. He was in sessions with the other moderators the entire week. A major part ot the experience was an activity in which each student was assigned a country to represent as an ambassador. At the conclusion of the activity which includ- ed much exchange of ideas and philosophies, most of the students expressed some disillusionment with the current U.S. foreign policy. Bev Passalacqua, the Russian ambassador to the Nliddle East, had a misunderstanding with the Russian party leader- ship represented by other students, and the second night into the activity, defected to lordan. That was the only country that agreed to take her. Even the U.S. had closed its doors to her. The only unscheduled day was Friday and even though it rained the students enjoyed shopping in Georgetown or wandering through the many museums. by Toniloassalacqua 10 TlYl?
