Students were giv- en a chance to voice opinions about rumors and secrets in a sur- vey conducted in Oc- tober. Fifty-nine stu- dents responded of the 105 polled. The most common definition given of a secret was Some- thing not to be repeat- ed by anyone. Something told and retold. It is usually an untruth, was one definition of a rumor. (Another was, It's something that is spread about some- one that sometimes is true and sometimes is not. ) O- Have you ever told someone a secret, and then heard that same secret from someone else later?

Fifty-eight percent said sometimes, 10 percent said no, 9 per- cent said I believe a portion of what I hear, and the re- maining 23 percent had vaious answers. Q.

ummer Local Students and Faculty Travel Worldwide Karla, do you itch all over? Karla, do you have bites on your legs, or is it just me? These and many more questions like them were common after a night spent at the Hotel Comprador in Paris, France. France was one of the many places visited this summer by students and faculty. Regions covering various areas of the world were toured. These ranged from Disney World to Portu- gal. Europe and Washing- ton, D.C. were also visited by Satantans. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Tschanz, Karla Feezor and Elisa Stalker toured Europe with the Mid-American Band and Choir group. After two days of rehearsals in Wichita, the tour began in Frankfurt, Germany and ended in London, England. This included Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and France. The highlights of their tour were the Swiss Alps, the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace where the changing of the guard takes place. They agreed that Paris was the most dis- appointing part. Elisa said. Even though it looks like a giant glowing goliball, the Epcot Center holds vast amounts of scientific knowledge. 10 Trips The Redcoats stand prepared for the changing of the guard.
