Geneva Glen: An Experience to be Remembreed Originated in 1954, Geneva Glen is a weekend activity planned ex- pecially for freshman at DU. It takes place at Geneva Glen camp in Indian Hills, where students interact infor- mally with faculty members, ad- ministrators, and upperclass students. This year Geneva Glen oc- curred on the weekend of September 17 through 18. Debbie Rooks, Assistant Dean of Students, tifelt positive about everything that went on at Geneva Glenfl Rooks was assisted in plann- ing Geneva Glen by co-chairs Chris Hilmes and Carol Giles. iiWe had a small turnout in terms of numbers. Only 130 people went this year. It fell on Rosh Hashanah and there was horrible weather. We had a great time though. I think we had a better experience this year because it was more personalizedf, Rooks said. According to Rooks, there was a higher level of facultyrstudent interaction and there were virtually no drinking problems, as opposed to other years. Geneva Glen included planned and impromptu activities guaranteed to please everyone in spite of the in- clement weather. The movie Monty Pythonls iiThe Life of Brian was shown following a night of in- vigorating square dancing. An outpost program option was offered to those participants who wished to sleep under the stars. Hik- ing, volleyball tournaments, and horseback riding at Mount Falcon were among some of the various forms of entertainment available at Geneva Glen. . 5Q Elaine Fusco, a sophomore at DU, went as a selected staff member because of such a positive ex- perience her freshman year. She commented that lit was a learning experience for all. I thought it was a lot of fun. It got the freshmen ac- quainted with everybody. The sports were fun and the volleyball tourna- ment was good. It gave the chance to have everyone work as a team. iilfs very beneficial the first weekend of school to get away. It puts you incontact with people in the same situation and its early enough in the quarter where you donlt have to worry about grades and tests and can feel free to relax in the moun- tains with other freshmen? said par- ticipant Amy Frazier. Another participant, Melissa Mashburn, remarked, IlGeneva Glen was a fantastic experience. It gave me a chance to get away from all the stresses of college life, relax, and get to know people in an informal at- mosphere. I was able to make con- tacts with a lot of professors. A lot of questions were answered in a relatively painless way. I met a lot of good friends that will stay my good friends for the next four years.
