Western offered a tour of the British Isles as well as traditional classes in unshine, high temperatures and the relief of air conditioning were summer at Western. Everything slowed down when most students left in May. Parking was no problem, lines were short, and dorms were almost empty. The campus resembled a plantation with its oppressive heat and the slowness of a Southern drawl. But with only five weeks in a summer- session term, an underlying urgency hit many students. Some people went to the library, but others spent their free time sunbathing. Volleyball, ten- nis and jogging were common even with a ‘record heat wave. For $200 to $500, 5,240 students went to summer school. For $1,400, Lee Lamb, Cheryl Bickett and 22 other Western students toured the British Isles. The students in England spent weekdays in lectures, in museums and at historical sites. “| went to the book shops, the parks and the National Gallery. | spent almost a whole after- noon just sitting in St. Paul’s Cathedral, partly because it was so beautiful and partly because it was so rainy, cold and windy outside,” Peter Bryant, a Bowling Green junior, said. Students at Western were enjoying the warm, leisurely atmosphere. “| didn’t think it was as hectic (as the fall) because there were not so many activities, such as the sorority and the horseman’s association,’ Barbara Fyock, a Louisville senior, said. ‘‘Just work, classes and free time — | spent a lot of time at the pool.” Paula Foley, a Russell Springs senior, liked her schedule. ‘‘I had class in the morning and was out at 9:30 every day,” she said. “‘My after- noons were free, and | had a lot of time for relaxation.” For the second year, the summer term was GROUNDS KEEPER Jimmy Penrod clips the grass under the metal sculpture beside the fine arts center.

Registrar Stephen House said he liked the new sessions and he thought the students did als o. “There is the opportunity to earn more hours if that is the student's primary interest, or if he only wants a few hours, then it gives him some time off,’’ House said. “| think I got a lot out of the classes because | didn’t have time to get bored,’’ Sherrie Corum, an Auburn sophomore, said. ‘‘The five weeks go, and you’re out.”’ Ann Allgood, a Louisville senior, said she preferred summer school because of the relax- ed atmosphere. “| didn’t feel that they had to cover the sub- ject like regular semester classes,’’ she said. “They cut out most of the garbage that prob- ably wouldn’t have done much good anyway.’ Students who took the five-week tour of England and Scotland stayed with host families to keep the costs down, instead of staying in hotels. Those families gave the students their most memorable experiences. One of Lamb's British hostesses tried to find ham to make a hamburger. ‘She went hunting for ham and came back and said she couldn’t find any and asked if ground beef would be okay,” the Central City senior said. Bickett said her hostess in Cheshunt, England, prepared an American breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, cereal, orange juice, milk and tea for her guests. She said her hostess thought this was typically American — a surprise to the Bard- stown junior since she doesn’t eat breakfast. The trip was, in a sense, a class because students got six hours credit. Each student was required to keep a journal of their impressions on the trip and do a paper when they returned.

A tale of two summers Most students went to the British Isles because they thought it would be a once-in-a- lifetime experience. “lm all tired and excited in the same breath,” Sheila Riley, an Owenton senior, wrote in her journal. But school in Kentucky was ‘good,’ too. “This was the best of the three summer semesters I’ve been down here,” Shawn Bryant, a Glasgow senior, said. ‘“‘We had pic- nics, parties — we had fun.”’ Robin Faulkner and Donna Joslin LJ NO aac — John Rott AN UMBRELLA KEEPS South Central Bell repairman Doc Brinkley cool as he repairs cables between Rodes-Harlin, Mc- Cormack and Gilbert halls.
