EVENTS . . . both domestic and international determined the issues raised and dis- cussed at national and mock conventions. More local events, large and small, shaped the memories of those good ole college days. The trauma of a freshman ' s first col- lege exam and the subsequent party to celebrate its success or failure; a shopping trip uptown ' with a friend; attending the Little River Band concert amidst funny smelling smoke; seeing Maynard Fergu- son and the parade of floats on Home- coming weekend; being a delegate to the Mock Convention; spending a winter month in a foreign country; and with the coming of spring, celebrating Greek Week. All of these were special things that could only be brought to mind when thinking of college life.

And Snow It Goes Lucky were the few who man- aged to get out of the country for J-term. Although five travel seminars had to be cancelled due to a lack of student participation, some students did find themselves learning in distant lands. Back here in the states, internships were planned as were a theatre trip to New York City and excursions to Wil- liamsburg and Harrisburg. For those who chose to remain on-campus, there were classes to attend and, despite the scarcity of snow, an abundance of ac- tivities. Sports enthusiasts found themselves at the Field House watching basketball games and swim meets, skating on Brit- tain Lake, planning the ski club Water- ville trip, or playing in intramurals. Engaged in an exchange with Oxford University, England, eight of our students spent two weeks at Cambridge attending gra- duate education classes. Visiting British schools and sitting in on lectures and discussions, they answered questions about the American education system. Housing consisted of ten single rooms to a house — no dormitories. Mealtime meant eight people in a group with small portions and no secondsj Sightseeing included the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. Side trips were taken to Stonehenge, Devon on Cornwall, Plymouth, Stratford on Avon, and Scotland. The only sophomore on the trip, Diane DeStefano described the British as a cold people but the land as beautiful. Camel drivers take you for all you ' re worth, said Paula Hinterleiter of her experience with Dr. Wayne Christy ' s seminar to the Holy Lands. At the pyramids in Cairo, it cost $7 or more for ten min- utes. Making a new friend on her January trip to Israel is Tracy Merry. - P.

Nichols Bill Bensur attempts to get around a Grove City player during the winter basketball season. - J. Miller Visiting Egypt, Israel and Jordon, the group also travelled to Mt. Sinai on unpaved road through the desert. Ris- ing at 2:30 a.m., it took two hours to reach the mountain and three more to climb the 8,000 feet and watch the sun- rise. Learning the language through bar- gaining with the merchants, they dis- covered the people liked blond hair, fair skin, and President Carter ' s friendly face. Women still appeared to be treat- ed as second class citizens. The tour saw the star marking the spot where Jesus was born, the house where he was held prisoner, and his tomb. If you put the commercialism behind, Paula concluded, the exper- ience was richer and more wonderful. Points of interest on Dr. W.T. Nichols seminar through Russia were the Moscow Cir- cus, the Bolshoi Ballet, Siberian folk dancers, an open market in Kiev, a state farm for 1500 people, and Lenin Stadi- um — site of the Summer Olympics. For senior Diane Mahlmann, the best experiences were personal one to one contacts with the Russians. In this re- spect, counterpart meetings between the visitors and screened Russian facul- ty and students were valuable. Diane felt the U.S. imposed grain embargo could have been the reason the American students were kicked out of two restaurants. She also mentioned microphones in hotel rooms, luggage that was x-rayed and searched, and film that was exposed. We tried to teach them the bump — can you imagine how idiotic it looks? Diane recalled. Yet, it seemed more important to learn their ways and dances. That was fine with me — it ' s what I wanted. 6
