'The valid part of the cost-cutting has been looking at the pro grams, understanding the educational ben efits," and.figuring out how to preserve the "vitality" of the programs. The hefty cuts meant some tough decisions about what to keep. "We tried to preserve everything that we thought was absolutely intrinsic to the programs. Johnson said. In that spirit, day trips, the academic programs, internships, and on-site orienta tion for programs with a significant language barrier will be essentially unchanged. Longer trips were eliminated, which Johnson regrets because, "A lot of the travel was educational travel... It wasn't just frills stuff." Taj Greenlee, a junior who recently returned from London, said, "I think it's sad that some of the opportunities Guilford stu dents have had in the past won't be pro vided to those in upcoming years." The biggest change is the elimina tion of week-long breaks. The college can save money by starting the semester a week later and avoiding paying rent while housing is empty because students are on break. Johnson recommends that students travel either before or after the term. For fall semester programs in Munich, Paris, and London, Johnson suggests that "most people have left Europe by the end of August," making early September a good time for travel.

Johnson is frustrated by what he sees as a nearly impossible task, but feels that so far the integrity of the programs remains unharmed. "We still have the academic program intact. It's just the enrichments that have gone." The study abroad budget for next year is only slightly in the red, and Johnson says "nothing else can be subtracted." The $4500 being paid to repiace faculty members who are abroad would go a long way towards balancing the budget, even allowing some of the trips and breaks to be added back into the program. Study abroad attracts many students to Guilford. Nearly forty percent of the student body participates in programs, and by cutting funding to the programs, Will iams fears, "We could be killing what is a shining point of our college." Gradually, as the college's plan to cut total financial aid awarded to incoming stu dents is implemented, the study abroad bud get will actually increase. Johnson hopes that some aspects of the programs —fall break for some pro grams, a language orientation for Brunnenburg, a student assistant for Guadalahara—can be added back. In the meantime, students going abroad are still taking advantage of a good opportunity. "I think the programs are fan tastic and they're going to be great any way," said Johnson, who is committed to helping students explore other possibilities like aid from the Board of Visitors to help with travel expenses.
