"If we let it get trashed, it's just another detriment." Newspaper representatives who are working with the committee on the issue have said they, are optimistic about reaching an agreeable solution. . The committee held its first meet? ing on the issue Nov. 2. "Wejhave seen how it's clear that he said. Seniors can sign up on Nov. 10 in the Pit from 1 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cruise, organized through Cole Travel, will cost $475 per student, including the $100 deposit.

Spring break cruises have become traditional for senior class trips and, have been popular in the past, he said,, adding that 145 seniors took the. cruise last year.

The committee members are anx ious to reach a decision, Helpingstine said,-but they realize they must study the solution adequately before acting. his defeat.
