Groups To Sponsor Special Student Tours
To Europe and Mexico At Low Prices
The post office bulletin board
now holds notices of special Euro
pean or South American tours, and
many facuhy members have posted
such information outside their
doors.
One such plan is that sponsored
by Professor Jack L. Fitzgerald, in
structor in Spanish at Wake Forest
College, who will guide a trip to
Mexico this summer. The ability to
speak Spanish is helpful but not
required for the trip,
Fitzgerald, who has spent two
years in Mexico, points out that
there is great merit in traveling with
a group, both for saving money and
for seeing and learning to best ad
vantage.
The total cost of the trip will
range from S419.00 to $539.00,
Depending on the choice of living
accommodations and the number of
field trips taken. Broken down, the
costs are as follows: registration,
$50.00; round trip bus fare, $130;
tuition at the University of Mexico,
$100; room and board, S100-$200;
books, $10.00; and field trips,
$49.00. Spending money required
will depend on the individual’s
weakness for shopping.
The group, though studying at
the university, will live in private
homes, for there are no dormhories
on campus. Fhzgerald will person
ally supervise the selection of resi
dences, placing students with families
of which they will be real members
and providing opportunity for put
ting Spanish to practical use.
Courses in language, Iherature,
art, and history will be offered, with
credit being given up to eight hours.
The session begins June 25 and ends
August 11.
