Our expenses for plant opera tion and maintenance were the low est of all 48 colleges since 1962.” The president warned that these reports do not mean that Meredith has no need for rcsourccs or is on easy street and can relax. He re ferred to a college which had been listed as not in trouble just a few months ago but was now considered in trouble. He concluded, “This means even more that wc need to push hard and continue some four or five years ago and not let up one bit if we ex pect to continue to be healthy. Our relative health depends on continued support. “We can be proud together as we continue to make possible a good education in the largest private women’s college in the Southeast and continue to serve North Caro lina as the private college serving more North Carolina women than any other, never yielding our uniqueness as a small, liberal arts Christian college for women inten tionally seeking to he different rather than following in''thc footsteps of the trends, financial or other wise.” A Summer in Europe for Students Who Care to Learn, Live and Change You con spend 70 thrilling days in Europe with the experienced leaders ond expert guides of the fourteenth onnuol Seminors Abroad at the very low cost of $1,810.

They spent five days of their semester break taking the course, and accord ing to Mrs. Jay D. Massey, head of the physical education department, they want to go back. “We decided to offer the course in skiing because North Carolina has the facilities for it, and we are trying to teach the students sports they can continue to use,” she said. This was the first time the course was offered by Meredith; it probably will be offered again. The students took the course at the French-Swiss Ski College at Appalachian Ski Mountain. “You bend your knees like this,” beamed senior Amiee Oakley as she assumed position. “Oh, I just can’t do it without skis!” Aimee affirmed that she was ready to return to the slopes anytime. “It’s an up and coming thing,” Mrs. Massey said. “Some forty-seven colleges and universities in three states already have students signed for the course at the Ski College, which is only one of several ski schools in the state. Meredith students were the first group to take the course this year at the Ski College, the first taught on a five-day program and the largest group signed up. One reason Mrs. Massey gave for the popularity of skiing among col lege students was that it is one of the few outdoor winter sports, other than team sports, that everyone can enjoy. “It’s a type of recreation that every member of the family can en joy, regardless of their age or skill.” Instruction began on short skis and advanced to longer ones. Stu dents were given two hours of indi vidual instruction in the morning and had supervised skiing or addi tional instruction in the afternoons. ' They were required to ski around and between poles and take a writ ten examination to complete the course. “No, I didn’t break any bones,” said Sophomore Linda Ehrlich in a ^ mildly insulted voice. “The snow made a nice, soft cushion for me to ' lay on.” Summer Tour (Continued from page 3) As of January 6, approximately fifteen students, including two stu dents from N. C. State and one from Peace College, had signed to join the tour. Vicki Clinard of Meredith commented: “I’m really so excited. I just can’t wait because I know this will be a new experience.” Carol Luter, a Meredith senior stated; “I am really looking forward to the tour because it is the first real op portunity I’ve had to travel. I believe the tour will be a good way to help summarize and pull together a four year education.” This tour was created by the In ternational Travel Club of Char lotte, North Carolina. The final pay ment for the remaining tour cost is due March 19. Any interested stu dent may obtain information from Dr. Heilman’s office.
