THE TWIG
FEBRUARY 27, 1975
Guilford and UNC-G offering
studies in Europe, South America
■
GREENSBORO - College
students from everywhere are
invited to join either of six
summer schools abroad to be
offered cooperatively in 1975
by Guilford College and UNC-
Greensboro, or a 65-day
Seminar Abroad conducted
each summer by Guilford
College’s Center for Off
Campus Education.
Each summer school will
last six weeks, with three
additional weeks of free time
for individual travel and
study. The Seminar Abroad
studies the cultures of 14
major cities in 12 European
countries, including Russia.
Summer schools will be
held in London (with one week
in Paris), Paris (with one
week in the Loire Valley),
Athens (with several weeks
spent in Rome, Florence and
the Greek Islands), East and
West Germany (Cologne,
Munich, Eisenach, Leipzig
and East and West Berlin),
Italy (Florence and Rome),
and Cali, Colombia, South
America (with visits to the
Amazon and major cities such
as Bogota).
Each summer school will
provide two courses with eight
hours of credit. The Seminar
Abroad awards four credit
hours.
Information about the
programs may be obtained
from the Center for Off
Campus Education at
Guilford College or from the
Dean of Academic Advising at
UNC-G.
The cost for the summer
schools in Europe is $975,
which covers the roundtrip
from New York to Europe and
back to New York, and during
the six weeks of study, two
meals a day, hotels, tuition
and any travel or program
expenses. The Cali summer
school will cost $825.
The Seminar Abroad,
which will cost $1,990 for 65
days, spends from four to six
days in each city, where
students are given an
orientation, visit places of
cultural and historic interest,
and meet with other students
and officials.
Cities to be visited by
Seminars Abroad include
Paris, Amsterdam, Munich,
Vienna, Zurich-Bern-Wengen
in Switzerland, Florence,

as David is likeable.
Also likeable is Lelia
Gotatoni as a brash, foul-
mouthed, but sympathetic and
warm-hearted waitress in a
small cafe that Alive even
tually finds work at. Like
Alice, one initially recoils
from the waitress and her
language, but (also like
Alice), one soon admires her
gutsy approach to life. Telling
Alice that her life “Ain’t
exactly a bed of petunias”,
she advises her that you have
to simply make up your mind
what you are and what you
want and then “jump in and
let the Devil take the hind
most”.
The soundtrack is ap
propriate for the movie for it
is like Alice herself, romantic,
yearning, sensitive. The
photography is acceptable.
except for the' opening scenes
that flash back to when Alice
was a little girl. The flash
backs looked gimmicky, all
pink and black, and made me
feel like I was watching “The
Wizard of Oz”.
I’m interested in knowing
how men like this movie.
Termed by “Newsweek” as
“Martin Scorsese’s new
feminist film”, I was ex
pecting burning bras or
lesbianism. What I found was
totally different - a sensitive
film that does portray a
woman’s need for a close
friendship with another
woman who understands, but
even more, a woman’s need
for a close relationship with a
man who understands. As a
woman I think you will laugh
and cry and scream with
Alice. Go see it.

Pla€^ment office notes
Congratulations
Several campus
recruiters have complimented
Meredith students on their
preparation for employment
interviews. Comments such as
“Your students have well
thought out answers to our
questions’.’ indicate that
Meredith students have
thought about their em
ployment future and are well
prepared to enter the working
world.
In addition, the recruiter
from Montgomery Ward has
invited three of the students
he talked with to a second
interview at the company’s
headquarters in Florida. This
is significant because the
same recruiter spent two days
at LSU and did not follow up
on any of the students with
whom he talked. Bravo to
Meredith students.
Medical School
Applications for the
Medical College Admission
Test (MCAT) are available
for the 1975 test dates. The test
