Little did she know that she would love the city so much and that she would apply to live a semester in the townof Angers. In August, Julie made her voy age to France to become a stu dent of language and culture. Julie is a junior and a French major and felt that a trip abroad would heighten her awareness of French, and an immersion in the culture would help to understand the French way of life better.

While in Paris, she was able to meet many students from dif ferent countries: Sweden, Ger many, Russia, and Madagascar.

Coach Carl Hatchell is very pleased with the way that the season has gone so far, but wishes national House. At least one half of the build ing will belong to security and the remaining offices will go to fac ulty members. Chief Shattuck said he is very excited about the move for many reasons. The staff will have more room and will be better able to serve the students as they will no longer share the building with Environmental Services. Chief Shattuck summed up his feelings on the new plan by saying,”We will be better able to serve the students now that we have privacy.
