Phone-A-Thon
Raises $33,000
By GENA BARONE
News Editor
This year’s Phone-A-Thon for
the Mars Hill Annual Fund was a
great success. Volunteer students
from different organizations raised
a sum total of $33,000 which is
$3,000 more than last year’s total.
The Phone-A-Thon ran from
February 18 - March 5 in McCon
nell Gym.
The Mars Hill Annual Fund aids
in paying the college’s operating
expenses such as heat, water, and
electricity. Student’s tuition pays
for only 65% of the operating ex
penses.
The Phone-A-Thon has become
more successful each year since its
introduction in 1980. Student vol
unteers call alumnae to ask for
donations for the fund. Students
also have the extra incentive of

The quality of WVMH is on the
upswing. The station’s equipment

jockeys have become quite agile in
its programming, as members are
now better acquainted with pro
cedures and equipment.
Looking forward into Spring,
WVMH will be doing some remote

Work Abroad Programs in
Britain, Ireland, France, New
Zealand and Germany:
“My summer work in London I
was the most satisfying experience
of my life. Immersed as part of the |
society, among the work force,
facing the same problems of infla-1
tion and bureaucracy, one cannot
help but come to understand how a
culture, a people can differ — in
attitudes, outlooks and assump-j
tions.”
This was the assessment of one
student who participated in the|
Work Abroad Program sponsored
by the Council on International
Education Exchange (CIEE), the |
largest student travel organization
in the United States.
Now in its fifteenth year, the |
Work Abroad Program is the only
one of its kind available in the U.S.
It cuts through the red tape to help
thousands of students obtain per
mission for temporary work in Bri
tain, Ireland, France, New
Zealand and Germany. With the
assistance of the Council’s
cooperating student organizations
in each country and helpful pre
departure material, participants
discover that finding a job abroad
is no more difficult that at home.
Apart from a modest program
fee of $72 ($80 for Germany), the
only significant cost to the student
is the airfare — and even that ex
pense may be reduced by special
student and youth fares available
through any Council Travel office.
“...work abroad is a tremen
dous learning experience; one is
enriched with relationships with
fellow workers and the adventure
of supporting oneself,” reported
another student who worked in a
Paris boutique.
Although jobs found are
primarily unskilled — in
restaurants, stores and hotels —
salaries generally more than cover
the cost of room and board.
The program is limited to full
time college or university students
18 5jjears of age or older. For more
