Oaks announced. Dr. Lloyd E. Hud nun, a resident resi-dent of Orem and an associate professor of geography, has been named coordinator of the new program. He recently completed a book on tourism and last summer delivered an address on some of his research findings at an international tourism and travel conference in the Soviet Union sponsored by the International Interna-tional Geographic Union. "Fewer than a dozen universities univer-sities in the United States and Canada offer a similar program," pro-gram," Hudman said, 'and the nearest one to BYU is the University Univ-ersity of Missouri. Others well-known well-known are at the Universities of Jiigara, Massachusetts, and Hawaii." Haw-aii."

"The oil embargo caused only a temporary slowdown of internal travel industry growth in the United States," he said, "but since that time it has had a steady growth. During the past ten years, the industry has had the highest growth rate." Hudman gave several reasons for travel growth; increased expendable ex-pendable incomes, shorter work weeks, .and longer vacations, placing leisure time activities as high-demand functions. "On a per capita basis, Utahns travel more than residents of any other state," he said. 'This has a direct correlation with the Morman culture, ties with the family members in other states, and the level of education and interest shown for travel by residents of the state." He pointed out that BYU is a "natural" for establishing a program for training specialists in travel and tourism because of the nature of the studentbody, the large number of returned LDS missionaries, manyof whom speak a foreign language, Mor mons' interest in travel, the BYU Semester Abroad program, and the BYU-Hawaii campus. The new program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in the travel field, including inclu-ding such positions as travel agents, four operators, tourism development specialists, work in tourism research and economics, eco-nomics, travel sales positions, and staff positions in tourism organizations such as tourist associations, tourism councils, or chambers of commerce. Preparation for positions with public carriers such as airlines, shiplines, or buslines as well as oil companies or other travel-related travel-related industries will also be given in the new program. Hudman said that the associate of arts degree will be for the person going into the entry level of the industry, while the four-year four-year bachelor's degree program will prepare students for a more professional or managerial level. In finding proper courses ap-propiate ap-propiate for the industry, Hudman Hud-man worked with professional travel organizations, such as the Travel Research Association and the American Society of Travel Agents, and received suggestions from them for current and future needs in travel and tourism.

Christmas Seel Ccsmp&icfn Ends In March Although the Christmas Sea son is just a pleasant memory for most Utahns, says Mrs. La-Vern La-Vern Pamley, president of the Utah Lung Association (ULA), it is not over for the Christmas Seal people. The campaign does not officially close until the end of March. The Utah Lung Association, she said has not achieved 75 percent of its goal of $100,000. Although most contributions to Christmas Seals, Mrs. Parmley explains, come during the months of October through December, money continues to arrive throughout the year. Contributions Contribu-tions to date total $74,819. Mrs. Parmley said that it is not too late to mail your Christmas Seal letter. Emphysema, she said, is the fastest growing cause of death in the United States. "The cost of respiratory disease dis-ease in the United States is estimated es-timated at$16.5billionannually," Mrs. Parmley said, 'but much of this money is spent after the fact, fighting to save the lives of patients. We need to spend more on prevention and the promotion pro-motion of good lung health for everyone." a beautiful word for women's shoes FLORSHEIM The Greeks were the first people to pursue mathematics as an art for its own sake.
