I've taught for two years, and this year I'm learning telemark from the KJ " university" About 10 percent of the students : completing; the riMtructor-trairun- g class go on to become instructors at one of the area resorts. They can ask. for a recommendation from their instructor at the U. to help in getting a position if they choose to continue instructing somewhere else. While teaching for the U. program, the student instructors are compensated by gas money for transportation, and a half-dapass for the days they teach. Both the instructor and .regular ski classes can be a valuable experi-- . ence. "I learned a lot not just about skiing, but also about learning, psychology and people," said Council of the instructor course. "Plus, learning to be an instructor helped my own skiing a lot." , ; "The instructors were really great! I love ; the ; class," said Aleksandra Kuswik, a student in the moguls and freestyle class. "We were split up so the class wasn't so . large and mtimidating. Despite the advantages of taking ski instruction through the university, the classes . are gradually diminishing in size. "Twenty years ago there were almost 2,000. students enrolled in the ski classes " said Goodro. "Now the enrollment has dropped to about 550." Goodro attributes this partly to the fact that more people : have gotten better at skiing. "A P lot of students don't take any fun classes they just take the classes for ; their i major," says Kuswik, a computer science major. "This is a good way to do thing recreational along with your other classes." ; . . , y ; : . mmss 9-1- 10 a.m.- -2 Thb LIGHTEN UP. Immunization Requirement? a.m.-2:- 00 , .
