V;. t y .:v: The Westminster College Ski Club, despite a large cut in the clubs proposed budget, began planning its annual ski trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at a public meeting held on December 2. The cost of this years trip, according to Mike Wax, president of the Ski Club, will be approximately $125 per person, which includes transportation by bus, lodging for five nights at the Motel 6, and five days of at the Jackson Hole resort. The budget cut hurt us, said Wax during the meeting, it made the cost of the trip increase by $25.00 over last years trip. I hope it docs not hurt our member ship. "The club was cut, said Howard Carter, a spokesman for the executive cabinet, "due to the fact that they do not serve that great a population of Westminster students. I would disagree with that, said Debbie Jenkins, faculty adviser for the Ski Club, because the Ski Club serves a greater population of Westminster students than do many of the other clubs. Last year one of the funded clubs did not even have a meeting. Interest in the Ski Club seems to be particularly high this year as 38 out of the 47 available seats had already been taken by the end of the December 2 meeting. The trip has been planned, according to Wax, for February 21, returning on the 26. To avoid last years problems of empty seats due to late cancellations, fees must be in to the Dean of Students office by January 15. There will be no refunds after this date, but students may sell their reservation to another student. The cost of joining the Ski Club is $5.00, according to Wax, which helps to raise $500, which would then be matched by ASWC as provided for in the budget. The Club, which asked for $2,600 was allocated $1,000 and $500 matching funds. Last year the club lift-ticke- ' V M rtm, J w,, x &' '? ; - V. v yrv j v - pk A .. lV '. ,.,, k v j!

Repairs and improvements have been completed in several areas including: the replacement of worn out benches in the Dane Hansen Stadium, the addition of lights to the tennis court between Foster and Converse Halls, and the repair of the library roof to prevent further water damage. These improvements, according to William J. Clark, Jr., assistant to the president, are only a small part of what the College plans to complete before the end of the school year. While work to fix the leaking roof of Converse Hall has begun, other projects are still waiting to get underway. The interior walls of Payne Gymnasium, according to Clark, will receive a fresh coat of paint this coming January and the tennis court is scheduled to be resurfaced next spring, as soon as the weather permits. Another area of improvement will be Hogle Hall, which is awaiting the arrival of fifty new heaters. We definitely need them, said Roxanne Swedin, hall director for Hogle Hall. The ones we have break down frequently and they dont heat adequately. These projects are but a small part of a master plan unfolded by the planning office. Still, some students are not content with just these improvements. Its too dark around campus at night, said Trudy Rocha, resident of Hogle Hall. "The steps between Converse Hall and Carleson Hall are especially dangerous at night because it is dark and you cannot see them. One of these days someone is going to crack his head. Id like to see them do something with Ferry Hall, said Dave Neidert, a junior at Westminster. Just leaving it there is a possible hazard. There are an aw ful lot of students and members of the community who would like to run on the track, said Doug Alkire, an employee of the College, but it is very rutted and uneven, which makes it very unhealthy. Ran Czajkj ts received $3,500. ICP Scholarship Program ICP, the software information company, announces the fifth annual offering of its ICP Scholarship Program. The Indianapolis-base- d publisher of magazines and directories for the software industry is offering $5,000 to help a student pursue his or her educational goals in the data processing field.
