Student travel programs for summer have been set up which allow students to travel in groups at a low cost and learn about different countries as they go A wide range of programs are offered college students For those with the time and money it’s an ideal way to spend a summer Is there a better way to learn about international relations study geography or master a language than to visit foreign places and mingle with the people? It’s doubtful that there is Those who stay in the United States needn’t feel too slighted however In fact they can mingle with representatives of these countries right here at USU Students from outside the USA that are attending school here can give first-han- d accounts of subject s Tom Fitzgerald their countries They can describe the places that would be seen on tours give geographical descriptions and might even throw in a language lesson Opportunities for greater learning and understanding arc available to everyone It is up to each individual to take Editor Student Life: I have noticed with interest the initiative and learn what he can from the sources the continued agitation to allow available of campus Students living in this day and age have opportunities Abe smoking Lincoln never dreamed of Students are also challenged to put buildings especially the Stutheir interest and emphasis on intellectual matters that really dent Union Building Customs mean something in society today Trivial matters only tend to have changed since I went to school here before Now those halt the progress of understanding who desire to smoke may do so on the campus whereas then smoking was not allowed on the campus at all Is this progress?
