  • page 2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN TUESDAY MAY22.1973 Return Of The WCU South American Tourists Where can you find filetmig- non with mushroom sauce and all the trimmings for $1.50, an emerald ring for $35, a five- mile taxi ride for 40<J, or maid service for as little as five cents an hour? In Colombia, South America. There are at least 29 WCU students and six professors who can testify to this—because they have been there. Although they returned to campus at least eight weeks ago, the students who spent "Winter Quarter in Colombia" are still talking about their experiences in that country. So are the student teachers who interned there last quarter. And just incidentally, theyre doing a good job of promoting next winter's programs, which are already in the planning stages. "You won't have any trouble recruiting students next year," confided one male student back in February, "because when we get back we're really going to talk it up." Apparently he and the others are keeping that promise. The 15 students participating in Western's "First Annual mwos <t\osei Bel Harbor fish Cdmp PIZZAS; ' Winter Quarter in Colombia" were Johnny Ashe, Bob Barbee, Rod Bickett, Wyche Bryce, Trudy Chandler, Liz Cheesborough, Donna Few, Jacque Furr, Vo Johnson, Marilyn Matus, Shelia Pannell, Eva Russell, Doug Sandow, Allan Stubblefield, and Mary Wyrick. Though they ranged from freshman to senior and represented 10 different majors, their numbers were equally divided among Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education. What most of them seemed to have in common was a sense of adventure plus a desire to study Latin American Civilization (with R. Edward Nelson of Business, who directed the program) and improve their Spanish (under Dr. Pat Prick of Modern Foreign Languages). Then there were the 14 student teachers under the guidance of Drs. Tom Pickering and John McFadden. Kathleen Blust, Bobbie Hilton, Donna Mallard, Diane Morgan, Melody Stinson, Norma Sumner, Ann Turpin, and Anne Walsh did their teaching at the American school in Barranquilla, Colombia's largest Caribbean port; Linda Loftin and Roberta Varner taught in Cartagena, the walled coastal city through which passed South America's 16th century. Gail Ferguson, Paula Garrison, Hugh Johnson, and Kathy Kosterman did their student teaching at the American school in Cali, an industrial city in southern Colombia which boasts of eternal Spring, a large A- merican colony, a population of nearly 1,000,000 and the most beautiful women in the world. In Cartagena they met Gail Young, a 1971 WCU graduate, and in Cali they found Debbie Nelson, a 1972 graduate. Both had enjoyed their Colombian student teaching so much that they joined the faculties in A- merican schools there after a graduation. PROFESSIONAL DRUG STORE EJORN ARI.IN.

At least four of this year's group have applied for teaching positions in the schools where they interned. For both groups, the quarter began in summery Barranquilla. Whereas the student teachers went almost immediately to their assigned schools. The Winter-in-Colombia participants remained headquartered in that city's plushest hotel for six nights,makingsidetrips to the colorful coastal resorts of Santa Marta and Cartagena, both founded by Spanish conquistadors over 400 years ago. An important introduction to this "educational experience" included daily plunges into the Hotel del Prado's pool or the warm Caribbean surf. Next came an eight-week stay in Cali, where the Winter-in- Colombia students attended morning classes; their afternoons and evenings were free for swimming, exploring the city~and studying. Group tours from Cali includ" ed a visit to Popayan, Colombia's most aristocratic and intellectual city, which has given the country 14 of its presidents. A side trip to the Indian village of Silvia allowed the students to bargain with the natives — in Spanish — for brightly colored ruanas (ponchos) and other items of wearing apparel. A four-day bus trip took the group over narrow, cliff-hanging gravel roads high in the Andes to one of the most important archaeological sites in the world: San Agustin. There in the southwestern corner of Colombia the students inspected grotesque stone statues carved by indians of the mysterious Jaguar Cult over 2,000 years ago. The students were not limited to guided tours, however; some struck out on their own or were taken on sightseeing grips by their Colombian hosts. Two young men made a 24-hour round trip by crowded bus (complete with live pigs and chickens) to see a bullfight in Med- illin, which is only one hour away by air—but much more costly! Whereas most of the student teachers shared apartments, the Winter-in-Colombia group lived with wealthy families, all of whom had one or more live- in servants. In most cases, if there were children in the family, they attended the highly prestigious (and expensive) American school outside Cali, where classes are taught in English. On the other hand, a majority of the parents spoke little or no English, which gave the WCU students an oppor- Senate Business ....

While a previous knowledge of Spanish was not a requirement for participation in either program this year, all now feel that a basic knowledge of the language is a "must" for those who wish to spend a meaningful winter in Colombia. Most of the Colombian parents treated the students as sons and daughters rather than guests, taking them on weekend family visits to ancestral country homes, including them in social club memberships, and celebrating their birthdays. There were tears at the Cali airport when the students left behind their Colombian families and friends, and there were promises to return this summer , next year, or as soon as possible. Since several Colombian American romances making final, often futile, efforts to close their suitcases, now bulging with ruanas, wall- hangings, wood-carvings, and other reminders of their stay in Colombia. Those interested in next winter's programs will have a chance within the next few weeks to view slides made by Dr. Frick on this year's tour and to ask questions of those who were with her. Announcement of the exact date and time will be made later. In the meantime, further information may be obtained from the School of Education and the Modern Foreign Language Department. On Course Requests $99,536 Cecil Brooks, dean of records and admissions, saidyesterday that Fall 1973 Quarter course requests will be cancelled for any student who is academically suspended at the end of spring quarter. Brooks said fall quarter class schedules will be cancelled for students who have pre - registered but has not paid for his fees prior to Sept. 10. Brooks said these procedures reflect two changes in the way fees were collected before. He said the moves were being taken to make available a maximum number of class seats for the Sept. 20-21 registration period. He noted that in the past, his office would cancel schedules for students who had not paid by the end of the Sept. registration period, rather than before it.
