  • PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/ APRIL 27, 1978 Carolinian Newsbriefs Events happening around Cullowhee and WCU Learn in Mexico Art and Spanish classes will be offered in Mexico this summer under a new WCU program. Students will spend six weeks at San Miguel de Allende, an art colony and hill town in the Mexican slate of Guanajuato. They may earn nine semester hours of graduate or undergraduate credit. Classes to be offered include beginning and intermediate Spanish, and any studio class in art. Classes will be taught in English, so a knowledge of Spanish is not a prerequisite. Tuition under the program will cost $390, and room and board is variable but should add about another $5-7 per day to the cost. A $75 deposit is required of all participants by May 15. San Miguel de Allende is at an elevation of 6,500 feet, and enjoys cool breezes in the summer. It is situated 170 miles north of Mexico City, and 540 miles south of Brownsville, Texas.

Solar technology can now provide energy for many purposes at no higher cost than is required for new investments in conventional energy sources. Dennis Hayes, chairman of Solar Action, the organization sponsoring Sun Day, is hoping that solar energy can be put on an equal financial footing with competing energy sources. He wants to see it have an equal chance and wants institutional obstacles that deter solar energy cleared away. Watch for Sun Day events in Asheville and elsewhere on May 3.
