P-t-P forums advise those Europe-bound
To those students who can hardly wait until classes are over so they can take off for Europe, here is some important news.
People-to-People has started five forums for those persons going to Europe this summer. The first of the meetings was held at 7 p.m. yesterday in the Kansas Union It dealt with general questions related to traveling abroad; passports, shots and packing.
THE SECOND OF THE forums has been planned for April 26. Information on touring in Belgium and France will be the topic of the discussion.
A third, fourth and fifth forum will be held at the same time and place (7 p.m. Kansas Union) May 4, May 11 and May 18 respectively.
The third forum will discuss traveling in the Scandinavian countries while the fourth meeting's topic will be touring in Mediterranean Greece and Italy. The last of the forums will offer information on Germany and Austria.
"THE FORUMS WILL be conducted by experienced travelers as well as by native students from the countries to be visited." Dave Waxse, Oswego junior and chairman of People-to-People, said.
According to Waxse, this year, People-to-People has made available the organization's Homestay Program to members of the Student Union Activities Group flight as well as to anyone traveling to Europe this summer.
The Homestay portion of People-to-People is, according to Waxse, "a unique experience which provides the students a rewarding opportunity in the field of international relations on a personal level."
PARTICIPATING STUDENTS in the Homestay Program will be chosen to represent their university as student ambassadors to Western Europe.
Homestays, Waxse said, will last for three weeks. Every student will be assigned to live with a host family.
