Turkey continued had a difficult time getting back on that train again, even though I had the proper visas. I will only say that it was worse than the first time, but at least I had a bottle of Raki, the traditional Turkish firewater, to ease my misery. This summer did a great deal for me, and I really did not realize what I would learn from my experience until I got home. I am still discovering things. It boosted my confidence to untold heights, and when I stepped off the plane in Vancouver I felt as if I could do anything. It also taught me a lot about people, and having friends half way around the world makes the world seem a lot smaller and more friendly. - Jim West NEXT WEEK: CHRIS BANNISTER IN FRANCE. By popular demand... Several people who attended the Mad Artists' Tea Party have requested the recipe for Donna McLaren's punch, so here it is. Hosts of future college parties take note—this is a winner. 1 quart freshly brewed strong tea, chilled 2 cans (6 ounces each) frozen concentrate for lemonade, thawed 1 can (6 ounces) frozen concentrated orange juice, thawed 2 quarts cranberry juice cocktail, chilled 1 quart cold water 1 bottle (34 ounces) club soda, chilled 1 bottle (34 ounces) ginger ale, chilled 2 packages (12 ounces each) of frozen whole strawberries or rasperries in syrup (Donna used raspberries) In large bowl, stir together all ingredients except ginger ale. If not serving immediately, refrigerate. If both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic punch are desired, divide punch into two equal parts. Add ginger ale to one part, and 1 bottle (750 m1) of champagne to the other. Instead of adding ice, float frozen block of berries in each bowl to chill and garnish. Makes 58 servings, 4 oz each.

It is that what students take away in a positive sense from an institution of higher education is little more than the spillover of excitement and commitment that they observe in the adult models around them. If administrators, faculty, and support staff are made up of contentious cynics and spiritual zombies, students will develop a notion of life and the mind that is finally expressed in the phrase, ‘Who needs it?' If, on the other hand, they find themselves surrounded by human beings who exude dedication and excitement in their own lives, an invaluable role model is created." - Stephen K. Bailey from Administrator, 11/29/82
