NEPAL STUDENTS GEAR UP

If anyone had told you: a few years ago
that the college would be sponsoring a
field trip to Nepal, you very likely would
have thought they were a little unhinged.
But, in only a few months’ 30 students from
age 19 to 57, along with instructors Terry
Brown, Karen Lind, and Carole Stanhkey (Bi-
ology prof from UBC). will be heading to
Nepal for 24 months. Understandably they
are getting rather excited about it. Right
now the students are getting prepared in-
tellectually and physically -= on the one
hand by means of lectures on the economy,
geography, art and religions of the land,
and by their own readings, and on the oth-
er hand by working up their own personal
fitness levels and hiking up the Lions on
weekends. Since they are going to be hik-
ing to an elevation of 18,000 feet in the
Himalayas they'll need to be in shape. The
courses that the students will be taking
in Katmandu are Geography 249, Anthropol-
ogy 249 and Biology 105. And in case .syou
’ didn't know, the name of the university In
Katmandu is Tribhuvan University.
