|ploring famous museums,

bpean marketplaces and re
living six semester hours of

tf the adventures that can
experienced this summer
irough a special course being
Tered by Texas A&M.
Dr. Carolyn Adair, director
fstudent activities, said that the
FAMU in Italy” course, which
being offered during the first
immer session, is designed so
at most majors can fit two of
gcourses into their degree
The courses include man-
ement, English, history,
anthropology and humanities
classes — most of which have no
prerequisite.
Adair, who will be teaching a
psychology course, said she first
became interested in Italy after
she took a five-week tour of the
country and fell in love with the
people and the culture.
“I felt that there was a need to
offer a course which would get
students interested in culture,”
she said. “The joy I receive is
from watching the faces of my
students as they see the things
that they have read about all of
their lives.”
All of the professors teaching
the courses are from the Univer
sity, and will be taking a total of

sixty students to Italy for the
seven week course, Adair said.

Dale Marsico, executive dire

non-profit organization, said he
is interested in the heating assist
ance program.
In order to get funding for
the project, Marsico said, he had
to contact the Community
Council of Greater Dallas. At
first, he said, he was sent a little
less than $3,000 but then he
asked Tanner for more money.
Marsico and Tanner are
working on a contract to deter
mine how much money will be
distributed in this area.
Marsico said that as soon as he
knows how much money will be
allocated to his agency, he will
notify the Lone Star Gas Co. in
Bryan, and then Program
HAP’N will be put into effect in
this area.

“We (the University) decided

The long check-cashing lines

Traveling as a group, the parti
cipants will depart from Hous
ton for Milano, Italy, on May 14
and return on July 4.
Students will reside in a con
verted monastery and eat food
prepared by Italian women who
live in the tiny village that is
approximately 40 miles south of
Florence.
“The food is just fantastic,”
Adair said, “and the ice cream is
out of this world.”
Vending carts are abundant
throughout the entire country
side, she said, selling everything
from flowers to food to hand
made crafts. For those who tire
of eating in the same cafeteria
every day, sidewalk cafes are
scattered about and are very
reasonable in price, Adair said.
“Learning to understand the
Italian culture is the one thing
that is stressed,” she said.
The trip will cost about
$2,750 which includes air fare,
lodging, food and excursions
and students who are interested
may apply for a short-term loan
from the Student Financial Aid
office. However, they must do so
quickly because of a limited
number of spaces that are avail
able, she said.
A one-hour credit course has
been started to brief students on
passports, individual travel and
geography.
Dr. Candida Lutes, associate
dean of the College of Liberal
Arts, is registering students for
the course.
