Say 'adieu' to ASU;
make scenic getaway
__•

‘T in sick of this place. If I
don’t get off this (explitive
deleted) campus and out of this
(explitive deleted) desert I’m
going to lose what’s left of my
mind.”
Sound fam iliar?
Every session, especially in
the sum m er, students ex­
perience the feeling of boredom,
cabin fever, or claustrophobia
and feel like they have to “get,
away” to retain their sanity.
The feeling is especially acute
in a place like Arizona, where
the entire spectrum of outdoor
environments is within driving
distance. Unfortunately, many
feel like they’re stranded on
cam pus by lack of tra n s­
portation or the expense of bus
and plane fare.

may attend. Minimum trans­
portation costs m ust be paid to
the MU when registering for the
trips. For overnight trips, motel
costs are paid at the lodge. A
valid summer ID must be
presented when registering, in
the MU Activities Center.
The Grand Canyon tours,
which take place June 15 and 16
and July 20 and 21, include stops
a t M ontezuma C astle and
Sedona, and a ride through Oak
Creek Canyon. Once at the
Canyon, visitors may do what
they want; no structured tour is
included.
The Tucson trip on June 22
includes visits to the Arizona-

_
Sonora Desert Museum, the Old
Tucson movie location, and San
Xavier del Bac Mission.
The Scenic Railway ride is the
highlight of the White Moun­
tains trip, July 26 and 27. The
lush pine forests and old mining
communities of eastern Arizona
make for a beautiful and in­
teresting trip.
R egistration deadline for
each tour is the Wednesday
before each trip . E arly
registration is recommended,
as the tours are expected to fill
ig> quickly. More detailed in­
formation, including costs, may
be obtained at the MU Activities
Center, or by calling 965-6840.

These scenes weren't taken from your world geography text
or G rim m 's Fairy Tales. They're real places and they're
right here in Arizona. Above
is a shot of a creek in the
White Mountains, and at left
is a look, probably more
fa m ilia r, a t the G rand
Canyon. Students can make
weekend jaunts to see these
and other sights, and leave
the world of lectures and
term papers behind for a
while, by registering for
M e m o ria l Union Scenic
Tours.

The Memorial Union mid
Summer Sessions are offering
what may be a solution for
many such students: trips to the
Grand Canyon, Tucson, and the
White Mountains.
One trip to the Grand Canyon
is scheduled for each summer
session, along with a trip to
Tucson during the first session
and a trip to the White Moun­
tains during the second.

Goodwill gets
six ton haul
at year's end
Six tons of shoes, clothing an<
appliances were left behind as
residents of eleven ASU dorms
went home for th e ' «nmmw
Goodwill Industries of Centra
Arizona benefited from the
belated spring cleaning and
carted aw ay 150 barrels
brimming with 12,000 pounds d
recyclable donations, according
to Ed Sovola, Goodwill’!
director of community affairs.
Sovola is always surprised b$
what winds q> In the Goodwill
barrels and the ASU collection
drive w as no exception
¡tudents dropped radios, steam
runs, dishes and hot plates in
he blue barrels stationed on
each floor. Sorters a t Goodwill
also unpacked a portable Mack
and white television and a anal!
microwave oven. Most of the
appliances need repairs, Sovola
noted.
Closets full of clothes and a
large inventory of shoes made
up the bulk of the Goodwill haul,
nduding form ats, h a lte rs,
eans and jackets — including
one fur coat.
“We got just w hat we like,”
Sovola said, explaining- that
clothing sales account for 60 per
cent of Goodwill’s to tal
business.
But Sovola still hasn't decided
what significance there is — if
any — to one garm ent which
igtired prom inently in the
student give-away — bras in all
sizes and colors.
