The effort was part of theannual honors and scholarship weekend in which talented, rising freshmen are invited to interview for scholarships. The weekend also gives the potential Stetson students a chance to have a closer look at Stetsons' honors program. The weekend was organized by Dr. Donald Musser. Director of the Honors Program, and Linda Glover, Dean of Admissions. Musser, along with President Lee, spoke at a reception Friday evening for the students and their parents. Lee commented on the qualities of Stetson while Musser talked about past honors graduates and the jobs and positions. they have now achieved. While always an important event, the weekend has taken on new importance as Stetson strives to place more emphasis on ijs honors program. With the founding of the honors dorm in thebeginning of the 1991-1992 school year and the arrival of Dr. Musser at the helm of the program, Stetson acknowledged the importance of the program in producing some of itsbrightest students. The main focus of the weekend, aside from the scholarship interviews, dealt with pairing up the potential students with current honors students. The brief time allowed the potential students to have a chance-to experience the honors program first-hand. 19 ■!>.»t^,*-W participates to swap vrftii Omjciid Bench department Adclcg.Hionnffi\3picr.nr.!:p| i:cip.ii.nj- -i. an c\ci i-u-c pro- Rhssjhu !a^ cnrcicr..r.cni olfuxiis l--i!: v -^ ihc °"J1-^ <i Beach \\:!hisiiSrn.For-c-pTacsdny.M«Th 'r'o\icc Department. \V!:;le at 8. lie group Is nesded bj'General -ictson. they '.«■!' ^sc.:;ss ihe Gcnn.idy DiMkov. men:cr c' Cne '*en serous problems c* crime SuprcmcSo- iacrilicPiESsianfcd- ™d corr.iptiop :'-W.

Try Europe for a semeste By Becky Bridges Assistant Editor-in-Chief Do you ever get tired of the same, old scenery day after day? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to just leave Stetson behind for awhile and experience a place that is totally new for you? Many Stetson students have probably wished for a change in their academic pace and for a change of scenery at least once in their time here at Stetson. What many students don't realize is that the university itself offers programs which allow students to experience a different culture while continuing vigorous studies that can be applied towards their Stetson degrees. Stetson University offers study abroad programs in Nottingham (England), Dijon (France), Moscow (Russia), Freiburg (Germany), and Madrid (Spain). These programs are official university programs, and thus grades earned in courses at those study centers carry over to the students' transcripts after studying there. Students can even work on their major degree requirements with the approval of their respective departments. What's more, studying abroad does not cost any more than studying for the same length of time here at Stetson. Infact,dependingonwhere you choose to study abroad, it may even cost less to go to school abroad than it does here. Stetson students Bertice Berry, both a sociologist with a Ph.D. and a comedian performed last Friday in Nitelights. Berry was part of the activities for Women's Week and also the activities for the prospective honors students who were on campus this weekend.
