Mythologist Joseph Campbell Presents Lecture-Slide Show

by Christine Zaremski Joseph Campbell, one of the world's most well-k;lown mythologists, will give a lecture entitled "Jungian Archetypes" in the Twombley Burden Room on Tuesday, April 8, at 8 p.m.

This lecture is the third part of the Jung Series and will be supplemented by a slide presentation.

Joseph Campbell, an active educator, author, and editor, has recently gained a great deal of popularity on the American college scene. Educated at Columbia University, the University of Paris, and the University of Munich, he has been a professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, since 1934.

Interim's European Tour Lends Great Experience A brass rubbing done by Martha. Wolf on the tomb of Sir John Harpedon, Westminster Abbey, London. The brass, which is about 5 feet in length, was probably done while the knight was still alive, around 1425. It displays his family's coats-of-arms, the hound, and the lion. Brass rubbing is now a popular and lucrative pastime in England and Ireland. Paper is placed over the brass, and the image is reproduced by rubbing over it with colored wax.

Week of Irish Lectures¡ Opens March 9 On Campus Irish culture will be focused here for a week beginning Sunday, March 9, as part of a presentation of a fourteen-day series of lectures by distinguished Irish scholars.

These nightly presentations form the second half of an "Irish Fortnight," a lecture tour sponsored by the Irish-American Cultural Institute and hosted by Providence College and Salve Regina. The first half will be held at the Slavin Center in Providence from March 2 to 8 while the second half will take place at Ochre Court on March 9 to 15 at 8 p.m.

Five prominent Irish writers, poets, actors, and historians will be lecturing on aspects of Irish culture. Topics will encompass folklore, poetry, literature, theatre, and history. Each lecturer will be introduced by a resident of Newport.

Unifying this year's series is the theme of the Irish contribution to America as the nation approaches its bicentennial year. Under examination will be the effects of Irish culture on America in its early years of development.

Scheduled to speak are Tomas OCanainn who will open the program with Essential Folk Music, Brian Ferran who will speak Monday on America. In Ireland in which he will compare selected American and Irish painters, and David Doyle

who will lecture on The Myth of the Famine Emigration and The American Irish and Their Foreign Polley Tradition 1890-1920.

On Thursday night Aileen Harte will consider Interpretations of Boucica.ult followed Friday and Saturday by Donal McCartney who will speak on the forms and forces of 19th century Irish emigration.

Lectures are open to students an dto the general public; there is no admission charge.

A Sincere Thank You Sixty young women students who take the Friday evening course in self-protection are g r a t e f u 1 to Mr. G e o r g e W a 1 k e r and Mr. Thomas Ziegler, Law Enforcement students here, who conduct the course which is free of charge.

Held in Miley Haven from 7-9 p.m. beginning on February 21 and lasting for 10 weeks, the course "is great", says Avgi Ionnidis, liaison person, who "wanted to see it happen". • Women students are most serious about the program, involving strenuous physical exercising and instruction and practice in self - protection.

Those who persevere unto the end will receive a certificate.

by Martha Wolf Twenty members of the college community recently experienced a most intriguing interim in the British Isles. The first of a twopart series, this article will attempt to relate the group's adventures in Ireland; the second will focus on encounters With England.

Entitled "Druid's Legacy", the trip could be taken on a credit or non-credit basis. The tour focused on the Celtic heritage of ancient Britain; and lectures on the music, art, and myths of the people greatly enhanced the depth of experience.

Embarking on the adventure December 29 were Glenn and Joanne Giuttari, Jim and Crane Hersh, Sister Solina Hicks, Debbie Camarata, Julie, Marie, and Denise Elles, Mary Galkowski, Ellen Hayes, Priscilla Hillman, Carolyn Konrad, Denise Kress, Kebra Nider, Ann Rinke!, Joan Smith, Mary Borsuk, and Martha Wolf.

Throughout the journey, there were few flies in the ointment, and those were small flies, indeed. After arriving at Shannon airport, the eager group shuffled expectantly onto a tour bus whose driver proved to be informative, accommondating, and even amusing. Driving off into the mysterious Irish haze, all that seemed visible were deep green fields, small stucco houses, and a seemingly endless chain of stone walls.

After viewing the ancient stone tower that W.B. Yeats restored for his wife, George, the group moved into the warmth of an Irish pub. Here, many became acquainted, or reacquainted with the famed Guinness, and thus were fortified until reaching the hotel in Galway, Spending three days in this small city, many became attached to it, and were reluctant to leave. It had a friendly pub, a snug hotel, and a warm spirited people.

A day trip to the Aran Islands proved unforgettable, particularly so for those who were forced by the elements to spend more than the day there. These are islands of rock; the only soil has

been laboriously built up by the people, and consists of decomposed seaweed brought up from the rocky shores. A small plane took the group to one of the islands in 2 trips, and many spent the day plunging through mire and over walls in the quest of a prehistoric stone fort. At the day's end, the fog ensnared the island before a second plane could land, forcing 5 of the visitors to spend the night in this rugged place with its handful of inhabitants.

Dublin brought sharp contrasts: the noise and commotion of the city, and the powerful stillness and quiet of day trips to passage graves. These were long, Megalithic tombs built into high hill-tops in the form of a cross. Dating back to about 3,000 B.C., many symbols embellished the sacred rocks within the tombs, particularly the circle, and the spiral.

Among the many books he was written and edited are The Flight of the Wild Gander and an important four-volume study of world mythologies entitled The Masks of God. His most famous literary work, Hero With a Thousand Faces, h as sold m ore than 110,000 copies and has become a bestseller on campuses across the nation. The book establishes a parallel between the ancient hero myths and the timeless problem of man's search for identity.

Along with Carl Jung, J oseph Campbell is consider ed t o be the world's leading expert on psychic symbolism. Jung's theor~es of the collective unconscious have had a profound influence on many of Campbell's ideas about the relevance of mythology in the life of m odern man.

Reflecting a strong Jungian influence, Campbell believes tha t "myths are vehicles of communication between the conscious and the unconscious, just as dreams ar e." The only difference between dreams and myths according t o Campbell is that "myths are public dreams" while "dreams are private myths." He suggests that myths t ell just as much about humanity as dreams t ell about an individual.

Both the lecture and slides will focus on Jung's theory of ar chetypes, which is based on the idea that there is a special group of psychic processes or symbols shar ed by all men.

Mini- Semester Courses Attract Many Students Eleven mini-semester courses are being offered here from March 3 to May 9, Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 to 9:30p.m.

Identity Change: A Challenge

by Anne Quigley For many years this college was recognized as a liberal arts women's college. Its enrollment consisted of young women between the ages of 18 and 21. In the recent past, however, the identity of the student body has undergone and is still undergoing a drastic change. More importantly, this change is a challenge to our way of life here.

The Salve student is no longer female and single. Co-education brought students who are also law enforcement officers, navy men, and veterans. Our college population has been further enlarged to include teachers and housewives taking additional courses, R.N.'s working toward their B.S. degree, and a flourishing graduate program in Human Growth and Development. Furthermore, the college serves a large segment of the community with its mini-courses. As a result, a large and diversified population of men and women now make up our student body.

At the present time the total number of students enrolled in classes here is 1485. In the undegraduate program there are 597 male students, 167 of whom are full time and 430 part time. There are 758 women currently doing undergraduate work; 395 of these are enrolled on a full time basis and 363 part time. Of this number 5 men and 242 women reside on campus. In the sophomore class the number of men already exceeds the number of women.

These figures pose some interesting questions. Should men and women in any category have office in student congress? Should all full time students be required to pay an activities fee? Should social events be planned with only our female population in mind? Should our publications continue to feature only young women? Questions could be multiplied, but the point is the same: the changed and changing identity of "the student body" presents a new challenge to Salve Regina.

Ireland Accepts Even Skeptics

by Martha Wolf My reaction was not, I suppose, too different from anyone else's upon her first flight out of the country, although I suspect I carried my feelings of disbelief to extremes. I remained a skeptic for the longest time; nothing could convince me that I was on a jet to Ireland, not me. I'm far from being rich, lucky, or even particularly adventurous; a coward, to be frank.

So, I sat back in my seat, confident that this was some very convincing amusement park ride. Thumbing through an Irish magazine, I marveled at such a well-contrived hoax. I admired them, they had seen to every detail, but r eally, they were not about to delude me into thinking we had actually left terra firma. "Flying over Iceland, are we? That explains why the feet are so cold.'' I thought I'd play along, I respect a good jest.

As we landed, I strongly believed to be still at Logan. I anticipated discussing with the others on board how real it had seemed; how the "turbulence" and realistic scenery made the illusion alive.

I finally confronted reality outside the airport; it was in the form of a haze, deep, penetrating, no mere Boston fog, I knew.

"This is truly alien," I relented, and then realized that it was I who was alien, this mystical moisture was right at home.

Feelings of vulnerability then set in, and I began to question our fates, should this strange land of gray and green react to invasions with hostility. I quickly sized up my companions; unquestionably stalwart though each was, it hardly seemed an adequate defense, should the mist become menacing.

Deciding that my only recourse was to become swiftly attuned to this setting, I determined to hear and see all that enveloping haze would allow. I then discovered my fears to be groundless. The mist was chilling, but it embraced a culture of incomparable warmth.

Soph Clay Jones Speaks Of Book On Black Films Following is a response by Clayborn Jones, sophomore, author of the soon-to-be-published book, Black Motion Pictures.

Q: What were your main sources of information in putting together your book?

A: During the three year period in which I compiled the book, I spent much time reading articles pertaining to the subject of Blacks in the cinema. I watched many of the films several times. I have taken surveys and recorded interviews with Blacks concerning the Black picture dilemma. Also, voices of experience and authority are included to verify the findings.

Q: \Vas the book an opinionated work, or an objective one?

A: In my writing, I have strived for objectivity; but with any controversial topic, opinions do arise. Outlines and reviews of the particular films should illustrate my main thesis in most cases.

Ultimately, it is the reader who must make the choice and substantiate his own criticism.

Q: What are som~ of the key chapters in the book?

A: The chapters, "Past and Present", "Super f I y", and "Sounder" are the most important, mainly because they contain aspects with which the Black movie-goer can identify: in "Sounder" and "Past and Present", Black history and Black pride ; in "Superfly", the style and cool which is so evident in Black people today.

"Past and Present" traces the history of the Black man in the cinema. It reveals the submissive roles that the Black man was forced to play to survive. Many films of the early era are commented on. The question of Black exploitation in movies first appears in this chapter. Highlighted are actors Steppin Fetchit and Sidney Poitier.

"Superfly" deals with the controversy surrounding the film.

"Superfly" is viewed from the critic's point of view and the people behind the film.

Help for the Homeless

Students Aid Honduran Hurricane Victims

by Christine Zaremskl

I

t --~· ~

As part of a college work-study project, Donna Baehr, Ellen Peterson, Sister Norma Orme, and I spent three weeks during the interim in the Central American republic of Honduras.

During our visit, we stayed in San Pedro Sula, a city which lies at the heart of the area which was battered by the destructive force of Hurricane Fifi in early October.

Donna, Ellen, and Sister Norma traveled by jeep to distribute medicines to the Honduran people who lived in small, isolated villages called "aldeas". I spent the three weeks working in an S.O.S. refugee camp in Choloma, a town which suffered heavy losses during the hurricane.

In Choloma, as in many other areas, heavy torrential rains and high winds had sent huge walls of mud and stones crashing down into the valley from the sur-

rounding mountains, trapping thousands of people and destroying many homes in its path. In Choloma over 300 families still live in small tents provided by the Canadian, United States, and Chilean governments in the wake of the catastrophe.

Within the S.O.S. compound is an Infantil Camp where 44 children orphaned by the hurricane are housed, fed, and cared for. I worked with Sister Monica Vaicaitis, a 1972 graduate from Salve, in the children's clinic at the Camp, Although every effort is made on the part of the staff to help these children lead normal lives, there is an unnatural lack of adult guidance, educational stimulation, and forms of diversion such as toys, games, and books. The children seem starved for attention and affection, and just the smiles on their faces during my stay at the Camp was enough to make my whole trip worthwhile.

I

Much farm and pasture land is still covered by flood waters, and many villages remain isolated from help due to inaccessible · road conditions. When Donna, Ellen, and Sister Norma traveled to distribute medicines in the aldeas, they often discovered that no outside aid had reached these areas since Hurricane Fifi.

Although much progress has already been made through foreign aid, it will probably be many years before the Honduran people can complete the enormous task of rebuliding their crippled nation.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I would like to express my extreme displeasure with the textbooks situation as it now stands.

Students have had to wait for weeks for their required books to be delivered. Many times an inadequate number is ordered.

This results in needless chaos, aggravation, and waste of time.

Since professors are now aware of the poor delivery record of their suppliers, I suggest that they place their orders so far in advance as to be certain of having them available when classes start. They should also be given an accurate count of the students in each of their classes by the registrar's office, so that enough books can be ordered.

-Ripping Mad

.. .. ..

Editor: Maybe awaiting that "accurate count" is the difficulty. When are books actually ordered?

. .. .

Dear Editor, I would like to express my opinion concerning the impending regulation concerning visitor passes for all male visitors in Miley Hall. I firmly agree with this new regulation because I feel that the girls living in Miley Hall have the right to be protected from any unwanted males who may just wander through the door.

I feel that the idea of having all male visitors carry a pass which must be presented in demand anywhere within the dormitory is a good security check for the girls.

Although many may feel that this is an insult to •t heir maturity on the part of the administration, it is for the benefit of the residents.

Dear Editor, I would like to make a request to the Campus Ministry in regard to confessions. At present, anyone wishing to confess must call Father Healey and make an' appointment, then go to see him face-to-face. j I think that this sometimes ~ inhibits the confessor. Some come: into contact with Father Healey· every day, and I think most people would prefer the anonymity of a more traditional setup.

Care, Share; But How, Now?

by Father Healy The father of six children was killed in New York recently when he came to the aid of a wounded policeman. The tragedy was compounded by the fact that his wife had died previously.

When the ordinary citizens of the city heard the news, they responded with an avalanche of cash, medical benefits, scholarships and every conceivable form of help for the orphaned children. During my three years of missionary work in Tanzania, a relatively small group of friends in Portsmouth raised $20,000 to assist me. I really believe such example of generosity and concern are not rare among Americans; they are commonplace.

Why, then, does it seem so difficult to rouse people to a similar response in the fact of tremendous tragedies such as the world hunger crisis which threatens entire tribes and even nations? May I suggest a tentative answer? Both because of the enormity of the problem and the geographical distance the whole thing seems unreal to a person immersed in the concrete realities of everyday life. The statistical fact of thousands of homeless children is a dulling, distant bit of information; six children orphaned in this city yesterday are immediate and tangible. The "missionary apostolate of the Church" is a heavy, tired phrase; the priest who taught your sister or daughter in C.C.D. still seems real when he's 9,000 miles away.

If my theory is valid, it would seem that the secret is to develop a sense of immediacy within the Christian community - to somehow relate the ~ople of this parish, the students on this campus to those at a distance with some sort of personal bond.

So much for the theory. What practical steps would affect such a consciousness? There's the rub; I don't know the answer. But I am searching for it, and I consider that search a vital part of my ministry - an integral facet of campus ministry. Where is our community at Salve Regina presently? To what degree is it a true, out-reaching, sensitive community? To what extent are we untapped resources in a hungry, pleading world? What remains to be done? How do we do it?

New Basketball Coach Is Named For Men's And Women's Team Mr. Tony Ames has been appointed head coach of the men's and women's basketball teams here for this academic year.

Dr. Sheila Megley, seeing the n e e d for a well - experienced coach for the men's and women's teams, asked Mr. Tony Ames to be head coach ·f or this year.

Presently Mr. Ames is the Director of Recreation and Group Work at the Newport Boys Club.

The job entails being in charge of the game room, buying equipment and working with different clubs.

He has also coached several winning basketball teams in the Newport area. His work with our teams involves organizing the players into a team. There are many talented players, he explains, but they must learn to play together and work on fundamentals. He sees next year as a strong year for both teams if the present players remain and more players can be recruited.

The future of the athletic program at Salve Regina College looks bright to him.

Disappointed with ·the school morale, he nevertheless believes it may pick up as the teams are more organized. "The women's team should have more players out of the enrollment size, because it is very disheartening to the coach and the players when only eight players are on the team," he said.

Mr. Ames has lived all his life in Newport. He attended the University of · Rhode Island, where he was hurt playing football during his freshman year.

He transferred to North Carolina A and T where he stayed for two years. Two years later he was drafted into the Army.

Upon discharge from the Army, he returned to Newport and worked at the Martin Luther King Center for one year. He is now a senior at Bridgewater State Co 11 e g e majoring in sociology.

The players on the basketball teams see him as a good teacher who takes a real interest in the game of basketball. He is very emotional during a game but he says, "If I yell at an individual player during a game it is constructive criticism and the players know and understand this."

Newport's P'a ul Preu-man Sees His Name In Lights

by Tony Kutsaftis Paul Preuit was already 27 minutes late. That is something that I have learned to contend with. For Paul Preuit to be on time for anything, would be just short of a miracle. It wouldn't be said that Paul would be late for his own funeral; on the contrary, knowing Paul as I have, it would be better odds that he not show up at all.

Paul Preuit, 26 years old, is a full time police officer, full time student, and full time family man. I just had to find out what makes him tick and when I found out, I just couldn't keep it a secret.

Paul seems to be a contrast to members of his own age group. Graduating from Middletown High School in 1966, he entered the United States Air Force 10 days after graduation.

When asked why, at the tender age of 17, he would want to enter military service. Paul simply shrugged his shoulders and said, ''Why not?" Four years in the Air Force seemed to answer the question sufficiently, so in April of 1970 he received his Honorable Discharge. Two weeks later he was the manager of a local furniture store where he remained for 2 years. Then, lightening struck. His true vocation called him and he answered.

In September of 1971 he became a member of the Middletown Police Department. Still only 22 years old, Paul already has seen more, done more, and been more places than people twice his age.

I asked Paul why he wanted to become a cop.

"The inherent need to help people. That's the answer one usually gets. Me, I like the idea of going to work and not knowing what is going to happen, minute by minute. Being a cop offers so mu~.;~l in the way of variety (said with a twinkle in his eye) that it just seemed too good to be true. I loved it then and I love it now."

Since becoming a cop, Paul has joined the Salve Community.

Like everything else he has done, joining campus life was, ·by no means, a small undertaking. Paul has become involved.

And involved he is: Assistant Director of Reader's Theatre, starting forward of the Salve Basketball Team and a participating member of many of the various committees around the school.

Above all this, he is married and has twin daughters. Asked how he manages to fit his family into such a full schedule he said, "My wife and kids understand me more than I understand myself. They're behind me 100% and believe me, they get just as much involved in my activities as I do. I guess that is what love is all about. Understanding one another, and each other's goals and limitations. My wife wouldn't know what to do with me if I was a homebody."

Paul has been in many of the Reader's Theatre productions, sharing the lead in "Bronze Shades", "The Lorax", and "Under Milkwood". I asked Paul if he wanted to ·b e an actor. "To be honest with you, I'd love to.

I don't know that I have the qualities for acting or even the patience, but if someone wants to discover me, here I am!"

There is so much more to Paul Preuit, but I just don't have the space to write it all. I have found part of the real him, and I'm sure before you leave this school, you will find part of him, too.

When closing our interview I asked Paul to candidly sum up his attitude on life. I have\ to pass this little bit of witticism on to you, as I'm sure it will remain with me for a long time.

"Well, Tony, every once in a while, you have to stop, turn around and look in the mirror and say, 'Do you give a (expletive deleted) ? ' "

Trip To Spain Opens New Doors For Students

There is a way to fight inflation, recession, and stagnation, whichever noun best describes our current economic situation, and you don't even have to wear a WIN button.

If you are a student majoring in Spanish and a junior, you can escape the junior-year jitters by participating- in NYU's junior y e a r abroad program. The courses, naturally, are in Spanish, and range from literature and poetry to philosophy and sociology, All courses earn 4 credits, and classes meet twice a week for 1% to 2 hours. The Institute where you are studying, although separate from the University of Madrid, is located within the University City, and is attended by other American university programs and also Spanish speaking students, mainly from Latin America.

Tuition is $800 per semester, but the real inflation beater is the price and travel in Madrid.

An average student can get by on about $100 a month. This is assuming that you don't have outlandish tastes, and excluding extraordinary expenses, such as having a maid in twice a week or taking off to Paris ever y weekend. Travel within Europe is quite cheap. A round-trip ticket to London with a student ID costs $65.

Travel within Spain itself, by ordinary means, such as trains or buses, is fast and inexpensive.

might consider hitch-hiking as a means of transportation. Spain, being a "police-state", has a very low crime rate. What crime does exist is politically motivated.

What amazed us was the genuine feeling of safety one has strolling down the streets at any time of day or night. P erhaps it is because cafes, discotheques, and shows usually close at 3:30 in the morning, or is it the presence of the street cleaners that start washing Madrid's sprawling avenues, and half-lit back streets in the small hours of the m orning? Whatever the reason, the effect is relaxing and comforting and at times overwhelming!

A night out on the town, in Madrid, could start at 6 in the evening if you're lucky not to have classes. After a relaxing "siesta" (rest) during which all

stores, restaurants, and schools are closed for 3 hours from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., you would start off the evening by going to a small cafe in the University section of town and discussing politics with the Spanish students, over a glass of wine. Franco's subjects, especially itudents, are generally willing to discuss their views among their peers in the comfort and security of a smokefilled cafe. Then you would proceed to your favorite discotheque, usually with a group of friends and dance a piped-in soul music, and chat with the disc-jockeys who are usually very interesting characters. The discotheque will close at 9:30, to reopen for the evening session at 11. But after a hard day of classes and enjoying Spanish life, you are ready to return home for supper which is usually served between 10 and

The semester in underway with athletic activities centered around the Newport Boys' Club.

Besides being the home court for the Men's and Women's basketball teams, it also serves as the site of swimming sessions More time has been allotted to Salve students, so swimming has been extended to 4 nights a week. Lessons will be on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 7:30-8:30. Water Safety Instructor (WSI) classes are also being held. If you want to join the class, attendance is mandatory at the Tuesday sessions.

Recreational swimming is being offered on Thursday and Friday nights at 7:30 in the Boys' Club.

You must provide your own transportation. If you have any question or wish to pick up a credit for swimming, contact Miss Leslie O'Brien at Extension 49.

More fan support is desperately needed for the basketball teams. Please check the schedules that are posted throughout the school for the times and dates of the games.

A skating party was held on Sunday, February 9, at St.

George's. Everyone who attended had an excellent time gliding across the ice. Too bad more of you couldn't have been there!

How about being educated sports-wise? Here are some tidbits of information that you

might h11.ve missed: Providence College's basketball team has dropped out of the top 20 in National Polls. Johnny Miller is top golfer in the country to date.

Billy Jean King is now a sports announcer.

12. Eggs, fish, or chicken is on the menu, with a complementary curafe of red wine and a chunk of deliciously fattening Spanish bread. · After dinner, if you can move, and if you're not inclined to tackle books, you may choose to participate in the most common and popular Spanish pastime "tasca-hopping", which is somewhat like bar-hopping, with a continental flavor. What it is, is going from one quaint cafe to another, having a glass of wine and "houre dourves" (about 20¢) . Some of the cafes offer entertainment, like folk-singers, flamenco dancers. This can continue all night, even though you may not.

Luxuries are few in Madrid and even scarcer tn the smaller pueblos. Not every family owns a T .V., washer and drier, or stereo. A family who owns an automobile is considered well off.

Likewise, a family who owns its own home is considered prosperous. The majority of Spanish families live in small apartments, which they either own or rent.

If you're willing -to abstain from a few basic comforts, for a life that can be described as unpredictable, exciting and thoroughly exhilarating, you would be a perfect .candidate for Span-

"A breath of fresh air is inhalation of grace. Fullness of being existent, personal being is achieved by what we offer in return. To be a person is to reciprocate, to offer in return for what one receives."

- Rabbi Abraham Hesche!.

The hospital room was dark; the open door to his room provided slight illumination ; the call light was on. He was alone. I asked what he wanted. I can't remember now what it was.

When I finished with the task, he looked up at me. "I have cancer all over inside me, my · back hurts so much . . ."

He was describing a monster; the future to him promised only horror. He offered knowledge of fear, suffering, loneliness. He spoke of God. I took his hand ; he grasped mine fiercely.

"Don't leave me, talk to me, help me find the way."

Meeting with God was imminent for him. Together we talked, and at times there were silences.

It was during that inexplicable silence that the room didn't seem so dark anymore. ish life. Madrid is the focal point of a land of extraordinary beauty fascinating history, and a diverse combination of cultures.

From the airy out-door cafes to the sand and gore of the bullfights, there is something for everyone: the Prado Museum, one of the world's best, with a sizeable collection of Goya and Valazquez, sailing and book exhibitions in the Retiro, Madrid's beautiful, sprawling park, shopping along Serrano, Madrid's most fashionable street, (no WIN buttons here) or just people-watching, which li a fascinating hobby in a large continental city.

We didn't venture to Madrid to beat inflation, but to study the language, enjoy the people, and become totally integrated in the fascinating experience that is contemporary Spain. America Is the land of comfort and opportunity, but Europe in our estimation has just as much to offer.
