The popularity of skiing has been steadily on the rise. Every year more and more people, both young and old start heading for the slopes. From December, when most people are on Christmas vacations, right on through late March and early April there is a steady flow of skiers crowding the slopes. Around New England the best skiing can be found in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and upper New York state. Some of the more popular ski resorts are Stowe, Mt. Snow, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, Magic Mountain and ~rom ley, among scores of other places. Besides skiing, most of these places provide other activities as skating, tobaggoning, ski-dooing, indoor swimming and what everyone looks forward to after a day of skiing or whatever, a huge, warm fire to relax by. fl For those who are just taking up the sport, instead of investing a lot of money in expensive equipment, the sensible thing to do is rent the equipment for the ·first few times, and then make the investment, or better yet, start skiing before Christmas and ask Santa for the equipmenb As far as clothing goes - a light weight parka, a warm sweater, either dungarees or ski pants, thermal underwear, heavy socks, a warm hat and warm mittens, are the basics. · For those here at Salve who ski or would like to ski there is a newly formed Ski Club on campus - watch for meeting days and bring your suggestions.
Nearly 100 U. S. and Canadian ski areas have joined the Student Ski Association's program of providing college students with half-price skiing. At press time, 97 North . American areas had joined, and Association Director Kim Chaffee admitted confidenti~ that well over 100 areas would be offering special student rates through the Association before winter. In its second year, the Student Ski Association is the largest national organization helpi~g college students and ski areas get together. Last year, Director Chaffee, older brother to Olympic Ski Team racers Suzy and Rick, signed up over 30 areas and a membership of .close,to 10,000. "We are confident this season," said the former Harvard and Berkley graduate, "that our membership will reach 80,000 college students." He points out that 25% of today's skiers are attending college or graduate school. "With over 8 million college students in the U.S. alone, the impact of this program on the skiing industry should be enormous." Now with a network of five full-time, regional managers, and over 1,000 college campus representatives acroso3 the U.S. and Canada, the Student Ski Association is engaged in a massive membership drive. Posters, flyers, ski shows, on-campus promotions are all aimed at bringing skiing to thousands of students.

ach their positions with the ic philosophy that 'their 1ools will survive, and proceed )m there. When asked what qualities he would like to see in the new · -.,t of Salve Sister replied .t ideally she would like 'to see nun in the position for 'two ·tinent reasons. Firstly, the!Sident presents 'the image of • college, and a sister would :t present the philosophical tvictions of a college which is msored by a religious commity. Secondly, Sr. Christo.~r would like to see a woman the position as an affirmation (Continued on Page 4)
