European photo tour offers six units of credit
Election fills vacancies on ASG spring council
Six units of college credits will be granted students who participate in the 1972 Foreign Study League European Photography-Culture tour this summer, according to Justus Ahrend, photography instructor who is counselor for the North County travel group. "Originally we were granting three photography credits," A hrend said, "but the past two summer tours were so successful and the students learned so much in addition to their photography assignments, that it was decided that three additional units were well justified." Ahrend and his wife will accompany the students as counselors for the third consecutive year. The 42-day all-expenses-included tour this year will begin July 6 by jetliner departure from Los Angeles for five days in Paris before leaving for Italy, with stops in Rome and Florence. During an eight-day stay in northeastern Switzerland, the group will make side trips to Lichtenstein, Austria and Germany. Next on the itinerary will be a week in Weisbaden, Germany, with visits to Frankfort, Heidelberg, Trier and the Rhine Valley castle country. The tour will then take the students by hovercraft or ferry across the English Channel for a nine-day stay in London. A number of side trips and attendance at a West End musical are planned for the London stay. "Added attractions for this year are being confirmed daily," A hrend said. "Henri Cartier Bresson, noted French photographer, will be a guest lecturer while the class is in Paris. In Switzerland, the noted Swiss photographer Emil Schul tess mas promised to meet with the photography-oriented group. Other noted photographers have been contacted and names will be announced later. Ahrena saiO, "Anyone who is thinking of going to Europe this summer and is interested in photography should get in touch with me at once. The low fee allexpense tour is unique, and offers a rare opportunity to travel, to learn photography, and to earn college credits, all in one package. The best time to contact me is weekday evenings at my home in Vista."

Sea experiences told by explorer
Runner-up Steve Miller would have been the most likely choice for the job had he not been appointed to the vacant vice-presidency. Because of this situation, the executive council voted Gilbert Hermosillo into Men's Select and named Michael Loutzenhiser into Miller's seat in the assembly.
