The people make use of many beautiful parks and stay out ht«* in the evenings because the weather is so cool then. Due to th*- f' rrific heat during the day, the Mores close between one and four-thirty but remain open until mm in the evening. The hoU]-, Madrid are very Modern and inexpensive, according to our i-tan-l nd-, it was fun to shop in th- > a and there were many .shops featuring leather goods and handmade jew elry from Toledo.

While in Madrid Miss Smith attended a bullfight at the largest bullring in the world. After Madrid, Miss Sm ith and six others travelled on to Paris, France. Everyone had heard so much about Paris that the city did not seem strange at all1. .Since the group only had two days in Paris they did not get to see much, but they did attend the “Follies” which are as good as any of our musicals. Miss Smith continued on to Geneva, Switzerland with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schweizer, owners of the aircraft plant ia Elmira, and Paul Schweizer, another pilot in the glider meet. After four days in Geneva, Miss Smith continued along to Basel for three days of sightseeing.

Mr. Chan davimol and Mr. Attagara will continue to visit school's and col leges as w e ll as various publishing houses. Participation System Is Different This Year This year a new system of sophomore participation will be come effective. The basic idea will be to provide an opportunity for students to get acquainted with the various children in the Campus School classrooms and to help them become fam iliar with the children’s interests, how they learn, their abilities, capacities, and es pecially their individual needs. This participation will not only enrich the student’s experience, but better prepare him for his eventual teaching. It will also make education in the classroom more meaningful and will aid the student as he plans for the future. Participation as such will' not start for approximately two weeks. Details concerning such items as the number of days of participa tion per week, the length of the participation period, the choice of grade levels, and the number of students assigned to one grade at a tim e w ill be forthcoming at a later date. Identification Cards To Be Issued Soon Pictures of each student were taken this past w eek so that every student would be provided with an official college identification card. The card is wallet size and con tains the student’s picture, name, Geneseo address and the phone number, and a place for his own personal signature to be done in ink. The main reason why these cards are being issued is to insure the proper use of the College Center by college students. The students are paying for the Center and its maintenance and these cards will guarantee them all the Center’s benefits which might be denied if careless use by outsid ers persists. The card m u st be shown as identification on demand of any faculty or student officials at the Center and at any other college function. The cards m u st also be shown when college property is borrowed for use in such things at teas and plays. This is quite a common practice at many of the colleges in the country and it will provide iden tification. for students here at school as well as out of town. In case the card is lost, the student should report the loss im mediately to Dr. Gerald Saddle- mire, Dean of Students. If the card is not recovered, the student may purchase a new one for the fee of 50 cents.
