Ski resorts' business freezes
By JOHN HOLT
Collegian Staff Writer
Winter is the time of snow and cold when people stop
thinking about going skiing and instead; go out and do it
normally. This year has been an exception.
After an initial snowfall on Dec. 20 covered State
College with 1 1/2 inches of cold white fluff, the area
has seen only dustings of snow.
1
fO, :
f'll
The outlook for snow is bleak for the remainder of
this week. Though the northwest counties may receive
up to eight inches of snow in some spots, State College
apparently will not fare as well, receiving only a light
dusting to possibly an inch, said Fred Gadomski,
supervisor of the University weather station.
The weather later in the week will bring no better
news, with only the possibility of a light dusting late
Friday or early Saturday.
However, Central Pennsylvania is now in a pattern of
cold dry air, which will be cold enough to support man
made snow, Gadomski said.
Several Central Pennsylvania ski slopes and ski
stores said they'are coping as well as they can with the
no-snow situation.
Hidden VOley Ski Resort in Somerset has been
operating since Dec. 26 on man-made snow. It has a
limited coverage of four to eight inches on two to five
slopes, said Doug Lowry, resort ski manager.
Although Hidden Valley has been open from 9:30
a.m. to 10:30 p.m. since Dec. 26, it has had only a
moderate skier turnout, Lowry said.
Blue Knob Ski Resort in Claysburg is also feeling the
effects of minimal snowfall.
Blue Knob has only two slopes open with man-made
snow, although skiing is excellent on these slopes due to
a 26- to 36-inch base, Ski Manager Emery Musselman
said.
"With the warm weather, we decided to concentrate
on making snow on only two slopes, and as a result they
are in very good condition," Musselman said.
Last year Blue Knob opened the week after
Christmas, but this season it didn't open until after the
New Year. So far the turnout has been less than one
half of last year's, Musselman said.
Tussey Mountain could not be reached for comment
on slope conditions
Local ski retail stores said they are faring well, in
spite of the lack of snow. _
The Appalachian Outdoor House, 324 W. College
Ave., said sales of ski equipment are higher than last
year's for the months of October to December. Some of
the credit for the higher retail ski sales was attributed
to expectations by skiers of the predicted cold snowy
winter.
Another factor contributing to early increased sales
at the Outdoor House was its special buys on skis from
overstocked manufacturers, owner Geoff Brugler said.
He said sales have tapered off since Christmas.
"We're going to have a good year in spite of the lack
of snow,' Brugler said optimistically. "Had there been
snow, our business would be real good."
Business at The Ski Station, 107 McAllister St., is
definitely slower than in the past, owner David Fahr
enbach said. He said business flow was comparable to
last year's until Christmas, although equipment sales
are off now.
Foreign study programs described
By LAURA REHRMANN
Collegian Staff Writer
The Office of Foreign Studies is trying to internationa
lize the campus through its study abroad programs, said
the assistant to the director of Foreign Studies.
Michael Laubsher said students who visit a foreign
country gain new perspectives. When the students return
and share their ideas, : the University is affected indirectly
by the students' international experience.
Laubsher described opportunities to study abroad in a
program Monday night sponsored by the Business and
Society, International Language, and International Cul
tures interest houses.
The University offers group study abroad programs in
England, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Peru, Israel,
Kenya and Taiwan. Programs in affiliation with other
institutions are also offered in the Soviet Union, Germany
and Italy
The many courses offered include business, education,
architecture, political science, languages and mass com
munications. Students can also fulfill language, social
sciences or humanities requirements when they study
abroad.
If none of the group programs offered at Penn State
satisfies a student's needs, the Office of Foreign Studies
can help locate a program in another school that will,
Laubsher said. Students can then take a leave of absence
from the University and study abroad independently.
Laubsher listed several advantages to studying abroad
in a Penn State program
First, students remain registered at Penn State while
they are abroad so they do not have to transfer credits and
they can continue to receive student aid.
Also, tuition charges for studying abroad are the same
as, for University Park Campus.

Room and board charges are also comparable to Uni
versity Park campus, depending on which program a
student is enrolled in, Laubsher said. For example,
housing is more expensive in Tel Aviv, Israel, but in
Taiwan students pay less.
Depending on the program, students can live in dormito
ries, apartments or with families while abroad. In Tai
wan, students live in dormitories with seven to eight
students per room and sleep on beds made of bamboo
mats, Laubsher said
"It takes time to adjust," he said, but "I have heard
nothing but praise" for the Taiwan program.
All programs have been revised because of the switch to
the semester system, but "generally no drastic changes"
were involved, Laubsher said. Most changes were needed
in raising the number of credits for the programs.
The semester system will work much better for the
study abroad program than the term system, Laubsher
said, because there will be more time for students to
become immersed in the country's culture and become
fluent in the language.
"Many foreign language students were just feeling_
comfortable with the language by the 10th week," he said.
Also, the courses will be "less intensive" because they
will not be crammed into 10 weeks.
One disadvantage of the calendar change is the fact that
students will spend a proportionally larger amount of their
undergraduate career away from the University. It will be
more difficult for students in tight curriculums, such as
engineering, to study abroad.
A second drawback to semesters is that there will be
fewer opportunities for students to take the courses that
are prerequisites for their program, Laubsher said. Some
of the prerequisites may need to be revised.
Between 200 and 300 students participate in the foreign
studies program each year.
