If you’re not wrecked bj the end of finals, and happen tc have seven friends in a receptive mood, one of whom owns a car, this opportunity is looking you strighl in the eye. Assuming that a positive deci sion has been reached by you anc your chums, the skis are piled or some poor guy’s car, the eight oi you pile in and the process of gaso line consumption begins. Twenty-three hours, forty-five dollars, and nine cartons of cigar ettes later your little band decides to avoid considerable delay by de touring Pendleton—a town known •for roundups. On arriving at the resort your first problem is to find some sturdy lodge about 100 yards from the base of the ski tows, with accom modations ready for eight at a low price. The next morning silent thanks are given to the gentleman who took a twenty-dollar bribe and se cured for you a two-room shack, seventeen miles from nowhere. Thus situated, your gang settles down to doing what they came tor —skiing. The weather is glorious and your future is bright until on Thursday when someone happens to he shaking the snow from his wallet and notices a definite lack of currency therein. That evening back at the shack the sum total conies to much less than enough to gel you home.
