Highlights included spending the Fourth of July at the American Em— bassy in Moscow, attending the Kirov Theater in Leningrad, and meeting the mayor and other city officials in Murmansk. “The mayor of Murmansk met us with flowers," she said. “We were taken on all kinds of tours in the city — to a kindergarten, to a fishing ship and pack— ing plant, and to what they call a “pioneer palace” where arts and crafts are taught on a large scale to “pioneers,” who are like our scouts.” Dr. Munoz said there were no rules im— posed on them and they were allowed to move about as freely as they wanted. “Everyone was extremely friendly,” she said. “The exchange of gifts was incredi— ble. They had lots of gifts for us, and we had a lot of gifts for them. “Some people on the tour had a real culture shock. They did not expect the openness of the people and were surpris ed at the incredible determination the Russians have shown in rebuilding their country after World War II." , ire, Lie Carol Miner Wins EVE Award Carol Miner, dean of the open campus, displays the prestigious EVE Award for educa- tion that she won this June.
