The quality of education is excellent. (For infor mation about junior colleges, write the American Association of Junior Colleges, 1777 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washing ton, D.C. 20036.) Along these same lines state universities are establishing re gional campuses, these to accommodate live-at-home students during the first two years, followed by transfer, if wanted.

22 THE CRESCENT OF GAMMA PHI BETA / MARCH � 1966 Is Camping Just for KidcJies? Not by a Lot

Of course, camp is for the kiddies. More than 300 little girls from 8 to 10 years of age frolic at the Gamma Phi Beta summer camps each year. They learn, they love and they grow. But, so do we. We adults, from 18 to 80, feel the glow of pride in accomplish ment. And, having experienced it ourselves, we're apt to encourage our daughters to discover for themselves the joys we first encountered years ago. In 1938 Virginia Arnold Auld, Alpha Delta at the University of Missouri, served as a camp counselor for Gamma Phi Beta. Her experiences were fun-filled and meaningful and the years did not dim the memories. Last year her daughter Carolyn Crail, Beta Upsilon at Kansas State University, counseled youngsters at the enlarged camping facilities in Colorado. Not only as mother and daughter, but as sisters, their shared experiences enhance their family and fraternal lives. Proving further that our camping projects encompass the lives of more than the small fry, Mrs. Beth Robertson was awarded the coveted Dosh Stafford Ring award for the second time. This award is made annually to a Gamma Phi Beta Virginia Arnold Auld, left, who has made an outstanding contribution to the Sechelt Camp in Vancouver, and daughter, Carolyn Crall. British Columbia and this is the first time any member has been honored for a second term. It was through Beth's constant vigilance and drive that our Canadian camp now boasts a new lodge. There is something each of us can do to help make our camps more special next summer. At the end of each camping session we celebrate Christmas in July ... a project that will take little of your time and money and will mean much to these children who have so little. Toys, puppets, clothes, hair bands, dolls are all welcome gifts. There is always need for nighties, shirts, combs, slippers, toothbrushes, shampoo and personal accessories. Send gifts for our Vancouver camp (value less than $10.00 for customs) to Mrs. J. D. Taggert, 4561 Beverely Crescent, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Gifts for the Colorado campers should be mailed to Mrs. Robert A. Byerly, 45 Hillside Drive, Denver, Colorado 80215. We are always eager to hear from our collegiate members who are willing to contribute their skills to those less fortunate. Won't fill in one of Beth Robertson helping you the three application blanks in this issue? You, too, will learn that camping is not just for kiddies. ]) D ])
