OPINION Summer earnings College ·uses facilities wisely In the past few weeks on the Ithaca College campus, summer students and employees have seen highway superintendents, prom-going high school students, and a number of students from Spain. These three programs have nothing to do with Ithaca College, yet they have benefitted the school. It is not only educationally responsible of the College to offer their facilities during the summer, it is also economically advantageous. During a time of cost-containment and budget crunching, the College is able to offer its facilities and to profit from the venture. The College could all but close down in the summer, offering just a smat­ tering of courses and keeping THE ITHACAN'S VIEW only the most vital offices open. Closing down buildings could save on electricity and water costs. Instead, the summer is alive with youngsters and seniors alike. In addition to independent programs, the College offers its own summer options. Summer sports camps and i,rograms like the Suzuki Institute will keep the campus moving. Another summer program is geared toward seniors, who can live or re-live the College experience through different eyes. More intellectual pursuits-well, sort of - follow later this summer, as an International Humor Studies Conference comes to the school. It is refreshing to see the College offer students, young and old, a chance to experience new things. But it is reassuring to know the College can benefit from these programs. Hopefully, summer programs and special events will help alleviate any budgetary pressures the school currently faces. Hopefully, one good tum . will lead to another.

A weekend outdoors: Ithaca Festival 1994

Photos by Shelley Smith

Enjoying the warm summer weather, several hundred people swarmed the Ithaca Commons on June 3-4 to partake in food, festivities and fun. Booths sold everything from hats to barbecued chicken, and entertainers abounded. On June 5, the Festival moved to Stewart Park, where visitors were entertained by the sounds of the Tribulations, among others.
