We will be holding elections soon for next year's officers. We're looking for new faces and motivated people to become involved in the club. If you are interested in leading trips and you specialize in one or many of the Outing Club areas please see Michelle Weber at the first big meeting or call 5-3131. The University of Massachusetts Outing Club is a registered student organization of long standing. Among its active membership it can boast undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and alumni.
Activities go on throughout the school year, and to a lesser extent during the summer.
The club owns an impressive array of equipment available for club trips, including canoes, kayaks, skis, sleeping bags, portable stoves, ice-climbing gear, rock climbing gear, caving gear, and wet suits for canoeing. It also owns a cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, which is a great jumping-off point for outdoor activities up there, including hiking and skiing. The bulletin board is located on the wall next to the Student Union Ballroom. Sign-up sheets for trips go onto the bulletin board after the Monday meetings. By the time the pre-trip meeting comes around, many people have dropped out of the trip.
