AHJ, Vol. 5 No. 3, Summer 1976

PRIVATE CAR: North-South Interstate 40 and East­
West Interstate 25 intersect close to the campus. Both
the Central Avenue exit and the Grand Avenue exit indicate
the direction on the campus (east of the Interstate).
The University of New Mexico requires all cars
to have parking permits and one will be issued to you if
you state that you will be driving. Parking violations can
be expensive.
JEMEZ MOUNTAIN TRIP
Some of New Mexico's most interesting scenery is
within a short day's trip north and west of Albuquerque.
The bus trip will depart from in front of the Fine Arts
Center. A Chamber of Commerce "Kachina Greeter"
will be on each bus to answer questions. The first stop
will be the Coronado State Monument, a look into the
past. This area will also afford views of the Sandia,
Manzana, and Sangre Cristo mountains, the Rio Grande
valley, and Albuquerque. We continue into the Jemez
Mountains driving along the Jemez River. Several
Indian pueblos will be seen during the trip. Lunch will
be served out-of-doors at Hummingbird Music Camp.
The food will be prepared by the camp staff and ladies
of the Jemez Pueblo and will be of Spanish-Indian
variety. Alice Lawson Aber has prepared a most interesting
talk for after lunch. Be sure to wear comfortable
clothes and walking shoes, and bring a sweater.
ART MUSEUM
The Fine Arts Center (Upper Gallery) will display
paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs done in
New Mexico from 1880 to 1975 and Spanish Colonial
paintings in celebration of the Bicentennial. Hours
will be Tuesday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM, Sunday,
1 PM to 5 PM and Friday, June 25, 7:30 PM to
10 PM.
ALBUQUERQUE CIVIC LIGHT OPERA
The 1976 production of Music Man promises a
delightful evening. Popejoy Hall (Fine Arts Center)
seats about 2000 and is one of the finest concert halls
in the United States.
UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO
It is the largest of the state's publicly supported institutions
of higher education with 150 buildings and
600 acres. Its Fall 1975 student population was over
23,000. All buildings are air-conditioned and of a distinctive
pueblo-like architecture.
ALBUQUERQUE
Albuquerque was founded on the east bank of the Rio
Grande in 1706, 70 years before the American Revolution.
Today the little Spanish settlement has grown to a
city of 350,000. A blend of three cultures--Spanish
(Mexican), Indi~n and Anglo make it a unique place to
visit. There is something for everyone from the Sandia
Atomic Museum (at Kirkland Air Force Base) to "Old
Town" Albuquerque, home of the Church of San Felipe
de Ner, built in 1706; or ride on the Sandia Peak tram
to the crest at 10,678 ft. Art galleries, museums, and
Indian arts and crafts shops abound.
