Tour tickets are still available
for the Oberammergau play
More than 500,000 request for
tickets to the world- famed
Oberammergau Passion Play
scheduled next summer in
Germany have been turned down.
But Wilfred J. Airey, PhD, professor
of history, has the answer to the
dilemma of people who still
would like to see this
once- in- a- decade play.
Arrangements were made to
include the Oberammergau play, a
centuries- old dramatiziation of
the last days in the life of Christ,
as part of a 22- day conducted
tour which Dr. Airey plans next
June and July.
The Oberammergau stop is only
a highlight of a tour through seven
countries, " The Best of Northern
Europe," which can be made for
$ 777. The price includes sleeping
accommodations, three meals a
day, the cost of guides, entrance
fees, and all group expenses
except passports, visas,
inoculations, and personal
purchases. An alternate,
non- student group will take a
15- day tour for $ 666 which will
also include seven countries, " The
Best of Central Europe," but
which will not include the event
at Oberammergau.
College credit is available on the
22- day tour in bother lower
division ( History of Western
Civilization, 1500- 1815) and
upper division ( The Reformation)
courses, both of which carry three
semester hours.
The tours are timed to
commence just after the General
Conference of Seventh- day
Adventists session scheduled at
Atlantic City, New Jersey, June
11 to 20, so that delegates to that
session may join the tour directly
in New York on June 21.
