Adventures in Austria: Surrender
Peter J. Baugher Staff Writer I knew Austria would be challenging because while you have your friends with you, the challenges are similar to the struggles of freshman year.

Adventures in Austria: The Kartause; on beauty
By Peter Baugher Austria Correspondent “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things” (Philippines 4:8).
