But this week a welcome visitor to our campus was attractive Miss Mitsi Brewster, whose photo was featured in the hostel article in American magazine. Miss Brewster is now organizing a hostel loop around Atlanta and is seriously thinking of organizing one in the Piedmont section of South Caro lina if enough interest is shown. But just what is a Youth Hostel anyway, and what are the purposes of the movement? Answering the last question first the purposes are to give young Americans a chance to see interesting and picturesque parts of the country in a leisurely manner, either hiking or biking, at as small a cost as possible.

Though hostels have been estab lished in the Western European countries for over thirty years, the movement in this country is com paratively young. The first hostel was organized in 1934 in North field, Mass. Growth has been rapid since then, there being 209 hostels with over 11,000 passholders in this country. All Carolina students with an urge for the open road and a long ing to hit the hostel trail are asked to get in touch with Dr. Ed Clip pard of the English department, a veteran hosteler who has vacationed in Europe, in the American Rockies, and elsewhere where hostel loops have been established.
