USC Coed Visited Europe By LOREffA PLOfT Special Writer With summer fast approach ing many students are turning their thoughts to vacations and vacation plans. If, by some chance, you are one of many thinking tubout making a Eu ropean tour, talking to a student who has already made the trip will definitely help you decide to go. That is, if you talk to someone as enthusiastic about their trip as Carolyn Sawyer, a senior in education, is about hers. Athens, Greece, was her first stopping place and the country captivated her interest so com pletely she stayed there for seven weeks. The Island of Hydra, where the movie "A Boy on a Dolphin" was filmed, the National Theater at Epidaucus, and the Royal Greek Air Force Base were some of the interest points she visited. When asked if the Greek Air Base was simi-liar to those in the United States she said she thought they were quite different. The average pay for an airman is $200 a month. They have only one uniform used for work and dress. Turkish Mosque In visiting the houses of wor ship of the different religious faiths a Turkish Mosque fascin ated her the most. All worshipers had to cleanse their hands and feet before entering the Mosque; but tourists who, according to Carolyn, were rather reluctant to shed their foot wear, were given leather slippers to wear over their shoes. Carolyn described Rome as a city of fountains and, like other tourists, following the traditional legend of the Trevia Fountain, threw a coin into the fountain hoping to return someday. Weisboden, German, once the favorite resort of German roy alty, was a town of sidewalk cafes and flowers. Traffic Problem B .i c y c I e s, not automobiles, proved the traffic problem in Holland. The Queen had begun bicycling and all the natives fol lowing her example took up the pastime. England, Scotland, Belgium and France were scheduled on last half of Carolyn's tour. She visited London's Big Ben, West minster Abbey and Piccadilly Circus. Even the double decker buses proved quite *a source of interest. After a visit to Scotland for a music festival1 of color, bag pipes, keilts, and gaiety, there was then a tour through the World's Fair at Brussels. Tour Highlight The fair proved the highlight of .the tour. Russ-ia's streamlined display and America-s expression of casual life. All in all, says Carolyn, the tour was entertaining, enlighten ing, andl edlucational . . . a trip every student should try to make .soon-as soon as possible!

A pouch of crisp straw may just save the day for a girl who wants a summer bag as practical and fu.ll of fashion as her best win,ter standby. With or without Straw Pouch trim and in the color best suited for her outfit, the pouch can be worn with almost any daytime costume-casual or dress. Another well-loved shape is the horizontally long, v e r t i c a 11 y short, rectangular bag. This may be had in practically any color and fabric, and is most popular with the tall girl. It is considered a daytime bag as its size prohibits its effectiveness of coordination with evening dress.

As for evening wear, the clutch bag or a fussy little straw is considered apropos as each is small 'and therefore more formal. Linen, cobble straw, or shantung are suitable fabrics and lend themselves to dressy costumes more readily than do bigger weaves and larger shapes. Campus togs are the back ground for sporty straws such as the round, flat wheel, the wicker basket, the deep bucket, and the roomy, ever-popular satchel.

Novelty Bags Summer, of course, is the sea son in which novelty bags come to the forefront in the fashion world. In what other season could one carry a handbag of clear plastic-covered cocoanut straw shaped like a bongo drum, or a delta suede of multi-colored patches shaped like a nosebag? Fabrics are varied in the sum mer as in no other season printed flower hopsacking (some times called burlap), large weave raffia straw, delta suede, calico, clear plastic over gros grain r i b'bo n and artificial daisies, and even tapeistry.
