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!

T,he find of the summer: a
straw handbag with city manners

A pouch of crisp straw may
just save the day for a girl who
wants a summer bag as practical

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.

nost versatile for daytime en
sembles, as far as shape (and for
that matter, size) is concerned
anything goes.
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.
Found plain or with a variety of

trims-a riot of flowers or arti

or even fishnet covered with
Roman coins-these handbags
lend -themselves to casual or
sporty costumes.
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.
In this riot of fabrics and
bright hues, the bags of glace
