Student Last year more than 115,000 U. S. students spent their sum niers out of the country. This year the jiumber is expected to increase even more. Carolina students who have toyed with the idea of spending their summers abroard may find their long - awaited chance this year. However, the time to start planning and quit dreaming is now. Expenses Money, of course, is a vital ne cessity; especially if the USQ stu dent plans to return home again. Students p 1 a n n i n g to travel abroad this year will probably need anywhere from $800 to $1,700 to be assured of a pleasant trip and a happy return. A wise first step in planning such a trip would be to consult the council on Student Travel's annual booklet "Students Abroad." It is a comprehensive listing of, travel and study possibilities for American students. This valuable little booklet also contains a fountainhead of facts and figures. Tours Perhaps the m o s t popular method of touring abroad is via a network of tours. They come in all sizes and types, go almost anywhere and are sponsored by nundreds of commercial and non commercial organizations. On the non-commercial side, the U. S. National Student Associa tion conducts student groups on NE (deonma" 6 JOIN YOU FOR A COF OR FOR A S1 AT THE OPEN END For 20th_Century_Iin new DRLEAM DIA For love's sake any girl wol engagemen t ring - squat-loo heart, she hopes (or an e> compel the admiration of all Art Carved Dream Diamond I fling the excessive metal and they delight the modern eye. lured, they express the taste< Keep this ad for comnparison Art Carved jeweler before yoi free illustrated folder write tc 45th Street, New York, N.

USNSA also maintains an information and counseling serv ice for student travelers and pub lishes a handbook, "Work, Study, Trivel Abroad" that outlines pro grams of every type. The most popular type of stu dent tour is to travel in a coeduca tional group of about 25 on a stu (lent ship or flight. If it's a ship, it will probably offer lively semi nars, language refresher courses and valuable briefings on the countries included in the itin erary. If it is a USNSA tour, the stu dent is met at each of the coun. tries visited by a foreign student guide who will accompany him throughout the foreign country. The special advantages of trav. eling via a tour is the assurance of guidance, companionship, a planned diversity of interesting activities, a chance to sample a number of countries and meet other young people. Family Programs Another interesting way of see ing a foreign country first hant is the "Live-With-a-Family" pro grams. The biggest, best-known and the pioneer in this field is The Experiment In International Liv ing with headquarters in Putney Vermont. This year some 1.800 student. will spend the summer with foreigr frmilies in 37 countries. France Germany and Italy are the mos VA R FRIENDS :FEE BREAK FEAK SUPPER OF THE HORSESHOE dividualists!

This eek's selection is cntitlcd "China's First Private Teacher and His Ideas in Learning and Superior 31an." K'ung Tzu, known in the West as Confucius, was born in 551 B.C. in eastern China. His ances tors descended from the royal house of Shang. Because of politi cal troubles, the family, before the birth of Confucius, had lost its noble position. le was poor in his youth; however, by the time he was fifty he had reached high official rank. As a result of poli trical intrigue, he was soon forced to resign his post and go into ex ile. For the next thirteen years he traveled from one state to an other giving private teaching. He wias a very influential teacher. Many of his students became fam ous thinkers and scholars. His ideas are best known through the Lun Yu or Confucian Analects, a collection of his scattered say ings which was compiled. Here are some extracts of his discourses and dialogues with his disciples of his ideas on learning and superior man. "Learning without thought is labor lost, thought without Icarn ing is perilous." "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and ap plication ?" "Learn as if you could not reach your object, and were always fearing also lest you should lose it." Sze-ma Hiu asked about the su perior man. The Master said, 'The superior man has neither anxiety nor fear.'' "Heing without anxiety or fear!" said Niu-"does this con stit ute what we call the superior man?'' The Master said, "When in te'rnal examination discovers noth ing wrong, what is there to be anxious about, what is there to fea r?"

"The superior man is affabl but not adulatory; the mean ma is arulatory, but not affable." "The superior man is easy t serve and difficult to please. I you try to please him in any wa which is not accordant with righi he will not be pleased. But in hi employment of men, he uses ther according to their capacity. Th mean man is difficult to serve, an easy to please. If you try t please him, though it be in a wa which is not accordant with righ he may be pleased. But in hi employment of men, he wishe them to be equal to everything. "The superior man has a dign fied ease without pride. The mea man has pride without a dignifie ease." "The superior man is modest i his speech but exceeds in his a< tions." "The way of the superior ma is threefold, but I am not equi to it.

Moreover, qualified t students are eligible for noninter est loans. Formal Study Programs Many European Universities of fer special summer courses planned for foreign students - some in English, some half-and half. The subjects range from painting and drawing to m o d e r n history courses. Many of the courses are brief enough to leave time for travel as well-or include travel in the program. One such trip sponsored by the U. S. National Student As sociation takes students to Flor ence for an art course. The stu 3 dent will live in a Florentine villa during the course, tour other cities a on weekends. The USNSA also f effers travel-and-study field trips to Latin America and throughout ;, the Common Market Community s for politico-economic studies. ! Probably the best source of in e formation on overseas programs is the Institute of International o Education's b o o k I e t , "Summer y Study Abroad." Or if interested in the overseas programs spon s sored by American colleges, the s information can be found in "Work, Study, Travel, Abroad." Housing n Costs depend upon the locality d and whether the student choses a hotel, boarding house or private n family as his residence while at school. Typical estimates range from $750 to $1,200 including tui n tion. Chances for summer scholar il ships are few. n If truly interested the Caro n lina student can choose from n many possibilities for foreign travel.
