Tunisia: Blend of
France and Orient
By DAVID ERRERA
EAST BECOMES WEST, for in
Tunisia, land of perpetual
sunshine and waving palms against
blue skies, one may literally find a
satisfying blend of the oriental
exotic, combined with a truly
French flavor.
Just a few flying hours from any
European capital gives the tourist
a chance to see many unbelievably
interesting things. For Tunisia will
enthrall the visitor with its ar-
chaeological relics represting pre-
historic times through the Car-
thaginian period, followed by the
Roman and Byzantine, on through
the Islamic, Judaic and Christian
periods of history,
ARCHAEOLOGICAL sites, with
tir almosta nfantastically
priceless relics remain as they
were found, with very many of
these objects transferred to nearby
museums.
Remains, in ceramics, bronze,
glassware, coins of gold with
statues of terracotta, jewels, in-
cense, sarcophagi and baptisteries,
may be viewed, along with a won-
derfully varied assortment of other
pieces of past histories.
The permanent underearth re-
searches of Mahdi and Cap Bon,
led to discoveries of other priceless
objects. Here are Roman villas,
fortifications, ramparts, aqueducts,
bridges, amphitheatres, tombs and
basilicas, fortresses and memories
of great civilizations gone past, yet
unforgotten in this land that holds
them fast.
HE SPORTSMAN will be happy
to discover many types of game
and can hunt the gazelle in the
mountains, while hare and par-
tridges are the main sport found
in Tunisia.
He may hunt the woodcock in
November to December or ducks,
which are very numerous, in winter
along the lakes. In the remote
parts of the small rivers, turtle
doves are found and also there are
quail that arrive in the spring.
All classical and regional meth-
ods of fishing are included in the
sport and bass, gilt-heads, lichen
and mullets with umbrines, skates,
mackerel and others are numbered
along with the large tuna for those
who like something more exciting.
This truly, is the veritable paradise
of the skin-diver and leaves noth-
ing whatever to be desired in this
respect.
THE LONG coastrlines which
sweep around for miles here
lend opportunity to make moon-
light drives and one may stop at
many a night club along the way
and listen to American swing
played by oriental orchestras.
Exotic eastern dances capture
the imagination too, and in this
compelling and fascinating atmos-
phere, one may lose all sense of
time and personal care. The
strange music wails on and on and
the characters one meets here
could very well be taken from some
scene associated with the Kasbah
not too far away in Algeria.
Modern automobiles, taxis, bus-
ses and trains expedite visits to
the interior of the country and
many tourist organizations con-
trolled by Syndicat d'Initiative
give full information and advice to
visitors. This, incidentally, is the
headquarters of tourism for Tu-
nista.
"Drive Yourself" automobiles
are on hand too and may be ar-
ranged for hire through three
companies, namely Air France,
which caters to its own customers
or the Palace Garage and Tunisi-
enne Automobile.

Men have no hours; they also'
have the option of off - campus
housing after their first year on
campus as an alternative to either'
fraternity or more dormitory.
Women have hours; they must
provide adequate and just cause'
when they seek to live in apart-'
ments-usually economic or emo-
tional instability.
MOST STUDENTS' accept the
housing regulations with fresh-'
man curiosity fading into sopho-
more stoicism. They are among
the concessions in the area of per-
sonal freedom which the Univer-
sity has the right to exact.
For the student who questions
whether the University should be
making this sort of regulation-
how this is reconciled with the in-
stitution's aims of intellectual de-
velopment - there are various
answers, some less satisfactory
than others.
Dormitory living can be an in-
formal contributor to the educa-
tion of those who participate.;
President Alexander Ruthven, in
announcing the birth of the Michi-
gan House Plan for residence halls,
wrote: ,
OPHE BOARD of Regents has in-
sisted . . that the houses
should be more than mere room-
ing and boarding houses. They
recognize that, broadly conceived,
education should include both
formal instruction in the business
of living and informal training in
the enrichment of personality. A
Michigan House Plan has been
developed which will give the stu-
dent experience in communal liv-
ing and assistance in expanding
his education into those areas
which must be cultivated if he is
to become a citizen of the world."
Whether these benefits - the-
oretical and practical - warrant
a rule that they be included for
each and every student is open to
question, of course.
I[E EUNIVERSITY'S distinction
between men and women can-
not be ethically construed, ob-
en in apartments would seem to
depreciate after she is 22 and a
graduate student. It has been
pointed out in the past that the
18-year-old white collar girl work-
ing in Ann Arbor is deemed more
capable and responsible than a
coed coeval.
CONTRARY TO established
myth, the Dean of Women's
office is generally considerate and
conscientious in handling of off-
the dormitory is fairly general.
The conviviality of living away
from home environments, possibly
for the first time, is natural. As
the year progresses, institution
quarters, food, time schedule and
social life grate on the sensitive.
The bare expedience which
limns administrative policy in the
dormitory routine is indifferent to
the individual and forces con-
formity. Turning away from this,

ISLAND PARK-Picnickers from the town or the University find
the banks of the Huron inviting in spring, summer and fall.
No longer as isolated and rural as formerly, the park still draws
many to have outdoor meals and sing around a fire far into the
crisp evening.
THE UGLI--Stepsister to the library system, the Undergraduate Library was finished two years
ago. The director of the library system says he's heard it referred to as "Disneyland" or "Fountaine-
bleaux," but the UGLI was designed to meet the special needs of the undergraduate, and to judge
by attendance is doing its job well.

last spring's tuition boost.
Prof. Wagman says some of the
system's budget increase will go
to complete the shelving at its
North Campus storage center for
less frequently used books. When
this is completed, Prof. Wagman
will be able to have about 30,000
books per year transferred into
storage to make room for a com-

stacks are now filled to optimum
capacity, he asserted; without the
new storage facilities, the library
would have to return to piling
books on the floors.
A8 TO long-range plans, Prof.
Wagman says the system "will
attempt to remain as flexible as
possible," and to continue "to
provide comprehensive collections
to support research in all fields
of interest here." He has some
ideas for consolidation of branch-
es and improvement of service
areas in the General Library -
added carrels, a document center
-but at present these are only in
the speculative stage.
On the whole, Prof. Wagman
says, "the same pressures are on
libraries as on the University."
Particularly important are chang-
ing emphases on research in
