it J J 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. fIousing Is Not Living 13y JEAN SPENCER HOUSIGC-University, off-cam- viously.

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.

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. ibrari&nes Serve I .Y - -.M Basement of Michigan Pharmacy 727 N.

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- parable number of new acquisi- VISIT US5 FOR ALL YOUR NEEDED ACCESSORIES L1II 0 DRESSER SCARFS 'I1*11 1 R BATES BEDSPREADS & DRAPES } LAUNDRY AND ShOE BAGS * BLANKETS tions by the General Library. The 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 teaching, Prof. Wagman did not add, as he nign nave,tn at a good library system is a necessary adjunct to both, Records DISC SHOP 1210 S.
