Maureen Fleming Page 3 The Northern Road The Alaskan Highway is the ultimate challenge for any non-4-wheel drive vehicle. The 1,500-mile mostly un- paved road through the Canadian Rockies can be a nightmare for a well-worn tire. But for the passenger, this highway is the only way to drive directly to Alaska. And the scenery isn't bad along the way, either. Shawn Moran Page 5 (Continued from Page 9) Flagstaff has the feeling of an old town once at the center of the mining boom that now caters largely to tourists and skiers. The Canyon lies about 80 miles northwest. ONE DAY we rent a car along with other hostellers from Austria and Australia and drive to the Canyon, which is really impossible to describe. Safe to say that it reduces one's per- spective to that of an ant. It is huge, awesome, and incredibly beautiful. On our night bus to the Coast, we har- dly sleep at all-such is the restlessness of the passengers. At one point we stop to change drivers, and the man sitting next to Carolyn asks if it's California yet, then clambers off the bus and nearly kisses a palm tree as he yells, "This is it, man!" In San Diego the temperature is in the 70s-we dash for the bus station restroom to strip off our long johns. We stay with Carolyn's friend a few days and see some of the city's attractions: Svenson's ice cream; Balboa Park, home of the famous San Diego Zoo; the beaches, which are accessible by bus; and range from elegant (La Jolla) to hippy/surf culture (Pt. Loma and others). The water is freezing, though. Lee Fleming By the time we say goodbye to "Fun" Diego we are tanned and freckled. The ride up north is spectacular, since we go through dry country to incredibly lush, hilly land. At San Francico we debark the bus for the States inexp natur perien leasto Students Dig English countryside Wroxeter, England is the site of an ongoing archaeo- logical dig that has lasted for nearly four decades. A University student stays at a very proper English boy's school near Wroxeter, learns how to make tea, and un- covers part of the macellum (meat market) of ancient Wroxeter, which in turn, covers a Roman fortress. Page 7 On the Gringo Trail The Gringo Trail is traversed by hundreds of college students each year. It runs through the Yucatan Peninsula in the Mexican Caribbean. A trip along the trail combines a chance to learn of ancient civilizations with the oppor- tunity to bargain-shop in Mexican villages, stroll along beautiful, sandy beaches, and sample Mexican transpor- tation.

It's hard to imagine a more classic, timeless article of clothing than the Southwick blazer. It's been a standard of constant correctness for gener- ations. Not to say there haven't been innovations. In fact, today the South- wick blazer is available in a variety of solid colors as well as fabrics such as lightweight worsted, hopsack and 3-ply blends. But only in a relatively limited number of stores. We're one of those stores. It's a tradition among gentle- men we're proud to carry on. a1. A - .~'State St. at the Arcade Rolling slowly westward - the 36-hour ride A bus carries two people westward, offering them a look at America through bus station culture, inexpensive cafes, and remarkable natural landscapes-also, a chan- ce to overhear countless unique conversations. Maureen Fleming Page 101 By ELLEN DREYER The Greyhound Ameripass is available at the bus depot at Huron and Main Streets and costs $159.60 for seven days, $208.85 for 15 days, and $348.10 for 30 days. Each additional day added on to the pass costs $10.70. The Ameripass is good on all Greyhound routes across the United States for unlimited travel while it is valid. If a Greyhound bus does not go to the desired destination, very often a Continental Trailways will; and the Ameripass can be used in this case as long as it is validated by a Greyhound ticket agent. There is departure time information, where to make connections, and useful maps depicting the Greyhound network across the entire country at the Ann Arbor depot. It is advisable to buy the Ameripass in advance, since there can be delays. Inexpensive accommodations are hard to come by, but they DO exist-it just takes some effort to find them. Youth Hostels are the least expensive places, offering bunk beds in common sleeping rooms (like dorms) for $3 to $6 a night. Membership to the American Youth Hostels is approximately $15 a year, which entitles members to lower hostel fees and a subscription to the monthly Michigan AYH newsletter. Hostel Car- ds are available at the International Center at the University. A handbook listing all the U.S. hostels, plus lots of handy information for hostellers is given along with the card. A summer on N. Manitou North Manitou is suffering a severe deer over- population problem. The National Parks Service has fun- ded a deer management study on the northern Lake Michigan island. Dave and Jane Case spend a summer in this isolated, lovely region, collecting deer population statistics for a combination deer management proposal and master's thesis in wildlife management.

He talks with a taxi driver who smokes pot as he drives his cab and listens to a retired foreman's "checkerboard" theory on New Orleans neigh- borhood socio-economic divisions. ON THE CORNER OF S.
