FOLIES BERGERE TO WAIKIKI:
Europe, Hawaii, Japan Beckon Summer Tourists

By ARLENE BELL
An evening at the Folies Ber-
gere, surf-riding at Waikiki Beach,
a trip to the rebuilt city of Hiro-
shima-any of these and many
other interesting attractions are
included in the foreign tours of-
fered to students this year.
These tours are being sponsored
by STOP, Student Travel Over-
seas Programs, and include trips
to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, Japan,
and South America. Some of the
tours offer the opportunity to
study at foreign universities.
ONE OF THE most extensive
trips is the 55-day all-expense
tour covering nine European coun-
tries and costing from $925 to
$1150. Named "Operation Golden
Bear No. 3," this tour includes
France, Italy, Switzerland, Aus-
tria, Germany, Spain, Belgium,
Luxembourg and England.
The price of the tour includes
trans-Atlantic flights, hotel ac-
commodations, all meals in
Europe, sightseeing, tickets to
special events, transportation in
Europe and tips and taxes as
part of the group bill.
Scenic and historic attractions
on the itinerary include Bucking-
ham Palace, St. James' Palace,
Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's,
Houses of Parliament, and the
Tower of London, in England.
There are visits to see the lace-
making industry in Belgium, and
the site of the Battle of Waterloo.
IN GERMANY, there are trips
,to Heidelberg castle and univer-
sity, the medieval walled city of
Rothenburg, the German museum
and Academy of Music in Munich.
A tour through the Austrian Ty-
rol follows, then on to Switzer-
land, where water sports and
mountain walks are on the agenda.
An evening of singing and
dancing to Swiss accordians
5,000 feet up Mt. Speer near
Zurich climaxes the Swiss part
of the journey, then the tour
continues to Italy. First stop is
the industrial city of Milan,
then the canal city of Venice,
where stops are made at St.
Mark's cathedral, the Palace of
the Doges, concluding with a
gondola ride on the Grand
Canal.
In Florence, birthplace of the
Renaissance, there are sightseeing
trips to the Uffizi Gallery, Pitti
Palace, Medici Chapel and Ponte
Vecchio.
* * *
THREE DAYS are spent In
Rome, inspecting St. Peter's, the
Vatican, forum, coliseum, St.
Paul's, the catacombs and an eve-
ning at the outdoor opera. Short
Group To Sponsor
Trip to Palestine
A $900 all-expense trip to Pales-
tine with stops in Europe is plan-
ned by the Israel Summer Insti-
tute.
Offering tours of the land from
Galilee to the Negev in connection
with work at an agricultural set-
tlement and study and lecture
courses, the trip is open to students
and teachers.
Sponsored annually by the Jew-
ish Agency for Palestine, the non-
profit project is planned to bring
Americans into close contact with
the land and the people of Israel.
The trip will be conducted during
July and August.
For complete details write to
the Israel Summer Institute of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine, 16
East 66th Street, New York, 21,
New York.

TOUR STOPOVER-Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, is located on the river Limmat, the lake of
Zurich and in view of the snow-capped Alps. It is one of the stops on "Operation Golden Bear
No. 3," 55-day all expense tour of Europe.

Lisle Gives
New Insight
To Tourists
Working in the fields, servicing
cars in a gas station, attending
church socials, all this and more
can be part of a student's trip to
Europe.
The best answer to the would-
be traveler who wants to "meet
the people" lies in the Lisle Fel-
lowship. Established by Univer-
sity Director of Lane Hall DeWitt
Baldwin, these fellowships provide
a real opportunity to find out
what makes a foreign country
tick.
EVERY summer, Lisle organizes
small groups of forty men and
women, mostly upperclassmen and
graduate students, which are call-
ed units. This summer, Lisle will
have units in California, Colo-
rado and Asia.
Most appealing to Europe-
minded students, however, is a
five-week program at South
Sjaelland, Denmark. The pro-
gram begins July 4 and ends
August 10, excluding travel time.
Working from the simple idea
that one can understand a person
best by working and living with
him on an intercultural, interra-
cial and interreligious basis, mem-
bers are purposely selected from
widely diverse backgrounds.
AFTER arriving in Denmark,
this variegated group lives in pri-
vate homes. For three days a
week, they are with the people-
perhaps doing police social work
or aiding in education of the
mentally handicapped.
Then the unit forms again to
report on their experiences, swap
ideas and help each other with
problems. Next, they divide in-
to small groups again to play a
new role in the community.
But life is not all work and no
play for the Lisle travelers. They
take time out for sightseeing,
sports and parties.
Lisle does not pay the full shot
on expenses for the travelers.
When making out applications,
students indicate their ability to
contribute to the common fund.
However, the Fellowship empha-
sizes no one should fail to apply
for financial reasons.
Applications for the Denmark
Fellowships will be accepted until
the middle of June. Information
about this or other Lisle units may
be obtained from DeWitt Baldwin
at Lane Hall.

SENORiT AS, SAMBAS, STUDY:

'South of the Border' Tours Offered

The land of sambas and senor-
itas is beckoning to students with
a yen to travel and a free summer.
Two tours "south of the border"

just see the sights. Information

The entire tour is designed to
accomplish two ends. For the stu-
dent who will get to Europe only
once in his life, it hits the high
spots of Europe's cultural and his-
torical background. The student
who wants to see more of Europe
at a later date will get an overall
outlook which will help him decide
which part of the continent he
would like to revisit.

A TRIP to the sunny beaches
of Hawaii is offered exclusively
for the women.
One requirement is that all
members of the tour attend

bers. Officers of the armed ser-
