PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1953 U 'U' Students To Vacation - f - Throughout World' * * * * - - Italy, Africa To Be Visited By Travelers By ROZ SHLIMOVITZ Via boat, plane, bike and thumb, determined and enthusiastic Uni- versity students will take advan- tage of a three-month vacation period to see more of the world. While Uncle Sam has refused to allow certain men of draft age out of the country, he has fostered the travel plans of NROTC stu- dents with his free compulsory cruises to Scotland, Norway and South America. ON THE OTHER hand, many ROTC camps will be in the states of Georgia, Texas, New Mexico and New Jersey. While the bulk of students in- tend to take the commercially sponsored college tours, others will spend the summer visiting relatives. Such is the case with Pieter Thomassen, '54, and Don McClel- land, '54, who will visit relatives in the Netherlands and Belgium. McClelland will also tour Scotland and England. * * * ALASKA, the "land of oppor-. . tunity," will be the destination of one of the Daily editors, Mike Wolff, '54, who will work in the Yukon this summer. Sandy Robertson, president of the Business Administration School senior class, will be a member of the Dr. Rancho New- berry Expedition to South Afri- ca. Explorations will take this group to Liberia and down the gold and ivory coast to Cape- town. Although Dorothy Myers, '55, claims she can't boil an egg, she still hopes to land a job as a cook on a liner cruising the Carribean. Another boat job on a freighter going to Bermuda has been off- ered Ed Smith '54. * * * AN EXPERIENCED - traveler, Mil Prayor,.'55, and his twin broth- er will hitchhike to Mexico where they hope to earn enough money to return to this country in a more leisurely fashion. Pryor has al- ready been to Europe twice. Cotton, Wool Dress Sets MakeDebut Matching Ensembles Will Aid Versatility To Summer Fashions By MARY TOWNE. Whatever the weather may be, a cheerful cotton dress with a matching sweater will come in handy. Gay print forms a border on the sweater and makes a match- ing ensemble. Short bat-wing shrugs are a bright contrast to the sleeveless cotton dress. These dresses are plain and simply-tailored. The prints all suggest a coolness that is not ex- pected this summer. For warm days the dress may be worn alone and for cool nights the sweater makes a handy addition. Many local stores dye sweaters to match colors that occur in the dresses. Cottons that go well with sweat- ers are sleeveless and have full skirts, and are as cool to look at as they are to wear. For formal wear there is nothing better than a tailored topper. These toppers have semi-full backs with long sleeves. The rage in toppers is pointing directly to a light, dainty coral. Coral contrasts well with the light pastel colors of blue, green, tan and white. The best colors for summer wear in toppers are pale pastels. These blend easily with any colored cot- ton dress. Sweaters are also worn with strapless dresses. When the sun goes down the time comes for women to don a sweater to keep them comfortable for cool nights. Shawls go well with cotton dressesand can be held securely by fastening a belt over them. If the weather is too warm they may be carried loosely on an arm. The newest thing for formal wear is a beaded sweater. Stores are showing a black cashmere sweater with tiny pearls stitched on the bands iii front with a tiny collar of pearls. The eternal triangle in the latest fashions is a triangular linen scarf trimmed with fur. It is featured in a light beige and pink. For a coat which fits nicely over a slim, straight-skirted cotton, the new, modern balloon jacket is de- signed. Quick-drying, Color-fast Materials To Improve Bathing Suit Fashions i --Daiy--Don Carnpe WHEELING ABROAD-Many students at the University will take their bicycles with them when they cross the Atlantic and tour such countries as Norway, Sweden and Belgium under a program designed for hostelers. In the above picture Bert Shapero, who will tour the continent, tries out his bike with Joan Karabelnick. Both active swimmers and coeds who "hang their clothes on a hickory limb but don't go near the water" will find a large selec- tion of bathing suits available irn local stores. Fashioned in a large variety of fabrics, most of the suits are priced to fit the budget of the college woman. NYLON ACETATE, which dries quickly and keeps its shape, is being widely used for swim suits. Available in a variety of pastel colors, one suit features contrast- ing stitching and convertible straps, making the suit adaptable for swimming or sunning. Cotton everglaze is another of the bathing suit manufacturers' most popular fabric choices. Following a fashion set last year, many of these suits are strapless, with scalloped necklines and boy shorts. "Step" shorts and bloomers are also featured on many of the "creations for mermaids." * * * ' MOVING BACK in history -to the early '20's, fashion designers have re-introduced the one-piece knitted wool bathing suits to the beaches. These creations, which may remind University coeds of "that favorite tank suit from elemen- tary swimming class," have rib- bed waistlines for figure flat- tery." Coeds will be garbed to brave the cold waves in true nautical fashion in a middy suit of lastex faille. The strapless suit is em- broidered, with deep-sea pockets and contrasting collar. ONE BATHING suit "sure to at- tract attention" is flamenco pink in color with polka-dots and a shirred bodice. Another in the same color is heart-topped, bloom- er-bottomed and embroidered. Many otherwise plain suits have been adorned with trim- ming, giving the "individual touch." Glazed cotton straw trim is fea- tured on one nylon-acetate-laton swimming creation. * * * THE QUESTION of "button, button, who's got the button" is readily solved by the coed wearing a halter-necked nylon maillot suit trimmed with bottons of decreas- ing sizes. Pearls and brilliants adorn another suit, fashioned in dress- maker style, which is* intended for use primarily by coeds seek- ing a sun tan and not for women attempting to break records in the Austrailian crawl. Embroidered wing* on the hip- line of an orlon boucle suit will enable women to become "social butterflies" on the beaches and at the swimming pools this summer. * * * HARKING BACK to Greecian styles, one suit featured nationally is "sculptured" with a full, per- manently knife-pleated skirt, cin- ched by a patent leather belt. This suit, too, is more appropriate for sunning than swimming. Coeds looking for suits that will be of very practical use will find combination playsuit-bath- ing suit fashions in the stores. These suits may be worn at the beaches or for back-yard sun- ning. Showing the army influence, suits in khaki-colored poplin with a regulation brass-buckled army belt may be worn for play or swimming. * * * BLACK RHINESTONES on white cotton, outlined in black em- broidery, are emphasized on a "Harlequin suit." Ribboned panels and formal pleats provide accents for other swim suits. Many of these have detachable skirts, which can be "whipped" on for dancing or discarded for a plunge into the sea. But the "Bikini" suit, which gained "brief" favor after World War II, will no longer be seen at Handkerchiefs The handy handkerchief, say fashion experts, is a faithful square of fabric that will fill al- most any need as well as add a fashionable note to costumes. Dur- ing warm summer days they re- commend a ponytail be tied up with a crisp, colored handkerchief. If the hair is worn, short, hold it in place with a handkerchief just behind the hairline. swimming time, most fashion ex- perts have predicted. New color-fast dyes,. in prac- tically any conceiveable hue, have been developed which will make it possible for coeds to wear favorite suits in chlorinated pools without feai' of bleaching or streaking them. Graduation Gifts Show Thoughtful, Useful Selection Coeds and men will soon face the problem of what to choose for a graduation gift. The trend is toward more prac- tical thoughfulness in the choice, and the final decision should de- pend largely on the future plans of the individual, it is suggested. The woman who intends to be married in the coming year will welcome a gift of silver in the pat- tern of her choice. The coed, however, who is thinking more in terms of a business career for her future would probably enjoy a fashionable watch, or a ring to replace her worn high school ring. Insignia rings of the University are featured around graduation times in many local jewelry stores. Useful items can be found in a wide price range; to suit the oc- casion. Wallets to hold first pay checks or new driver's licenses and compacts to contribute to better grooming, will always be welcome. A leather travel clock is often a badly needed replacement for the worn old alarm clock which has sounded the call during college days. In the case of gifts for men, a knowledge of his future plans is also essential, if something is to be selected that he will really en- joy. If he is scheduled to enter the armedservices in the nearfuture, a different type of watch is called for than if he plans to go into a business career or continue his schooling. Personal jewelry is a good way to emphasize the importance of a well-groomed, business-like ap- pearance in new surroundings. Cuff-links, a tie holder or match- ing tie and collar pins are suitable gifts. t Don Messersmith will be a tour leader for American Youth Hostelers this summer in Swe- den, Belgium and France. The group he is leading will include Shirley Seegmiller and students from Michigan State College, Wayne University, and the Uni- versity of Toledo. All thoughts now center on Italy and Paris for five members of Phi Sigma Delta fraternity, Al Gen-, delman, '53, Pete Katz, '55, Ted Andur, '55, Bob Paley, '55, and Dave Wilson, '54, who will make a private tour. * -* * "IT ALL happened over a bridge table," replied Alice Seitzman, '56, when asked howshe decided to go to Europe. Between bids Miss Seitzman and her partner both expressed a burning desire tobvis- it the continent and before the game was over the decision had been reached. Studies will occupy the tine of many University students this vacation period. While Mary Marsh, '53, will continue her education at Oxford, in England, Bill Diener, '54, and Jim Nickel- son, '54, Spanish Mexico. Besides hopes toI Hawaiian hope to improve their at the University of studying Carolyn Call get a good look at the Islands. GRADUATION gifts will help pay the expenses of Pat Texter, Polly Kurtz and Jean Allen for their European jaunt. Scenery in Northern Canada will be viewed by John Mc- Knight, '53, and Charles Wick- man, '55, who, along with many other University students, will go hosteling this summer. Queen Elizabeth's Coronation will be the center of interest for Phyliss Mann, '54, Lyn Robbins. '54, Jane Straka, '55, and Joyce; * * Leonare '55 and Marlene Schul- hauser. A COMBINATION of tours will be taken by Bert Shapero, '55. His European jaunt will include 10 free days in Paris. He will also see points of historical interest in Spain. Joe B.erke, '53, a classmate of Shapero's will also take the samehcontinental tour. Two Martha Cook residents, Brenda Brush, '53 and Jane Spence will visit the sights in Italy and Germany. Student tours of the continent will also be taken by Marylin Hey, '53. Willard Hackett. '55, Jane Spence '56, Gene Loring '55, Joan Malamud, '53, Carol Copeland, '55.
