CYCLING an average of 30
miles per day, hostelers enjoy a
leisurely trip to get the most out
of their tour. Staying in hostels
with groups from all over the
world and journeying down back
roads, travelers see and learn
much that isn't possible on ordin-
ary tours.
Th'e coeducational groups,'
matched according to age, inter-
ests and ability, are composed of
not more than ten cyclers plus an
experienced leader. Students must
be physically fit and possess a
hosteling pass which may be ob-
tained from national headquarters.
Prospective hostelers should ' own
a bicycle of the lightweight variety
and be prepared to live ruggedly,

STUDENTS spend the -night in
one of the hostels which are now
set up in 27 countries. Buildings
are erected or adapted to house
from three to 30 persons and may
be anything from an old castle to
a converted barn. Two such hos-
tels in the Ann Arbor area, the
Pinebrook Hostel in South Lyon
and the Saline Valley Farms Youth
Hostel in Saline, provide overnight
quarters for local travelers.

States as well as from other areas{
of the world are brought together
in the cooperative living units,
community service projects and
summer work camps sponsored by
Lisle Fellowship and the Ameri-
can Friends Service Committee.
For the summer of 1954 Lisle is
setting up three International In-
stitutes of Human Relations in the
United States and two abroad. The
Friends Service Committee will
conduct work camps in seven areas
of this country, and send Ameri-

and to Mexico and El Salvador.
LISLE'S living units include
people from a variety of national'
backgrounds who live coopera-
tively for a period of six weeks.
This summer Lisle's units in
the United States will be con-
ducted in the San Francisco
area and In and near Denver,
Colorado and Washington, D.C.
After a week of orientation in
the home center the group, which
usually numbers about 40, is brok-
en up into teams of four to six.
Teams spend four day periods as
guests of local communities, where!
they may be asked to take part in
almost any sort of community
work or recreational activity.
IN COLORADO, for example,
teams will be sent to a mining
community, an Indian reservation,
areas in the city of Denver, and
Colorado colleges.
The present Lisle headquar-
ters are at Lane Hall, 204 S.
State in Ann Arbor.}
The average cost of Lisle's
American units is $150 not in-
cluding transportation to and from
the unit. European units, which
are being conducted in Germany
and Scandinavia this summer, cost
$500 including passage

JOIN THE RED CROSS
The Council on Student Travel
has recently sponsored a mid-
winter conference to discuss the
further development of student
travel, At the meeting Birger
Nordholm, chairman of the Euro-
pean Travel Commission, pointed
out that the organization handles
only about one-half of one per-
cent of the total number of Amer-
icans traveling to Europe in 1953.
The travel agency, he said, must
respond to the challenge of world
understanding. "When the Council
reaches a larger percentage of the
potential traveler we will be fully
meeting that challenge."
Gordon Boyce, chairman of the
Council, commenting on the pro-
gram, pointed out that somehow
"we have become do-gooders of
the head ather than of the heart.
Opening the glories of a new land
to a young person is not merely a
logistical problem. It's an emo-
tional experience."

ers and musicians, will also play a
large role in the festival season.

"Tristan," "Lohengrin" and "Par-
