A student finds a cozy cubby-hole in Fraser Hall—just right for leaning back and reading yesterday's assignment or today's Kansan. But
alas, there is not room for his entire length, and the part that sticks out is a traffic hazard for unwary passers-by—or maybe an Arc de Triomphe for ants. Marvin Umholtz, Lawrence senior, is seen here contemplating the shine on his shoes.
European Experiences Vary
Experiences were varied this summer for KU students, professors and their families who spent two months in Europe.
Irv Robinson, Prairie Village senior, who was the SUA board member in charge of travel for 1969-70, said 156 persons made the summer flight from New York to Paris.
SUA arranged the flight but not the tour. Also on the flight were a number of architecture students and students going to summer school in Germany and France.
The architecture students traveled through Europe as a class and received course credit, said Judy Mueller, Red Oak, Iowa, senior.
Miss Mueller said the group visited Paris, Italy, Athens, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Amsterdam and London.
"We spoke with many people in restaurants' and places like the Spanish Steps in Rome," she said, "It was quite different from our country. The people there use the

space—parks and places like that much more than we do.
Mark Biddle, Kansas City senior, hitchhiked his way across Europe.
He said he enjoyed hitchhiking because he could "meet people on an individual basis."
Biddle said he was greatly impressed by the reaction to him by people in Europe.
"The life style is very different. For instance, I didn't feel hated because of long hair. And everyone was really nice about giving me rides.
"I got to know some of the students in Amsterdam. They're concerned about the same things we're concerned about—Vietnam, pollution and population."
Loneliness was not a problem during his travels, Biddle recalled, adding that he thought the countryside was more interesting than the cities. He remained in one small town two weeks while visiting the medieval towns surrounding it.
In Switzerland Biddle stayed in a youth hostel.
"The best cathedrals I saw were in the Alps, the best sculpturing was being done by the mountain streams, and the best paintings were alpine meadows," he said.
"Id like to go back and stay but I don't know if I want to stay the rest of my life," he said. "There are certain things I like here. I enjoy Cokes with ice. Over there I got tired of being the only person from Kansas that people had ever met."

Student to Vietnam For ROTC Cruise
A summer cruise in the South Pacific may sound glamorous to civilians, but the atmosphere was strictly business for senior midshipman Anatoli Welihozkiy, Millville, N.J., graduate student. Welihozkiy, who is enrolled in Naval ROTC, took the cruise in conjunction with the ROTC program.
"We flew from Travis Air Force Base in San Francisco to Clark AFB in the Philippines," he said. "We were transported the same day by Air Force jets to Subic Bay Naval Base on the island of Luzon.
"Then we were put on an amphibious transporter, the Duluth, which steamed up the coast of Vietnam for three days, stopping at Da Nang."
"Hong Kong was the best
At the close of each different mission the men were given leaves ranging from one day to a week.
Wellhozkiy explained that near Da Nang he went through a training period on general quarters and participated in simulated battles. After that, he said his group headed north to the carrier Bainbridge and conducted search and rescue missions.
Welihozkiy said he became involved in ROTC because "I didn't want just to be drafted. I wanted to decide for myself, lead, be an officer. And then I found this program that would let me finish my graduate work, too."
leave," Welilhozkiy said. "It is the shopper's paradise of the world. Things like cameras, watches, stereos and suits were all priced 50 to 60 per cent lower than in this country."
"I think the most exciting thing that happened was seeing a missile fired from a ship," he recalled. We had set up an old tugboat as a target. All you heard was click-tick-rumble-bum-and whoosh across the sky.
"The most unusual thing was the poverty and the contrast between the rich and poor in places like the Philippines and Hong Kong."
