UNLIKE SAMSON—John I. Hughes is "holding" up the royal marble temple in the King's
palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Samson, as you may remember, shook down a temple.
Student Sees World On $1,200 Budget
When you travel 32,496 miles in six months you're bound to have something to talk about. And John I. Hughes, Lawrence senior, certainly has. For Hughes, whose itinerary reads like that of a secretary of state, spent last summer in Europe, went on to the Mediterranean area, then to Egypt, the Near East and the Holy Lands, Southeast Asia, to Australia for the Olympics, to the Fiji Islands, Hawaii and back home again to Kansas, Dec. 25.
Few Luxuries
He arrived in Singapore as the Chinese students were rioting and in Egypt a month and a half after the Suez crisis broke out.
For the entire trip, Hughes spent about $1,200. He said he slept in only two hotels on the trip. He carries with him only a dacron suit, three shirts, two pair of shoes, one pair of levi's and a black sweater.
Hughes said that since he and his travel companions, two Florida University students, camped out most of the time it was often impossible to wash clothing as often as they would have liked.
"The food, in general, must not have been too bad," he said. "At least none of us were sick during the trip."
Of the 24 countries he visited, Hughes liked England, Germany and Australia best and said he would like to return to those countries.

He found more prejudice against him in being a white and a Christian than as an American. He said that the American passport in most cases was a ticket to some of the finest hospitality in the world.
Hitchhikes Across Australia
Hitchhikes Across Australia Hughes believes he is one of the few Americans to have hitchhiked across Australia. This trip included 2,000 miles across the Nullabar Plain in the center of Australia.
In India an old woman invited Hughes and his two friends to come and stay at her house. She told them there were no beds, but they could at least sleep in the living room on the floor and have a roof over their heads.
So they did.
After spending a restless night and hearing noises about the room, and seeing a wicker basket in the corner, Hughes decided the old woman must have been a snake charmer.

Youths' Art Work On Display
Embroidery and block prints by elementary and junior high school students are on exhibition this week as part of the eighth annual Art Education Conference which begins Friday.
The exhibits are being shown in the south lounge of the Student Union and in the art education room, Bailey. The works are by students from the second grade to high school. They represent 12
cities in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Colorado.
The exhibit is divided into two parts, creative embroidery and block prints being shown at the Student Union and block prints at Bailey.
One example of the embroidery depicts "rub-a-dub-lub, three men in a tub." In it are yarn, toothpicks, buttons and appliqué. This wall hanging is shown on the west wall of the south lounge.
