EUROPEAN TOUR PLANNED Mrs. MaBellc Smith, assistant dean of students, is interested in taking a group of students on a European tour next summer. If enough girls sign up for this trip, the group can select its own tour; a small ^oup will join a tour from the University of Kentucky or from Cornell. In order for Mrs. Smith to arrange such a tour, it is necessary for all interested students to discuss the proposed trip with her as soon as possible. The initial payment must b« made by January 1. Mrs. Smith toured eleven Euro pean countries last summer by bus. Her group traveled with a conductor-guide and found it very helpful to have the same guide for the entire trip. Traveling by bus gave the group the opportunity to take various side trips which would not have been possible by train. Thus Mrs. Smith recommends the same type of tour for the student group.
