A Summer In Europe (Continued from poge 3, col. 3)
and brief stays in London, Stratford- on-Avon and Oxford. Countries cov- ered in the Central Europe trip are Germany, Austria, France and Switz- erland.
Regardless of which group the win- ner selects, he will sail about June IS and will return about September I. Going as a member of an AYH group means that he will cover some dis- tances by train and ship, but that the greater part of his trip will consist of hosteling.
Hosteling derives its name from the low-cost overnight accommodations, "hostels," available to those with hostel passes traveling by bicycle or hiking. Hostelers carry their clothing in saddlebags on their bicycles or in packs on their backs and frequently prepare their own food. Their ex- penses seldom exceed $1.50 a day.
The competition for the trip is open to United States citizens who will have reached the age of 17 by July
I, 1951. In addition, they must ap- ply for a hostel pass for 1951. The pass costs two dollars for those under 21 and three dollars for those 21 or older, and permits the holder to stay at hostels both in this country and abroad for between 20 and 50 cents a day.
Entrants may use any number of words they choose in their essays up to I,000. Entries must be postmarked not later than April 15, 1951. The winner will be notified by mail within two weeks and his name will be an- nounced in the Summer, 1951, issue of Hosteling magazine.

Although hating to see Duke Talia
ferro leave, the counselor body o
'50-'5 1 had something to reioic
about in the face of George Smitf one. who was newly elected counselor a
of Jan. 28. George, a true Tar Hee
hails from Raleigh, N. C., and neeo
less to say he has made a name fo himself. He is a senior and a thirc
year boy. Ranking high on the scho-
lastic board, he also ranks high on th. basketball backboards, being co-cap-
tain and one of the top scorers. H
is well liked by all and we are sur
that George will show his merit in th{
role of a counselor.
