SATURDAY. MARCH 8. 1958 j?or C^oeJi Bermuda, Florida Attract Large College Contingent Every year large numbers of the college contingent travel south to Florida and Bermuda for! sports, sun, dances, and beach parties. I Vacation spots in both areas look forward to the annual influx of students, which by now has become almost traditional . About 100 colleges help students make travel plans by offering “packaged” trips—a flat fee in cludes transportation, meals, lodging, and tips. With this as an incentive, thousands of young men and women start packing as soon as spring breezes begin to blow Approximately 20,000 students arrive in Ft. Lauderdale each spring for the vacation. Over the years Ft. Lauderdale has become the most popular place for stu dents. It is located about 20 miles north of Miami Beach on the ocean. The activities in Ft. Lauder dale center around the beach area swimming, boating and water skiing during the day. and beach parties, ukeleles and hot dogs at night. Miaimi Beach is best known for its fabulous hotels and elite night clubs with star attractions from all over the country. It is almost a must for students -to_ go down to Miami for" a night’s outing if they are anywhere within travel ing distance. Most students would rather not stay in Miami for their whole vacation. This is because they feel it is very commercial 'and because the hotels take up the entire beach space,. A two or three day side trip to Cuba, which is only 250 miles away from Miami Beach, has proved very popular among students. Travellers can get there ei 1 her byi boat or by plane, depending on how much lime they want to spend en route. Many students prefer going by boat even though it takes con siderably longer. One of the big advantages of going by water is that it is possible to eat and sleep on the boat after it docks in the harbor. Virginia Beach is becoming more popular every year because the expense involved is much less than that of vacationing in places such as Bermuda and Florida. .////,. <uft Easter Luggage- Swim. Suit , Shorts An early Easter this year will more than reinforce the notions of; thousands of college students who seek a sub-tropical climate while the March winds still whistle over the campus. _ Probably the two most popular collegiate designations during! spring vacation are Bermuda and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Early 1 April temperatures range from 75 to 80 degrees and there' is a perpetual ocean breeze cooling the area in the evening. One thing missing, fortunately, is the hu midity suffered by northerners in the summer. Since the natives of Fort r Lauderdale and Bermuda are virtually unaffected by seasonal changes, wearing apparal is similar t& that worn during the northern spring. -- _ For both resorts the most im portant piece of luggage is the bathing suit. It is a good idea to pack any casual sportswear and perhaps two or three cotton dress es for evening; cocktail or formal afternoon dresses are rarely seen among the college crowd. Almost a social necessity is -- the college or fraternity brand ed sweatshirt (for fast intro ductions as well as sun prolec ”lion), bermuda or Jamaica shorts, sock _ and sneaker boot-, ware and an ID card. Even Florida side-trips to Mi 'arni Beach or Havana need no change of wardrobe—everything from furs to water-wear is par aded on the streets Regardless of the. time or place, though, college students rarely find it difficult to blend in with the crowd:—be it the campus, c Bermuda or Fort Lauderdale.
