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.

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.

A COCOANUT PALM against the sunset may not be the major
attraction for collegiates to Ft. Lauderdale, but it is certainly a
part of the sub-tropical atmosphere.

j Skirts will reappear on bathing suits this summer—not meant
