Volen dam to spend a summer of work, study, and travel in Europe under the sponsorship of the United States National Student Associa tion (NSA). NSA, said to be the largest American agency for sending stu dents abroad, made arrangements with the Dutch government for the use of the Volendam, a former troopship, to provide low-cost transportation for American col lege students going abroad to par ticipate in NSA tours and work camps. ORIENTATION PROGRAMS on board ship for the 11-day voyage include an intensified language study program in French, Ger man and Italian based on armed forces' phonograph methods. Lec tures and discussions concerning cultural, economic and political background of the various Euro pean countries to be visited will be led by adult experts from Hol land, France, England, and the United States. Folk dancing, sports, and mov ies will feature the shipboard rec reation program. When the ship lands in Rotter- Recital Students in the school of music who will take part in a general recital Thursday, July 21, include Ed Wells, tenor; Paul Penno, vio linist; Richard Babcock, tenor, and Muriel James, pianist.

THE REMAINDER of the stu dents will participate in four study-tours covering a total oi nine European countries. To insure inexpensive irdvti abroad, plans were made through European student associations to provide housing, food, entertain ment and cut-rate transportation. Arrangements have been made to provide accommodations in homes of European students who have similar cultural and educational interests. Meanwhile, 40 European stu dents who arrived in July on the Volendam will travel throughout the United States as guests of NSA. They will return to their homelands aboard the same ship after it docks in New York Sep tember 11 with the returning Americans. &3 C JO, The .Jiffy-Jama .O 4 A jiffy Jn breeie smart tor summer Sn slay fresh cotton crinkle crepe that'. o easy to launder.

The play, SSf ta Sm to Coward wit. The story of a neurotic family, tis a surVbet to wrench laughs from any audience, no matter what. But it looks as if there won't be a "no matter what" this summer The cast promises to turn out a fine bit of acting, ff p?t record means anything, and we presume it does. Headine the cast wiU be Paul Harrington of University radio ftmengHarrington is a familiar name to all types of speech work. Returning to the theater stage for "Hay Fever" is Blanche Duckworth. Miss Duckworth was the recipient of the 'best actress of the year award" when she was formerly connected with the theater, and promises an especially fine performance. Experimental theater veteran, Mary Lou Thompson and novice Bud Downing will add new blood to the cast And then of course, the whole affair will be molded by the hand of Max Whittaker of the speech department. In short the set-up looks like one of the best summer theatertrolucSons in'yea. Don't miss U theater's per formance of "Hay Fever." Cheers by Rod Mggt The University's $400,000 Henry Schulte Memorial Field House will be completed by Septem ber 15. When it is opened, the structure will provide an indoor field 90x100 feet where football and baseball squads will be able to work out regardless of weather. Room will be provided for indoor tackling and blocking practice and a double batting cage will be in stalled for the baseball team. The field house will also pro vide dressing rooms and locker space for the football, baseball and track squads. The present in door track layout will remain be npath the east stadium. A tunnel connects this with the lower level of the field house. The floor of the new building, which was started in 1940 but in terrupted by the war, will be dirt, and no bleachers will be placed in it, thus giving all of the space to the teams working out in it. In addition to the indoor field, there will be seven handball and two squash courts plus the train ing and equipment rooms. The lower level provides space for the able for the teaching of many of the physical education courses.
