Exhausted by thesis, hour exams and term papers, the student can look forward on April 3 to nine days of travel, unlimited by the tunnels of the MTA.

Travel often requires, a lot of driving, always requires a lot of money, but if the tourist plans his time well he can see much and also have a good time.

Places to go seem nowadays limited only by the size of your pocketbook and the number of towns listed in the latest Rand McNally Gazetteer. But Bermuda, Nassau, Florida, Washington, New York, and the Vermont ski trails perennially remain the spring vacation favorites.

For devotes of wine, woman, and the sun tan, Bermuda is probably the most popular of these. The island's hotels offer a program especially planned for the college student with nightly dancing, college weeks, and ample opportunity for swimming, tennis, golf, and sailing. An added attraction this year is an early season glimpse of the Crimson rugby team which will be touring the islands in early April.

Prices at most Bermuda hotels during the spring holidays average about $14 a day on a modified American plan (breakfast plus lunch or supper included in price). Plane fare to the island is about $120 round trip including tax. Steamer fare is $125 and up.

Florida and Nassau both offer what many of its inhabitants term "the best swimming in the world." Spear fishing, open to novice as well as the veteran, is Nassau's most novel attraction. Round trip coach plane fare to Nassau is $160; to Florida $110 to $125. Hotel prices are about the same as in Bermuda.

Washington Cheaper

For the student with a smaller bank account, Washington always is good for a three or four day visit. The capital, adorned with cherry blossoms and visiting school children, is usually in its best form during the spring holidays. The weather is warm, congress is in session, and all the traditional attractions are open to the public.

Because of the recent shootings in the House of Representatives it is necessary to write your congressman to secure permission to visit either of the two houses. But if you can remember his name this shouldn't be too difficult to attain.

Hotels in the capital average around seven dollars a day but if you look far enough you can probably get by on considerably less. Train fare to Washington, round trip from Boston, is $35; plane fare is $39 round trip on the air coaches.

From 'Y' to Waldorf in New York

For the student who can't get home for the holidays a two or three day visit to New York City is often a good way to break up the monotony of a vacation week in Cambridge. Hotel rates in New York vary from $1.50 at the 34th St. "Y" to $15 a day at the Waldorf or Plaza. Its best not to go American plan here since New York probably has greater variety of foreign and good American restaurants than any other city in the world. For night entertainment most of the hotels offer big name bands for dancing, but its best to figure on being ten of fifteen dollars poorer when you leave.

Train fare to New York is about $15 round trip.

For these who didn't get their fill of snow this winter, there's always plenty in northern Vermont and Canada during early April. Stowe and the Laurentians are usually most popular at this time. Room and board here ranges from three to fifteen dollars a day, but usually is nearer the former. Round trip train fare to Stowe is $16, to the Laurentians, $25
