Students planning a European
, n(J rip may find that a Eurailpass can
™:ut their travel costs dramatically.
What is a Eurailpass? It is a single
)re-paid train ticket which allows
mlimited first-class train travel
13 European countries.
Prices for a regular Eurailpass
ange from $170 for 15 days to $420
for three months.
A full-time student under 26 can
juy the Student Rail Pass. This pass
savesw Eurailpass but is valid
mly for second-class train travel
Student Rail Pass costs $230
ind is good for two months of travel.
One advantage of the Eurailpass
Is its flexibility.
The traveler is not confined to a
let itinerary, but can leave within
ninutes, arriving when and where
lesired. It also leaves the traveler
ree to sit back and enjoy the outside
:enery as well as meet and mingle
mQH vith the “inside” scenery.
Not only do European trains run
ast and frequently, but most first-
1ALS
Tim
class sections are equipped with up
holstered reclining seats. Many
trains also have dining cars or snacks
available. The train traveler can
save on hotel bills by traveling dur
ing the night in a couchette or
sleep-car. These require an
additional fee and reservation.
Passes can be used in: Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, France, Ger
many, Holland, Italy, Luxemborg,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden
and Switzerland.
These passes cannot be bought in
Europe and must be purchased in
the U.S. before leaving. The pass
dates must be validated in Europe
at the rail station ticket office where
the pass holder begins his trip.
A Eurailpass does not guarantee a
seat on every train, since most
first-class trains require reser
vations. But reservations can be
made and paid for before leaving for
Europe.
Or if the traveler has more flexi
ble plans, reservations can be made
at any rail station in Europe before

Club president Mary Mock and

lier delivered the $900 to Howard
Perry, the university’s associate vice
president for student services and
1977 campus campaign chairman.
Collier said the run was adapted
from an idea used to raise money for
a new track at another university.
each trip.
As one Eurailpass user said,
“ Traveling by train is the most inex
pensive, convenient and pleasant
way to see Europe. ”
Not only is the traveler free from
the hassles of flat tires and closed
gas stations, but time isn’t wasted by
commuting to and from airports.
To fight the language barrier,
English is used on most train
schedules and signs in the trains.
Major European railway stations
have centers to help make reser
vations, and provide information on
lodging, food, luggage storage and
tours.
One of the special opportunities
available through the Eurailpass is
the use of the Trans Europ Espress
(TEE) trains. These luxury, first-
class, express trains travel from
country to country as fast as 125
mph. Reservations are necessary for
these trains.

If you are being
commissioned
You may want to join
the Bank of A&M’s
World-Wide program.
When you go on active duty, your banking
requirements will change dramatically.
You’re going to move around the world.
Your need for credit and for cash will be
quite different from your classmates who
return to their hometown to work and live.
And the penalties for record keeping er
rors are more severe for military officers
than most (if not all) other professions.
The World-Wide Department of the Bank of A&M was conceived to meet the needs of A&M
officers on active duty. The department is staffed by Aggies with first hand experience of TDY,
overseas movement, car financing in a foreign city, check-cashing problems at a military
installation, allotments, telephone transfers, etc.
The World-Wide program includes all the features of the so-called “military banks’’: direct
paycheck deposit, telephone loan service, write your own loan program, overseas car financ
ing, automatic transfers from checking to savings (and visa versa), credit cards, overdraft
protection . . . plus personal service by senior bank officers with career military experience
and Aggie know-how.
Visit the Bank of A&M today (or some day of convenience) before your commissioning date to
learn how the Bank of A&M’s World-Wide Department can be of service to you.
