Delving into the deepest and
darkest corners various bits of
dust come to light.
The ATO's and Phi Gams vied
for the spotlight Sunday night
both featuring buffet suppers. It
was the Fiji's annual Sweetheart
supper, and favorable reports
came drifting back. Patty Jensen
arrived with Tim Bates Midge
Holtzscherer dropped the AWS
scowl under Ed Copple's flattering
influence and Mary Cox was es
corted by Don Brown, something
definitely new.
Prefering the Taus were June
Korb, with Perry Fuller as her
choice Bobbie Wentz with Bill
Sloan and Sue Lancaster, but
this time with Chuck Heridrick
son. One never knows. Wonder if
it's appropriate to mention the
unpinning of Bill Lear and Billie
Trombla?
Playing it just vice versa. Mavis
McMurray agreed to wear the Sig
Ep heart of Don Munson beside
her own Gamma Phi pin, last Fri
day night.
Timed.
Shortest pinning yet known:
Time limit 10 minutes. Pat Gil
ligan and Gayland Eddling were
the favored couple while Bob
Buxtcn registered nothing but
disapproval. Comment: Short
and sweet?
Taking a great risk, Bob Wea
ver ventured bringing pin-mate
Bonnie Gates into the eager
hands of his Phi Delt brothers for
candy passing Sunday. Anyway,
its fun, just ask the fellows who
lined up.
Want to extend our sympathies
to Bob Lee, Phi Delt, due to the
fact that Wy Walker is weiring
a Beta pin. Fate made it so that
introductions were too late.
Ignored.
Jean Skinkle and Dolly Tracy
both ignored activities on ye old
campus to spend the weekend in
the homes of Hand Heidtbrink and
Paul Evans respectively.
One of the highlights of the Sig
Ep Polka party Friday night was
the notable pinning of Topsy
Ramsey and Bob Kielfe. Not
bragging, but it was prophesied.
With the same idea, but exr
pressed by a sparkle on the left
hand ring finger speaking of
Jane Gillette and her diamond.
Looking back over this column,
one would think that spring is be
ing rushed just a bit will leave
now.

BY MARTIN VEGAS.
Kd note: Vera, a Veneiuelaa, is
frrnhniM at the university.
It is wonderful to see how the
stream of Latin American stu
dents who come to the United
States in order to complete their
studies has increased. Every year
hundreds of South American stu
dents come to the United States
to attend various universities.
Latin Americans who wish to
continue their studies in a foreign
country, do not go to France, Italy
or Germany as they used to do;
they come to the United States.
This change has coincided with
the new Inter-American policy,
a policy of mutual respect and
equality which has permitted an
understanding and true friendship
between the two Americas.
The Pan-American relations,
which were darkened for a long
time, are now clear and are going
to be supported by the Latin
American students who have
really met and known the Amer
ican people. No longer will they
learn to know America through
the beautiful words and long
speeches by diplomats in white
shirts. True friendship is rapidly
developing with the interchange
students.
Possibly the main reason the
Latin American students come to
the United States is because the
South American countries, for a
long time submerged in civil wars.
have not brought their education
al institutions to the high degree
of perfection that has been
achieved by so many universities
in the United States.
Latin America, which has the
oldest universities on the contin
ent, has one defect which is be
coming more evident as time pro
gresses. The instruction received
is excessively theoretic.
Our education, based on the
French school, goes by the way
of the philosophies without giving
much attention to the research
and experiments of theories. On
the other hand, the American uni
versities with their laboratories
and opportunities for gaining
practical experience in connection
with the theory taught in class
rooms, offer a larger field for re
search.
Latins Prefer Universities in U. S
Another reason Latin Ameri
cans prefer universities in the
United States is because the vo
cation of a professor in South
America is not given the social
position that it is in the United
States.
Finally, our relatively small

McKinsey. Betty Jeanne Holcomb

thella Holcomb earned an ex
cellent rating in discussion. The
sisters won fourth place in their
respective divisions.
The University of Chicago, Uni
versity of Southern California,

Utah. Brigham Young University,

ROTC Band,
Soloists, Give
Fine Concert
BY TOM GREEN.
The university ROTC Sym
phonic band, under the direction
of Donald Lentz, presented its
mid-winter concert Sunday to a
receptive audience of nearly 3,500
at the coliseum.
The soloists, Phyllis Fisher,
marimbist, and Margaret Maud
lin, cornetist, proved themselves
to be most competent in their ca
pacity. Miss Fisher, playing the
familiar "Zieguenerweisen" by
Sarasate, accompanied by the
band, displayed extremely fine
technique, whereas the highpoint
of Miss Maudlin's performance
was seen in her artistic phrasing
and also in the evidence of the
Slavic character of the "Hun
garian Dances" which were her
medium (instead of as was pro
gramed). General Appeal.
The program which opened
with the popular "Russian and
Ludmilla Overture" by Glinka,
had as its major work Listz's "Les
Preludes," and was well balanced
by works of varying character.
The Dvorak "Slavic Dance No. 3
in A flat" and the "Armenian
Dances" by Khachaturian lent a
folk element to the concert, and
the marches and light numbers
played contributed greatly to the
general appeal.
The peak of the concert was
the performance of the "Legend"
by Paul Creston, contemporary
American composer of wide re
nown. The work is beautifully
constructed, rich in melodic and
harmonic appeal, and the crafts
manship displayed in it is of the
finest kind. This opus is one of
the few works written by a major
composer solely for band per
formance. Throughout the con
cert the band showed rare ability
for balance, phrasing, intona
tion, and acute attention to the
niceties of nuance which make
a piece of music meaningful.
In the band were several men
who had been members of the
band in previous years, some hav
ing made the trip to the Rose
BowL However, the presence of
women in the band has dropped
only slightly since last year.

Miss Tourel has chosen groups of
Italian, French, Russian and
American songs. An unusual num
ber is a coloratura aria by Rossini,
in whose day it was common for a
mezzo-soprano or contralto to per
form coloratura work.
Additional concert variety plus
humor is promised in her closing
selection, a group of five "kid
songs" entitled "I Hate Music," by
the contemporary American Leon
ard Bernstein. Her group of fa
miliar French art songs will con
clude with the Habenera from

number of institutions of higher
education have brought a con
glomeration of students and it is
impossible to provide complete
training for all of them.
South America, looking forward
to its future, now studies these
problems of education in its
countries and tries to solve them,
realizing that education is vital
