MARIA CONSTANTINIDES, foreign fellowship scholar from Grece,
(seated at left) tells staff reporter, Louise McDill, (on arm of chair)
her story while Mrs. E. C. Walrath, house mother and Ruth Peters,
Love Hall president, listen attentively.
WOMEN ARE LIKE
NEWSPAPERS:
They have forms.
They are wordy.
They carry a treat deal of
influence.
Back numbers are never in
demand.
They are worth looking over.
You can't believe everything:
they say.
They can never keep a secret
They are much thinner than
they used to be.
Their columns get longer and
longer.
Every man should have one
of his own and not borrow
his neighbor's.
It's more fun reading them
in Braille.

Like many a young person,
Bidu Sayao, whose recital tonight
at 8:30 in the Stuart Theater is
the second attraction of the Lin
coln Symphony series, had a diffi
cult time convincing her parents
that she should enter the career
of her choice.
Born a daughter of one of
Brazil's most prominent families,
Miss Sayao found her self faced
with the long-established and
highly-respected tradition of her
country which rules out any possi
bility for young women of breed
ing to enter the arts or professions.
Her love for both classical music
and native Brazilian music, added
to her own joy in singing, led her
to decide that she would be a
singer.
Possessing a voice capable of
development and the willingness
to work hard, she began to study
in secret at the age of 14 with
Madame Theodorini, one of Rio's
most distinguished voice teachers.
When Bidu felt ready to inform
her parents of her decision to be
come a singer, it was only the
teacher's charm and refinement
that revised the family's opinion of
singers in general and of Bidu's
career in particular.
Once having changed their
minds, the Sayao's took Bidu to
Paris to study with the famous
tenor Jean de Reszke. Complet
ing her training with him, Miss
Sayao made a debut in her native
Rio that brought subsequent en
gagements with leading opera
houses in Europe.
It . was at a performance at
Milan's La Scala Opera that
Maestro Arturo Toscanini heard
the young soprano, and upon her
arrival for a vacation in the
United States, engaged her to sing
with the New York Philharmonic
in Debussy's cantata "Blessed
Damozel." After her successes
with the Philharmonic, Miss Sayao
hardly had time to visit Central
Park before the Metropolitan
opera had signed her to a long
term contract. For the last ten
years she has been starred at the
Met.
Season tickets for Miss Sayao's
recital tonight, the second of six
symphony-sponsored events, are
available at student rates of $4.25
today until 5 p. m. at the outside
box office of the Stuart Theater
or in suite 325 Stuart Building.
After 6 p. m., tickets may be pur
chased at the inside box office.
Miss Sayao's program includes
groups of French, Brazilian, and
American songs, and two operatic
arias:
Le defi de Phoebus et de pan. .J. 8. Bach
Love Has Eyes Henry Bishop
La Farfallteta Cesti
Aria: Deh vlenl non tardar ("MarriaRe

"We must teach them how to
live." This is the simple creed of
Maria Constantinides, home eco
nomics student from Greece, who
is here through the provisions of
the Foreign Fellowship scholar
ship offered by the Home Ec club
in conjunction with the univer
sity student foundation.
Maria had previously been
employed as a teacher of home
economics in Greek schools, and,
when her year of schooling is up,
she will return to her homeland.
"I feel that we need instructors
very badly back there," she ex
plained, The people in Greece
don't know how to make homes
or bring up children. When we
younger people try to teach them
better methods they say, 'This is
how our grandmothers did it' ."
Maria's arrival in Lincoln was
the climax of a long trip over
land and sea from her native
land. Last summer when she first
learned of her scholarship, she
tried to secure her passport and
passage to America. Due to gov
ernment complications, she did
not obtain her passport until
October, and it was on Oct. 16
that she finally boarded her ship
along with approximately 1,000
other passengers and set sail for
New York. The trip over was only
thirteen days, but it seemed longer
to Maria, as she looked forward
to her new adventure.
Arriving here in the middle of
the night on Nov. 2, Maria caught
the local department quite by sur
prise. Consequently, she stayed
in the depot until morning when
Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman of
the home economics department,
and several girls hurried down to
meet her.
During the war, Miss Constan
inides worked in several hospitals
in Athens, in addition to teaching
home economics in her spare
time. She also attended a french
school in Bulgaria before Greece
became too entangled in the con
flict. "I didn't have much time
then for dancing or other things
you do here," she confided, smil
ing. Having arrived here too late for
