Feminine Ambassadors -
BY SAM WARREN
Eight feminine studetlt-ambas-sadors
claiming hometowns from
Shanghai to Trinidad and from
Honolulu to Istanbul have given
International House a truly inter
national atmosphere for the first
time in its four-year existence.
Probably thhe university's only
women chemical engineers are
Birsen Alytinok and Melahat
Emergil, from Turkey. Graduates
in child-welfare study from the
Hawaiian Islands are Marjorie
Morris and Beatrice Suiso.
Interior decoration is the major
of Shen Hsia-Chen (Jane Sun to
her English-speaking friends)
who flew to Lincoln straight from
Shanghai. Journalism and lan
guages, oji the other hand, were
chosen by Nina Laswiner of La
13
Paz, Bolivia. Ramdaye Ramdin is 1 Morris's reply. Landing at the
mtetrested in pre-medics, while
her cousin Sunmat Sookhdeo, al
so from Trinidad, British West
Indies, has not chosen her ma
jor yet.
'Why, of all places, did you
come to Nebraska?" drew from
"Sonia" Sookhdeo, "We came to
study." Jane Sun, great-niece of
Dr. T. Z. Koo who headed the
battery of Religion-in-life Week
speakers here last year, answered
simply, "My great-uncle chose
Nebraska for me."
For Birsen Altinok and Mela
hat Emergil the drawing card was
the fact that Turkish friends were
already studying here. "Our pro
fessors at the University of Ha
waii recommended Nebraska for
our gfadute work," was Marjorie
university was more involved for
Ramdaye Ramdin, generally nick
named "Romi." Spending her first
year at Boston University, she was
convinced by her brother that she
would be much happier here
where he is studying. When Daily
Nebra ska photographer Bill
Moorehouse called to the group
to "Smile, as if you're happy," it
was Romi who called back, "We
are happy here!"
But names and foreign customs
become unimportant once world
affairs take the spotlight. The
Trinidad cousins for example feel
that Pakistant and Hindustan,
now divided, will eventually come
together again. "They are one
people, one nation," said Romi.

Eugene Bennan, Arts and Sci
ence sophomore and former re
gional chairman of the National
Student Association, has been
named national Co-ordinator of
a United States Student "Cultu
rale" by the Executive Commit
tee of the NSA, according to in
formation received from the na
tional offices at the University of
Wisconsin.
"The 'Culturale,' as currently
envisioned," according to Berman,
"will be an attempt to portrary
through exhibits, dramatic pro
duction, athletic contests, etc., the
cultural lives of the American
college student.
World-wide Gathering
"Against the background of a
large American campus will
gather students from all parts of
the United States and the world.
Then, as student groups and edu
cational organizations each pre
sent a specific phase of the over
all picture that is the United
States student scene, the benefits
which occur from visual observa
tion, first hand acquaintainship
with these forces will be avail
able," he stated in pointing out
that the project is to be a major
cultural undertaking of the NSA
as well as a method of promot
ing international understanding
and co-operation.
On stage at one particular time
or another during this proposed
'Culturale' will be collegiate dance
groups, theatre troupes, debaters
and solo concert artists. Extensive
displays and exhibits will be set
up as well as a social program
for the attending students.
Low Cost Tours
In an effort to make the Cul
turale" a broadening experience,
national low cost travel tours will
be arranged for student partici
pants so that they will have an
opportunity to see sections of the
United States besides the one m
which they go to school or live
southerners will tour the north
and northerners will tour the
south. Such tours will provide
an opportunity for students to see
the panorama that is the Ameri
can student scene through the
reality of such tours.
Another aspect of the 'Culturale'
will be foreign student partici
pation. With the Culturale' as a
motivating factor, invitations will
be sent to student groups of all
countries to send observing rep
resentatives. It is anticipated that
many students from other na
tions will welcome the opportun
ity to visit this country and study
our culture.
Temporary Office Here
The temporary office of the
culturale is being set up en the
university campus, and until pre
liminary work is done, will re
main here. At present, Berman
stated, his job will be to investi
gate the possibility of holding the
'culturale' this summer or the ad
