The Communists have de

talks. This proposal, consid
ered a threat to the success of
the big talks, is opposed by the
United States.
Arthur Dean. United States

hoped some agreement could be
reached.
Another disagreement between
the Reds and the United States
concerns the order of business
for the preliminary talks. The

agenda for this meeting.

French Clothes Chic
But Drab Says Sabin
NUer Attends School In Paris
By GRACE HARVEY
Staff Writer
"French women are very style-
conscious overly so." According
to Ellen Sabin, freshman in Arts
and Sciences from New York
City, the weaker sex in France
are "nuts about clothes. How
ever," she added, "although they
wear only the latest costumes
they are of dark, drab colors."
Miss Sabin said French school
girls, instead of wearing the
typically American bobby sox
and skirts and sweaters, are re
quired to wear uniforms.
As a result of her lather s po
sition as chief , of the' milk con
servation program of the United
Nations International Children's
Emergency Fund, Miss Sabin has
lived in Washington, D. C, Ne:v
York City, Laramis.Wyo.. and
Paris, France.
MISS SABIN'S family sailed
for Europe July 19, 1949 to spend
a year in the French capital. A
freshman in - high school, Miss
Sabin attended the American
Community School in Paris. She
said that only English-speaking
students attend this high school.
All classes were taught in Eng
lish, except the foreign language
courses. In these classrooms only
the language of the course was
spoken.
The school was located in
what had formerly been ' a
private mansion. As most Euro
pean homes are, it. was fenced
so that no one could see in.
MISS SABIN'S family lived in
four-room fifth, floor apart
ment in Paris. "There was an
elevator up, but it wouldn't go
down again, she said.
Miss Sabin said, "The rooms

Candidates
For Rhodes
Announced
Rystrom, Johnson
Endorsed By NU
Ken Rystrom and Wayne John
son, both seniors in the College
of Arts and Sciences, were
selected Monday to represent the
University as candidates for
Rhodes Scholarships for 1954
1955. The candidates were selected
by Harold W. Manter, professor
of zoology; Lane W. Lancaster,
professor of political science;
Clarence McNeill, professor of
economics and David Dow, pro
fessor of law.
THIRTY-TWO Rhodes Schol
arships are assigned annually to
the United States. The states
are grouped into eight districts
of six states each in order to
make the appointments.
The candidates from all of the
colleges in Nebraska who are
submitting applicants will be in
terviewed by the state committee
on Dec. 9.
Application may be made in
either the state in which they
have ordinary home and resi
dence, or in any state in which
they have received at least two
years of college training.
CANDIDATES are first nomi
nated by the states; two candi
dates from each state' then ap
pear before the district commit
tee. Four men are selected from
the twelve candidates to repre
sent their states as Rhodes
Scholars at Oxford University.
The six states in this district
include: Nebraska, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas.
Rhodes scholars have the op
portunity to choose a course of
study at Oxford, which will be
carried out for a period of at
least two years.
TO BE eligible for the schol
arships, one must be a male ci
tizen, unmarried, between the
ages of 19 and 25, with certain
exceptions, and have a junior
standing at a recognized college
or university in the United
States which grants degrees.
one end of the kitchen to the
opposite end of the dining-living
room. There was no refrigera
tion and the gas for their little
gas cook stove was always
turned down to its lowest ebb
when it was time to prepare
meals." She added, "The only
nice furniture in the French
apartments was that in ported by
Americans."
While in Europe, Miss Sabin
toured Belgium, northern Italy,
Switzerland, England, and the
Netherlands at tulip time.
SHE OBSERVED, "Europe is
an interesting place to visit. You
can observe new cultures and at
tempt to learn to understand the
people and their views. You see
international relations from a
different angle. For instance,
you begin to understand just
why the French will not co-operate
with Germany in their
fight over the Saar Valley. More
important, you become more
aware of the real conflicts over
Communism in France."
Miss Sabin said, "The French
people are hard to get acquainted
with because of the language
barrier. . They resent the fact
that Americans do not speak
French. They think that we don't
care enough about them to learn
their language, while they are
required to take English in
school."
She added, "French girls do
not wear makeup until they are
IS. Boys and girls are held
down to the old customs of
proper Introductions and chaper
ones until they reach that age.
After that, however, many of
them run wild doing whatever
they choose." .
