Because of this, I had a terrible time telling them apart at first."

Miss Chen, a phyics and math major, is a junior from Formosa. She attended the University of Formosa her freshman year. May Take Test Health, the University center is doing this in co-operation with the Diabetes Committee of the Nebraska State Medical Associa tion. The purpose of this week is to put before the people of Nebraska the importance of tak ing tests to detect diabetes. SOME of the symptoms of di abetes are: changing vision, in crease in thirst, itching, frequent urination, loss of weight in spite of good appetite and pains in the arms and legs. Dr. Floyd L. Rogers, chairman of the state diabetes committee, said that these symptoms are not always apparent. Diabetes De tection Week is an attempt to fill this gap by detecting persons who are unaware that they have diabetes. By taking a diabetes test, a person may discover that he is a diabetic early enough so that, with proper treatment, he may lead a normal life later on. NU Debaters To Attend Two Meets This weekend the University debate teams will officially open their tournament season as they travel to Omaha University and the University of South Dakota. The debaters have participated in seven audience debates this fall, but these two meets will be the first regular contests in de bate, discussion, and extempora neous speaking. THE QUESTION for debate is, Resolved: The U n it e d States should adopt a policy of free trade. In the discussion events, the subject is How can present procedures and practices of Con gressional investigating commit tees be improved? Debating on the Omaha Univer sity campus will be Jere McGaf fey and Dick Fellman, debate and discussion; Don Overholt and Charles Kiffen, debate; Jerry Igou and Russel Gutting, debate; Norma h Alexander and Charles Klasek, debate. Debating at Vermillion, South Dakota, will be Alan Overcash and Homer Kenison, discussion, debate, and extemporaneous speaking; and Sandra Reimers and Sharon Mangold, discussion and debate. Just to prove that there are students sensible enough to re alize how detrimental television can be to proper study habits, the residents of the girls' dorms at Midland College have voted 91 to 2 against the purchase of new television sets for the dorm par lors.

Although her family is now living in Formosa, she lived In France for eight years. ' MISS CHEN commented upon the apparent world-wide simi larity between girls. All girls seem to like to gather into little groups and gossip about boys and clothes. However, Chinese girls talk much of the time about more serious things like home' work, she added. School girls in 1 China never wear jeans just slacks, Miss Chen said. Because they ride bi cyles to school, gifls wear skirts and blouses instead of Chinese dresses. A N OTHER AMERICANISM which particularly struck Miss Chen was the monotony of the food. "I can hardly get used to sandwiches and cold food all the time," she said. "Anything iced, including iced water or soft drinks, is unusual in China." Milk, for instance, is served hot. Like many other foreigners, Miss Chen was amazed at the extensive mechanization and the constant rush of American cul ture. "It seems as though every one is in a hurry to get some thing done. Americans take too little time for relaxation," she said. COMPARING THE University of Formosa with the University, Miss Chen pointed out that Chi nese schools offer more required courses. Students carry one ma jor course with no minors. The enrollment of Formosa Univer sity is 3500. College students carry a nor mal load of 20 to 22 credit hours. Therefore, fewer extra-curricular activities are offered than in America, Miss Chen noted. Stu dents there must spend most of their time studying, she said. IN CHINA, the public schools are controlled by the city gov ernment. English is taught in grade school. In high school, an other foreign language pertain ing to their field of study is re quired of all students. For ex ample, Miss Chen said, chem istry majors take German. She approved of the plans for International Friendship Dinner Tuesday. "All the foreign stu dents that I'm acquainted with would go if they were invited. This is a good opportunity for American students to meet and talk with the foreign students," she said. TOUR EUROPE!
