Now that the Purple Pi
ano has closed and thus
removed us from the
sphere of "genuine live
entertainment," here's a
piece of good news for
you.
Sunday night in the
YMCA at 8:30, the local
SANE committee is spon
soring a nearly-free con
cert program of folk mu
sic. Called "Folksong Amer
icana," it offers a cou
ple of hours of release
from the tensions, strains,
etc. of this weary life.
Seriously, it Is an infor
mal history of the folk
songs of this country,
pleasantly rendered by
the local semi-professionals.
Several University peo
ple are involved in it, in

TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing this letter
to you as the first repre
sentative of the University
of Nebraska's program for
a year of studies in Mex
ico at El Colegio de Mex
ico. There are two reasons
for my writing this letter.
The University of Nebras
ka will be expanding this
program for the coming
year of studies, and there
fore I feel obligated to
give the students involved
in the program a short
preview of what they will
encounter in Mexico. I al
so believe that the other
students at the University
will find interesting a
short letter about what a
North American student
meets when studying in a
Latin American nation.
El Colegio has a stu
dent body representative
of almost all the coun
tries of Latin America. A
North American student
that comes to the school
receives a cross section of
student opinion that per
haps he would have diffi
culty finding anywhere
else. Since, as you know,
the students in this region
take a very active Inter
est in politics I have
quite naturally heard the
opinions of my compan
ions concerning the whole
range of problems that
mutually affect Latin
America and the United
States.
The exchange of opinion,

unflattering as it might be
at times about our nation
and its actions in that
area, has been quite en
lightening for all con
cerned. The opinions of
some of my fellow stu
dents on such controver
sial subjects as Cuba, the
spread of Communism in.
America, the political in
stability of that area, the
solution to the many
problems of the region,
etc. is often quite differ
ent from what we expect
or even want to hear. One
sees how misinformed we
are about Latin American
sentiment in general.
A concrete example is
Cuba. Latin Americans
don't condemn Castro or
the Cuban Revolution as
we are so used to hear
ing from our newspapers
or the statements of the
O.A.S. In fact many peo
ple here consider the rev
olution as a very benefic
ial change for the masses
in Cuba. One does not
find a universal fear in
Latin America of the men
ace of Communism, as
one does in the United
States; in fact, Latin
Americans fear our influ
ence in their affairs more
than they do that of Rus
sia. This is based upon
concrete historical exper
ience. Therefore, a student who
comes to Mexico to spend
some time here, will leave
better informed over the
'Wake Up, Students!'
tions. Students rant and
rave about the "miser
able" job Student Council
does, but when it comes
to the simple action of
taking a few minutes to
cast a vote to ' help the
situation, only 21 of the
students consider the mat
ter worth their time.

campus are so disinter

Her name is Florence

she has garnered from
her travels around the

A couple of weeks ago,
I attended one of these
"meetings," and it was
fascinating. There were
maybe 7 people there,
and a serious considera
tion of American racial
policies took place. This
kind of discussion gets
pretty tiresome when all
of the discussants are Nebraska-bred,
but with an
Indian, Chinese and Irani
an thrown in, all kinds of
new light was shed. Very
thought provoking, and
just one of the things that
the NIA has b e e n spon
soring. Anyone can go to the
discussion, and you might
learn something. I did.

Latin America than if he
had remained in t h e
States dependent on books
and newspapers.
A North American stu
dent in Mexico gains a lot
more from his stay than
the information derived
from his studies. Mexico
is a country with a cul
ture and a way of life
quite distinct from the
one that is found in the
United States. The coun
try is composed of var
ious regions, each one of
which has its own Distinc
tive flavor. There ere an
cient centers of Indian cul
ture such as Oaxaca, old
Spanish cities such as Gu
anajuato, and of course the
vibrant life of the capital,
Mexico City. In addition a
y ear in Mexico should
give one a fluency in
Spanish that is impossible
to obtain without living in
a Spanish-speaking coun
try. In conclusion, I would
like to say that a North
American student in Mex
ico finds an enriching edu
cational and cultural ex
perience. In addition let me not
forget to say that a North
American here carries the
, responsibility of represent
ing his country and in
forming Latin American
opinion, which is often as
misinformed about the
United States as we are
about Latin America.

KMTOR'8 NOTE: Tin following
article, which diacassea Nebraska's
Masters Program, appeared In the
aMNKATi.lt. the University at
Wnsou-i's slodrnt newspaper. The
columnist. Larr Fuller, recently
visited the University el Nebraska
rampug.
By LARRY FULLER
A point repeatedly
stressed by Bill Seelen,
director of student activi
ties, at a recent Cross-,
roads discussion was that
many activities of our
student government have
fall into the "fun" re
alm and have very little
to 'offer educationally.
But last weekend at Ne
braska,' we were able to
see first hand a new pro
gram instituted there that
not only was educational,
but brought about a clos
er bond between the
alumni and the students.
CALLED THE "Mas
ter's Program," the Stu
dent Council invited five
alumni who have succeed
ed in various walks of
life in the "outside
world" to return to t h e
campus and speak to stu
dents. The participants includ
ed J. Lee Rankin,former
U.S. Solicitor General; E.
H. Dorhmann, director of
personnel for IBM data
processing; Percy Spen
ser, chairman of the
board of Sinclair Oil;
Chris L. Christensen, re
tired vice president and
chairman of the executive
of Celotex Corp. and Les
lie Welch, probate judge
of Jackson County.
After a brief orienta
tion program on the cam
pus the first day, the five
men spent the rest of
their time talking to stu
dent in their classes, in
assemblies and in their
living units.
THE MASTER'S Pro
gram gave students an
insight to how men who
were leaders in their re
spective fields thought.
They answered questions
on what people were look
ing for in graduating stu
dents, the Masters' defi
nition of success and how
iftose Queen Chosen

.Delta Delta Delta sorority,
fjeri Davis, a member of Al
Ipha Delta Pi sorority, Dixie
iHuffnagle, of Alpha Omicron
Pi sorority, and Willa Meyer,
of Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Miss Schmadeke will be en
tered in a contest with the
I Rose Queens from the other
1115 chapters of Delta Sigma
IPi in a National contest.

graduates from midwest
em universities, such as
Nebraska, stacked up
against graduates from
so-called Eastern prestige
schools. ,
Informal "bull sessions"
with the Masters and stu
dents popped up "every
where. Chairman of the Mas
ter's Program, Dave
Smith, admitted he was
afraid that the program
might fall flat in the din
ner discussion groups, but
found these to be about
the most successful part
of the program.
"We had members of
Mortar board and the In
nocents (counterpart to
QEBH and Mystical 7)
escort the Masters and
start the discussions,"
Dave said. "Soon the dis
cussions were moving at
a fast pace and often
lasted two hours."

College girls seem to know what they want. We get a lot of
ideas about ring styling from American campuses. If there is
such a thing as a consensus, it would sound like this: conserva
tive styling, with a difference.
That's what we've designed into Tropic Star. ..the newest of
the beautiful Artcarved diamond engagement rings. Like all
Artcarved rings, it's styled for lasting beauty... guaranteed in
writing for permanent value. Is Artcarved's beautiful new

the Master's speeches in
the Daily Nebraskan, the
campus newspaper, the
Lincoln and Omaha news
papers and radio stations
carried stories on the
program. ,
Students generally ex
pressed enthusiasm for
the program, but the big
gest endorsement came
from one of the Masters
who said he returned "to
help repay the university
for all it did for me,"
but added "after this
week I feel I have even
a bigger debt." ,
