Women Foreign Students Discuss American Coeds
Ey Joanne Prim
Everyone knows that women the world over like to talk — especially about other women.
Proof of this was provided when women international students, in recent interviews discussed their American counterparts.
"The main difference between Latin American and North American women is their relationship toward the opposite sex." Bee M. Strehler, Buenos Aires, Argentina, freshman, said.
"Latin American women are more dependent on men. In a marriage, the husband really wears the pants. Here, the husband and wife are on more of an equal basis, more like friends.
Annnarie G. Hoffman, Hannover, Germany, freshman; said, "I agree with Bee that American women are more independent.
"Modern civilization demands this sort of relationship." she said.
"But it's not really just the women's fault. Dating in nine out of 10 cases is just a game.
"SOMETHING is missing — a serious concern for the other person. A boy who goes out with a girl 10 times, for example, should be concerned if he can help her with her schoolwork.
"Girls go out with a boy because he has a car or is good looking. Sincerity is missing in the game. This lack has been developed on both sides.
"American girls are independent but it takes courage to appear in public and take responsibility.
"HOWEVER, in their personal life, they are very insecure. They don't know what kind of life they want.
"Not that they're shallow, but
emphasis is not placed on the important things.
"This is a symptom of a wealthy society," she commented. "People can swim along without struggling too hard."
Elizabeth G. Paissiou, Athens,
Greece, graduate student expressed a viewpoint similar to Miss Strehler's;
"Sometimes a woman decides at home. But in Greece, men have the first and last word.
"I prefer a situation where two persons can discuss a subject and find a solution together."
MISS PAISSIOU said the Greek women are "more feminine — in their actions and in the way they speak.
"Greek women are also more artistic than American women. They are more interested in poetry, music, and theater."
"Even if a Greek woman is not educated, she attends the theater very often. There are many theater groups.
"One more thing. American women are afraid to be sincere, to give a little tenderness or sentiment. For me, this is very essential," she said.
ANA MARIA FIRPO, Montevideo,
Uruguay, graduate student, seemed
to contradict Miss Paissiou's statement.
"American girls are very,very sincere." Miss Firpo said.
"They don't care what they say, but if they feel that way, they say it.
"Ferhaps the women are more feminine at home," she remarked. "The reason is the way they dress. It is very common to wear heels at a university."
Speaking of appearance, Miss Hoffman said, "American girls are
Conference to Discuss Care Of Released Mental Patients
The first conference on the care of psychiatric patients in Kansas after they are released from the hospital will be Wednesday and Thursday at the University of Kansas.
The meeting will center on what the Kansas community mental Health bureau has called a "problem of great urgency"—the relapse of mental patients after leaving the hospital.

"THEY ARE extraordinarily well-dressed except concerning bobby socks. The custom of wearing them everywhere can be carried to extremes."
Miss Strehler praised the neat hair and well-pressed clothes of American girls.
"You seldom find anything wrong with their appearance," she said.
"Although Latin American women are fashion conscious, too, they don't pay so much attention to a detail such as if the skirt and sweater match exactly."

Vicar Defends Experimental Sex
PLEASLEY HILL, ENGLAND — (UPI)—The Vicar of St. Barnabas Church shocked many of his parishioners recently when he defended couples who "experiment sexually" before marriage.
"They often make more faithful
partners than those who come to their marriage absolutely pure," said the Rev. Percy Powlesland, 49, in his parish magazine.
The Vicar said he had no objection to performing a marriage ceremony for a girl who was pregnant.
