"PEACEMAKER"
New names, such as Teotihuacan, Cuiculco and Mitla, were added to the vocabularies of 29 students and instructors who went to Mexico under the International Club's sponsorship during the Christmas vacation. They returned early today.
The group spent two weeks in Mexico. They traveled by chartered bus.
Their first five days were spent in and around Mexico City. They visited the National University of Mexico, the oldest but probably the most modern in North America, The Guadalupe Sanctuary, the Chapultepec Castle, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Pyramids of Teotihuacan. They also saw a bullfight.
The party, after visiting Mexico City, divided into two groups. One group went to Vera Cruz, resort and seaport on the Gulf of Mexico. The other group visited Oaxaca, southeast of Mexico City. There they saw the ruins at Monte Alban and Milta.
The group held a Mexican Christmas party with a pinata and nacimiento, yuletide attractions of the Latin countries.

Santee, the former Kansas miler, was banned from amateur status by that organization. Dr. Allen is ordered to appear within 30 days.

Dr. Allen said Wednesday night that he is planning to make a speech on the AAU Jan. 15 at one of his regularly scheduled speaking appearances.
