Foreign Culture To Be Shown Tomorrow
The musical fare will be varied and unusual. "Dandiya Raas," a dance by students from India, uses sticks beaten in rhythm.
African students will offer both vocal and instrumental music. The students will play the mandolin, bongos and a guitar.
The foreign student festival. "The World On A Stage." will be presented tomorrow in Hoch Auditorium.
An atmosphere of color and festivity will prevail in Hoch as the students, dressed in their native costumes, greet visitors. "Music of the Nations," a taped recording of music from other lands, will greet those who want to attend the free festival.
Switzerland's "Songs and Dances in Three Languages" consists of songs in German, Italian and French.
A parade of costumes from most of the 57 countries represented by students at KU will also highlight the program.
Paintings, fabrics, sculpture, jewelry and other products of 18 different cultures will be on exhibit between 1:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Foreign students will be on hand to explain their exhibits to visitors.
The program begins at 7:45 p.m. The students will present skits, songs, dances and instrumental music from nine major areas of the world.
The Pakistanis are presenting a skit dealing with medical malpractice in Pakistan villages. The skit is called "Witch Doctor."
The "Red Scarf Dance" of the Chinese students will tell the story of an emperor and his love for a concubine during the Tang Dynasty.
The Latin Americans will present the folk dances "Las Alazanas" and "La Malaguena."
The movements of ducks, fireflies and rieebirds will be illustrated with dances by students from the Philippines. They reflect the Spanish influence on Philippine culture.
The German students' skit concerns "Appearance and Reality, or the Clash Between What Americans Think of Germany and What It Actually Is."
The Arab nations will present a portrait, "At Dawn in an Arabian Countryside." The skit features a scene depicting women going to the community well to draw water, and is accompanied by a rendition of Arabian folk songs.

LUCKY STRIKE PRESENTS:
Dear Dr. FROOD:
DR. FROOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: BEWARE OF SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING!
LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE LUCKY STRIKE
Dear Dr. Frood: I've been reading a great deal about automated teaching devices. How long will it be before they come up with machines to replace professors? Professor
DEAR PROFESSOR: Just as soon as they get one that can rap the knuckles of a sleeping student, give humiliating answers to foolish questions and spring surprise tests whenever it happens to be in a bad mood.
Dear Dr. Frood: My problem is fat, stubby fingers.
As a result, I am exceedingly awkward with my hands.
My manual dexterity is so poor, in fact, that I can't even get a Lucky pack open. What can I do?
Fingers
DEAR FINGERS: Simply strap ordinary sewing needles along both of your index fingers. Now cup the Lucky pack in your hands, grasp the little red tab in your teeth, and yank. Next, place the pack on a flat surface and secure it between two unabridged dictionaries. Then, with the right-hand needle, carefully, carefully carve a one-inch-square opening at the top right-hand corner. Finally, place the points of the needles firmly against the sides of a Lucky and lift. That's all there is to it. A word of warning though: Try to be careful when shaking hands.
Dear Dr. Frood: In the four years I've been at this college I've done some pretty horrible things. I am guilty, for instance, of into and around the home of Professor I'm also ashamed of the Board of Regents, and completely the campus policeman's . But the worst thing I did was after hiding all night in the Can I, in good conscience, even accept a diploma from dear old
Can I, in good conscience, even accept a diploma from dear old ___?
DEAR : You can if you send $500 in unmarked bills to Dr. Frood, Box 2990, Grand Central Station, New York 17, N. Y. If you don't, I'll print your letter without the little black lines.
Dear Dr. Frood: Don't you think it's wrong for a boy and girl to marry while they're still in school?
THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL, says Dr. Frood. Or, more exactly, on the blackboard. It's appearing on college blackboards everywhere: "College students smoke more Luckies than any other regular." Why is this statement showing up on college blackboards? Because I am paying agents to put it there. For you must remember that Luckies are the cigarette with taste—the emphatic toasted taste. Try a pack of Luckies today.
DEAR SOC.: Yes, they should at least wait until recess.
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!
