"The university is the best in Latin America." Miss Gillespie continued. "There are students who study very hard. But a great deal of students are preoccupied with outside activities such as part-time jobs and politics.
DOMINGO RICART, professor of romance languages and director of the Costa Rica program, and his wife, Margarita Ricart, accompanied the group last fall.
Miss Gillespie reminisced last night about the "delightful and unforgettable experiences" that occurred during the fall semester in Costa Rica.
The University students are fairly moderate, however; they only average about one strike a year. Many Latin American students miss months of school yearly on account of many strikes.
"AVID PARTICIPATION in politics may result from the lack of campus activities but since the students have so much political power, they feel that they ought to use it.
"Being a student is a prestigious situation; one is highly respected and considered the hope of the future.
"Students even have a hand in the election of the chancellors and the deans of their schools." Miss Gillespie, a Spanish major, said.
"There are no dormitories at the University of Costa Rica," she said, "therefore, we, like all the other students, lived off campus in homes of families."
Since there is no established university or campus community, the cafeteria is the social capitol of the student body, she said. It was the central meeting place for students.
"Dancing, drinking a coke and chatting about philosophical and po-
Two Co-eds on Board Of National Magazine
"I had seen the advertisements around the campus and in "Mademoiselle" magazine and often thought of entering the guest editorship contest," said Lynn Payer, Wichita sophomore. "Knowing my pledge mother, Nancy, was on the college board spurred me on."
Miss Payer and Nancy Razak, Wichita junior, are members of the college board of "Mademoiselle" magazine.
Each year "Mademoiselle" sponsors a guest editorship contest. It is open to undergraduate women, under 25 years old, enrolled in college. A contestant may enter a project in writing, art, fashion, advertising and other related fields.
IF THE FIRST project a girl submits passes the contest committee, she is automatically a member of the college board. Miss Razak wrote a story about her summer job as a reporter for the Wichita Eagle-Beacon for her first entry. This fall Miss Payer submitted a story on the student-faculty relations at KU.
Once on the college board, a girl may try for one of the 20 guest editorships. As a guest editor she would spend the month of June in New York City to help edit the August issue of the magazine. Miss Payer is presently working on her second project, "My Identity Crisis." It is an art project in animated form depicting the problems a freshman faces in college life.
AS MEMBERS OF the "Mademoiselle" college board, Miss Payer and Miss Razak will receive questionnaires from the magazine throughout the year. The questionnaires cover various topics and are used by the magazine editors in writing stories for readers.
Last year Miss Razak helped conduct a survey about smoking on college campuses. The survey was taken shortly after the Surgeon General's report on smoking was released. It was also after the removal of the cigarette machines from campus property, she said. The story on smoking appeared in the August, 1964, issue of "Mademoiselle."

litalic issues were common. I even cut classes at times to enjoy the fun there." Miss Gillespie said.
"THE MAJOR SOCIAL activity of the year," she continued, "is University Week which comes after the first semester's finals. There are parades, queen contests, parade floats, fireworks, talent shows and dances every night. The purpose is to have fun; we do."

Elvis Presley and the Beatles were popular, she said, but at most parties Latin-American music and dances prevailed.
"We danced to improvised songs about our sunburns and other trivial things. We just had fun!" she said.
"I will never forget the many things I learned and the fun that I had," Miss Gillespie said. "An advantage is that we were a group and we did not go through the program alone.
"Alone it would have been more difficult. But being together we could always comfort each other whenever we got homesick. It was a family-like atmosphere where we enjoyed our experiences together; where we compared and shared them with each other."
Rock Chalk's Work Begins
A new floor show opened last night at the Red Dog Inn, "Samson and Delilah."
Rehearsals for the Rock Chalk Revue, March 5 and 6, are being held by Kappa Sigma and Kappa Alpha Theta at the local night club.
"We felt that the place lended itself well to our rehearsals because of the floor space and the high ceilings," said Ed Bachofer, Salina senior and director of the skit.
Twenty members of the cast and chorus attended the first rehearsal last night.
Block drawings for seating arrangements for the Rock Chalk Revue, to be held in Hoch Auditorium, are now in the planning stages The dates for the drawing will be announced later.
There are relatively few production difficulties. The group is using a record player for their rehearsals rather than live music, and rehearsals will be held every night until the production date unless a band is appearing at the establishment.
