Mexican Transfer
Chem-Eng Student
Relies On Dictionary
By M. J. WINTER '44
With an English-Spanish dic
tionary under her arm, Elsa
Perez-Castaneda strolls to classes
and has little difficulty under
standing her professors.
The Mexican coed, a senior in
chemical engineering, studied
English before coming to Penn
State, but is afraid persons here
have more trouble trying to
understand her than she has in
learning from them.
Having received four year's
training at Monterrey, Mexico,
Elsa will complete her studies
here on a Pennsylvania Federa
tion of Women's Clubs' scholar
ship for Latin American women.
A Mexican student must take an
additional year at a university to
receive a degree after a prelim
inary fora• years.
According to Elsa, many Mexi
can coedS study engineering,
medicine, law, chemistry, and
physics, so she finds Penn State
a little different.
Dormitory food here is unlike
Mexican dishes, according to the
new student. Young goats and
various fruits are served in the
country.
"The . meat at home is prepared
differently, and we always had
our large meal at noon," she said.
"I am getting used to your system,
however."
Dressed in typically American
clothes, Elsa said that Mexican
costumes with vivid colors and
spangled embroidery- are. a worn
only on holidays and festivals.
When interviewed, she wore
hui•aches, a style borrowed from
her country. Hers were of more
intricate. design, decorated with
colored figures.
Unlike the American idea of a
Mexican woman, the coed does
little Mexican dancing.
"I used to do, those dances," she
said.. "but I have no time now."
Elsa arrived at the College a
week ago after a seven-day trip
by train. She hopes to return to
Mexico and work for a petroleum
company after a year here.
