In answer to questions about
Latin-American relations, she re

between the countries would in all
probability be much closer and
the bonds of friendship and co

Dynamic Postwar Plan
Forßeturning Soldiers
A dynamic postwar program in
which battle-toughened men can
throw their emotional and phys:-
ical strength was urged on Amer
ica today by Edward Abramson,
instructor in sociology at the Col
lege.
"Men who have seen the blood,
sweat, and terror of combat will
not be able to settle back into the
humdrum existence of daily rou
tine," the Penn State sociologist
said.
"They will need a challenging
outlet," he added, "for the tough
physical and emotional condition
ing instilled in them by military
training and discipline."
Pointing out that servicemen re
turning to their homes in Europe
and Asia will have vast amounts
of rehabilitation work to occupy
them, Abramson emphasized that
this nation has suffered little de
struction from the war and can
offer little•in the way of challeng
ing. jobs for veterans.
"What we need," he asserted, "is
a new frontier—a dynamic pro
gram of internationalism—any
thing that challenge•the imag,;-
inations of our servicemen. We
might even set about the task of
rebuilding our own nation—elimi
nating social inequalities, and
tackling the economic . problems
which imperil our democratic in
stitutions." 4 ' NS

gained during the past six months
is a necessary part of any girl's
training, and it is not customary
for Costa Rican girls to have this

"Everyone has been so helpful

Keyser were appointed to senate
positions by WSGA, announced
[ Patricia Diener, WSGA president.
Miss Devecka will be independent
' senator, and the post of junior
senator goes to Miss Keyser.

the long line at breakfast in Ath
erton that makes so many coeds
either late for their eight o'-
clocks or miss their breakfasts.
Some action will be taken to
alleviate this situation.

tigation, WSGA found that many
of the recent small fires in Ath

putting thir ashes in partly filled
waste paper baskets or near oth
er inflammable materials.
