Pan-American Prize Winner
Selects State For Schooling
"The mountainous landscape here is marvelous, just like my home."
With this in mind, Martha Bascope Vargas, Bolivian winner of a Pan-
American scholarship, selected Penn State when she was offered a
choice of all the colleges in the United States.
In 1942 Martha wrote an essay on "What Inter-American Coop
eration Means to My Country," for an inter-American student forum
contest. As grand-prize winner of
this contest, Martha came to
Washington, D. and eventually
to Penn State to stydy 'Chemistry.
While in. Washington Martha
came to the College on a visit,
and as she exclaims, she was so
impressed witih the beauty of the
campus that she decided to enroll
here this semester.
• The Bolivian toed modestly
considers._herself..?very lucky" ,in
winning the scholarshiii. AlthOugh
she enjoys her classes, she miss
es the high altitude of her own
country, and "esneCially my moth
er." "My English isn't very fine,"
she apologizes, but, she often talks
in her native language with Lilia
Sangueiro, a Bolivian graduate

ested in chemistry, Martha hopes

to minor in journalism, which is
a' pioneer field for women in her
country. While still in high school
in Bolivia, ishe wrote for the
school paper, and translated En
glish and German articles.
Trying her tongue at American
slang, the South American coed
says, "Not all students have the
opportunity to study in America,
but I think it's swell."
One of the first highlights in
Martha's trip to this country was
her four-day ride from Bolivia
by Pan-American plane, which
afforded her first glimpse of the
sea. "You know," Martha pointed
out, "my country is surrounded by
land, and although we have beau
tiful Lake Titicaca, we are now
where near the sea. Flying over
the ocean was very thrilling."
