Alum's Son
Comes Here
From Brazil
Many students attend their
father’s alma maters, but few
travel as far as Richard Hamer,
son of a Penn State graduate liv
ing in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Born in Montevideo, Uraguay,
he lived there until he was 12.
He then moved to Brazil and at
tended an English board school
in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He said Argentina now is like
Germany was in the 1930’5. He
and his schoolmates were afraid
to say anything against Peron or
his wife, even in English. The
armv took over his school in
1950.
American Citizen
An American citizen, he arrived
in New York about a month ago
where he was surprised to hear
people really saying “boid” and
“Joisey.” He had always thought
that those stories were jokes.
Hamer said he likes the friend
liness of people at State College.
At his Argentine school, class
mates would know each other for
two or three years before calling
each other by first names. Also
in South America, strangers never
speak to each other, even in bars.
But this week, while wearing
his freshman customs, a hatman
spoke ‘to him at the counter in
the Corner Room.
Food Better
He said the food is much bet
:er in the dorms than it was in
