Hawaiian
By'Maty .Stark „
• Penn State has.a father cosmopolitan ‘ campus. Situated as it is,
in a town noted-for its inaccessibility, the,. College has managed to
attract - people from distant places. Speakers for special, occasions and
students also come' from different towns, different states, and difr
ferent countries. V . -•
.' One of the latest long-distanbe arrivals at State is Ruth Sugfhara,
a 22-year-old graduate of the University of Hawaii, and a native of
Honolulu.. ■ .. ■
Ruth flew from Hawaii id tubs
Angeles to Denver to Kansas City
to Chicago. At Chicago she
changed from airplanes to trains
and journeyed to Indianapolisr,
transferring there /for a train to
Altoona. At Altoona she was "met
by Dr. Nell Murphy, Mrs. Appy,
Dr/ Agnes' McElwee, and,.Edith
Geuther of State College.- ;/' s ?. c .
.(At the end/of her' trip,-./Ruth'
found herself/accommodated in
428,Simmons, ah'sabout-to-be.stp
dent at Penn State#. > ' t
.. First .TV Show v
Ruth typed a hilarious, detailed
description of her trip jn' a! seven
page letter, of which-she mimeo
graphed 30 copies in ,order to save
needless duplication .in writing.
These copies she .sent /to her
friends at /-home, so: they /would
know as-much.as possible about
her trip.
Her first look at. television was
in . Santa Barbara. Arid her-first
lonely evening on the “mainland,”
i as Ruth call's the States, was spent
in a “dinky” hotel room iri Den
ver, with an Archie comic book as
company.
While in Independence, Mo., she
and some of her friends drove to
see President Truman’s home. Joe
Louis was a fellow passenger on
the plane Ruth'took from Kansas
City to Chicago.- And Chicago/
Ruth said, was “really dirty.” .
Food-Variety ' .
Ruth was met at all the differ
ent stop-overs by. friends, of hers
from Haiwaii who. are now living
in the United-States. They showed
her the outstanding attractions of
the cities in which they lived,’
Served some good home-style Ja
panese-cooking,, and put -her/-on
the plane or .train for the next lap
of her journey. ' ,
While Ruth is of Japanese des
cent, and enjoys Japanese food,
she says that Hawaii has/as many
different foods as ; it has. racial
groups. The islands would be
heaven for a gourmet..
Although the food, customs, and
religious sects in Hawaii-are quite
varied', due to immigration of va
rious peoples, many of the manu
factured products come from the
mainland/ Hawaii; is “American
ized”rin material things as"well as
in /-political affairs, Ruth" said. “I
feel.that we are qualified, to be
come the 49th state'and'hope that
Congress does-something about it
in': the near future.”.

Hawaiians. They are -given/ along
with a;kiss, to anyone celebrating
a /special occasion.-In her scrap
book Ruth has a picture of herself:

,says,.-prints so common to Hawaii.
' -This is her first chance to buy, a
winter wardrobe for -Hawaii has
only -one'climate, and .that, is a
warm/ comfortable temperature.
Ruth has never seen snow and is
“anticipating winter, but dread
ing\the:coMj”„' - -
%-':Siiice-:itV'is impossible-to.-go to
Hawaii in the middle of-the school
year, Ruth has. brought a bit of
her home to : the campus. ’
. ; .Sh'e?vhas'with;her 150 slides and
five /rolls of 16 mm. film oh many
Hawaiian events, among them
Buddhist celebrations, the Flower
Festival, May Day, and . Aloha
Week. Aloha, by the way, means

bye,’/- to"“I love you”—all depend
ing on how and when it is used.
. Enjoys Work
She also has literature-from the
University of Hawaii,'which she
will lend to anyone interested.
Ruth chose to come to Penn
State for her graduate work in
elementary education because of
the influence of her supervisor,

teaching. Dr. Heagy received her
doctor’s degree here in 1950.
