itURSDAI; FEBRUARY 28; 1952 Americans' Activity Astonishes Spaniard By GINGER OPOCZENSKI "To me the most astonishing thing about Penn State students and Americans in general is their great happiness and continua] activity," Arturo Barea, visiting Spanish professor said in an in terview recently. Barea, a native of Spain but now a political exile with his per manent home in. En olan d, isj teaching four advanced Spanish courses. He will remain until I August, and will also teach sum mer courses. • While in England, Barea broad- 1 cast weekly over the British Broadcasting Co. to South Amer ican countries. He is continuing these broadcasts by transcription while in, America. In the most re cent of these broadcasts, which Barea desdribes as "information and propaganda on the English and, now, the American way of life and democracy," he discusses his view of American exuberance. Noisy, Happiness "The thing a traveler from Eur ope immediately notices, without being able ',to help himself, and with a little envy, is the happi neis of the peOple," he says in the transcription. Barea says the happiness is a little noisy - and "exhibitionistic," but it is of a "youthfulness full •of energy." He feels also Amer ican students are more indus trious than European students. Because Barea does not speak English with ease, most of the interview was conducted in Span ish. The quotations from the broadcasts are also translations from the original Spanish. Among his impression of New York, the most vivid was his en counter with the intricate maze of traffic, which he says makes you feel like you're "falling into a moving machine which is trying to devour you." Literary, Critic Barea says he feels perfectly "well-adjusted" in America, and likes the people and the atmos phere very much. But his diges tive system is not yet suited to the rich American meals, he says especially after living in England where he got "one small piece of meat a week." Barea has been literary critic for English newspapers, and has written several books. Among these are three autobiographical volumes which have been trans lated into eight languages. He al so wrote "Lorca". an "The Brok en Root," a novel published in Denmark, the United States, and England.. Another novel, "Struggle for the Spanish Soul," was destroyed in a bombing and was later re-, printed. He is now working on essays on Unamuno, a Spanish writer. Except for two years when he, taught illiterate _soldiers. in the Spanish army to read. Barea has . had no teaching experience. He has traveled in northern Africa, France, Denmark, England„ and throughout Spain Sigma Phi Epsilon New brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon ' are Forrest Blakesley, Thomas Godfrey, William Mc- Calmont, Ted Soens, and Frank Supeno. • Record Hits Just four of the many new hits at the Music Room .

Eitk#l.• New Fabrics Solve Pleat, Wrinkle Worr y Tired of ironing? Want to quit worrying about wrinkles when you wear that best dress on a special occasion? Miraculous time and energy savers are two new fabrics, dac ron and orlon. They are crease, insect, sun, acid, and mildew re sistant; they will take permanent pleats, and they dry in no time at all. Dresses with accordion pleats will stay pleated through many washings; and need no pressing to keep them permanently in place. Arrow dart pockets and skirts with almost no hem present no problems for the new fabrics: A combination of dacron and orlon with familiar materials such as wool makes possible non-sag, light-weight suits which hold their shape for days without wrinkling. A spot of hot Chocolate spilled on the material can be sponged off and left to dry in minutes, leaving the fabric still looking freshly pressed. So, remember, check the label on that cute little number, for although it looks like linen, it may be one of the new wonder ;fabrics.

UNITED STATES ARMY 'Millstream-- (Continued from nage four) weeks have brought us quite a crop of "shout singers." Besides Johnny, Richard Hayes is en joying great popularity with his version of "River, Stay 'Way from My Door." Of course Frankie Leine, the original, is still around. But no other sing er besides Johnny has ever gained popularity by ripping up everything in sight while in the ecctacy of song. With the "shout singers" hold ing sway as the latest trend ,on the ether-waves, the latest trend in the movies is the dumb, sleazy blonde. Two up-coming movies demonstrate this new twist t(.• perfection. In the new Groucho Marx film, "A Girl in Every Port," Marie Wilson plays the type of dizzy blonde she created in "My Friend Irma." In another new film soon Jo play in State College, "Phone ' Call from a Stranger," Shelley Winters plays a cheap blonde strip-teaser. Last year, Judy Holliday's por traYal of the blonde floozie, Billie Dawn, netted her an Academy Award. This year the Oscar might well go to the already mentioned Miss Winters for the playing of another not-so-smart blonde „in "A Place in the Sun." The emplia 7 sis in the latter movie waS, on drama instead of comedy but'the portrait of the not-so-well=edu cated blonde who is usually in hot water is basically the same. Next film in the same , vein will be Betty Grable portraying Lorelei Lee in the movie ver sion of "Gentlemen Pr ef e r Blondes." 1 1 -- : 4. , . , - 1 . <an a;___ ~... ,-, ::::1 ...e,.....
