Others, too, have asked to bor
row his animals for many rea
sons. He once lent some of his
pets to a friend who wished to at
tract a girl who was apparently
interested only in; nature and
wild life.
Mark has been collecting wild
pets for the past 10 years and
entered the University as a pre
veterinary student.
As a future vocation, Mark
hopes to follow his interest in
nature and wild life by work
ing with the motion picture in
dustry making nature films and
travelogues.
Mark also enjoys drawing car
toons of animals and sees a pos
sibility in this field.
Mark has some advice to give
others who also collect wild ani
mals. He does not believe people
should collect wild pets as a
Novelty and then let them go.
"Animals," Mark says, "come
to depend strongly on their hu
man masters and cannot defend
themselves after several years of
captivity."

Venezuelan's Views:
Overused Freedom
Caused Nixon Riots
The riots that greeted Vice President Richard M. Nixon
on his South American tour in May were "simultaneous
mistakes, made by people not educated to democracy," ac
cording to a visiting Venezuelan professor.
Dr. Juan Gschwendtner, professor of hydrology at Central
University of Venezuela, Cara
cas, said he thought the uprisings
were psychological, rather than
political
"It is easier for people to go
from a democracy to a dictator
ship," he said, "but it is hard
to go from dictatorship to demo
cracy."
Dr. Gschwendtner reasoned
that the South Americans, es•
pecially in Venezuela, had been
suddenly given freedom under
a democratic government and
they were not trained for it. It
gave them a chance to ' make
trouble, he said.
"They were breaking windows
and didn't know why," he said,
commenting, "they took the free
dom too far."
Gschwendtner, a native of ,
Aus
tria, pointed out that the 50 per ,
cent illiteracy in Venez u e l a
spelled the lack of training for a
democracy.
"A democracy must be run
with trained people," he said, "in
contrast to high illiteracy "
"You must have patience
with our people," he urged,
"for they have been living un•
der pressure for so long."
It is exclusively the job of the
professors to bring about the
"democratic training," but a
shortage of teachers is the big
handicap, he added.
Gschwendtner, who studied
nuclear physics and engineering
here la 1956, is closing out a
I brief stay .on campus. He will
'leave early next week for Vene
zuela after stopping in Washing
'ton, D.C.
Town Travel Service
To Hold Open House
Penn State Travel Service will
hold an open house from 3 to 5
p.m. and from 7 to 9 p m. today
in its new quarters, Suite 23 in
the Metzger Building.
Mrs. Bernice John, manager,
said visitors will be show n
through the office. She invited
students to attend.
