PAGE TWELVE 'Captain' Will Retire As Riding Instructor A former officer of the Russian Guard who was nearly executed in the Bolshevik Revolution is ending his career at the University this June. He is Capt. Gregory A. Gagarin, assistant professor of physical education, who has been in charge of the riding stables since his arrival here in 1946. Riding Head To Be Honored At Horse Show The 11th annual Horse Show will be held today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and tomorrow from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Riding Stables. This year's show, in honor of retiring Captain Gregory A Ga garin, will have classes for hunt ers, open jumpers, horsemanship and westerns, The Penn State Riding team, composed of Ann: McKerme, Harvey Worrell, Mary Schmitt and Ronny Travers and a private team of Mary Lynn' Isaacs, Sharon Slone, Lisa Hoopes and Diane Barnhart, will compete, Individually against teams from: the Meer School. Judges will be Mrs. Norton C. Lockhart from the Rosetiee Hunt, Club, and Mr. Jesse Darling, of State College. The Riding Club held a testi monial dinner last night in non or of Captain Gagarin. Dr. Ray Conger, professor of physical ed ucation, was guest speaker for the pi ogi am. Marin to Act as Consultant Dr Joseph Marin, professor and head of the Department of Engi neering Mechanics, has been in vited to serve as a consultant for the Lawrence Radiation Labora tory at the University of Cali fornia. By SANDRA ORTON Gagarin was born in Russia and fought in the Russian Guard in World War I. He left Russia after what he terms his "unsuccessful execution." This incident occurred during the Bolshevik Revolution when the captain was captured and sentenced to death. However, on his trip to the cemetery where he was to be executed, he overcame his guards and managed to escape. His hand carries the scar of the bullet wound he received then. The captain escaped to French occupied Russia where he fought the Bolsheviks with the French cavalry and was decorated for bravery. Next. Gagarin served as inter preter for the British and was sent to Vladivostock. It was here that he met his wife. The captain's courtship covered a great deal of territory for they were engaged in Constantinople and married in Paris. Their first son was born in Weisbaden, Germany. The captain came to the United States in 1924 where he spent his first nights shoveling snow in New York and his days looking for something better. The some; thing better was a job as a riding instructor and he was instructor at several places before taking over the job at Penn State. For 14 years, Gagarin has in structed Penn State students in the art of horsemanship. He has supervised the annual horse show and the riding team which 1 competes at other schools. With his leaving, the future of 'riding here is uncertain. The cap tam says that it is definite that iriding will not be supervised by the Physical Education depart ment as it has been in the past. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA West Spreads Good Will in Vietnam By LOIS RAEOLEY How rewarding it would he to be able to help spread "American Good Will" in for eign countries, Fred West, in structor in the Department of English, said. West, who has recently returned from Vietnam where he worked with the United States Foreign Aid Program as acting director at the Binational Center, accom plished just this. The Binational Center holds classes in English for the Viet namese. There are more than 2000 students enrolled in the center. West said, "The Viet namese children are so anxious to learn to speak English, that they save up their pennies in order to pay the small admis sion fee."

Upon the completion of the course, students are given a diploma which is very important to them. The center also sponsors a cultural exchange program to promote conversation among the students and to show them the American way of life. "It was difficult to introduce danc ing to them because of their re ligious beliefs, but square danc ing proved very effective," West said. The United States supports a public library of English books, and also shows American movies for entertainment. The Vietnamese are more Chi nese in appearance than anything else, according to West.

He spoke of a friend of his who meant to say in Viet namese that he sold his house. but when translated into Eng lish, he had said that he had shot his wife. . "The people seem to be Very pro-American," West said. "They respond enthusiastically to Amer ican friendliness." "Vietnam is important to the United States from a strategic standpoint," he said. South Viet nam is pro-American, but North Vietnam is Communist. It is es sential that the democratic form of government remains in South Vietnam, because if the Com munists take over South Vietnam it may start off a chain reaction including Formosa and South Ko rea.
