Candy is a rare thing in Vietnam and soon became the by-word of the yOunger set as the Colonel's flock con tinued to multiply. Cans Fascinate Vietnamese By LYNNE CEREFICE An empty metal peanut can is almost useless in the United States, but in the small Asian country of Vietnam this shiny, colorful object serves as a passport to any native village. According to U. Col. William C. Pelton, who spent 14 months in Vietnam with the United States Military Advisor and Assistance Group, the Vietnamese natives will do almost anything to ac quire a peanut can. This, he said, is a rare treasure in their eyes. l{owe•er, peanutF, are not a part of the standard Vietnamese diet, Pelton described the stan dard menu as consisting of steamed rice with beans moulded in the shape of a mound and boil ed chicken. A dish of fresh fruits, chosen for their color, freshness and rarity, is sometimes placed at each end of the table, he said. And the standard beverage is white rice wine. The Vietnamese people aro also superstitious. "In the minds of the natives, the countryside is inhabited by supernatural spirits," Peiton said. He said that they believe some spirits hide among the thickets while others take refuge under neath the fig or banyan trees. Still others are said to establish themselves upon small mounds of earth which dominate the routes leading to and from the villages, he added. "To honor these spirits," he said, "the natives sometimes hang a pot of lime on a branch or place it at the foot of a tree." Pelton explained that the most impor tant spirit is the village or guar dian spirit.

In March of 1957 Cabinet ap proved the committee's report which contained recommendations designed to alleviate some of the problems of purchasing books and to keep the BX open all year. The committee questioned both the _administration and the State College bookstores and found that part of the problem students ran into in getting required texts stemmed from the professors and College heads themselves. Accord ing to the report, professors were to have the lists of books required for their courses in the hands of the bookstores at least GO days before the beginning of the semes ter. However, the committee re ported that usually these lists weren't in until about one monfh before the new semes ter, and often not even that soon. "In the `top-ten' schools, lists for the fall term are submitted to the stores for ordering on June LUTHERAN STUDENT LENTEN COMMUNION WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22, 6:45 A.M. in GRACE CHURCH BREAKFAST FOLLOWS IN THE, CENTER John Bowles AD 8-6814 - TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1961 1," the committee said. "According to the managers of the downtown bookstores," the report said, "late and absent lists cause many cases of overstocking or not ordering books at all. At the end of the 1957 spring semes ter book rush, the Athletic store had $35,000 worth of overstocked books." The committee recommended that the existing University rule on submitting book lists 60 days prior to the semester be en forced by the administration in a manner to meet the needs of the students, bookstore owners and professors. In addition the committee recommended that a full-time manager be hired to run the exist ing Book, Exchange. The report noted that there is an inadequate BX schedule during exam periods when students most need the fa cilities, and such an arrangement would aid in solving this problem.
