"For instance," he ;said. "in Tanganyika it is con sidered indecent for girls to wear shorts Men do, but never girls," he said. He also said he was having trouble understanding wh y Americans shake hands so sel dom. "In Tanganyika, evecyone shakes hands on meeting," he said. He added that not to shake hands was considered rude. However, Madete said that some of his African tribal customs :would be considered odd here. "There are some customs which we would like to lose," he said. He gave as an example the cus tom of never shaking hands with one's mother-in-law or- touching her in any way. Madete has entered the Univer-, sity with advanced standing be cause of the extensive schooling, he has had in Tanganyika. He ex-, plained that in his country, one; ordinarily spends eight years at secondary school and another twos yors at an intermediate school' before attending a university.

PENNSYLVANIA Media Coubi Fitstio 321 West Beaver Ave State College ' Prexy Receives Lefler of Thanks From Midshipman Although the midshipmen, of !Annapolis suffered defeat at the hands of the Nittany Lions, they nevertheless appear grateful for the reception ac corded them by Penn Staters. Two "middies" expressed their gratitude via the U.S. mail. Prexy recently received a letter from Midshipman Second Class Peter B. Savage. It seems that Midshipman Sav age "lost his hat" at a jam ses sion in Pollock Dining Hall when a ramburictious frosh borrowed it. In his letter to Walker, Savage expressed gratitude for the Penn State hospitality and for the as sistance he received from several students in relocating his chapeau. The students had replaced Sav age's lost hat with one belonging to a Penn State NROTC man and had taken up a collection to de fray the expenses of a new hat. However, in the nick of time, Savage's hat was recovered and he started his bus ride to Mary land with "hat in hand." Savage concluded his letter by saying, "The outcome of the foot ball game was not exactly as he had hoped it would be but it was a hard and fairly fought contest on both sides. I know the entire Brigade looks forward to the next meeting of our two schools on the playing field." Several fraternities also received letters of thanks from the "mid dies." The letters expressed apprecia tion for Penn State hospitality, Penn State parties and Penn State women. Itobertshaw-Fulton Co.
