EDITOR'S NOTE: Miss Ilze Pur-
lnalis is presently studying Indian
history at Delhi University ,on a
Student government Council schol-'
arship. Durdng this year she will be
writing articles, and sending pho-
tographic features. Later, she will
be showing slides, and talking
about her experiences in Delhi. The
following are parts of her first open
letter to the campus.
Our world has been becoming
smaller and smaller %by means of
technological advancements; this
is obvious to all of us.
Likewise, we .are realizing that
along with improvements in con-
munications between counitries
and continents there must also be
a growth of mutual understand-
ing and respect among the peoples
inhabiting those physical areas.
This has becomp a mfajor chal-
lenge of our age.
Our Student Government Coun-
cil has long been aware of this
challenge, and this year has start-

ed a new program in hopes of
developing closer ties between the
United States and India.
At this time I would like to
share with you some of my first
impressions of Delhi.
Cities Fascinating
The old city Delhi and the new
capital city of India, New Delhi,
together make a fascinating place.
They symbolize one of the most
outstanding characteristics of In-
dia today - the constant con-
trast between the old and the new.
At times, the old and the new ex-
ist together in perfect harmony;
at times there is a definite con-
flict between the two.
Certainly the area of the state.
buildings in. New Delhi is a re-
sult of marvelous planning and
can vie with any in the world.
Likewise in New Delhi is what
could be compared to a shopping
center except it is more inclusive.

The whole shopping and restau-
rant area has been developed in
a circular manner with an inside
and outside circle. However, right
off from this is an old-time way
bazaar - a street lined with open
wooden stalls.
Appear Colorful
Delhi's streets present a very
colbrful aspect. In the first place,
the traffic appears to be com-
pletely impossible. According. to
the rules, one should drive on the
left hand side, but perhaps be-
cause there is no line everybody
considers the whole street his own.
As a result, it is really a chal-
lenge and a skill to drive, ride a
bicycle, or even walk across a
street!
Enjoys Variety
I really enjoy the variety of ve-
hicles or conveyances that are
used here. Bicycles and motorcy-
cles are both very popular, and

there are also quite a few cars,
mostly the small "foreign" varie-
ty. However, there are some
American brands around attract-
ing usually quite a bit of atten-
tion since they look oversized
among all the little "bugs." Buti
while the cars whiz by, carts
drawn by buffalo amble by as
they have for ages. Horse drawn
carts are common also.1
For public conveyances there are
taxis which are *usually driven by1
the turbaned and bearded Sikhs,
who certainly add class to that
transportation. There are also
public buses, usually very crowded,
but otherwise economic means of
transportation. They do not have
much of a time-table, or if they
do, they don't seem to follow it.
There are also "scooters," essen-
tially motorcycles drawing small
wagons; horse drawn carriages;
and rickashaws, which are usually
propelled by a bicycle.
Mentions Cows
No street scene in India could
be completed without the men-
tion of the sacred cow. They walk
the streets and even lie down in
the middle of the traffic at their
leisure. However, they are more
common in Delhi than New Delhi.
In New Delhi, I have even found
some signs prohibiting buffalo
traffic on some streets. Modern
civilization is becoming quite ag-
gressive.
The major thing of any place
is, of course, the people. Just
watching people on the street one
is impressed with the variety --
in features, dress, and well-being.
Attire is varied to the point that
there doesn't seem any limit to
what one could wear.
However, more than anything I
have appreciated and enjoyed the
hospitality of the Indian people.
Wherever I have turned, I have
found helpfulness and friendli-
ness.
So much for first impressions;
now I would like to see how much
I cani go beyond them.
So, in the remaining nine or
ten months, I shall try and find
the "Real India" for me, and I
will also attempt to convey as
much as I can of it to you.
