"The United States is like a Shang-
ri-la for the people in South America;
"We always talk about the United
States," Stelio Moraes, who has just
arrived at the University from Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil to study landscape
architecture, said in an interview
recently.
He said he had expected to find
the American people cold and un-
willing to help others but that so far
he has found exactly the opposite
to be true. The first opinion, he ex-

plained, is probably due to the fact
that most Americans who go to Bra-
zil do not know Portuguese and
therefore appear distant.
Speaking of Argentina, he said,
"To us in Brazil, Argentina has
proved to be a great disillusion. We
thought that they had a good and
stable government, but now we see
that they have not."
He compared the climate in Rio to
that in Miami and termed the people
