highest scholarship and activities
participation is honored with a
gold cup.
Foreign Coed
Plans Career
In Teaching
When Maria Fontes, graduate
student from Brazil, arrived at
the University she probably had
misgivings about the loneliness
and largeness of a strange coun-
try.
But much to her surprise, she
met five other coeds here from
widely scattered corners of the
world with whom she had much in
common.
All are taking practically the
same courses and are planning to
return to their respective homes.
EACH IS HERE on a scholar-'
ship. Each is studying at the Eng-
lish Language Institute. All for-
merly taught English in their
home countries and plan to re-
turn to teaching.
The rest of the sextet in-
cludes: Juanita Rodrigues and
Bethel Amaro from Puerto Rico,
Yu Khan-Lin from China, Egla
Gooden from Panama and An-
gelca Rojas from Peru.
Miss Fontes, who expects to re-
ceive her masters degree in lin-
guistics next month, will return
to Brazil to teach English in sec-
ondary schools.
* * *
BEFORE COMING to Michigan
last fall, Miss Fontes had taught
English at an American school in
Rio de Janiero. This school is one
of very few in Brazil which fol-
lows the American educational'
system, she stated.
According to Miss Fontes, the
preparatory schools in Brazil
are run by the government. A
specific program of studies
which provides for no electives,
must be pursued by each stu-
dent.
Upon matriculation each stu-
dent must have decided upon his
course of study and follow the pro-
gram that is mapped out for him.
Students live at home, because
there are no dormitories. A col-
lege education is much cheaper
there, she said, since tuition totals
only about $20 per year, although
books are just as expensive as they
are at Michigan.
