It is the night on which all independent women gather for an evening of fun and to honor outstanding coeds and dorms. A skit is pre- pared by each independent resi- dence and a gold cup is awarded to the group whose playlet is se- lected as the best by a board of judges. Mary Markley was last year's winner. Honors are presented to the coeds in each class who have at- tained outstanding records of scholarship and extra-curricular activities. The dorm with the 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.
