So a close friend describes Mai, Lan Lee, vice-president of the In-I ternational Students Association, In the two years that Mai Lan has been at the University, the 21- year-old senior from Hong Kong, China, has won the friendship and respect of co-workers at the International Center and the many people on campus with whom she has come in contact. The slender, dark haired Mai Lan.was well acquainted with the Center when she received the vice-presidential position in Ap- ril, 1955. Previously she had rep- resented the Center on ISA Rep- resentative Council and worked with SGC's Human Relations Committee. Center Experience With a characteristic quick smile, Mai Lan describes her ex- perience at the Center as "a lot of work; but I have enjoyed every minute of it. Here I have worked with many interesting people, gotten to know them well and now have them as friends." she says in her straight-forward man- ner. From her work at the Center Mai Lan says she has learned to "organize and co-ordinate." As vice-president her task was to co- ordinate 14 separate committees. One of the problems Mai Lan encountered was foreign integra- tion in the U.S. After a moment of serious thought Mai Lan com- ments: "They always ask the for- eign student why he can't inte- grate. They never ask the Ameri- can student why he doesn't inte- grate." Dating vities.

Roommate, Cynthia Hamlin, who probably knows Mai Lan bet- ter than anyone, else, describes her as "a human dynamo." "It's like living with a Bendix," Miss Hamlin declares. "She thinks and acts completely as an individual. I have never seen a girl with such a wonderful sense of humor; we have a riot." Great Scope of Knowledge Like many other international students at the University, Mal Lan has a tremendous scope of knowledge, Miss Hamlin remarks. "Shercan talk on anything from geography to baseball." Mai Lan lived in Shanghai for 10 years, then moved to Hong Kong. While attending an English preparatory school there she learned to speak English. To learn additional expressions and to im- prove her pronunciataion Mai Lan became an avid movie-goer. The alert-looking coed got her first taste of American college life at Grinnel College ,Grinnel, Iowa After two years at this small col- lege she came to the University because it "had much more avail- able to study and a greater variety of interests." Smiling in her friendly, natural manner she con- tinues, "Here I have a chance to meet someone new everyday." Contrasts American Life Contrasting American life with Chinese life she recalled that her' people are "a face-saving people," emphasizing modesty and polite- ness; while American life empha- sizes "time-saving." As for the future, Mai Lan shrugs and laughs, "It's pretty indefinite, but I'd like to go home and see my family within the next few years. After graduation in June she'd like to "go into some area of personnel work, prefer- ably where they need a Far East- ern representative." -Daily-charles Curtiss MARSHALL FRANKE DAVID GRUPE CURRENTLY PLAYING: Language Clubs Sponsor Foreign Comedies, Film Two one act comedies "La Ga- guere Imprevue," and "L'Apollon de Bellac will be presented in French at 3:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. tomorrow at, the Lydia Mendels- sohn theatre, by le Cercle Fran- cais. "L'Apollon de Bellac," a modern fantasy b5y Jean Giradoux re- volves around the idea that ev- ery human, no matter how ugly, thinks that he has some direct bond with beauty, and is bound- lessly grateful to anyone who seems to see this beauty through the ugliness. Agnes, a young girl looking for work, played by Christine Jaffe, discovers this theory of human nature, and proceeds to transform an administration by telling all the men she deals with, "How beautiful you are!" She eventually charms even the president of the organization played by Jean Carduner of the French department. 18th &ntury Comedy In contrast to the Giradoux fantasy is the shorter "La Gaguere Imprevue," an 18th century com- edy by Sedaine.
