THE DASCOLA BARBERS Between State and Mich. Theaters ContinuousM. COOLi SPANISH NOT NECESSARY: Latin-American Life "Knowing Spanish is not the prin- cipal prerquisite for landing a job in Latin America," George Hall, as- sistant to the. director of the Inter- national Center, said in a speech before the Spanish Club yesterday in the Grand Rapids Room of the League. Hall described Americans in the United Fruit Company Divisions in the Tropics and the social life there. He pointed out that there are three main racial groups; the white, the negro, and the mestizo, who are a mixture of Indian and Spanish. "So- ciety in the United Fruit Company Divisions in Panama is all divided into two classes, the whites being' the first class and the negroes and Mes- tizo, the second class," he said. Hall commented on the beauty and pageantry of the fiestas patronales, which is the patron saint day that inaugurates the three day carnival or mardi gras. Even though originally these celebrations were entirely reli- gious, he said that they have now be- come festive occasions. "At such times they have cock fights, bull fights, athletic meets, group horse back riding and dances. Since each town has a separate pat- ron saint, and all the towns try to pick saints whose day of celebration falls during the dry season, it is possible for one to attend five or six of these festivities in an interval of about four months," Hall added. Probably the most important event at these celebrations, he said, was the election of the queen. There is usu- ally intense rivalry among all the beautiful girls of the village at such times. The queen is elected by popu- lar vote. These votes are sold for a nickle apiece. He said that you nev- er find a poor girl being queen. The money collected is used to pay for the expenses of the holiday. "These festivities have aroused the curiosity of the Americans and has been one means of introducing Am- ericans to the colorful customs of the Latins," he stated. "Even though I claim that Panama is the cross roads of the world, Miss Canadian CatholicH Clergymen Study Health Education Here Catholic clergymen of six orders, studying at the School of Education, form the first group to be sent by the Ministry of Health of the Pro- vince of Quebec, Canada, to study health educationrat United States universities in order to gain the knowledge necessary for teaching this subject competently in Quebec nor- mal schools. Public health nurses are also at- tending the University under the auspices of the Quebec Ministry of Health. They are being trained as Union Offers Free Cards WNW"--- pT7 Ii Last Times Today To ServicemenI As in previous wartime semesters, the Michigan Union offers free mem- bership to servicemen stationed on campus this summer. The holding of a Union card en- titles the serviceman to use of all the Union facilities, including the swimming pool and the billiard tables, gives him a convenient place to cash his checks, and later in the summer will admit him free of charge, to the Union membership dances. These dances are planned for Friday and Saturday nights and will begin in the next few weeks. Registration will begin Tuesday and will continue through Thursday, Aug. 17. Servicemen are asked to register according to the following plan: Victor Vaughan-11:30 a. m.-1 p. m. Tuesday. West Quad-11:30 a. m.-1 p. m. Wednesday. East Quad-11:30 a. m.-1 p. m. Thursday, Aug. 17. Civilian men who have not yet registered and servicemen who can- not sign up at that time may regis- ter in the Union offices from 3 to 5 p. in. any day. health educators and will work among adult groups throughout the Province of Quebec. Problem Attacked at Source "We are getting at the problem at its source by training normal school teachers in public health so that they can transmit the sorely needed knowledge to the student teachers of Quebec," explained Dr. Jules Gilbert, director of health edu- cation of the Province of Quebec, speaking of his task of directing and coordinating the work of the train- ees. The two priests and five teaching brothers now working for their master's degrees in Public Health at the Health Education Workshop of the School of Education, have been graduated from normal schools and have studied a year at Yale Univer- sity. Scholarship Presented The Kellogg Foundation, which is financing the field work in both the nurse and religious groups, has also presented Dr. Gilbert with a schol- arship in the School of Education workshop, so that he takes part in and follows closely the work of the priests and brothers. The Cleveland Health Museum and the Teachers' Institute in Boston are the next stopping places of the cler- gymen in their training program. Nurses Will Visit Institute The nurses; who are now working in the Kellogg community health pro- ject area, will spend a week at the American Medical Association health institute at Chicago. The Rev. Fr. Roland Blondeau, The Rev. Fr. Raymond La Voie, Rev. Br. Joseph Dion, Rev. Br. Gaston L. Quenneville, Rev. Br. Gilles For- tier, Rev. Br. Paul E. Gagnon and Rev. Br. Lucien Plante are the priests and brothers sent by the Ministry of Health. The nurses are Miss R. Aubin, Miss C. Geyette, Miss M. A. Chamard and Miss A. Seguin. Described Elba Molina claims the Puerto Rico is and anyone interested in a more serious discussion of the culture of Latin America can have their ques- tions answered by her at her lecture Wednesday," Hall concluded. Many Negroes Go to Polls In Arkansas LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 8.- (P)-Negro voters turned out in greatly increased numbers today for Arkansas' Democratic primary run- off in which youthful Rep. J. W. Fulbright and 53-year-old Gov. Ho- mer M. Adkins engaged in a bitter contest for Hattie W. Caraway's Sen- atorial seat. The Negro vote was estimated by Dr. J. M. Robinson, president of the Arkansas Negro Democratic Associa- tion, at about 5,000. This turnout compared to only about 900 in the preferential primary two weeks ago in which the new state party rule substituting a party loyalty test for a racial ban was given its first trial. Fulbright, who was removed as president of the University of Arkan- sas in 1943 by a board of trustees named by Adkins, an old political opponent, led a five-candidate field in the first primary in which Sena- tor Caraway, the nation's only wo- man senator, was eliminated. Mrs. Caraway adopted a hands-off policy in the run-off. Prof. Lange To Talk on Soviet, World Politcs Prof. Oscar R. Lange, who re- turned two months ago from a trip to the U.S.S.R. during which he con- ferred with Stalin and other high officials, will lecture at 4:10 p.m., Aug. 21, in the Rakham Amphi- theatre on "Soviet Russia and World Politics." Born in Poland, Prof. Lange was a member of the University of Cra- cow until 1931 when he received a Rockefeller fellowship to study in Great Britain and the United States. He is now a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and has taught previously at Columbia and the University of. California. Prof. Lange's mission to Russia coincided with that of Father Orle- manski in that both of them made the trip to discuss Polish-Soviet re- lations. He has been active in the Russian Economic Institute and this year wrote a treatise on "The Working Principles of the Soviet Economy," which was published by the Research Bureau for Post-War Economics. Among his other published works are "The Economic Theory of Social- ism" and "Economic Conditions in Poland." INVEST IN VICTORY BUY WAR BONDS & STAMPS Highlights On Campus... Slonimsky To Lecture .,.

Trow Lectures On Permanent Army Service "Before accepting permanent com- pulsory military training for eigh- teen year olds after this war, the citizens of this democracy should discuss the problem thoroughly and from every angle," Prof. William Clark Trow, of the School of Educa- tion said yesterday in a University Lecture in University High School auditorium. Arguments Listed "Those military men who advocate a year's compulsory training usually advocate it on other than military grounds. Health, economic and edu- cational arguments are the most common. "Military training will not stop another war. Both France and Rus- sia had military training, which did not prevent Germany from attack- ing them. We already have the ASTP prepared for policing the world, which should make other trainees unnecessary," were two of the argu- ments presented. "Some of the military say that compulsory military training is nec- essary to provide healthful living, vigorous physical, and medical care," Prof. Trow continued. Program Not Inclusive "If tax money is to be spent to recondition men, it would be much wiser to spend that money on- citi- zens during the early part of their lives," he said. "Another point," added Prof. Trow, "is that the Army is for the robust and is tough for the weak fellow."
