Most of them follow modern fash-

The standard of living is higher
in U.S.A, than Turkey because we
do not have montly payments. If
you want to buy something, you
have to pay it all at once.
Dating in Turkey occurs mostly
in the day time unless the girls
family and your family are real
good friends. Young people do not
have cars like here unless they
are rich. We do not go to girls
homes and pick them up, they set
the time and place and you meet
them there. 70 per cent of the
parents choose the husband for
their kids in the country. In the
city most of the young people
choose mates for themselves.
I came to the U.S.A. September
24, 1961, for a visit with my second
oldest brother who graduated from
the University of Texas with a de-
gree in petroleum engineering. He
has a Texas wife and two boys.
After staying four months with
them, I liked here very much. My
brother returned to Turkey, and
I stayed here and finished high
school at Hobbs, New Mexico.
I met Mr. Tubb at high school
when he visited us there last year.
I came to South Plains College
because I wanted to go to a Junior
College so I could have better per-
sonal attention for my English, and

We do not use freezing method
for food except meat. It was real
strange, the frozen food, for the
first three-four months, but now
I have gotten use to it and can
eat everything but corn.
I would like to thank all of you
for such a friendly welcome. I do
not think I will miss home any
more.

cur within the next decade. This period of development will be,
marked by great advancements in the conquest of space, new
developments in medicine, the fine arts, education, communica-
tions, travel, engineering and many other fields.
Not since Columbus crossed the Atlantic has there been so
many rapid advancements in man's conquest of new discoveries
and ideas. The space age is upon us!
America faces a great shortage of trained and educated peo-
ple to man key positions. All phases of the American society are
searching for well-qualified personnel. Workers who are willing

aboard this mushrooming bandwagon of success. The college has
the physical plant, the administrative staff and the faculty to of-
fer as good a basic education as any college in the Southwest.
A student who puts forth his best effort and receives a bal-
anced education may soon find himself climbing the ladder to a
successful career in the near future!

My name is Mehmet Nur Olcay,
just call me ‘Turk.” I am a
foreign student from Ankara, Tur-
key, which is the capital city of
Turkey.
There are many differences in
Turkish and American ways, cus-
toms, education, and language.
High schools are called Lycee in
Turkey. It is a complete three
years of study. We do not have
a choice of subjects to be taken.
They are chosen by the Ministry
of National Education for 9th, 10th,
and 11th grades.
The required years and subjects of
schools in Turkey are: three years
of Algebra, five years of chemis-
try, five years of physics, five
years of literature (World and
Turkish), five years of history, two
years of geometry, six years of
geography, five years of composi-
tion five years biology, three years
military training, one year astron-
omy, one year psychology, one
year sociology, two years history
of art, five years physical educa-
tion, and helping courses in Eng-
lish, German, French, and music.
A School term is eitht months
and if one passes all of the
courses, he will have attained nine
points. If one can not pass in a
regular school term, he has one
more chance at the spring time. If
he can not pass that time, he has
to take them all over again. We
have three kinds of schools: boys,
girls, and co-ed.
We do not have too many col-
leges in Turkey. If one wants to
attend college there, he must take
an entrance examination. Most of
the time from 5 to 6 thousand
pupils take this test and only 200-
250 students are chosen. There is
no charge for college if you are
chosen, you only pay for your
books.
In the Eastern part of Turkey,
most women dress in long blue
cotton coat worn over baggy red,
blue, or green cotton trousers,
with a white, flowing head dress
under which they can hide their
faces. The head dress is a Moslem
habit and is worn also to protect
the women’s complexion.
Dressing is different between
cities and rural areas. City worn-

Today, I took an early stroll
And walked up a little knoll.
The grass was wet with due
Or was it, do or maybe dew?
I stood under a low bough
Does milch come from a cough?
The farmer walked behind a
plough
Why don’t he use a tractor
nough?
I though I saw a dear
Or was it a deare or deer?
I discovered it was a honey
tree.
Was I stung by bee, be, or b?
If a cow drinks from a troff,
Haven’t we had about enoff?
