Gunn Lundberg, a 19 - year - old
Swedish girl who came here "just
to learn English" is sponsored by
the Experiment in International
Learning, an international group
which attempts to promote under-
. standing among the peoples of the
world b y exchange studentships.
Students under this plan are requir-
ed to live in homes in the countries
where they are studying in order
to gain a better understanding of
life there.
"I was allowed to bring $100 out
of Sweden," said Gunn. "Now I live
with an American family and in
return for room and board I take
care of their children and help the
pother.'
The blonde Gunn came from
Stockholm and spent three months
in New England before coming here
for a year's study on a Rice scholar-
ship.

ment.
Benedicte Pons, Conrad Schlum-

an old friend of Dr. Moraud, head
of Rice's French Department.
Benedicte, living in the women's
dorms, confessed that she had ex-
pected a few cowboys and less big
city atmosphere from Houston. "And
you need a car!" she sighed and
was heartily echoed by the other
foreign students.

Foreign Students
Enrolled At Rice
By Allyce Tinsley Cole
A German physicist, a French graduate student in English,
a German 'architect, a Norweigian special graduate student,
and a Swedish student studying English are the newest addi-
tions to the ranks of foreign students studying at Rice on
ientation officer there. "When I
arrived in America I went to Duke
University for a five week course
introducing about forty students
from 15 nations to the United
States.
"This summer, I hope not only to
go west to California and Oregon,
but I also hope to get up to Pennsyl-
vania. I am told that parts of Penn-
sylvania are very like my home of
Stuttgart and that the speech is re-
lated to the German spoken in
Stuttgart," Joi-eg said. He is study-
ing architecture here on a govern-
ment scholarship.
Gustav Beckmann, tall, red hair-
ed, and twenty, came from his home
in the Ruhr Valley on a Dutch ship.
"I have been here two weeks to the
minute," said the young physics ma-
jor in his clipped British accent.
"I have been told that it is possible
to hitchhike over the United States,
and I hope to see America in this
manner next summer."
In addition to a government stu-
dentship, Beckmann is also spon-
sored by the Institute of Interna-
tional Education.

Fresh out of Bivalve, N. J., he arrived on the campus
bug-eyed and his big mouth hanging open. He was
immediately sucked into a "shell game" and found
himself making all the quick-trick cigarette tests.
But his native instinct told him that such an
important item as cigarette mildness couldn't
be tossed off lightly. Millions of smokers
everywhere have discovered, too, that there's but
one true test of mildness.
It's the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel
Mildness.Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke...on a pack-after-pack
basis. No snap judgments! Once you've tried
Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for
Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why.
