Former Coed Writes

the Brazilian border. It took us four
days to get there traveling the first
day and a hnlf by train tho rest by
bont. We played games when we
weren't looking for snakes or mon-
keys or anything that might pop up.
Tho rest of the time were were in
long narrow dug outs (boats) rowed
by the famous bush negro.
"Our party was composed of five;
two of us sat in one boat and three
in another. Including the guides nnd
our cook wo were ten in all. The
little boats are called 'corials.' Wo sat
in very comfortable canvas chairs
with backs In a row nnd a bush negro
snt on the stern with a paddle and
on tho bow stood two negroes with
long poles taking turns pushing poles
into the cieek giving the boat more
speed as wo were going upstream.
It Is only In the rainy season that
boats are allowed to go so far bo
cause in tho dry season the creeks are
cmpletely dry.
If Drey should have business in the
dry season he would have to walk
50 kilometres. This time we came
within nine kilomctics of our gold
mine with our boats.
"What to mo was most thrilling was
the time when we had to camp right
in the middle of a jungle. The camp
firo was beautiful. While the men
were making camp we nil sat around
waiting for good soup and then to an
early bed.
After all was quiet wo could hear
the deep terrible cry of tho baboons
Tho first time I heard it I nearly
jumped out of my skin. They were
howling the whole night but we were
two sleepy to listen more than nn
hour and of course tho next morn-
ing we wero up by daybreak. Tho
gold mine wns very interesting. Of-
ficials prohibited cameras and insist-
ed on examine the party before leav
ing.
"It took us one dny less to return
to Paramaribo as we went down
stream. As soon ns we were back
here five days we started on another
trip. This time Drey and I. Drey
went to study the rice situation in
a very thriving community on tho
British Guineu border in New Nick'
erie Netherland Guinea. On this trip
we saw hundreds of flamingos dark
red orange perfectly thrilling they
fly so high. It makes mo a littlo sad
to see bo many with cut wings. (The
wing cutting is to get tho beautiful
feathers for commercial reasons)."
At the time this letter was writ
ten tho Van Assenderps were living
in Paramaribo Dutch Guinea. How-
ever recently they have moved to the
thriving rice community mentioned in
her letter at Now Nickerie near the
British Guinea border.

that comes only from one who has
dealt successfully with people in all
fields of activity and on every con
tinent of tho globe. Ho has traveled
the world over nnd found mankind tho

Blond or brunetto? Smooth or shy?
Sophisticated or dewcy-eyed? Littlo
or big? Intellectual or intriguing?
Athletic or arty? Giddy or glamor-L
ous?
Just how docs the average Joe or
Judy Collcgo prefer his (or her) gal
or boy friend? Now that Sadie Haw-
kins week is coming on we thought
it would be sorta interesting to know
everybody's preferences nlong that
line. However fashions in current
flames arc about ns changenblo as a
professor's good graces and last
year's favorite blond doll with tho
llttlc-girl look nnd tho clinging vine
technique may be this year's forgot-
ten woman with a big brunetto in a
Brooks type sweater and a smooth
lino wearing his fraternity pin in-
stead. Men arc funnyl
However tho same might bo said
about tho weaker sex because gosh
only knows (any boy will tell you)
how often a girl changes her mind.
Ono season she mny prefer a big
husky bnckf ieldcr who's about ns sub
tlo as n freight train and the next
minute she mny favor a smoothie
with long eyelashes and a Tyrone
Power profile.
Just the same we've tried to dig
up the lntcst dopo for you on what
makes the average university boy or
girl's heart flutter so just sit back
nnd sec if your type's in demand for
this year. Who knows you may find
yourself tho favorite typo of pursuer
