Rivadeneyra Speaks
To Sigma Pi Alpha
Mexican Discusses Homeland,
Shows Samples of Native Art
The Sigma Pi Alpha, honorary
language society, had as its guest
speaker Mr. Paul A. Rivadeneyra at
the meeting February 9. Mr. Riva
deneyra of Mexico City, now a sen
ior at State College, spoke to the
group about Mexico, her customs,
and the conditions prevailing there.
Mr. Rivadeneyra chose various
subjects and phases of Mexican life
to present to the group. In a com
parison of the American and Euro
pean systems of schools there he ex
pressed his like for the European
method. He discussed sports in gen
eral, emphasizing the renowned bull
fight, and he stated that tourists do
not like the sport because they do
not understand the art that is in
volved.
Among his collection of Mexican
articles were hand-made baskets,
fans and shawls which he displayed
as he talked. He had many silver
trinkets such as small hats and bulls,
for, as he explained, silver is both
plentiful and cheap in Mexico.
The Sigma Pi Alpha will_ enter
tain a Polish speaker at their next
meeting on March 9.
