Buckingham Palace Ugly, Shore Patrol Is Friendly
Editor’s Note: This is the first
of a two part series of articles
dealing with the European advent
ures of UNC-C students Phyllis
Henline and Nelson Lenunond this
summer.
By Libby Holshouser
Every summer some students
are lucky enough to make that ever-
exciting trip abroad. There are
several such students here at our
own University. We were inter
ested in their comments con
cerning the sights and sounds of
countries, foreign to the United
States.
As the person assigned the task
of interviewing these students, I
was faced with the problem of not
knowing exactly what questions to
ask. My problem was solved to a
great extent when I discovered that
cne of the students had kept a day-
by - day account of her trip.
The following are some refresh
ing, new slants of a tourists view
of Europe, from the memoirs of
Phyllis Henline, who spent ten
weeks touring.
“Saw Westminister Abbey, Big
Ben, Pariiament Buildings, and
Buckingham Palace ~ ugly. Saw
Thames. Rested in St. James
Park.”
“Ate poissons fruit— 800.Had
to parlez francais in restaurant,”
“After five changes, got toBru-
ssells. Walked a mile to hostel.
BeautifiJ hostel. Everyone spoke
English.”
“Got onshiptoGotburg,Sweden-
Phyllis Henline
ship was Princess Desiree. Plush,
lounges, cafe, cassino, bar, etc.”
“Ate spaghetti at ItaUan Rest
aurant — 600 ‘Strangers in the
Night’ on juke box.”
“Went to zoo. Shot animals of
interest in zoo (ed. trans. :Took
pictures of animals of interest).
Ate lunch with tea and walked to
Carlsburg Breweries. Took free
tour of breweries—from begin-
ing to end— Malt, Brewing, fer
mentation, aging, bottling, and
learned all the processes—very
interesting. Had all free bear we
could drink—which was only one.”
“Walked thru Copenhagen
streets. Very big, bright, and ex
citing. People stay up all night
long. Music everywhere, people
dancing and laughing. Very plea
sant and happy city. Only cme
thing indecent—street shops filled
with pornography informs of books
pictures and even slides.”
“Had serenade by some guy,
playing auto harp or zither—
Very good until he started to sing.”
“Caught 8:30 train to either Zur
ich or BaseL Haven’t decided yet.
Great train—may sleep some.”
“Music and dancing everywhere.
Salvation Army Service on street
at 8:30. Unusual.”
“Saw many Americans here -
even translated French menu for
boy from Kentucky — very nice
kid.”
“Saw primitive farming methods
burrows with packs, etc. on way to
Malago—only beginning more
modern irrigation systems.”
Had paella for limch; consisted
of rice, chickens feet, pimento,
peppers, clams, lobster and other
non-descript items. Good but not
great.”
“Jumped from train into ditch.
Looked worse than the devil —
waled into apartment area, sel
ected best hotel we could fin.”
“Shore patrol on beach when
we came out. Very friendly.”
“Rode aU over Lyon looking
for cigarettes.”
“Before dinner, went to Chat
eau de Blois—^in very bad shape,”
“Walked thru old town of St.
Malo. Streets packed with tour
ists. Saw old church that had
been bombed—gives Wierd sen
sation.”
“Walked to Cathedral of Notre
Dame. Most beautiful cathedral
I’ve seen yet. Stained glass win
dows magnificenL”
“Visited some fort used by Mus-
soUnni which was in ruins. Went
to Roman Forum for impressive
presentation of sound and lights
which gave entire history of Rome.
Saw Fountain of Treiu(Three Coins
in a Fountain, fountain). We threw
in two coins. Legend: one coin,
you’ll come back to Rome; two
coins: you’ll get married in Rome,
three coins : You’ll get divorced
in Rome,”
“Had breakfast in Constitution
Square—tea and croissant. Wentto
gift shops and had lunch below Acr
opolis. Ate green salad and stuf
fed vine leaves. Went to Acro-
poUs, saw Parthenon, Temple of
Athena Nike, and visited museum.
Most impressive single sight I’ve
seen.”
“Funniest thing—natives change
clotlies on beach with back to water.
Go from swim suits to stark
nakedness and tlien to full dress—
men and women alike. Simply
amazing. No one seems to notice.
Next week, watch for comments
by Nelson Lemmond on his trip
abroad. At that time, find out
where he encountered Phyllis Hen

Lincoln Had Beard Before
Newman's Mother Had Blades
By Corny Stilwell
Yesterday I saw an advertisement in a newspaper that introduced
the latest in men’s toiletry. The new “bare look” for men in fashion.
What exactly is the “bare look”? As far as I could determine,
it’s the new colorless lipstick for men. Now, there is a chapstick
which looks like a tube of lipstick but this isn’t a new chapstick!
It’s odorless, smear-proof and water repellent!’ What’s more it’s for
men. And it’s designed to give your smackers a lean and hungry look.,
boy, you’d be lean and hungiy for a long time around me.
The first time I caught some fellow sneaking in his pocket and pulling
out a tube of lipstick to smear on his kisser....well, that would be
enough for me.
Righ next to this “bare look” advertisement was a Want Ad column
and immediately my eyes caught the ad which read, “MAN WANTED!
Must produce Credentials.” How ironic that the editor should place
this ad next to the “bare look ” advertisement. The older I get,
the harder it is for me to remember when almost everyone had the
clean-shaven, tailored-shirt look.
Everyone has that “pinched” look (males). They impress me as
acting as though they’d just eaten a lemon. The reason for their ex
pression comes from the fact that they have on such tight pants that
their blood circulation in their legs has been severed. Years ago you
would have blamed that “pmcned” look on tight shoes times do
change.
As for the clean-shaven look, five years ago only beatniks had
beards, now everyone who swings (from trees) is growing one. It
men were intended to have beards, why would Paul Newman’s mother
have invented the razor-blade?
At least Paul’s mother was able to convince him that he looked
better with hair on the top of his head instead of all the way around it.
Of course, some young men insist upon arguing that all the great men
in our history had beards. That may be true, but no one’s written a
book on why they had them.
Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest statesmen is pictured with
a beautiful black beard. But the way that I look at it, if you’re nearly
7 feet tall, who’s going to be able to see whether you’ve must shaved
or not. It’s not those 7 feet tall men who bug you, it’s those 5’9”
with the beard they can wrap around their pinkies who’ll bother you.
It nearly drives me crazy to sit behind one of these guys in class and
have to watch them >vind their breads around their pinkie and then wind
it again and unwind it and wind it again When the bell finally rings
for the next class, I’m so glad to be away from the fellow that I fairly
run to class and who do I find sitting in front of me? Curly Beard him
self. (He’s wound and unwound his beard so many times that he’s put
a natural kink in it).
Beards seem to be present on guys with the short hair. I’d rather
see that than the guys with the smooth face and the hair down their
shirts and even their eyes.
They have curlers and clips for setting their mops. Then they’ve
designed a speciaUy made teasing comb for styling. After styling,
there is the special hair spray.
To me, there is nothing more displeasing than to see a girl with a
bouffant hairdo and be able to see the teasing which hasn’t been combed
over. But to see a boy with a “hairdo” which probably wouldn’t fit
under a bushel basket is overwhelming.
Clothes, too, are picking the boys from the men. (But they are more
than that, they’re making it possible to distinguish the men from the
women.) The men are the ones who wear the long pants. The women
wear the short skirts.
As I said, the older I get, the harder it is to accept the new fads.
Hope that skirts don’t get too much shorter.....at least, if they do,
I hope that my legs get a little longer.

The UNC-C branch of PRAM
will entertain eight Ecuadorian
students who are presently visit
ing the Eastern coast of the Uni
ted States on Wednesday, October
5, at 11:30. All students arc in
vited to attend the open discussion
and reception in the Union whether
they speak Spanish or not. The
Ecuadorian students speak fluent
English and are eurxious to dis
cuss any topic with American Stu
dents.
A similar group of students
visited the UNC - C campus last
year and they were found to be
a charming and lively representa
tion of their countries.
PRAM is an international or
ganization which operates com
pletely on private funds. No polit
ical, economic or social concern
forms the backbone of PRAM for
the group was started by Uni
versity students and has been
maintained by students during its
two years of existence.
The organization began at David
son College in North Carolina and
now has branches throughoutNorth
and South America. International
headquarters are located at Dav
idson and Quito, Ecuador.
PRAM believes that personal
contact is the only way to learn
about people and their problems.
Therefore, they sponsor a student
exchange between North and South
America as well as between one
South American country and ano
ther. Any University student is
considered for an exchange irre-
gardless of his political or so
cial beliefs.
This past summer American
students, including several from
UNC-C, visited Bolivia, Ecuador
and Peru.
