pm Page Six THE S A L E M1 T E February 27. iQm Energetic Elizabeth Krauss Wants To Continue Studying By Anne Lowe “I think I’m terribly spoiled, but I can’t do much about it,” said energetic Elizabeth Krauss. “Be sides being the oldest child, I am the only girl child.” As Elizabeth talked I thought Elizabeth Krauss how unspoiled she was in com parison with her American friends. For example, she talked of being in a Japanese concentration camp in Indonesia for three years, as we talk of going to the local movie. “Of course we were hungry,” she said, “but the worst was bore dom.” Being industrious as well as energetic, Elizabeth smuggled a slate into camp “which was won derful because I could write and wipe off and write again.” But how . about the guards, I asked. Did they treat you well? “If you didn’t come'in their way they didn’t hit you.” she said, I thoughtful. I After the war Elizabeth and her I family went back to Holland where she went to High School. “I was 1 the only girl with 16 boys,” sighed i Elizabeth. “Because they teased I me terribly I felt I had to work, j She must have because she grad uated first in the class. That was I one of the reasons she got the scholarship to Salem. Boys are good for a number of things, it seems. Speaking of boys, I asked Eliza beth about her reaction to Ameri can dates. She answered that, “American boys talk about totally different things — Sports, etc.” Casting her eyes down she said, “■We talk about the theater and politics and different theologies.” She then looked up and com mented, “Also, most American boys try to kiss you at the end of the first date. I slap people when they do that.” In spite of the fresh boys here, Elizabeth said she wants “very much” to get a'nother scholarship and study in the United States.

Station Wagon Laments Of Various Aches And Pains By Betsy Turner “Burp,” pardon me, but my phy sical condition is awful. You can t imagine how “run-down” I feel. To begin with, my right fender has arthritis. It’s discolored — out of shape and it rattles. - _ Plus this, r have indigestion ot the gas tank. I don’t know from one minute to the next u choke, burp or die out completely. My rear end wiggles and rattles. People stare at me for fear it might slip out of joint—I blush to think of it! Never one word ot sympathy do I get! My most horrible experience took place a week ago last Y/ed- .,nesday. You might know who did me this injustice—the primary edu cation majors. They were going out to Villa Maria to teach—I heard them talk ing about it as they plopped down on my ragged interior. We started ;off well enough, but my back end ^ Was acting up something awful. | We left Salem and headed up , Main St. I was enjoying the sights ; when suddenly—my left back tire ^ was punctured by a nail. | Hopefully, I waited for them to ^ bring me to a stop and change the | tire, I heard the driver say “this j station wagon rattles like an old | tin can.” No mention of the tire! ; The nail was sending an ache i through me that grew worse and worse. Surely, I thought, they vn| find out about my tire. We dro»i for three blocks and still they on|j said CT’ve never been in * con. traption that rattled so much!” contraption they call me! I was on the rim now. The her had been completely chewj to pieces and any minute we’d \^ dragging the ground. Suddenly, heard another car behind u.s—pe( ing around I saw that it had an aerial and a loud siren. The pulled over and a man holloed “hey lady you’re riding on yoj, rim.” If that man had been i “she” car, I would have rubi hoods with him. The girls got out — “we’ll h late” they- said. Have you evti heard of anyone so inconsiderate! Here I was—ready for a junk pi|( and they were worrying aboti being late. In a few minutes we were our way again—rattling. I coughei as we stopped at a red light ar! wished that I might be given i rest—the junk yard would be wl come! ■Won’t someone help me? lap- peal to you—please put yourself« my place and do something. Td someone to give me a new paiii job—straighten my bumps and tigl- ten my rattles. And above allA something for this horrible indigti- tion-—“burp” !!
