ing will contain apartments for the hostess and the dean of women, parlors, a recreation room, utility
area for laundry facilities and vending machines, a storage area and a passenger elevator.

Mrs. Fish called her trip
a ing, educational and
nan interesting.”
r^iu at the Uni-
r Mrs. Fish studied Span-
ft, history, literature and
for six hours a day
weeks. After completing
her studies there, she traveled
for three more weeks in Spain
and later toured France. Her
itinerary took her to such Span
ish landmarks as Cordova, Gra
nada, Valencia, Barcelona, Se
ville and “to all of Spain.”
In Burgos she noted that the
people are now living an ex
istence reminiscent of I9th cen
tury America. The people
there have no refrigerators, hot
water or electrical appliances; no
or few automobiles or paved
roads; and still wash their
clothes in the river. Because
of her Protestant religion, the
predominanty Catholic Span
iards were less friendly to her
than to her Catholic compan
ions.
Mrs. Fish admitted, however,
that she saw no evidence of
government persecution, partly,
she says, because Franco wants
to join the European common
market and would be hindered
if he persecuted Protestants
since much of Europe is Protes
tant.
AVdien the school session was
over, graduation was attended
by noted dignitaries, including
the American consul and sev
eral Fullbright officials. In her
tours, Mrs. Fish found the Span
ish people to be “friendly, warm
hearted, honest, proud and cul
tured, although many of them
have little education.”
Moving on to France she
said there was a marked differ
ence between the two neighbor
ing countries. “For example,”
she pointed out, in Spain there
is no such thing as a traffic
jam.”
yVhen visiting the Valle de
los Caidos (Valley of the Fal
len) , a monument built by
Franco to commemorate the
dead of the Spanish Civil War,
she was searched and was not
allowed to take her pocketbook
into the basillica. Later she
found that the basillica had
been bombed the week before
by anti-Franco agitators. There
is, she said, a strong anto-Fran-
co feeling in the country.
Enthusiastic over her trip
she found, however, that most
Spaniards look upon Americans
as the inglorious ugly Ameri
can, taking their judgments
from the rich tourists and mili
tary personnel in that country.
“Because of the variations of
thought and culture in the dif
ferent parts of Spain, no one
part could be considered as rep
resentative of all Spain,” she
added.
Math head
here Oct. 2
J. A. Cooley, head of the de
partment of mathematics at the
University of Tennessee for
more than 20 years, will give a
lecture on campus as part of
this year’s lyceum series, Oct. 2.
Cooley is no novice to the
lecture circuit, having addressed
audiences under the auspices of
the Math Association of Ameri
ca. Cooley’s purpose in making
these lectures has been to im
prove and modify the high
school and elementary school
math curricula in light of the
many changes in math over the
past few years.
“I cannot give you a lecture
on high brow research,” he said
in a letter to Dean Lynch, “and
if that’s what you want, then
I’m not your man.” In his lec
ture, Cooley will attempt to
bring the students up to date
in modern math trends.
Following Dr. Cooley in the
lyceum series will be Metropoli
tan and La Scala opera star,
Phyllis Curtin, Oct. 13 at 8:00
p.m.
Labeled as a beautiful, gifted
and talented singer and actress
by Time magazine, Phyllis Cur
tin has appeared on NBC’s Tel
ephone Hour and also on a
musical special over the ABC
network. The Associated Press
honored her as “one of the 10
women of accomplishment this
year.”
According to the dean's of
fice, today is the last day for
changing courses without
penalty. Those who drop
any course after today will
receive a WF in that course
and it will so be marked on
the permanent record of the
student.
