Brazil:--3
by Grady Elmore
"After going steady with the
girl for three or four months, if
the boy is real nice he might hold
her hand at a movie," says Joao
.Freitas of Brazalian dating cus
toms. Freitas, a native of Rio de
Janeiro, came over from State
College, where he is majoring in
textiles, to join Haroldo Jezler
arid Barry Farber as panel mem
bers for YMCA World Related-
ness Commission Cosmopolitan
Club . supper-forum Monday
night. The forum was pn "Brazil
and the World Today."
Jezler, who hails from San
Paulo, Brazil's second largest
city, is a graduate student in pub
lic health here. Graduating from
the University of Sao Paulo, he
came to Carolina last September
on a one-year fellowship from
the Department of Intra-Amer-ican
Affairs.
Farber, new editor of The Daily
Tar Heel, recently spent 'two
weeks in Brazil's capital, Rio,
attending an international stu
dent assembly.
The geography and people of
Brazil were described by Jezler;
dating customs, the street carni
vals, and Brazilian education were
discussed by Freitas and Farber
commented upon his impressions
Of Rio de Janeiro.
"Dating customs of my country j
are old-fashioned," said Freitas,
"but gradually they are being re
modeled." He referred to the ra
tio of sexes as being instrumental
in bringing about the change.
The joke down there is that we
have seven girls for every boy;
if that is true somebody has 12
because I only have two."
Since seeing American girls,
Freitas says it is not true that
the girls of Brazil are the most
beautiful in the world, "It is
hard to decide," he reflected.
Jezler told the forum gather
ing that Brazil is slightly larger
than the continental United
States, although its population is
only 50 million. Brazil has only
21 states, the largest of" which
is three times the size of Texas,
he pointed out.
"Ninety percent of the people
are living along the coastal strip,"
he said. "It is a country of ex
tremes; while the coast is dotted
""with modern cities, there are
parts of the interior where no
white man has ever been." To
day the country is endeavoring td
improve these backward regions

of jungles and mountains, said
Jezler. "There is still a long
range plan to move the capital
from Rio to a more central loca
tion." The people are not like the
glamourized Hollywood interpre
tation, he continued. "They aren't
like Carmen Mirando."
Barry Farber, speaking of his
trip to Rio, said he was first
impressed by the transportation
system in that city. "They have a
half -school-bus, half -jet-bomber
contraption to carry you about,"
he said. "Stop lights are there just
to impress tourists, I'm sure." He
related an instance when he was
thrown out of one of the vehicles
as it turned a corner. "I woke
up to find the driver standing
over me; I thought he was an
xious about my condition, but
found out he only wanted his
fare."
Rio de Janerio is the most
beautiful city in the world, Far
ber declared. "I don't think I'll
ever live to see a more beautiful
place." ' - . -
famed street carnivals of Rio and
other Brazilian cities. These fes
tivals last from nom Saturday
until the following Wednesday at
6 a.m., he said. "Then they are
over, except for the hangovers.
The jails are opened, letting the
people out to go to mass."
Dances there'are not like the
usual 9-to-midnight ones, in this
country, but usually start at mid
night and continue all night,
Freitas said.
The government of Brazil under
President Vargas was "discussed
by Jezler and Freitas. Dictator of
Brazil for many years, Vargas
was overthrown in 1946. Recently
he was elected president.
"I lost money betting against
Vargas," said Freitas. "I didn't
expect him to win." Questioned
as to Vargas' popularity, Jezler
pointed out that it was a free
election, "so "obviously many
people like him."
Education in Brazil is modeled
after the European plan, Freitas
commented.

How this book came about
They Went to College is based on a
survey sponsored by TIME, whose in
terest in this group stems naturally from
the fact that most of TIME'S readers are
college-trained.
TIME is written for you and people
like you, people like the thousands of
graduates of the more-than-a-.thousahd
American colleges who answered TIME'S
'questionnaire andVevealed many facets
of their lives from thecourses they took; :
;to their religious beliefs.
: This mountain' of data was tabulated s
arid analyzed by Patricia Salter WSst at ,
the Columbia University Bureau of Ap
plied Social Research, then turned over4
to Ernest Havemann, a former editor of
TIME and a specialist at making inter
esting reading out ot statistical material.
The result is a book of major import- v
ance to everyone. ' x . ;
IS it true that our colleges are turning out
atheists and radicals?
How do graduates stack up against the self
made men who battled their way , without
the help of four years in college but got a
four-year head start in the business world?
'Are they better husbands and wives? Is a
sheepskin really worth all the effort?
You'll find answers to your future in the
answers to these questions, questions that
are explored in They Went to College,
TIME'S new book about one of America's
most influential groups of people,, theU. S.
college graduates. . - , ,
In its pages, you'll peer into the post-gradua-tion
careers of the ex-Greasy Gririd, the ex
BMOC, the ex All-Around Student and the'
One Who Just Sat There;1 ' ' ;'; r
How many of them married, how many
children did they have, who got divorced,
who got the best jobs, what do they think
. of courses they took?
These are just a few of the former dark
-areas of conjecture and folklore lighted up by.
this unprecedented study. .
i Low-Down on Higher Learning
They TVenf ro College is required reading
for everybody who wants the real low-down
on higher learning. . .
If you're an undergraduate, you'll leara
much about your probable future. r
If you're a college graduate, you'll find
outihow you stack-up against your peers.
If you're a teacher, you'll discover what
has 'become of your students. :
And, no matter what your interest:, you'll
find fuel for plenty of debate in this book.
Because its audience represents one of the largest concentra
tions of college graduates reading any major magazine in the
world today, TIME, The Weekly Newsmagazine, undertook the
comprehensive study which is the basis of this milestone book.
