CHICAGO, June 27-So you are
of for the summer session at the
University Of Mexico. It's a polish
ing up, Of course-for we OF the
United States need the old world
culture before We round out. And
now that Europe has been scratched,
and privileged youth of wealthy
families has been stopped in its old
educational tracks. 1t Is really in
credible-that such famous old
university set in such richly cul-
tural surroundings could have been
overlooked by us all this time. But
overlooked it has been, even
though it was going strong before
these United States had gotten to-
gether on a Constitution. Migra-
ton ties probably account for the
fact that the United States has al
ways fastened its eye on Europe and
sent its special youth across the
Atlantic for the final touches.
But modern youth is quick to
catch on. Why not old Mexico?
they ask. So, packing their bags
they swarm suddenly south Of the
border to steep in a seasoned and
steadied oldness of the Paris Of
the New World. simultaneously,
however, the narrowed oldsters, who
determinedly envision Mexico as a
land of yuccas and bandits, shiver
with horror and clutch at youths
coat-tails. 1t works both ways
Oldsters down in Mexico just will
not believe that Chicago has good
university. How could it-inhabited
by gangsters who riddle the streets
with machine-qun bullets? They
clutch at their pet youth exactly as
We do at ours-while for youth the
border travel still booms both ways
r
Clothes worry you Of course, II
you are young and feminine and
setting forth on such a glorious ad
venture Well. Mexico reads the
| same fashion books we do and youth
tries hard to do the campus stunt
our way. However, in all contacts
