There was, however, one

Vera was a tall brunette, ID
years old, no bullying muscles,
and very pretty with a good
figure. She dressed with a
reasonable amount of taste,
and did not giggle in the com
pany of boys. Vera didn't
speak a word of English and
she spoke Russian with a
heavy Ukrainian accent, so I
had some trouble understand

I had a Russian girl friend.

Locker-Room Look

In our summer camp the
girls always wore sweat pants
and a T-shirt during the day
time, and in the evening,
baggy, pull-over dresses with
very plain patterns. Many
wore their hair in pigtails,
while others just combed it
straight back. They wore no
makeup, had no sense of
pretty clothing, and did not
watch their weight. BY the
time they reach 80, they are
usually terribly fat.
Women, in the Soviet IN
ion are certainly not stylish.
One of the American girls
on our trip remarked, Rus
STA is the only place where I
can wear a loud patterned
skirt and a screamingly diff
ferent patterned blouse, and
be considered well dressed"
There were very few couples
going steady" in the camp,
although the campers ranged
from 10 to Is. The girls would
associate mostly with girls,
and the boys would be with
boys. 1t seemed that the
two sexes would rather talk
about each other than &C
tually be with each other.
For example, according to our
American girls who we're liv-
ing with them, the Russian
girls professed to be madly
in love with the eight Amer
can boys. And yet whenever
a Russian girl was with any
of lis she would be too Shy
to talk.
Russian girls are quite I'M
sophisticated. Even those I
met who were past the age of
20 would giggle nervouSly
when spoken to by a boy
and sort of edge away from
him.

dent Hoover, by the way, was
extremely conservative. Some
state control is necessary to
avoid financial extremes such
as the Great Depression of
1929.
We must face the facts. We
have 4 million unemployed
people. Many persons live in
slums with just enough money
for bare subsistence. The only
way to alter this situation is
social legislation. the very
thing George Sobin protests
in his letter.
STEPHEN DIAMOND
Since the election of Presi-
dent Kennedy, more and more
liberal legislation has been
defeated by stiff conservative
opposition. AS a result, thou
sands of students return to
crumbling sch oolh Gus e S
manned by underpaid teach
ers, hundreds of needy "eld-
ers" must disregard dignity
and plead poverty to get
medical aid under the Kerr
Mills Bill, a multitude of
Negroes remain second class
citizens, and many underde-
veloped countries in the world
remain so because of short
term United States foreign
aid.
America was not founded
on free enterprise, although
at the time it seemed suitable.
But with urbanization and
the growth Of industry, free

On a hot August after
noon in a summer camp in
Russia, five Soviet girls chal-
lenged five American boys to
a game of basketball. Our
confidence was high. We
were playing an American
game, and our opponents
were only girls.
At 5 O'Clock the American
boys sauntered to the courts
for a little practice, and at
$50 the Russian girls ap-
peared, wearing basketball
shorts and T-shirts.
We won the first jump,
but a girl, built like a noun
tain goat intercepted the
ball and, nearly trampling
our guard underfoot, made
the first basket. After that,
the game was carried by the
Soviet girls. They were al
ways able to stay a couple
Of points ahead of us be-
cause Of their unusual tao
tics. They charged our lines
like professional football
players, kicking us, hitting
us, blocking us, and almost
gouging us to make a basket.
The Soviet girls won.
From this we learned our
first lesion about Russian
"femininity" there's no such
thing. Many of the girls had
exercised so much that they
were Just as strong as boys.
