Jan 21, 1954 Six College Editors Report All Is Not Drab In Russia By CHARLES LANE PARIS ISI Six American col lege editors homeward bound from a 23-day tour of Russia said Wed nesday any conception of the Rus sians as a drab people with no sense of bumor was wrong. David Barney, 27, of Eugene, Ore., editor of the school paper at Reed College, Portland, said the group often joked with their guides about capitalism and communism. "One day when a guide showed up late," Barney said, "he cracked 'my cave was drafty last ntEht so I overslept this morning.' Actually the guide had very good livin; quarters. He was kidding us about some conceptions of the standard of living under communism." All six of the editors and they I'maWtSHMiVE ' Reach high and load me With clothes fresh and clean. When I break, it'll be The worst mess that you've seen! BE SURE-DRY THEM IN THE NEW Automatic Dryer spoke1 In this case for a seventh, man who was to arrive later said the Russian people were friendly during their 5,000-mile tour. But they said there are plenty of anti U. S. government propaganda post ers throughout the country. Ward was delayed in Krankfurt, Germany, and was .due to join his fellow editors here later today. The group was scheduled to spend the day sightseeing in Paris before flying back to New York Wednesday night. When the editors got off the train Lovitt's first words were: "Where can we get some real breakfast. We didn't see any bacon and eggs in Russia. Seems like we haven't had any fruit juice for a month." Asked what they thought of the Russian girls, Ives said they looked poorly dressed to him and pretty drab with no make up. Barney, who speaks Russian, said "they look very busty, and rose cheeked. Maybe tifir heavy wool socks and winter clothing take some of their glamor away. Some of them wore very attractive. The prettiest girls were at Kharkov University." The editors said the Russian stu dents get together informally for their "dates" in the cultural houses of the universities. Moscow Univer. sity has two dance halls. The stu dents dance to everything from Soviet folk music to the "St. Louis Blues," the editors said. Except for certain restricted mil itary areas such as Sevastopol, the edilors said they were permitted to travel freely, singly or in a group, wilh only an interpreter il they wished. Usuallv they asked for, and had, a guide from the Russian Tourist Service. f t i : i . - I. ' ''; ' 1 i .
