Looking back at
(Editor’s note: Abdel Kader
Mohsin, exchange student from
Egypt studying at the architec
ture school here, will write a
series of articles about Egypt
for the Emerald. The first ap
pears today.)
By Abdel Kader Mohsin
The link between the east and
west, the meeting ground of so
many races, nations, religions and
civilizations, offers the visitor
surely more than any other coun
try in the world for a real holi
day. Both in winter and in sum
mer, it is the ideal place for those
who are in search of romance, va
riety, novelty," mystery, health,
sport, knowledge or pleasure.
Egypt caters to every purse. It is,
in fact, not an expensive country
as many people would be inclined
to think.
Alexandria
Let us go first to Alexandria
by air or by sea—to the eastern
part in the Mediterranean sea. The
unlimited attraction of Alexandria,
reminiscent of historic greatness
and charm, of. Ptolemaic splendor
and art, of the glory and romance
of Cleopatra and Anthony, will
encourage you to spend more and
more days there.
The pillar of Pompie, the palace
of Raseltin dating from the great
days of Mohamed Aly, the vast
harbor with its yachting clubs, the
great drive along the sea front
several miles, the zoo and the
splendid gardens—all these are
among Alexandria's endless at
tractions.
Now to Cairo
You can take a Pullman or aero
plane to Cairo in half an hour. On
your way, you will see the Delta
green fields stretch to the hori
zon on either side. Water-wheels
as used in Pharaonic days may
be seen at intervals along the
banks. Here and there close to the
villages women and girls are
drawing water, which, in jars and
tins, they carry away on their
heads with almost incredible grace.
Sailing boats pass up and down
—their tall sails etched in white
against a sky of cloudless blue.
Where the two mouths of the
liver meet at the apex of the Del
ta triangle stands the great Delta
barrage, a triumph of modern en
gineering. Close by are the won
derfully beautiful Barrage gar
dens, a living illustration of what
can be achieved when gardening
skill combines with the climate of
Egypt and the generous gifts of
the Nile. In a few mi’es you see
Cairo and the pyramids of Giza
j welcoming you.
| You will stay there not less than
i a week, and after a week you will
j feel how magnificent romance is
I Caiio.

NOTES ON RECORD
(Continued from {'age two)
in their new release, Rossini’s
brilliant "Largo al factotum" from
the "Barber of Seville," backed
by Fritz Kreisler’s gay “Tam
bourin Chinois.” The excesses
usually heard in two-piano ar
arrangements are kept to a mini
mum in this record.
Bruno Walter conducts the New
j York Philharmonic in a record
| preimere of Samuel Barber's "First
| Symphony" which was composed
j in 1935. This music is vigorous and
| original, although awkward in
many places. It is written in one
compact movement and recorded
! by Columbia.

Food Suggestions
The following detailed suggestions were given Tuesday by
Druid president Bass Dyer for campus living organizations to
follow during the nationwide food conservation program:
1. Serve cornbread, oatmeal cakes, and mush.
2. Do not buy any wheat cereals.
3. Serve buckwheat, rye, and soy hotcakes.
4. Use the crusts and heels of bread.
5. Use more beans, soy beans, and lentils.
6. Don’t let any bread go to waste.
7. Check the garbage can every day.
8. Return all excess fats to the butcher.
9. Substitute bacon drippings, etc., for shortening when possible.
10. Don’t fry—boil, broil, or roast.
11. Read the newspapers and other literature concerning the
famine situation. ,
12. When buying bread, share your extra loaves with other living
organizations.
13. Use boiled dressings.
14. Start “buyer’s strike” on all wheat and oil products.
15. Serve famine ration meal at least twice. (Approximately
500 calories).
Menu: 1 very small piece cheese
1 small dish potato soup
1 small com pone with very little marmalade
16. Use fruits and cornstarch puddings instead of pies and cake3
for desserts.
17. Plant a garden.
18. Don’t use rice as a substitute.
19. Do not buy beer or whiskey. 18 million bushels of grain used
in liquor production last year would go a long way toward feeding
the world’s starving people.
