IB The life of a tennis star can be an exciting one. Florida and the Caribbean In March and April. Europe in the late spring and early sum mer. The East Coast tourna ments. California in the fall. Perhaps South America and Australia during the winter months North American win ter, that is. See the world with ex penscs paid. Make friends with players of many nationalities, for tennis is the international sport. i Attend gay parties and balls. Meet celebrities in many fields, from movie stars to statesmen. Even the Queen of England. Sounds, punching OK, huh? Beats time clock or put ting in the daily 8to-5 routine at the office. Darlene Hard of Long Beach, national women's champion, agrees and she wouldn't have missed it for anything. After nearly a decade as one of the world's best and most colorful performers, the exuberant 26- year-old blonde says sho is Hear ing the end of the tennis trail. "This will bo my last year of International competition," she says. Seeks Crown Darlene is in Europe now for Wightman Cup matches and tournaments leading up to Wim bledon in England, where, on Monday, she will begin her sixth quest for the elusive sin gles crown in the world's No. 1 tournament. In her last three appearances at Wimbledon in 1057, 1059 and lOliO the Long Beach miss has shared in all six doubles championships. She has won the women's with Althea Gibson, Jeanne Arth and Maria Bucno, and the mixed with Mcrbyn Rose and Rod Laver (twice). It is not surprising that Dar lene has gained so much success in doubles. It is her strong point. "Singles and doubles are two different games. I much prefer plarng doubles and am better at it," she says. Darlene is a native Califor nian. Her mother is an avid tennis player and taught the game to her daughter. Darlene was given a racket at 4 and entered her first tourna ment at 13 the Girls' 13 event in the Southern California Jun iors (she won it). At 18 she was runner-up to Barbara Breit in the National Juniors, won the doubles with Miss Breit, and was a semi-finalist in women's singles at Forrest Hills. Attends College She never has had to pay for a lesson, but at 19 she did re ceive some instructions from Alice Marble, who had her change her forehand from Continental grip to a modified Eastern grip. (She uses the Con tinental for all other shots.) Darlene played night softball in a girls' league for three years while going to high school. She also worked as a waitress and was a good student, finish ing ninth in her graduation class of 430 at Montcbcllo High School. She has taken enough time off from the tournament trail to complete 2V4 years at Pomo na College. On hitting the big-time tennis scene as a teen-ager Darlene de lighted the spectators with her vigorous play, her happy-go-lucky attitude and her sparkling court personality. The buoyant blonde is a bit of a clown at times, and unlike many competitors, often gives the appearance of actually en joying herself during a match. Sho has one of the most gen uinely pleasant smiles you'll see anywhere, and she smiles in de feat as well as victory. After Wimbledon, Darlene is scheduled to return to Long Beach for a rest. She'll play in a few Eastern meets leading up to the National Doubles at Chestnut Hill, Mass., and the National Singles at Forest Hills, N. Y., both starting in August. If TOPS IN QUALITY!

Anthropologist Trades Sheath Dresses for Khakis By GAY PAULEY Of (he United Press International NEW YORK (UPD Mention woman anthropologist and the mind usually imagines a sturdy, tailored type digging in the ruins of an ancient civilization. Then comes along Dr. Mariam Slater to wreck that image. Anthropologist Slater has red brown hair, large brown eyes and the figure of the fashion model which she once was. She's five feet, six inches bare foot and weighs 115 pounds. A former reporter and some times actress and short story writer, Dr. Slater is an in structor in anthropology at Queens College of the City Uni versity of New York. On June 30, the 39-year-old anthropologist will shed her city slicker shell complete with "little nothing" sheath dresses and head for Africa and 15 months in the bush country where khaki pants', tent and snakebite kit will be part of standard equipment. Purpose of the trip: to study the customs of a tribe called the Nyiha, which lives in an iso lated area of the Nyasa Tang anyika corridor in the south eastern coastal area of Africa. Have Little Knowledge According to the anthropolo gist, little first-hand knowledge of the Nyiha exists in research literature. The pioneering studies were done by Dr. Mon ica Wilson, whom Dr. Slater plans to visit at the University of Capetown. She docs know that the tribe, believed to number about 60, 000, is semi-nomadic, and that its members are cultivators who depend on millet and on milk from their cattle as their food staples. Various groups of Nyiha, Dr. Slater said, follow their herds within a 70-mile radius of the village of Myeba, a territory ranging from the cold mountain ranges to the stifling Lakeshore plains of southwestern Tangan yika. She feels that because isola tion has preserved the tribe from cultural changes the out side world knows of, it offers an excellent "laboratory" for study of the processes of social change. Dr. Slater, a native of Wash ington, D.C., is the daughter of a physician and research spec ialist in oxygen therapy. Her parents now are retired and live in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The anthropologist was grad uated from Bryn Rlawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pa., in 1944 and came to New York planning to go on the stage. She worked as a reporter for Life magazine for a while, for the Conover model ing agency, did some short stories and finally decided that "if I were going to do any serious writing it needed more studying of people." Studies Anthropology "That," she said in an inter view at her modcrnistically fur nished apartment in the fash ionable Washington Square area of New York, "is one way of saying that I wasn't very good at what I'd already attempted." She enrolled in Columbia University's Anthropology De partment where one of her in- If you like Orange Juice... you'll love a Screwdriver! The fruit juice provides sunshine.

Since 1958 she has been on the Queens College staff. She'll fly to Mombasa where she will line up her crew a ihouseboy and two interpreters, one to translate the complicated Nyiha dialect into Swahill and the other to translate Swahill into English. , Dr. Slater said the trip had been in the "thinking stage for more than a year," but she didn't start concrete plans until ' the Ford Foundation granted I her S8.200 to help underwrite it, FAMOUS APPLIANCES COST IESS AT ZAIE'SI V M QQ New Proctor Custom Toaster toasts I II H M tYmt I all kinds of bread ... even frozen!
