Students Speak Miss Schneider arranged for a four-year partial schol arship through the govern ment of her country and her entry into this country wtis made possible through the as sistance of Mr. and Mrs George Flanagan of Medford. with whom she lives when not on campus. She is working toward a degree in teaching Miss Bianchi is attending the college for a degree in busness, arranged through the Institute of International Edu cation which pays her expense for a year. Miss Bianchi said she found the United States quite as she had expected it because she had known many North Americans but Miss Schnei der said it was much differ ent than she had expected be cause the post-war years had on the adolescent age helpful toward better understanding are invited to bring it along for reading exchange with other parents. Has Been W9 A Charge Plate Store - Ph. SP 2-91 69 Monday, February 3, 1938 made life so difficult for her in Germany. The scholarships are con sidered a high honor for each of the girls because, in their countries, most scholarships go to men students. They are the only foreign exchange women at the college. Schol arships in Chile are awarded through the university by the government. In Germany they are awarded by the govern ment also although special provisions are made for refu gees and for families who have lost a member in the war. Chile Lacks Schools Miss Bianchi told the group that there are not enough schools to accommodate the students in Chile and only about 50 per cent of those who apply for college entrance are accepted. Medicine is about the only field not open to fe male students, she said. In Germany, Miss Schnei der said, about 80 per cent of the students go on to college. While women are discour aged, they are accepted for all degrees except mining and engineering which are con sidered physically too diffi cult.

The 55th annual tea-tasting session is on, with a group of seven experts feeling, snif fing and "swooshing." This'Il go on the rest of the week, with more than 100 varieties of tea, selected at random from bonded warehouses, get ting the once-over. Tea tasting is serious busin ess. The experts will. set the standards for the quality of teas which may be imported in the 12 months beginning May 1. This whole process dates to 1897, the Tea Council of the U.S.A. reports. That year, American merchants, fed up with getting a lot of non-tea among the tea leaves, set up their own testing panel. That roughly could be expensive, when you consider that It takes 10,000 leaves to make a pound of tea as we buy it today. Expert Added When the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed in 1903, a government expert was added to the industry panel. He also samples tea the year round, to make sure that new shipments meet the standards set this week. This year's panel consists of Albert Guarino and Alexand er Grille, both of New York; Edward Bransten and Thomas Moss, San Francisco; Phillip Hellyer, Chicago; Angue Mc Adam, Boston, and Robert H. Dick, the federal examiner. The tests are held each year in the "tea room" a plain ord inary office, at the downtown Manhattan headquarters of the Food and Drug administra tion. Tasters seat themselves at a circular, revolving table. Be fore them are carefully weigh ed samples in handle-less white China cups. Then Comes The 'Swooshing' Boiling water from big, steaming kettles nearby is poured over the leaves. The experts watch the leaves un fold, observe the color of the tea, sniff the aroma and, after the stuff has brewed exactly five minutes, lift the leaves from the cup and feel them. Now comes the "swooshing," as they dip the brew into their mouths from outsize teaspoons-No swallowing, however. The tasters "park the brew in a 1 three-foot, funnel-like con tainer once commonly known as a goboon. "Tea tasting is a little like wine tasting," said panelist Guarino, who's been sipping since 1924. But sines the tea is only "swooshed," and not downed, there is no need for clearing the palate between samples. "One thing's sure," said a tea council official. "If they had to clear their palates, it wouldn't be with coffee."
