Flavoring the Texas weather
with their sunny dispositions and
stimulating the interest of HPC
students in tropical islands and far-
away jungles are two well-known
international students^
One is Frank Santiago, sopho-
more track star from Nairobi, Ken-
ya, East Africa. The other is a
petite Hawaiian, Irene Chun, from
Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii.
Both came here as a result of
the recommendation of friends. A
coach at Odessa who coached Frank
by mail was the one who recom-
mended it to Frank. "I don't think
I'll ever regret it," Frank says.
Several people were responsible
for recommending HPC to Irene.
She wanted to go to a small de-
nominational school and this one
appealed to her, so she came.
In comparing different customs
of their countries with those of the
United States, Frank says that the
average age for marriage in his
country is 25 for men and 19-21 for
women. In Hawaii the average age
is 23-25 and 21-2& for men and
women, respectively, says Irene.
Sports share a large part of
Frank's' interest now. Hei is a val-
uable member of Cap Shelton's
track team and runs on the relay
team with three other mens In his
room are displayed many medals
he won during his high school and
college track career. He says he
enjoys track and looks; forward to
the 3-4:30 p.m. workouts as a wel*
come diversion from his books.
Frank hopes to continue sports
in his career, as he plans to.go back
to Nairobi and coach Boccer and
field hockey in the schools, "it
things are peaoefuL"
What has Impressed; both'Frank
and Irene about America and es-
pecially about Howard Payne is the
friendliness of people.' Citing ex-
amples , Frank mentions the'birth-
day cake he received from three
women members of a church in
Early, complete strangers to him.
On Valentine's Day hooreceired two
cards from friend* in Temple and
Ooldthwalte, also strangers.
Irene says that people are about
the same regarding friendliness,
but she is impressed with the
friendliness at HPC.
About Texas, Irene says, "I
couldn't have picked a better state
(other than Hawaii) in which to
live." Commenting further on her
state, she says she is "tremendous-
ly overjoyed" at its gaining state-
hood. As many students know,
Irene is intensely proud of her
state and continually spreads good

will and Hawaiian propaganda to
alj who will listen.
There are no billboards, snakes,
or snow in Hawaii and the year
around temperature stays at 73.
Sparkling white sands and tropical
palms sprinkled throughout Irene'3
island state are typical; of Hawaii.
No longer do people wear grass
skirts and live in grass shacks,
said Irene, but the native girls
still perform the hula; She ^admits
that she can hula, "a little."
Buddhism and Catholicism are
the predominant religions in Ha-
waii, with all other religions of the
world also practiced there.
The wild natural beauty of Af-
rica is the thing that appeals most
to Frank about his country. There
is no snow in Nairobi, but plenty;
of rain four times a year, a month
at a time.
Citizens in Nairobi have colonial
government, said Frank. The peo-
ple expect to gain their independ-
ence in 1962 but they are not ready
for that step now, he feels. In the
little-explored-jungles of Africa live
many tribes who follow primitive
customs. In Frank's opinion, it
may take 200 years for them to ad-
vance to modern civilization.
Frank speaks English, French,
(his minor) and' Concanim, a lan-
guage containing Portuguese and
Indian influence.
In Africa, the predominant re-
ligion is Moslem, which outnumbers
Christian religions 24-1. There is
freedom of religion in Africa. The
things Frank believes are needed
most to combat communism and to
prepare the people for independence
are more Christianity and educa-
tion.
His home town, Nairobi; is the
capital of Kenya, and is a cosmo-
politan city of 200,000 with Indians,
Arabs, Scotch and Welsh repre-
sented1. Though it is a modern city,
one can go six miles away and be
in the jungles^ he says. A national
park with all types of wild animals
is located three miles from Nairobi.
Something which Frank has
found to be common among
American students Is their lack of
concern for wofrld affairs. Many
are not interested In watching
news on television or in reading
news magazines. Frank is natural-
ly interested in. developments of
his conntry and the strife that is
going on there. He believes Ameri-
can students should take more In-
terest In what goes on, because it
affects them.
At HPC, both students are in
campus activities. Frank is vice
president of the International Club.
Irene is reporter for the Interna-
tional Club, treasurer of the Sopho-
more Class, YWA circle president,
and member of Mission Band and
Charissa Social Club.
Irene is majoring in English and
secondary education. She plans to
return to Hawaii and teach, going
into vocational counseling later.
Frank is majoring in physical
education and plans to do graduate
work before going back to Nairobi
to coach.
Hawaii, Africa, and Howard
Payne. What a combination in the
lives of many who know these stu-
dents.
Advice is like snow; the softer
it falls, the longer it dwells upon
and the deeper it sinks into the
mind. —Reader's Digest
