GAYNESS OF VIENNA 4 MYTH
SAYS BEPTY RUEDEMANN
"Austria was very pleasant, but, I
like Amorica much better, "Betty Ruede-
mann said of her trip abroad which she
took last yoar.
"Ny stay was centered in Vienna
which 1s vory beoutiful but not so gay.
Part of the winter I spent in Semmering,
a branch of the Alps Mountains. There,
for recroation, we went skiing and skut-
ing. The summer was spent at a lake at
Milstadt. Summer sports there were much
the same as they are here. They consist
of swimming, tennis, surfboard riding
and sail-bocting.
The people of austria are quite
slow and not very well informed about
governmental affairs, resulting probably
from the lack of unlimited freedom of
speech and freedom of the press.
The children of Austria have their
choice of going to school or working. Ary
child who desires and education, howeve
may have 1t as the government supports
public schools. In the schools, the stu
dents are taught the most current lang
uuges (French, German, ind Italicn) de-
pending upon how friendly their terms
are with these countries. Some of the
people own automobiles, but poor roads
make their use impractical. More of the
population own bicycles on which thoy
t.ke long trips.
Most of my friends spoke English,
and I spoke German to those who didn't.
The girls wore dresses culled "dirndls"
m.de of wash materials with large puff
sleeves and full skirts. I dressed as
they did. The boys wore short leather
pants. The Austricns have their own
popular music ond dancing, but there is
no "cheek-tocheeck" dincing. austria as
, country is very interesting but too
different to compare with the United
Sti.tes,'
