Ricans aiid other Latin Americans, as well as the residents of the house.
The Casa Latino Americana is a summer residence of young women interested in learning Spanish. In an atmosphere similar to that of a heme in Latin America, only Spanish is spoken.
For students who do not live in the Casa Latino-Americana, arrangements have been made whereby they can participate in Ithe social activities such as dinners and dances by paying a $5 fee to the business office.
Organizer of this project, Sen-ora Angela Acuna de Chacon, a native of Costa Rica, who has been promoting better relations among the Americans for many years, is the head of this unusual residence.
“Of course, we would like to have a permanent home for Spanish-speaking young people here on the campus,” Senora Acuna de Chacon commented when asked how long she intended to continue the projfect. Present plans allow them to continue only until the beginning of the fall term.
Senora Acuna de Chacon corresponded with SC as early as 1921 in an effort to establish this kind of residence. She tried again in 1940 but the war prevented the completion of‘the plan. It was not until last month that the Casa Latino-Americana became a reality.
Senora Acuna de Chacon founded the Round Table conference in Costa Rica, Cuba, and Colombia, in 1940 and two years later in Sal-I vador. Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Notice
In answer to numerous questions relative to physical examinations by the Veterans Administration for disability pension purposes, the following clarification was released by the veterans’ administration training officer on the campus:
“According to veterans administration regulations, a delay in physical examination because a veteran is in training is no longer in order. Veterans who have been in training for a long period without examination will be called for a review of their current status.
“This could result in a reduction of pension, an increase in pension, or no change in pension, depending upon present physical condition. Veteran.1# drawing disability pension will in the future be examined in routine manner without regard to whether they are in vocational rehabilitation training.
‘‘Public Law 346 (G.I.) students or Public Law 16 students j (Rehab) who received a notice from the Veterans’ Administration to report for physical examinations, should do so. Failure to report may be regarded as lack of cooperation and may result in a suspension of the pension.”
