American Association of Univer-, sity Women at their last meeting in the home of Dr. Meta Brown. Juan E. Letts, a senior chenf- ical engineering major, and Kon rad P. Losen, a freshman agron omy major, told the group about the history, geography, and cli mate of their native country. They said that Peru, a country rich in natural resources, is about two and a half time's the size of Texas. The coastal plains have large cities such as the United States and are cooled by the cold Humboldt ocean current, which causes heavy mists in the winter. Chief crops are cotton, sugar, rice and oranges. Peru’s biggest prob lem is bringing water to the coasr tal zone, as the Andes mountains form a barrier separating the zone from the forest region drained by the Amazon river. The students told stories of the early civilizations of pre-Inca and Inca Indians, their wealth in gold ajid silver and skilled craftsmen. The Incas were famous agricul turists, terracing the mountains' and irrigating' their crops. They said that the potato was an Incan discovery. Letts has a Clayton Anderson scholarship and Losen a Good Neighbor scholarship. • Mrs. Eugene Rush presided at the table dating the social hour.
