Bob is the second Australian to join the USC track squad. The first, distance runner Alan Rose, was instrumental in Crombie's re ceiving a scholarship, since they ran under the same trainer in Aus tralia. Mainly a quarter miler in Aus tralia, Crombie has been used al most exclusively in the half-mile by Carolina track coach Weems Baskin, and in the State Track Meet held last week, he set a new freshman record of 1:53.9 at this distance. "A couple of the things that surprised me when I first arrived were the big cars and the weather here," revealed Bob. "Most of the cars in Australia are the smaller, more compact variety. In the winter in Melbourne, it gets down to about 1:35 degrees and we think that's cold, but the first (lay I got here in February, the temperature was 14 degrees. DPRIX I mpest inners... rial Lap!

"I have had very little trouble getting used to this country. Of i course, I had an advantage since s Alan was here to help me, but the c friendliness of the people here is t really wonderful. They go out of their way to help you. "One small diffIculty I have en countered," continued Crombie, a physical education major who plans to return to Australia to coach, "is the different terms that you use, such as french fries for chips. I also find I can understand North erners a little better than Southern ers because they speak faster, more like I'm accustomed to. "I have been greatly impressed by the splendid track setup out at the Rex Enright Athletic Center. It's the best I've ever seen. At i home there were two cinder tracks in the whole city of Melbourne and I usually trained on a football field, as do most Australian run ners." "Most Americans seem to picture Australia as a land with kangaroos and koala bears all over the main street of Melbourne," states Crom bie. "Nothing could be further from the truth, since the city is almost the size of Los Angeles." 50 lam W. Seegars South Carolina t Blucknell yr 1963-641 rsi James V. Ted .... Veiparaiso U.

He then commenced to load up the truck with a couple drums of food, gas, a compass, a map, and began a 1,500 mile journey to India. The roads were so had he could average no more than 20 mph through ountries such as Afghanistan and Arabia, sometimes going for an .ftir.' day without seeing any peo >le. Upon arriving in Bombay, India, it first sold the truck for $30. A'hen the urge to move on came aver him, he selected Hong Kong, 'hina.
