Guatemalans Entertain Stetsonites By CAROL BOISE "Chapinlandia," the National Marimba Band of Guatemala, gave a luncheon concert in the Stetson Union Building, Friday, April 10. The nine musicians were sent on a tour of Southeastern United States jy the President of Guatemala as a contribution to the observance of Pan American Week. The Guatemalan president hopes to secure oetter relations with the United States and to encourage Americans o visit his country. Members of the band play on the national radio station in Guatemala daily from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. They were accompanied on this tour by -wo folk dancers, who were clad in colorful native costumes and who performed to the music oi the mar- .mba band. When questioned as to the meaning of the word "Chapinlandia," Alberto Urreitia, leader of the group, stated „hat the term was similar in meaning to "Yankee." The northern part of Guatemala is farmland, and the 'erm is applied to the northern farmer. The marimba, from which the xylophone was developed, is an instrument native to Guatemala. The series of hand-carved, hard wooden oars when struck by small hammers in the hands of skilled musicians produce a more mellow sound than (hat produced by a metal xylophone. Chapinlandia," the company's heme, was the first selection. Band members followed the Spanish selection with "Stars and Stripes Forever," and an array o: mambos, jambas. and cha-chas. When the group played "Dixie, " the audience stood and applauded hcerlily. A number o/ stu-ien'n seemed to have difficulty remaining seated as the rhythmic music was so tempting: however. thny restrained them- sthes in accordance with the university regulation, profiting dancing on campus. President Edmunds end members of the faculty present appeared pleased at the reception accorded ths Central American guests. President Edmunds sent greetings to the President of Guatemala by tape recording. STETSON CALENDAR Friday, April 17 Tri Delt Weekend. 8 p.m., Line Jacobs' Barn, E.
