Samina received a B.A. in psychology from the University of Karachi and for one year after graduation worked at the Amer­ ican Consulate in Karachi. Her child­ hood dream was to study in America and she is now a junior at Winona State University majoring in mass com­ munications. Samina has been in Winona since June and finds it to be radically differ­ ent from her life in Pakistan. The cul­ ture there is based on close family ties and the pace of living is much slower. On the other hand, she feels America is uninhibited and life is very casual. Samina finds Winona to be postcard beautiful and the people warm and friendly. She played the part of Bianca in the fall play Othello and enjoys swim­ ming, sailing, bluff climbing and mu­ sic. Her future plans are to return to Samina Hamid her home country and be a social critic. 5 Marion Closner Zorteald Wein, '22, '36 Mr. & Mrs. Emil W.
