ALVINA LOPEZ Alvina likes to think that she is all scientist, that learning is a process of living, observing and experiment- ing. Named after her scientist uncle Alvin, she seems to have inherited his interest. She Wants to be scientific in her approach and handling of everyday situations. The truth is that in looks and charm she is pure poetry. Per- haps Alvina is at the point where poet and scientist blend. She is, indeed, made up of different elements: a com- pound of Hawaiian friendliness and quick Portuguese temper. As she meets a stranger or greets a friend she is the quintessence of graciousness and, in fact, friendliness is her dominant quality. Yet her temper, like a chemical reaction, can Hare up at appropriate times. All it needs is that iota more of a solution to cause a colorful and ex- plosive reaction. Alvina can, in turn, he active or passive, a talker and a listener. Her interests vary from chemistry to marine biology, from Hawaii to the world at large, from her immediate circle of college friends to whomever at the moment engages her attention. Her conversation is more apt than not to proceed in an orderly way, a scientific procedure of axiom, experiment, and proof. To question and search, and then to produce logical answers is her theoretical approach to an unfa- miliar thing. In her search for the intricacies of life, how- ever, Alvina will bring the scientistis disciplined curiosity and the poet's joy. 79
