HAROLD NEWTON TELLS EXPERIENCES 11 LAND or «po«Hs Former Student Says J a panes* are Eager to Learn English Harold Newton, ’19, wlio sailer September 15 for Japan to teacl English to the natives in one of tin public schools, has written to Dear Eric Allen telling something of his trip across the ocean and of life ir the “Land of the Cherry Blossom” Under 'the date of October 10, h« writes: “The Japanese have a craze foi learning English, especially conversa tion, and all of those who can afforc it and who can obtain instructors are trying to learn our language Imagine Americans being compelled to learn Japanese! You know the policy of Nippon. They are aggres sive and at the same time they are the greatest imitators in the world and they love the ideas of foreigners in their land, not the foreigners themselves. Mrs. Madden tells me that the popularity of an American over here comes and goes. At present we are “jake” with them, a few months ago, far from it. But I won’t deal on this “touchy” far East ques tion just now. Later, when I pich up authentic dope I’ll try and place some copy in American newspapers Shantung, Korea, and Vladivostok are only short runs from here and I am anxious to get some material there An officer aboard the “Monteagle’ showed me pictures he took a few weeks ago in Vladivostok. Thrilling times are to be had in Siberia. “My first rickshaw ride, my getting lost several times, my first bath in a native tub. my first spasm with the students and about Imieniti, the girl who guided me around, are experi ences I’ll not forget next week. 1 havn’t time now to write them and then again, I would rather tell you so you could take in the gestures. Remember when Mr. Rice gave the freshman journalism class a talk about his experiences in the Orient and how we undertook to interview him! Well, I won’t be so backward about making statements if you care to have the class practice on me. “Foreigners are so scarce in this city that they are stared at all the time. Between classes I go to the instructor’s room and drink tea and occasionally run upon a professor all of us are called that over here who speaks English, and to me it is a blessing straight from heaven, be cause I have a hard time wit heven a .few essential phrases in this lan guage. I teach a few hours a weefc at one government school, the Ten noji chu gakko, and the rest of my working time is spent at private schools and among business men bankers, etc. They pay fairly good money. I don’t know how long I will stay' with this sort of work, but it will be long enough for me to “get into the ropes” before undertaking a commercial job. There are plenty of them to be had, but I can get a better one, I think, after looking a while “Please ask some one to send me some University literature, or any sort of news. I’ll read advertisements and all.” LLOYD W. STILL VISITS Former Student Will Spend Home coming Week-End Here Lloyd W. Still, a former student at Oregon, now attending the University of California, arrived on the campus Wednesday to attend the Homecoming festivities and the big game. Still says that he likes it very much in California in spite of the fact that the student body is so large that tlfere is no chance to know every one and he is continually seeing strange faces about the campus. Still is a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, in whose house he Is staying during his stay here. Face Painting Frowned On A vigilance committee at the Uni versity of Oklahoma has launched a campaign against “painted co-ed faces.” GRADUATE CLUB STARTS VICTOR MORRIS HEADS NEW CAMPUS ORGANIZATION Speakers From Other Northwestern Universities to Be On Year’s Program An organization of graduate stud ents to be known as the Graduate Club of the University of Oregon, was formed at a meeting of these students recently. The constitution, which had been referred back to a committee at a previous meeting held several weeks ago, was considered and finally adopted. Victor P. Morris was chosen pres ident of the organization; Melvin Solve, vice president; and Mrs. An nette Vaughn, secretary. The purpose of the new organization, according to Mr. Morris, is to promote good fellowship among the graduate stud ! ents, taking post-graduate work, and to further the cause of advanced scholarship. Meetings are to be held on the average about once a month, Mr. Morris announced. On the programs arranged for these meetings profes sors from outside universities who are in the northwest will appear as well as members of the University of Oregon faculty. By a unanimous vote of the association, a motion to make members of the graduate council j of the faculty honorary members of ' the association was adopted. There will be between 35 and 40 | members in the club according to Mr. I Morris’s statement. There are now ! 30 graduate students in the Univer | sity and seven members of the graduate council of the faculty, he said.
