nil STUDYING TO HELP HI PEOPLE Anna, Karagozian Wants Joys of Freedom for Her Land. RELATIVES IN MASSACRE Aioves America, ±sut Remem bers Trials of Countrymen “I want my po dfrle to have the joy of life as American people have it,” says Anna Karagozian, Armenian, and stu dent at Oregon. That her people may have that joy Miss Karagozian is direct ing every effort to obtain a higher educa tion in order to return and take them "the things Americans have.” She plans to do social service work and at the same time write of the life of her people so that the outside world may know more of them. ou people here cannot understand nor appreciate your freedom,” the girl from Armenia who does appreciate it. explains. “Why, in Armenia the people do not know what it is to vote or have a law court. Their church is the only gov ernment that they have. There are no schools except as the church provides them.” It is for this that Miss Karagozian wishes to learn as much as she can to help this church in its almost impossible work. Glad She Chose Oregon. In 1806, the girl tells her friends, her father’s five brothers were all killed in the great massacre of that year. “Oh, no, they have no reason,” she adds. “The Turks are unspeakable. They kill only because we are Christians. I think it is because they lack education. They are inhuman.” One would not know as he passed Miss Karagozian on the campus, that she is not an American, or that she is the first of her people to attend any institution of higher learning in Oregon, He* might guess that she won a scholarship in high school, for hers is a bright face, full of animation and interest. “I am so glad that I chose Oregon,” she says. “No, I do not know why I did it. Perhaps the ‘Oregon spirit’ called me. Anyway I shall always be glad I did choose it.” Turks Are Evaded. The story of how they left their na tive land some twelve years ago, travel ing at night and hiding during the day in constant fear that they would be discov ered hnd killed is still a nightmare to her. In the great massacre of 18116 all her people except her parents and grand mother were killed or taken away. At that time, when she was forced to hide under a bridge in order to escape the Turks, Mrs. Karagozian decided to go to America. It took twelve years to ac complish this. "Do not think I am not an American,” said Miss Karagozian. “I love America; it is truly my country.” Anna Knrago zian is anxious that no one think it luck of patriotism for America that makes her wish to return. “Other Americans go to Armenia,” she says. “I will just be one of them, for I really am both American and Armenian.” Miss Karagozian formerly attended Franklin high school in Portland, where she was prominent in school activities. For three years she was school corre spondent for the Oregonian. She was also secretary of the Student Body asso ciation, and president of the Home Eco nomics club, the largest girls’ organiza tion in the school. Miss Karagozian also attended the Lincoln high school where she was graduated last .Tune with high scholastic honors. PLAN FROSH-ROOK RUN Cross-Country Team Race Before Foot ball Game Is Plan.
