FOREIGN LIFE PICTURED
BY MISS SUE BADOLLET
Kappa Omicron House Mother Spends Summer in Various
European Countries
Europe is the symbol of old age.
It has buried within its depths the
remnants of a historic life, and to
step into it is only to revive all
that we have learned from our
boohs and Studies.
This is the impression that Miss
Sue Badollet, resident of Eugene
and housemother of the Kappa Omi
cron sorority, brought home with
her from a tour through northwest
ern Europe this last summer.
‘ ‘ The larger cities are modern,
but many of the small villages still
retain their century-old costumes,”
she said. ‘‘One marvels at the
quaintness of the styles of the peo
ple and their homes in the village
of "Volendam, Holland. It seemed
but a toy village, and the houses
all put right down in place by
hand, one with a green roof and
red doors, another with even more
vivid color combinations, but they
are the real habitations of those
friendly people. We had the for
tune to be invited into many of
these homes, and not a speck of
dirt could be seen anywhere; every
thing shines in its cleanliness. The
small white curtains at the win
dows have a distinctive air, and
they even have white curtains in
the barns. The barns in most cases
were joined to the houses, and the
cattle received just as much care
and attention as the family.”
The dikes and the large pictur
esque windmills are there, and the
wooden shoe is 'still in vogue, ac
cording to Miss Badollet. The
women wear the full skirts and the
white-winged dutch bonnets, and
from the grandmother down to the
small child, the hair is bobbed. The
men still wear the baggy trousers
and the small cap which is the typi
cal costume of the ‘‘Dutcher” that
we have seen many times in pic
tures.
‘‘From Volendam we took a fish
erman’s boat across the Zuider Zee
to Marken, another Holland vil
lage,” said Miss Badollet. ‘‘Mar
ken is a village with an entirely
different type of people. They
never leave their island, and are
not as broadminded as their neigh
bors, and do not believe in intellec
tual training for their children.
‘ ‘ The women wear exactly what
their grandmothers wore before
them, and one woman showed to us
a wedding dress that was 200 years
old and was still being used.
“Many travelers have remarked
that the people have kept their cos
tumes for the benefit of the many
tourists, but the guide of our party
said that they were sincere and just
liked to live that way.
“As for the romance of Venice,
the time that it was wonderful is
gone. It will never be any better.
It is picturesque, but unhealthy
looking. The many waterways are
full of dirty water that in many
places lap the sides of rotted build
ings. The cushioned gondolas guid
ed by handsome gondoliers with
flowing sashes and dressed in
past. Today the gondolas are all
white clothes are things of the
past. Today the gondolas are all
painted black; they are unkept and
the gondolier looks and dresses like
any other common workman," said
Miss Badollet.
The famous St. Mark’s Square
with its church at one end and a
row of open shops on either side,
and the famous Campanile was
found most interesting. All the
historic places of interest in Ven
ice and Italy were fascinating and
revealed the interesting events of a
glorious past.
The well-kept lanes and the Eng
lish atmosphere was the favorite
memory of Miss Badollet. Return
ing from one of their long drives
out of London to Windsor Castle,
the king’s summer home, they
stopped at the Stoke Poges church,
which is one of the last typical
Englishc churches.
“We sat under the famous Yew
trees where Gray wrote his famous
‘Elegy to the Country Churchyard,’
and entered the church in which
William Penn worshipped," said
Miss Badollet, ‘ ‘ and we were
thrilled. ’
“We also visited Shakespeare’s
birthplace and went down the same
lane he did to Anne Hathaway’s
cottage. Both these places are being
kept up because of their historical
interest. ”
Miss Badollet visited other cities
and villages of interest in other
countries, and was also especially
interested in places in Switzerland.
She left Eugene June 12, and sailed
from Montreal June 20, spending
72 days in Europe, returning to
Montreal a few days before the
first of September.
BUTTLES OF CHINESE
DESCRIBED AS JOKES
“All this fighting that we read
rfbout in the papers at home is just
a joke here,” writes Gertrude E.
Tolle, graduate of the school of
mathematics and science at the
University of Oregon in 1923, who
is now teaching in the American
Mission College in Canton, China.
“TVe never hear anything about it
except for a few rumors, till we
get the newspapers from the Unit
ed States.”
Sun Tat Sen, one of the politi
cal leaders engaged in the feud,
is a native of Canton and ruler of
the province; but no fighting goes
on around the city although small
bands of soldiers are kept sta
tioned there. The college is on a
little island three miles from Can
ton. The island is under the con
trol of a retired bandit chief who
is extremely diplomatic and always
manages to be an ardent supporter
of whichever political leader hap
pens to be in power.
Miss Tolle is very enthusiastic
about her work there. She says,
“I think I’m simply going to adore
the Chinese children. They seemed
so awfully blank and unresponsive
at first, but now they laugh and
joke just like American children.”
They talk to her in English but
discuss what she^says among them
selves in Chinese. She teaches 18
hours, mostly physics laboratory
work. Her first class it at 7:35
every day but two, including Sat
urday.
She has 128 reports to correct
every week, but it is very interest
ing work since the students use
such quaint expressions. One boy j
wrote in his report, “We can find j
in the world thousands and thous
ands of things around us need meas
urement and we human beings sure
ly have to know how to measure
things and not let the things meas
ure us for we are the highest class
of animals and full of knowledge.”
The American girls find the j
Chinese shops very fascinating and j
the restaurants even more so. They j
have become proficient in the use !
of chopsticks and the proper eti- i
quette to be observed.
During their leisure time the girls j
visit various objects of interest, j
Miss Tolle describes a visit to an 1
old monastery.
“To get to the monastery we had
to go over narrow elevated trails
with riee fields or garlic beds on
either side. Now and then we
passed through old burial grounds
full of irregular green mounds with
headstones at each. Some were
large round tub-shaped stones
which, we were told, are often used
for thrashing out rice.
“We passed through two tiny vil
lages which were so picturesque
with their little ancestral shrines
at each entrance* The streets are
of very hard packed ground, and
the housses are merely little huts
where the chickens, pigs, cows,
dogs, and peiople all sleep together.
“The monastery /’was injdjeecrib
ably beautiful with the vine-cover
ed secluded nooks of the ancient
buildings. One of the monks was
called San Francisco since he was
formerly a cook in that city."

Preference in selection is given
to applicants between the ages of
25 and 33 who fare unmarried, and
who intend to take up teaching or
research ns a profession. Among
other requisites for eligibility, a
candidate must be an Ame(rican citi
zen, with a thorough speaking and
reading knowledge of French, and
at the time of application, must be
a graduate of a college or profes
sional school of recognized stand
ing in the United States.
American fellows will be required

1925, and to reside in Belgium for
at least eight months. The Foun
dation Universitaire of Belgium as
sists the fellows in arrangement for
their academic work. Fellows may

tain the benefit from the available)
opportunities. In special cases fel
lows may enroll at more than one
university.
Not mpre than six fellowships

1926, which may be held in any
COURSES TO ANNALYZE
THE ILLUSIONS OF MAGIC
Dr. Crosland Will Give Spring Term Class in Psychology
of Slight of Hand
The psychology department will
offer a new course in applied psy
chology in the spring term, dealing
with the technical application of
some principles of psychology to ex
hibitional feats, seances, and other
so-called mystification perform
ances. The course will be offered
by Dr. Harold R. Crosland, assist
ant professor in psychology. The
aim of the class will be to prevent
superstitution in the minds of stu
dents by showing the “humbug and
flamdoozlo” of demonstrations of
trickery. Some so-called hypnotism
will be touched upon in the course.
Dr. Crosland will also inform the
students in the course about some
of the methods of crystal gazers,
mediums and other magical enter
tainers.
The course is a result of Dr.
Crosland’s interest and research
work in perception, in which he
has especially dealt with illusions
of various types. Illusion, he de
fines as mis-seeing, mis-hearing,
tasting or feeling. Some illustra
tions for the class will be taken
from leger-de-main. References will
be made to the stunts of various
magicians, among whom will be
Houdini, whose articles exposing
many of his own tricks, those of
other entertainers and the devices
of various spiritualists, are now be
ing published in the Portland Ore
gonian. A sleight of hand artist
will probably appear before the
class, said Dr. Crosland, so that the
students may see just how the il
lusions are created.
Those who have had at least one
course in psychology are eligible
for membership in the class. A
slight knowledge of th.3 psychology
of perception, illusion and halluci
nation will be of great advantage,
Dr. Crosland said.
