Call LONG WAY FROM HOME FOR LONG STAY t (Courtesy of tV»»* Oreproninnt Edna Crowe (center) of Seoul, Korea, shows a couple of fellow students that it's no small jump from home lo Oregon. In the accompanying interview she gives her impressions of America and a description of things hack home. With her are Emma Verdurmen (left), arts and letters freshman, and Helen Angel), junior in journalism. _ Korea to Eugene> Oregon Student 'Commutes’ How would you like to shop in Japan, live in Korea, and come to Ameiica to school? That’s what Edna Crowe of Korea did. Edna, now a freshman in nurs ing at the University, does not go home for vacations. "I probably won't go home un til after T graduate,” she sighed, “and then I want to come back here and be a nurse in an Ameri can hospital.” “You know, home isn’t very dif ferent from here,” she confided. "I went to American schools in Seoul, the capital of Korea, all myj life, and we had parties and stud ied just as you do. We didn’t do quite as much dancing.” White Russian Friend "The place is really quite Amer ican,” she continued. “Of course out in the country, there are little thatched houses and stone ones, but Seoul is very modern.” “I have the nicest friend over there; she’s White Russian, has a creamy skin and red hair, and her name is Nina Belogolovy. She and I tried to play tennis together, but we didn't quite understand it, I guess,” Edna reminisced. Her brown eyes flashed interest. “I'll tell you when 1 really had fun coming over here on the boat. We played shuffloboard, ping-pong and horseshoes. Oh, that trip was wonderful!” Fooil Rationed She says she doesn’t know whether Korea is making any mili tary preparations, because every thing is kept secret. ‘‘Some Korean boys have joined the Japanese army though,” she hesitated, "and we’re rationed on sugar and other essentials.” Asked her hobby Edna skipped upstairs and brought down a love ly brocade box full of jewelry from Korea. Rich jade clips and ham mered silver bracelets gleamed in the collection. “I don't wear it very much,” she explained, “but I love it. Tt reminds me of home.” Eugene is a long way from the Japanese-owned peninsula of Ko rea, and Edna admits she gets lonesome sometimes.

This year, as is the custom, the gals are on the quota system. The organization that has the most men come over in the course of the evening in comparison to the num ber of girls wins the big silver lov ing cup—for distinguished service. Six to Eight The dance opens in typical Okla homa land rush style at six o'clock Wednesday evening and continues until eight. Those who plan to take in both the Tri Delts and the Al pha Phis are going to have quite an overland trek in the 10 minutes alloted between sessions. This annual affair started as the “Dime Crawl,” then was knocked dowrn 00 per cent to the "Nickel Hop.” Freshmen and sophomores generally plan to cut loose and enjoy themselves, while the more staid and reserved juniors and sen iors sit back complacently smoking their pipes and muse “Youth league tomorrow night.” There are always the same types of graft eaeh year; those who uran der out for a smoke and then sneak in again at the next session, those who put pennies in the box instead of nickels, those who don’t put anything in, those who let the girls put the money in. Reports are being circulated that the organizations are frantically buying smooth records in order to present the best music available. When quizzed about playing banned records, one girl whirled around and shouted, “Oh, bother the ASCAP!" (That’s just what she said—we heard heri. “We'll play anything we want.” Watch Hints Have you noticed the little hints the girls have been dropping lately, subtle little digs like: 1. Why don’t you come up and see ME sometime — (said with umph!) 2. Lissen to these new records we got — 3. Remember, you promised to teach me— 4. Surely YOU have a nickel (used to bring out pride). 5. I’ll be saving one for you— Gilbert Says Anzac Sports Unstressed By MARY WOLF "Colleges of New Zealand and Australia select students more carefully than do American pub lic institutions,” declared Dean J. H. Gilbert of the college of social science, intervTewed upon his re turn to Oregon last week after a term’s leave of absence. He said that only the higher rank students from secondary schools are admitted, non-indepen dent study is done, vacations are longer and degrees as in the Eng lish universities are made to de pend upon comprehensive examin ations. Basketball Sissy “Although the New Zealanders are strong for recreation,” he con tinued .“college sports are not so important as in America. Football is a more gentlemanly game than in the United States and basket ball is left largely to the ladies, considering the game not suitable for the men to play.” Most of Dean Gilbert's time was spent in Canberra, Australia, the capital of the Commonwealth gov ernment and at Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. He ac cumulated a vast amount of ma terial on the financial systems of these countries and expects to write a book of some description during the next year. He visited colleges of Australia and New Zealand, particularly the University of Sydney in Australia, where Elizabeth Bannan, who ex changed places with Professor Moll of the English department last year, is again teaching. Ilawaii Returning to the United States, Dean Gilbert stopped at the Uni versity of Hawaii to see Dr. Charles H. Edmunson, a former member of the biology staff at the University of Oregon, and Merton K. Cameron, former teacher here. Dr, Hunter Returns From Eastern Trip Chancellor Frederick M. Hun ter who recently underwent an eye operation in New York, has re turned to his office in Johnson hall. Dr. Hunter was operated on at the Presbyterian hospital in New York City while attending education conventions in the East. Miss Jessie M. Smith, secretary to the chancellor, is in Sacred Heart hospital recovering from the flu. Fastand Efficient Service.... You'll like 1 lio way New Service does your launder ing'.
