Webfoot Senior in Mexico City Finds Friendly Feeling for U. S. By JOHN MATHEWS An Oregon senior in Mexico City has sent word to the campus of activities in what he calls “this land of contrast.” Bill Moxley, senior who is spending the year with a Spanish-speaking fam ily while attending the University of Mexico, reports a pronounced friendly attitude toward Americans in the southern capital. Moxley will be remembered here as a member of Sigma Delta Chi and winner of the George - Rebec prize for philosophy. He was also a jazz authority, one time author of the Emerald rec ord column, and short story writ er. The Mexicans’ friendliness is but part of a many-faced nation al character, for, says Moxley, “Nazi buttons are sold on many corners, and occasionally when I get on a bus I see two little flags above the driver’s head; one a Mexican flag and the other a swastika.” The "V” for victory campaign, too, is enjoying a huge success. And only recently a large committee of prominent Mexi cans was formed to combat the action of Nazi and Fascist infil tration. •>- “The recent Independence day celebration was one of the larg est and most colorful in Mexican history,” Moxley writes. “Sept. 16 is Mexico’s Fourth of July except for the fact that it is cele brated much more enthusiasti cally than we celebrate our Fourth.” Yearly the government takes this occasion to flex her military muscles in a great show of strength. Latest trimming on the display is a fleet of new red-and silver Buicks belonging to the po lice force. The war machine is small, but, according to Moxley, well oiled. “The leaders are skill ful, and they are doing their best to replace outworn equipment with the mechanized necessities of a modern army,” he reports. The attitude toward world af fairs is rather changeable. Since Russia’s swing to the Allied side, Mexico, too, has slipped away from the Axis camp, but, Moxley believes, should the Soviets be de feated, there might be a return to support of the dictators. “Everywhere both sides are represented,’’ says Moxley, “ in the free and colorful discussion which goes on continually in this land of contrasts.” Musical Demons Present Program -«“The New Earth” by Henry Hadley, American composer, has been chosen for presentation by the choral union, according to Dr. Theodore Kratt, dean of the mu sic school and director of the choral union. Rehearsals will not begin until October 16 because of the failure of scores to arrive from the publisher. The work, written shortly af ter the world war, is scored for chorus, orchestra, and soloists with libretto by Louise Ayres Garnett. The composer was for merly conductor of the Los An geles symphony orchestra and later of the New York philhar monic. This will comprise only half of the program. The remaining num bers will be selected later. Think it over: Whotever course you choose in life, WRITING will be your major means of self-expression—and Sheaffer's is the finest tool for that. Why?

Forty-one students are on this year’s list of eligibles and their 1941 Oreganas are being held for them at the Oregana office in Mc Arthur court. “We would appreciate informa tion concerning the whereabouts of the students who are not regis tered in school this year so that we can send them their All American 1941 Oregana,” re quested Emerson Page, business manager. “All books will be held for a short time and then copies will be sent to persons who are on our waiting list.” The following people may call in person for their yearbooks any afternoon this week at the Ore gana office: Clarence Carter, Robert Chris tensen, Marjorie Clear, Bileen Cooper, Arthur Dentler, Jane Doyle, Eula Elwood, Margaret Exley, Adrienne Flurry, Ormin Gropp, John Hay, Dick Hewitt, Mary Hiller, Burson Ireland, Howard Jenks, Harold Johnson, Betty Ann Lemen, Fred Floyd, Don McEachern, Betty McNiece, Carol Mangold, Molly Jean Mai son, John Meany, Warren Moe, Robert Moore, Kenneth Nehl, Tom Oxman, Jacob Risley Jr., Ramona Roberts, Roland Rodman, Lee Samuelson, Barbara Schmield ling, Franklin Shields, Peter Smith, William Snell, Barbara Taylor, Homer Thomas, Robert Hamilton Van Orden, George Wood. Only Five Students Listed at Infirmary Memaloose Island, that Indian burial ground at the bottom of the Columbia river, has nothing on the infirmary; they’re both dead beats. A year ago, well, at least 363 days ago, there were fifteen peo ple holding forth in the wards of the Thirteenth street cold spot. How many are infirmed there now? Five! This might be con strued to mean that this year’s Oregon students are twice as healthy as those of last year, but as far as we’re concerned, they’re just plain dead. What can be ex pected from five patients in an infirmary but a weak macabreish rattle now and then? Membership in the Pill Palace Pack Tuesday included: Luella Miller, Grace Henry, Willis El liott, David Steven, and Don Ste phens.
