-New Zealand Natives
Treasure *41 Oregana
By FRITZ GIESECKE
Ten thousand miles from Eugene in a remote New Zealand native
meeting house now lies a copy of the 1941 Oregana, and its pages
are thumbed with the keenest interest and curiosity by the people
of the ancient tribe of Maoris.
So learned Dean James Gilbert of the college of social science last
week when he received a letter
from the princess Te Peua He
rangi saying that she had re
ceived a copy of the Oregana
which the dean had sent her.
It all began when the dean and
^his family were vacationing in
New Zealand last year. In Ngaru
awahia, Waikato, they met the
princess of the Maori tribe there,
and were greatly interested and
impressed by the work she was
doing among her people—teach
ing them the higher culture of
the Western civilization and
training them in the finer things
of life.
The dean and his family now
recall their experience at the
Maori settlement as one of the
most delightful and interesting of
their entire trip.
When they reached home, they
-^pent the Oregana to the princess
as a token of remembrance.

SpeechAction
The first meeting of the wo
men’s symposium debate team
was held Friday, October 10. in
Friendly hall. The group chose
for their debate question for this
year, “Should Speech, the Press,
the Movies, and Other Means of
Communication be Censored Dur
ing the National Emergency?”
Anyone interested in debate
should see Kirt E. Montgomery,
instructor in speech, at his office
in Friendly hall for further in
formation. There are still several
positions open on the debate
team.
Last year the women’s sympo
sium debate group went on sev
eral short tours all over the state
and spoke before the Lions’ clubs,
women’s clubs, high schools,
granges, and church groups.
During the whole season they
spoke before 80 such audiences
and covered 3500 miles of terri
tory.
“What Is the Place of Women
in Society?” was the question
used last year.
Phi Thetas Give Skit
For Freshman Coeds
A skit by several Phi Theta
members was the main feature
*of an assembly for freshman wo
men, given Monday at Gerlinger
hall by Phi Theta Upsilon, junior
women’s honorary. The principal
members of the cast were Marge
Dibble, Barbara Hampson, Mary
Louise Vincent and Betty Jane
Biggs.
Other numbers of the program
included an original song, played
and sung by Helen Jane Kerr,
entitled “Waiting for Tomorrow.”
Earl Homer gave several humor
ous readings.

o’clock. There’ll be community
“Take The A’ Train.” Surprising
ly enough, it’s fair. Copied, of
course, from Duke E.’s Victor, it
smacks of an idea which I fail to
find in such other Miller gems as
“Baby Me.”
There were other records this
week too. Vaughn Monroe got a
good priorities rating so Blue
bird released his “Sam, You Made
The Pants Too Long.” This is, as
you all know by now if you read
Time, a satire on “Lord, You
Made The Nights the Same
Length” and other sundry torch
ies.
Fan Mail
My brother, the one who writes,
wrote me saying he didn’t under
stand this column and when he
did he didn’t like it.
He says it’s corny. All right. I
can be funny. I’ve got jokes. I
will now make with funn humor.
There are four musicians rid
ing along like mad in the larger
type wagon when along comes
that law. So after pulling over to
the curb and being given the effus
for breaking manys the limit, our
men (all rhythm: drums, keys,
gut, bass) let go with the follow
ing: “But, Jackson, this section
never speeds.” Ha. Ha. Ha. Very
funny I’m surely.

translation, “The Complete Greek

Volunteer Instructor
May Teach Dancing
Mr. Ladrew Moshberger, Span
ish instructor at Eugene high,
may lead a volunteer class in
Spanish folk dancing here at the
University.
Mr. Moshbcrger spent the sum
mer hi Mexico City at the Na
tional University of Mexico where
he took courses in Spanish folk
dancing and Spanish songs. He
brought several authentic cos
tumes back with him.
These classes were very suc
cessful last year with a volunteer
enrollment of between 35 and 40.
Kwamas Schedule
Assembly of Coeds
Kwama, sophomore women's
service honorary, will hold an as
sembly in the alumni room of
Gerlinger hall Wednesday, Oc
tober 15, at 4 p.m. for all fresh
man girls and those new to the
University this year.
The program given by the
members of the honorary will be
in the form of a style show, ex
plaining right and wrong dress
for the campus.

Strange “Citizens”
Their colorful dress along with
their strange ceremonial rituals
seemed fantastic and hardly did
it seem possible that people like
these could be found under the
American flag.
In April we managed to obtain
our passports (the passport direc
tor happened to be a Beta fra
ternity brother) and left imme
diately on a Japanese ship for
Japan in order to catch another
Japanese ship bound for Buenos
Aires via India and South Af
rica.
Showing the Ace
In order to obtain British visas
for travel in the Orient you have
to have a definite reason for
traveling to a British port and
here we had an ace up our sleeve.
With us we carried a personal
letter from Gaston Willoquet,
Free French consul in Manila,
stating our desires to join the
Free French movement in Duella,
French Cameroons, Africa.
We stopped in Hong Kong on
our way north, drove around the
island and with intense curiosity
we viewed the beaches flanked
with barbed wire, cement gun
emplacements and the camou
flaged pill boxes, leaving the har
bor for Shanghai we noticed a
double net strung across to pro
tect it from enemy craft and on
either side of the harbor entrance
huge guns were visible to the
naked eye.
Shanghai Newspapermen
Once in Shanghai we discov
ered our ship to South America
would not sail for another month
and to pass the time away we
looked fo rjobs. Lucky for
us, Mr. Howes, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, con
sidered Portland his home town
and after talking shop he of
fered to help us out. The jobs
started pouring in and Maurice
ended up as a reporter for the
China Press and I tried the un
thinkable-selling advertising to
the Chinese.
