Youngster in Pre-Med School Slke Dogs, Music, No Rain By RUTH VAN BUSKIRK “There are no webs in my feet—yet,” laughingly announc ed Morton Sanford Reichart, 17-year-old junior in pre-medics, as he discarded a drenched raincoat. “There’s no logic to Ore gon rain; I simply can’t predict it.” A transfer from the University of Pennsylvania, Morton is high ly enthusiastic about Oregon and the University campus life. “I like the casuality—the lack of convention of dress and ac tions,” he observed. ‘‘Everything is so haphazard and natural!” Social Balance Of campus life in general he impressed by the progressive sjWit, the excellent balance of so cial activities, study and work ‘‘The students here are develop ing what it takes for success when they leave school,” he added. I Say, Old Chap In his expressive English ac cent, he spoke seriously for a mo ment when questioned about his last trip to England in 1940, ‘T was particularly impressed by the lack of selfishness of the English people. America is so dif ferent,” he continued, ‘‘life is ma terialistic, selfish for individual benefit. With the war, however, came a unity, showing that, like England, America knows for what it is fighting. The English and the Americans are a lot alike fundamentally.” Lots to Say ^jpith a realm of conversational t“ics at his fingertips, Reichart exclaimed that he could talk more intelligently at a piano. ‘‘I don’t remember exactly when I began studying music, but I studied at the New Eng land Conservatory of Music for years,” he said. His favorite composition Is Tschaikowsky’s fifth symphony. ‘‘It’s like life—it has every thing the world has,” he ex plained. ‘‘From the depths of emotion it swells to unbounded height—just as human feelings and emotions.” But despite his love for classi cal music, he also enjoys popu lar music, especially the current war songs. Speech Trouble 0ATith a chuckle Morton stated ^pt the hardest thing to become accustomed to was the ‘‘lan guage” of the Oregonians. The word ‘‘deal” he is especially fond of. ‘‘It covers such a large range of things,” he laughed. ‘‘When I use it, I feel like an Oregonian— but .1 can't get used to phrases like “That shows me a lot" and “He’s quite a ‘character’—al though I’ve really met one per son who fits that description— Roy Paul Nelson, Emerald col umnist!” Another thing he likes about the Oregon campus is the bevy of dogs here. One dog particularly —“I don’t know whose dog it is, but I feed it every night.” Just about this time the dog in men tion bounded around the corner. Shifting “Rosco” to his shoulder, Morton laughed, and with a mer ry twinkle in his eyes exclaimed —“The more I see of some dogs, the less I want to see of some people!” How Time Is Made (Continued from page tivo) fore it is approved and ready to be printed. Time, the weekly magazine, is printed in Chicago and Philadel phia simultaneously. This, the publication’s staff claims, makes possible the great speed in mail ing to the farthermost sections of the country. Technical points illustrated in the display were: method of re laying stories to printing centers by the teletypesett on machine: development of the cover; and the construction of the map accom panying the story. Regarding maps, the display board says: “As war thunders from country to country, Times map makers gather pertinent data, swiftly put it together in maps that save you time because they show all the information needed' to understand the daily news and nothing more.” Sample copies of Time’s Span ish and Air Mail editions were also shown. Three sections of the magazine are translated into Spanish and rushed by mail to South America for reprinting in 23 Latin American newspapers. The special Air-Mail edition is printed on lightweight paper and flown by air express each week to 29.000 English-reading people throughout Latin America.
