He began this wmrk by developing a simple meth od of teaching language to illiter ates among the Moslem Moros of Mindanao, Philippine islands. ».

This system enables il literates, picked at random from street or field, to read in an in credibly short time. Some have learned in less than an hour, others take a day or several days, depend ing on the intelligence of the pupil and the difficulty of his language.

He met with government, educational, and church leaders and has received enthusiastic response to his sys tem.

I.O.U.’s Beat Yeomen Five Playing an air tight zone de fense the IOUs, Independents of Oregon University, swamped a team of basketball players from the the Yeomen organization as they took them into camp by a score of 28 to 4. Only once were the Yeomen able to score on the independents, their only other scores coming on gift tosses. Following in the footsteps of this seemingly impregnable de fense was a fast working and pass ing offense that readily gave the victors set up positions for scores. The independents opened in a hail of scores as they posted an 11 to 1 lead, following this up with a 22 to 2 margin as the game neared an end. At this point the Yeomen scored their only two pointer of the night as a pass from Pete Marsh to Jack Craig under the basket enabled the losers to score. The independents’ attack was paced by Harry Summers, Milt Sparks, Morrie Mink, and Steve Dippel, as their smooth working offensive and defensive work en abled them to rack up their win. 3.$tudents Have_ Poems Published Three poems by University stu dents have been accepted for pub lication in the “Annual Anthology of College Poetry,” according to an announcement from the National Poetry association. “Death,” by Schubert Fendrick, freshman; “Sonnet VII,” by Dru silla Johnson, senior, and “Greens,” by Maxine E.
