Free Egypt Advocated “Egypt just wants to be left alone,’’ said Assiz Sidky, Egyptian student at the University, in a talk last week before the One World club. Sidkey told the group 'of the Egyptians’ struggle ot gain freedom from British rule. He said that in the 65 years during which British troops have occupied his country, an equal number of promises had been made ensuring Egypt that she could have hre independence. Independence Sought He emphasized that all his home land wanted was to have the posi tion of an independent country among countries. Sidky said that no Egyptian saw any need for any for eign country occupying their soil. Egypt was active in the war, he asserted, especially in the North Af rican theater, but now that the fighting is past, Britain is attempt ing to keep her in a quasi-possession state. Arab Unification The Pan-Arabic league was brief ly outlined, the architecture student telling how some day the old dream of uniting all the Arab countries of Asia and Africa might come true. He likened the league to the United States, in that all countries would have a degree of self-management, while a central government would integrate the whole. Sidky expressed hope that Amer icans, who are for the most part un aware of Egypt’s attempt to shake off imperialism, would learn the facts in the situation and at any op portunity attempt to further the cause of Egypt’s freedom. In 1901, the appropriation for the Eugene summer school for teachers ^was $400. 2000 Is the Number to Call to get your reservations for the Reopening of The Persian Room CAMPUS CALENDAR Meeting of the membership com mittee of the Deutsche Gesellschaft ir. room 102 Friendly at 7 p.m. to night.
