Argentinian, Carlos Pesado, Likes Oregon 'Fine'
Tells Travel, Differences Of Schools And People
Carlos Pesado lives in a second
floor room at the western end of
Merrick hall. When the window is
open he can hear the chaos of notes
from the music practice huts. On
his bed is a blanket with a lemon
colored “O” in the middle; out in
Oregon atmosphere, Carlos is
thinking of the town of San Juan
in western Argentina. It was only
last June that he boarded a plane

“I did not come on the boat—it
would have been too slow. I flew
up so that I’d be here in time for
summer session.”
Carlos knew almost no English
when he arrived. “Back in San
Juan I took high school English,
the same that you might take Span
ish. I learned to say ‘this is a bed’
and ‘here is the chair,’ but you can't
converse with that kind of Eng
glish.”
“The people here are much the
same as the people in Argentina.
We think and talk about the same
things. In comparing the friends
I have here with the friends I have
in Argentina, I can see very little
difference. Of course, things like
the climate and the kind of food
differ, but it isn’t hard to adjust
to that.”
Webfoot Influence
Carlos came to Oregon because
of the influence of a Webfoot
friend—“and I like it fine.” He is
majoring in business administra
tion at the present time, although
his chief interest is learning the
English language. At the end of
the 1948-49 year he will go to
Michigan to continue his education.
Back at San Juan, Carlos was a
chemistry major. “College is run
on a different basis in Argentina.
We have three oral examinations
which take place in November,
March, and July. A student can
British Debate
Set October 25
Warren Miller and Jack Miller
will speak for the affirmative of
the question: Resolved, that the
British Empire is decadent. The
combined British Universities De
bating team will argue the nega
tive at a debate October 25 in the
Music auditorium.
Warren Miller is a graduate as
sistant in political science and
veteran of Symposium and inter
collegiate speaking. He was ASUO
vice-president last year, and presi
dent of USA, campus political
party formed last Spring term.
Graduate Student
Jack Miller, a graduate student
in education, is a former intercol
legiate debater at Moorhead col
lege, Kentucky.
The British debate is being spon
sored jointly by the local chapter
of Delta Sigma Rho, national fo
rensic society; education activities,
and the Symposium.
The members of'the British team
will participate in a discussion of
international affairs in room 3
Fenton at 4 p.m. the same day.
flunk the first two, but if he flunks
the July examination—well!”
Students “free”
Another interesting practice in
Argentine colleges is the students
are in no way compelled to attend
classes. A student may stay away
all year with no damage to his
grades—supposing, of course, that
he keeps up on the reading and
passes that crucial July test.
“Instead of living in fraternity
and sorority houses, or in dorms,
students generally live in private
gon way much better.”
