There is a shortage of many foods in Norway. Alvhild is auditing her courses at the University, which include English composition, voice and dic tion, and Far East relations. When asked about her trip from Norway, she replied that it was a little rough for a few days, during which time most of us were in bed.” Her mother accompanied her and they are both living with an uncle in Eugene.

A scholarship is enabling her to do graduate work leading up to her master's degree here. Courses such as speech defects, remedial read ing, and education occupy her Uni versity life. She plans to teach in a university in Chile when she re turns in June. Maria finds her home town of Concepcion quite similar to Eugene, even to the large amount of rain here. She thinks that possibly Eu gene is a little greener though. She tasted her first Chinese food here in Portland after’ a football game and was enthusiastic over both it and the game. Maria's scholarship came from the Oregon Federation of Wom en’s clubs through the Chilean-1 American Cultural Institute.

D. Erickson, assistant professor of geology, as serted the eleven wastern states will come less dependent on the East for steel products which will give them a more balanced econ omy. Speaking before a social science meeting Monday night he said “None of the western states has the proper proportion of workers and manufacturing that the average state has as a whole.” “Most manufacturers in Oregon and Washington are in lumber and lumber extraction industries. As we gradually become somewhat less dependent on lumber, we must fill in with some other type of manu facturing,” he continued. The West normally uses 30 to 35 per cent of the tin cans used in the United States, while large amounts of steel mill products are always used in the west, Erickson pointed out. With steel-producing capacity on the west coast trippled since the be ginning of World War II, the West can begin to balance its large post war population in such cities as San Francisco. Los Angeles, and others, on one hand, and, its lack of heavy industry to absorb this excess popu* lation, on the other. Erickson's talk on "The Signifi cance of Western Steel on the In dustrial Map,” was followed by crit ical comments by W. E. Ballatine, professor of business administra tion.
