Meetings

Newman Club meeting, according
to Bill Thompson, club president.
The meeting is scheduled for Sun
day night at 7 in the YWCA.
“Last week's group-discussion on
the ‘Boston College issue’ aroused
much comment among the mem
bers,” said Thompson. “Discussions
of that sort are held from time to
time. Most of the programs are
short talks by local personalities or
visiting speakers.”
The Newman Club is planning a
joint-picnic with the Oregon State
chapter May 15 at Benton-Lane
Park. Thompson said tickets for the
picnic will be for sale at this week’s

Finnish Student Wins
First IFC Scholarship
Oregon’s Inter-Fraternity coun
cil has awarded its first foreign
student scholarship to Matti Juhani
Raikkala, of Helsinki, Finland.
Raikkala, who is about twenty
three years old, is at present at
tending the Commercial University
at Helsinki, where he is studying
languages and foreign trade. He
will enter the University of Oregon
next fall term, with tuition, fees,
books, board, and room paid by the
University and the IFC.
Recommendations and biograph
ical information on several foreign
students were sent to the Oregon
IFC by the Institute of Internation
al Education, New York City. Sub
sequently the IFC chose Raikkala
for the first of its scholarships. The
Finnish students will be in the
United States for one year.
According to his application,
Raikkala is something of a sports
man, being particularly interested
in hunting. He also has an affinity
for “driving cars.” During the
course of his education he has serv
ed in the field artillery of the Finn
ish army.
Since Raikkala is primarily in
terested in trade, he will study
American practices at the UO
school of business. Upon returning
to Finland he will enter foreign
trade—“I will apply myself to the
rationalizing work in the service of
the Finnish foreign trade with the
view of specializing in the importa
tion from the United States to Fin
land.”
Thus far in his twenty-three
years, Raikkala has traveled no
farther than Copenhagen, Den
mark, and Gothenburg, Sweden.
However, he speaks Finnish, Swed
ish, German, and English.
While at Oregon, he will live at
the Theta Chi house. It is part of
the IFC’s plan to have the students
live in various fraternity houses on
campus.
