Kline Named
UO Foreign
Student Head

was recommended this week by
the committee on international af
fairs and scholarships to be Uni
versity foreign student adviser.
Kline’s appointment is subject
to the approval of President H. K.
Newburn.
“This is the first time that we
have had such an official, Clifford
L. Constance, registrar, stated
yesterday. Interested faculty mem
bers and officials have aided for
eign students, but they have had
no centralized office from which
to obtain information.
Kline’s new duties will consist
of making available to foreign stu
dents attending the University in
formation on immigration, visas,
working, reports to be filed, and
admission and academic require
ments.
He will also inform Oregon stu
dents about requirements for com
pleting studies abroad.
“An adviser of this type has been
needed very badly for a number of
years,” Donald M. DuShane, direc
tor of student affairs, commented.
“We will now have one place where
information pn requirements and
regulations will be available for
all students.
“In former years, information
has been scattered about all over
the campus in the hands of profes
sors, deans, the graduate place
ment and student affairs offices.”
Kline will continue in his post
as assistant registrar.

When asked why she came to
the University, Harriet explained
that during the war when all wom

leave Hawaii, her mother, who was
originally from Grants Pass, her
three brothers and herself came to
Oregon. She attended the ninth
and tenth grades in Eugene before
returning to Hawaii where she was
at Panahou high school in Hono
lulu.
“I was amazed at all the white
people when I came to the United
States," she exclaimed, "because
all through grade school there
were only two other' white children
in my school. All of the others are
Oriental or Hawaiian, and the ma
jority of them are barefooted at
that,” she added.
Since Harriet who is a member
Kappa Kappa Gamma has been
at Oregon, she has been a mem

member of the quartet that has
