(8) College Life in America Thrills Chinese Student By Abbott Paine “The biggest thrill in my life was when I found out I was really going to school in America,” said Cho Ting-Li, a Chinese graduate student who is majoring in archi tecture. Arriving in San Francisco Aug. 26, Ting-Li has been in America five weeks, just long enough to get settled at the University of Oregon and taste a sample of American customs and peculiarities. “Because I’m new in this country people are very friendly to me," he said, grinning from ear to ear. He continued, “They are very kind to me all the time.” Ting-Li, is living in Cherney hall with Peter Gong, a Chinese-Ameri can. He left Hong Kong, China, on Aug. 6, to begin his studies and new adventures in America. Ac companying him on a converted troop ship, among others, were about 70 Chinese, 40 Japanese, and 20 Filipinos ,all students, most of whom are now studying in eastern schools. GOT SCHOLARSHIP “With the help of the American Friends’ Service committee, I got a scholarship at an American school. Later in San Francisco, I found that I was to come to Ore gon,” he said. “The first thing I remember about San Francisco is the Golden Gate bridge,” Ting-Li related. “I got up early, about 4:30 a.m. just to see the bridge. Later the ship landed at the dock.” “Several of us got maps and went around to see the city,” Ting Li said. He continued, “We saw Union Square, the amusement park, and Chinatown.

IMPRESSED BY FRIENDLINESS When asked what in America especially impressed him, Ting-Li again mentioned friendliness. He said, "Once when a stranger found out I was new here from China, she came up to me and expressed hope that I would be very happy here.” Ting-Li, who is 26, has three sisters and one brother, all of whom are in Hong Kong. He left his home when 13 years of age and went to Peiping to study. Since then he has traveled over the greater part of China.

Theater Seeks OK for Plays Selection of the first University Theater production is pending per mission to produce one of several current plays, Horace W. Robinson told some 170 aspiring theater workers last week. Abbreviated because of con struction delays, the season will include five productions on dates to be spaced throughout the school year. A sixth play, produced under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie T. Sey bolt, associate professor of speech, will travel throughout the state. The spring term spectacle pro duction, previously viewed in Mc Arthur Court, will be moved to the University Theater. The 1949-50 version will be an opera or musical comedy to be produced in con junction with the School of Music. General readings to determine theater types will be held next week from Monday through Thurs day at 4 in the minor theater. Ap titudes of each reader will be listed on file cards which will be used to determine castings for the year. Casting dates for the first play will be announced at a later date. Part-time Work In Selling Open To Students Excellent opportunities for em ployment in the door-to-door sell ing field are now available to both men and women University stu dents, stated Karl Onthank, gradu ate placement director. “The typical door-to-door sales man does very well if he has am bition,” commented Onthank. “It is a good filler job to earn money and the salesman can set his own working hours.”' Onthank advised that when em ployers hire graduates for work in the selling field they prefer some one who has previously had actual selling experience. Any students interested in the positions should see either On thank at the graduate placement office in Emerald Hall, or Miss Shirley Sylvester, manager of the employment office in the old Y.M. C.A. building. i *r Oregana Schedules AnnualOpenHouse The Oregana’s annual open house, originally set for the even ing of Wednesday, Oct. 5, has been rescheduled for the evening of Oct. 6, 7:30 to 9:30, in order to avoid conflict with house desserts. “We will interview all persons interested in working on the Ore gana at that time,” announced Larry Davidson, editor. “Prior to the open house there will be no interviews of prospective workers.” Barbara Stevenson and Henry Panian have been appointed co chairmen of the open house.
