Entertainment for the affair was supplied by the Delta Gamma trio, Shirley Gay Williams, Carol Eag ‘^eson and Shirley Gilbert singing i“When You Wore a Tulip” and f'Blue Skies.” George Hopkins, piano professor, played two selec tions. ,j FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE Sherman Holmes and Bud Lan ser, representing the ATO house ftnd the University Religious Coun Jcil, respectively, worked side-by fcide in planning the event. Refresh ments were served. Throughout the room was an air of friendly congeniality. As one lass from France remarked, “It is so pleasant and easy to make ac quaintances in the United States. In France it is not always so easy. I like speaking about my country to these people in this room be cause they look so interested.” In a far corner of the living room Mr. Hopkins was surrounded by students applauding__his rendi tion of one of Chopn’s (master pieces. I v-.._ FOUR FROM FOREIGN LANDS' The group includeo^Matti Raik kala from Finland. Dirk Schepers from Holland, Ernst Lutz from Austria, and Winifried Eggert from Bavaria. During the singing and playing, the foreign students were as one completely absorbed in the music being presented. When came time to leave all guests were reluctant to depart from the harmonious atmosphere the informal reception had pro duoed. “LIKE MORE OF SAME” Winfried Eggert summed up the thoughts of all present with, “We appreciated the evening very much and would like more of the same.” Said Mr. J. D .Klein, foreign stu dent adviser, “The affair was un usually successful. The benefits were two-fold in that it gave the foreign students a feeling that they are genuinely welcome on our campus. Also it acquainted the Eugene area persons, interested teachers and students with the foreign students. I hope it will be reflected in further similar events throughout the year.” Line Failure Causes Dim City Failure of two 230,000 volt power lines caused Eugene lights to go out shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday.
