Spreading the Word
Oregon and Eugene’s name will spread to 16 different parts
of the world this summer, when the 16 foreign students spon
sored by campus living groups return to their native lands.
Each of these students has been favorably impressed with
Oregon and American college life, each will return home and
tell their fellow countrymen of American life.
Next year, it is hoped even more foreign students may come
to Oregon. On the desk of J. D. Kline, foreign student adviser,
are 31 applications of top-notch students. The University will
provide them with fee scholarships; other organizations will
furnish incidentals.
The major expense left for these foreign students is room
and board. This past year, some fraternities and sororities
sponsored students by giving them room and board. Costs
have been estimated at between 50 cents and one dollar a
month from every house member. m
Such a small expense is not much. The foreign students ap
preciate the opportunity of living with regular students, and
in addition they have a lot to offer to their hosts.
Contact with foreign students gives the home-bodies a
chance to travel without leaving'their living room.
In the next few days, we will run some articles by foreign
students giving their impressions of their year at Oregon.
If any one doubts the value of sponsoring foreign students,
these articles should put an end to their questions.
The $64 Questions
To help students out during mid-terms, the Seton Hill Col
lege Paper, Greensburg, Pa., published samples of questions
asked in exams.
Since mid-terms are now hitting Oregon, and since the test
•questions are quite similar, we thought we’d pass on the infor

English:
1. “The night was warm and mellow
The stars were mystically profound,
Her dress was silk-and yellow
Except for the breeze, no sound.”
Analyze the above verse, being sure to answer the following
questions: What is the poet trying to do? What mood does he
wish to capture? What is the meaning of “mystically pro
found?” Why use sik instead of rayqn or cotton? What is the
significance of the breezes? Why is there “no sound? What is
the relationship between “was” in line 1 and ‘ was in line 3?
2. When Lady Macbeth says, “Out damned spot,” why does
she want the dog to leave?
3. In the story we read, what was the author s purpose in
making Francisco’s mother a woman? Why wasn t his father
also a woman? Explain fully.

to get the most satisfaction from the funds he has available. He
should: a) allocate a certain percentage of his fund to the sat
isfaction of certain wants; b) make the ratios of prices of
things bought equal to the ratios of their marginal utilities;
c) marry a girl who is working and go to school under the G. I.

Confusion: Cynics and Fallen Arches
by Bob tyunk.
Well, now that election
days are over it seems rather
too bad that it took three
days of voting to get the
durned constitution through.
Some of the more cynical
members of our little circle
of fellow neurotics point to
this as an indication that stu
dents don't give a good conti
nental for student govern
ment.
There are quite possibly a
number of students who
don’t. However, that is an
other point in favor of the
new constitution—it ought,
by all that is holy, to create
a lot of interest in the ASUO.
The new constitution is go
ing to “expand” and “revital
ize” the ASUO* These are
pretty crudely words, but if
the'constitution does all this,
we’re going to have some fine
times ahead. We may even
see the time when the “apath
etic SO per cent” turns out at
the polls come election day.
We’ll be watching the pro
ceedings, anyway, and taking
notes.

This is house dance season,
and all of us old social lions
are taping up our fallen arches
and preparing “aw-and-I’m
sure-glad-to-meet-y o u-t o o”
smiles for chaperones.
House dances confuse us
rather horribly since we
never quite understand the
themes. Last night we went
to one named after a hothouse
flower. The decorations, how
ever, were Chinese, and din
ner was smorgasbord. We
had a headache.
There are always those
people who come up to you
and say “and look what we
-did with just a little paint and
some crepe paper.” Ye gods,
LOOK what they did with
just a little paint and some
crepe paper.
Also, at house dances we al
ways have the feeling that no
one ever washes the punch
cups, but just use them over
and over again. Sometimes
we run our fingers around the
rim to see if they’re sticky, .
but this practice is frowned
upon.

On the Ato
KDUK Drive Begins--The Reasons Why
Ltf, Ma/ity 'U/eittyH&i
The drive to obtain funds
for KDUK has finally begun.
We are glad to, see that it is
taking the form it is, for sev
eral reasons. First, the fate
of a campus station is being
placed in the hands of the
WHOLE student body. Sec
ond, if the students vote
thumbs up on the project,
then the people sponsoring
KDUK are committed to go
through with the project.
Further, the person ordi
narily not concerned with a
campus station, will be want
ing to know what happens to
his or her contribution. As
any horse player can tell
you, “There ain't nothing can
get you interested like having
a couple of bucks on a race.”
Our situation is a little dif
ferent. There will be no finan
cial payoff to contributors,
but there will also be no los
ers. Everyone will benefit
from this drive.
Looking toward the future,
when KDUK record shows,
dramatic programs, and other
features will be drawing a lot
of campus attention, some
energetic people up in Villard
Hall, in conjunction with the
Eugene radio stations, are
conducting a local version of -
the movies’ academy award.
Students are asked to submit
votes for the best student per
formances, writing, and pro
duction jobs. Winners will
receive their trophies at a ban
quet at the end of the year.
The sponsors are struggling
to come up with a name like
the “Oscar” Hollywood
hands out, or the “Toni” that
the New York theater critics
present, or the ‘Neut’ awards
of the University theater. To
anyone coming up with a
suitable idea, we will present
two tickets to “South Blaly
stok,” the musical hit of the
current Moscow theater sea
son.
Seems like spring term
brings out the cooperative
spirit in some of us. Last
year a couple of energetic
souls started a gas co-op to
save student motorits some
money. Now they have the
welfare of student eaters at
heart. A couple of hamburg
er houses are offering re
duced rates via a co-op mem
bership basis. House man
agers please note.
We were once thinking of
going even further, and start
ing a clothes co-op. It would
be one of those deals where
every member contributed his
clothes. Then we could all--,
switch wearing apparel and'
always appear dressed in the
latest style.
Maybe we’ll do it some- .
day, but right now we can’t
seem to find anything to
serve as our own contribu
tion.
9n the Racj,
The Boomerang: Oh, Oh, Emerald Editor
jQ
To the Editor:
Just happened to pick up
an issue of the Emerald and
read your editorial, “Oh, Oh,
Old Oregon.” (April 21). Oh,
Oh, Emerald Editor, such a
nasty crack to take at Editor
Jim Wallace who is away
from campus, degree in hand,
and who can’t fight back. Just
to show you how easy it is to
make a mistake, read your
editorial over again.
You say that the girl in the
inside picture is not married.
She is, editor—I know be
cause I took the picture—
sometime in 1948 and it has
resided in Editor Wallace’s
files all this time. And I also
took the cover picture, al
though it was credited to
Deane Bond. The cover shot
was taken in June 1949. A lot
can happen in a year. True,
Jim was probably pretty
rushed, what with graduat
ing and everything, but as
you should know, editors are
human, too.
Had you not written that
editorial, probably no more
than a few dozen people
would have known the truth,
but now . .. tsk, tsk.
Regards,
Kirk. Braun
