Inquiring Reporter Are Americans Less Serious About Studies? By Larry Hobart Do you think that foreign stu dents consider their education more seriously-than American stu dents ? Oregon students, among them several foreign students, gave the following answers. Dave Karr—sophomore in libe ral arts—“On the average foreign students seem to consider their education more seriously. Here at the University we only see the pick of the foreign students, those who are serious minded. One would have to visit their homelands to get a true picture.’’ Mary Louise Johnson—freshman in art—“The foreign students have come a long distance to get an education, while many American students just come to college to play. Foreign students often do not have the outside interests that Americans do, so they turn to studies.” Luther Ohio—graduate student in math—“I think that students are about the same everywhere. Even in China there are those stu dents who do not study. Graduate work in China has been difficult due to the war. I find that Chinese students here work very hard.” l^ariue uaiuei—demux m —“Too many of us are here just to have fun or because there was nothing else to do. Maybe it’s be cause the most superior of the foreign students are studying here, that they all seem to get so much more out of their classes.” Nan Gaveney—senior in social science—“I don’t think that they are more serious minded—not after they have been over here awhile— but they do seem to take their studies more to heart.” H. D. Hague—sophomore in writ ing—“Foreign students don’t have as many outside interests to divert their attention. Their philosophies and ours are completely different. The differences in cultural back grounds and standards of living cause them more or less to by-pass the world that they live in here and, having the same energies that we have, they divert them into studies.’ Donna Halvorson—junior in psy chology—“Coming from countries devastated by war and studying in cold classrooms with inadequate facilities, foreign students appre ciate education more and are will ing to work harder. We take edu cation for granted.” Ken Fors—sophomore in busi ness administration—“Many peo ple in Europe are suffering from melancholy. Students in countries outside the United States are more serious about their education, but the American system of taking time out to play makes for a hap pier generation of people.” Lorraine Lysell—freshman in in terior design—“I think that for eign students are more serious about education. They take advant age of every opportunity that comes along, but they still seem to have a good time.’ Master's Exams Set Candidates for master’s degrees in music will be given examina tions from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Friday, and Monday in 103, School of Music, E.
