Not Unseen The bruised and battered face of Barney Holland has been living with us for the past few days as an unhappy reminder that football isn’t the only bone-jarring sport in cojlege ath letics. True, accidents and injuries seem to be a part of the game, and lie’s not the only man who has been so punished while playing for the University. But it’s a rough thing to see hap pen to one of the finest all-around athletes we’ve seen here in some time, We won’t say, nor would Bill Borcher approve of us saying, that Barney has been the vital cog on the ball team. We won’t say that missing him on the first string against Idaho (though Bill hopes he may see a little action) has ruined our chances against the Vandals. The kind of ball the Ducks play doesn’t depend on any one .man. It needs five good players, and on that count, at least, we’ve got one or two good men to spare. But the fact that someone else can plug the chink usually occupied by the husky Coos Bay guard doesn't make us feel any better about it. And say what you might, there will be something missing when Holland is off the floor—the dogged, -determined spirit of a guy who has been known to make up with guts those things he lacked in ability. In fact that seems to be his forte: the “coming along” from just an average ball player to what Borcher describes as “one of the best.” Witness this fall when a rough-edged third string quarterback worked his way past Dunham and Shaw to start against Stanford. That, too, was Barney Holland. Words have long been used to salve the.aches and pains of injured athletes—often, we suspect, without any particular sincerity involved. And certainly we can’t hope to improve Barney’s painful situation by what we say. But if perhaps Mr. Holland has wondered in this past week if anybody gave a hoot or cared about the banged-up guy who sits on the sidelines, we think we can make him feel a little Better. We would like to assure him that what he has done to ieep Oregon teams from being either lightly regarded or easily ■overcome has not gone unseen or unappreciated. (J.H.)

Radio Review. Television Scramble Hits Eugene by Don Collin The old television hack sprung up last week when some com plaints were lodged against the Eugene radio stations for a con spiracy to keep TV out of the Eugene market. Actually, there are four chan nels for the area — one VHF, three UHF of which one is for Springfield. The complainants charged that because of the KORE - KUGN applications for the VHF channel, the allocation couldn’t be made and the Eugene radio would be safe. One applica tion has been filed for the UHF and there are two channels open. Want to get into the TV busi ness? Here's your chance.

'Shadows Move.. / AUUelhoi^i A Study of Society's Sacred Cows While Mabel Goes Into the Bushes By Michael Lundy ‘‘Shadows Move Among Them" by Edgar Mittelholzer is one of the most bizarre and refreshing books we have read for years. Published recently by Pocket Books in a twenty-five cent edi tion, the story is a highly polish ed and sparkling diamond among the flood of mundane books we are normally subjected to. On the surface, it is a story of the return to sanity of a young English soldier in a col ony settlement of British Gu iana. Beneath that, it is a pen etrating study of manners and morals which pokes fun at many of the most sacred rows of our society’s mores, by con trasting them with the natur ally and Imaginatively-run lives of the people in the book. Berkelhoost is a British mis sion in the jungle, but not in any sense is it a normal mission. The Reverend Harmston's reli gion is compounded of equal parts discipline and imagination. The world’s lterature and reli gion have been transformed into a rich and happy fabric of myth The College Crowd _Campus Headlines Elsewhere By Rae Thomas Several fraternities at Stan ford reported that money and other valuables had been stolen from wallets in upstairs rooms during rush week’s open houses. * * * Florida sunshine brought thfj^; spring term spirit to 500 male ' students at University of Miami. This winter they raided a wom en’s residence and made off with numerous unmentionables. Three participants were expelled from school and more are being con sidered for expulsion. * * * From the Classified ad column of the Daily Northwestern: “Lost -—Beta pin. Last seen on a west bound Alphi Chi. Finder may keep pin, please return girl.” * • In England, Sheffield univer sity announced beer drinking competition, which promised to be the start of a hallowed tradi tion, was somewhat abridged last month when several temperance unions shouted in protest. Lem onade will be used instead.'Droll. * * * At the University of Connecti cut recently, a professor of so ciology was lecturing on the so cial customs and sex habits of certain African tribes when two embarrassed young freshmen tried to make an inconspicuous exit. Just as they reached the door, the prof called after them, “Don’t go now, girls, the boat doesn’t leave until Monday!” He should know . . . and folklore which forms the basis for living of the mission families. The facts of life are quite frankly accepted in this jungle utopia. Nudity is commonplace in the hot climate. If Mr. Harm- - ston's daughter Mabel feels in love with a young native it is quite in order for her to go off into the bush with him. Modern methods of health, cleanliness and caution are taught the nat ives as well as the settlers' chil dren by Mr. Harmston's school. 4 The natural rights and desires of every human being are recogniz ed and protected, and the arts and imagination are given equal recognition, so that each per son’s life is full and rich. Gregory Hawke rome* to the mission at Berkelhoost fresh from the war in Spain and the death by drowning of his wife. His mind and personality have been almost completely mal adjusted by the inanities and complexities of modern civili zation and the Ilarmston fam ily undertake to restore his sanity with love and the sim plicity and exuberance of their way of living. All in all, reading ‘‘Shadows Move Among Them” is an orig inal and wonderful experience. As many musty old cobwebs were swept out of our mind while reading it as were swept from Gregory’s mind. It is highly rec ommended that you steal three hours before midterms and read it. notes to the editor There is a current misconcep tion among the students on the campus that only foreign stu dents are wanted at the Interna tional Fun Fest. From the very moment of its conception a few years ago, the purpose of this an nual gathering of foreign stu dents from the various colleges in Oregon on the U of O campus has been misunderstood. On be half of my committee, I shall like to explain the basic purpose of theis fun fest. It was felt that there was a need for American students and the residents of Eugene to meet at least Once a year foreign stu dents of as many countries as possible on a social level. It was also felt that it would give for eign students the opportunity of meeting students from their own countries. For the purpose of ex changing views and news, the in ternational fur fest became an annual affair. The program this year is, therefore, built on this principle. It is, therefore, not only that we want American students; their presence is an essential towards the success of the program. This year American students will have the opportunity of knowing the type of student life in foreign universities as com pared to US campuses at the after dinner forum. To add flavor to the whole program, the cli max of the evening’s program is centered on the entertainment by foreign students at the mixer after the ball game. In the past, U of <> under graduates have shown an apathy in their attendance at the fun festival giving rise to a miscon ception on the part of the foreign students that the American stu dents are disinterested. I know that the American undergraduate is vitally inter ested in the whole world around them. I know they regard us for eign students as one of the best methods by which they can understand how the world thinks. I hope that they will translate their interest by helping us make our fun fest a successful one by their presence. Ted Coh General Chairman International Cun Fest Committee
