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

basis for living of the mission

The facts of life are quite
frankly accepted in this jungle
utopia. Nudity is commonplace
in the hot climate. If Mr. Harm- -

quite in order for her to go off
into the bush with him. Modern
methods of health, cleanliness
and caution are taught the nat

dren by Mr. Harmston's school. 4
The natural rights and desires of

recognition, so that each per

been almost completely mal
adjusted by the inanities and
complexities of modern civili

ily undertake to restore his

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.
