Brazilian Exchange Student Impressed with University By (iWEN SA.MIKI.SON Kinerald Fnitnrr Writer How would you feel if you had never been away from home in | your life and auddenly found you had been awarded a scholarship that would take you to another i country for a year ? Vera Lucia. Soores Bnlcao, 23, who arrived here at. the I’niver ■ «lty of Oregon three weeks afro :from her native Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, savs ahe hasn’t had time yet to be homesick. The beautiful Brazilian had only 15 days to prepare for her trip to Oregon after beinp notlfierl that ahe had won a $1000 scholarship from the Orepon Federation of Women's Clubs, and had only one eveninp in which to pack after receiving confirmation of her flight reser vations. Men's Competition Vera won the scholarship as the result of a competition sponsored by the Institute of International (education which she entered dur ing August of last year. The com petition consisted of three parts, with half of the contestants elimi nated in a language test and those remaining required to fill out questionaires and write auto biographies. Three students were then chosen and interviewed separately by members of the Institute. Vera was surprised and happy when she won the Brazilian compe tition. but had no idea that this recognition would bring her the Oregon Federation of Women’s •Clubs scholarship and that the American Board of Trustee* would pay her tuition to the Uni versity of Oregon. Teaches School Vera graduated in December. 1955. from the Catholic Univer sity of Rio do Janeiro in Anglo Kwama will be decorating f»c .goal posts for the two remaining home games and the Portland game.

But thei-c we were, all cry ing," she said. Flies to Eugene The trip to Eugene involved flying in six different planes, and Vera said she began to feel al most as casual about changing planes as she did about ordering coffee. Vera, who knew no one in the United States before she arrived, made many friends dur ing her trip. The first city in the U.S. she visited was Miami, which she thought was very beautiful as it reminded her of Rio. While she was there she was the guest of the first officer of the plane and his wife, and she plans to spend some more time in Miami when she returns to Brazil. Her next stop was at Houston and then Dallas, where her com panion on that Hight though;full} -noned ahead to Denver to assure Vera of a reservation on the proper plane. This was typical also of the kindnesses she met during her stop at Portland anti again at the end of the journej here at Eugene. lakes I'riendlinevs Vera said that she has not fell alone since coining to the L’nilec States because of the friendlines, of all the people she has encoun fered.
