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.
Members are planning an ex
change with the sophomore men
and women's honoraries at OSC
in the near future.
Mortar Board
The Mortar Board is working
on the Study Help Program, theii
fall term project. This program
Ft" designed to plan special assist
ance for freshman women. In
addition, they are planning their
annual Smarty Party to be held

nation of English, German, Por
tuguese and Latin. She has been
teaching English and Portuguese
for a year and a half in a srhoo’
in Rio. as well as teaching Png
lish to adults and giving private
lessons in languages.
The opportunity to come to
Oregon was awarded her in
August, which is right in the
middle of the school year in Bra
zil. and Vera regretfully parted
1 from her 140 pupils, aged five
(through 12.
“I had no idea they liked me
they’ did such awful things in
■•lass. 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.

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. The vivacious girl is verj
happy here at Oregon, and ha;
become especially fond of the
girls she is living with at A nr
Tudson House. She even looks for
ward to the rain everyone warm
her about since she feels that
nothing will dampen her enthusi

different from that of her coun
