Students Give Money To Put 2 Japanese through School By DICK RICHARDSON Emerald Feature Editor The best way to learn about the culture of another country is to meet directly with the people of that country. Students in Paul S. Dull’s Far East in Modern Times class have this opportunity of learning about Japan. IN 1955 DULL and the stu dents in his Far East class estab lished the O rego n-Okayama Friendship Fund to put a Japan ese girl through medical school. With money given by the stu dents Miss Junko Akiyama was able to attend four years of medi cal school at Okayama University in Okayama, Japan, and become a doctor. The project was discontinued in 1959 when Dull, professor of history, was out of school, but was started again last year. The government of the prefecture of Okayama could not find a second girl to put through medical school, however, so a boy was chosen instead. Harpham Cup Will Be Given At Sing The Josephine Evans Harpham Silver Cup Award will be award ed at the All-Campus Sing Junior W eekend, to the living organiza tion having shown the greatest interest in the house library pro gram and recreational reading. Organizations are judged in the number, qaulity and variety of books the students read, as well as the improvement of reading and house GPAs. House librarians have been responsible for a rec ord of the organization's progress. Mrs. Harphan. a resident of Eu gene, established the award in 1948 to stimulate the develop ment of student's reading habits. The award, in the shape of an open silver book mounted on a wooden standard, was won by Dy ment hall last year: Dyment was then a women’s dormitory. In subsequent years Rebec House has received tlje award four times and Tri-Delt three times. IN A FEW weeks the money given by students this year will be sent to Fumio Meguro. the boy chosen last year and now in his first year of medical school, to pay next year's costs. Fumio has corresponded with Dull at the University, and stu dents interested in Japan may correspond with Fumio. Dull said several sororities have corres ponded with Miss Akiyama. The friendship fund was started for two reasons, Dull said. "One is naturally philanthropic and the other is that the U.S. can stand more friends in the world. "The program has done much to make the Japanese friendly to Americans,” he said, "and has also benefited Oregon students. It gives them a chance to find out first-hand about Japanese cul ture.” THE PREFECTURE of Okaya ma was chosen for the project, Dull said, because he has lived there and knows the government officials and because it represents one of the few vestiges left of • old" Japan. Okayama is located on the main island of Honshu 90 miles south of Kobe. SU Calendar Wednesday.

He said fraternities, sorori ties, cooperatives, dormitories and some individuals have contribut ed. Contributions are 100 percent voluntary. Dull stressed. ALL THAT is needed to put Fumio through one year of medi cal school is $140, which pays for his tuition, books, and fees. Dull said that any money col lected over the $140 will either be used to set up a fund in Japan to be used to pay next year’s costs, or will be used to exchange Christmas gifts with’Japanese or-; phans. In previous years Dull and his students have also exchanged gifts with orphans. In 1959 Dull and his family went to Japan and he received from the Okayama government a citation for laudable achievement which he accepted in the name of his students who could not be present.
