The University’s interest in Nepal is based on the University of Oregon-Nepal education proj ect of the 1950's.

EPISCOPALIANS — The Holy Communion — GERUNGER HALL 7:00 a.m. each Wednesday Breakfast following the Service f On Campos * (Author of “I Was a Tun-age Dwarf’, “The Many Loves of Dofne Gillis”, etc.) HOW TO SEE EUROPE FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 1 Summer vacation is just around the corner, and naturally all of you are going to Europe. Perhaps I can offer a handy tip or two. (I must confess that I myself have never been to Europe, but I do have a French poodle and a German shepherd, so I am not entirely unqualified.) First let me say that no trip to Europe is complete without a visit to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Lichtenstein, Holland, Belgium, Luxem bourg, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Po land, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, Crete, Sardinia, Sicily, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Lapland, and Andorra. Let us take up these countries in order. First, England. fite dJ ones dr tfirod^ms/ The capital of England is London— or Liverpool, as it is sometimes called. There are many interesting things to see in London—chiefly the changing of the guards. The guards are changed daily. The old ones are thrown away. Another “must” while in London is a visit to the palace of the Duke of Marlborough. Marlborough is spelled Marlborough, but pronounced Marlboro. English spelling is very quaint, but terribly disorganized. The late George Bernard Shaw, author of LUtle Women, fought all his life to simplify English spelling. They tell a story about Shaw once asking a friend, “What does g-h-o-t-i spell?” The friend pondered a bit and replied, “Goatee.” Shaw sniggered. “Pshaw,” said Shaw. “G-h-o-t-i does not spell goatee. It spells fish." “How is that?” said the friend. Shaw answered, “Gh as in enough, o as in women, ti as in motion. Put them all together, you get fish.” This was very clever of Shaw when you consider that he was a vegetarian. And a good tiling he was. As Disraeli once re marked to Guy Fawkes, “If Shaw were not a vegetarian, no lamb chop in London would be safe.” But I digress. We were speaking of the palace of the Duke of Marlborough—or Marlboro, as it is called in the United States. It is called Marlboro by every smoker who enjoys a fine, rich breed of tobaccos, who appreciates a pure white filter, who likes a soft pack that is really soft, a Flip-Top box that really flips. Be sure you are well supplied with Marlboros when you make your trip abroad. After a long, tiring day of sightseeing there is nothing so welcome as a good flavorful Marlboro and a foot bath with hot Epsom salts. Epsom salts can be obtained in England at E[>som Downs. Kensington salts can be obtained at Kensington Gardens, Albert salts can be obtained at Albert Hall, Hyde salts can be obtained at Hyde Park, and the crown jewels can be obtained at the Tower of London. The guards at the Tower of London are called Beefeaters * because they are always beefing about what they get to eat. This is also known as “cricket” or “petrol.” Well, I guess that about covers England. In next week’s column we will visit the Land of the Midnight Sun—France. ©1863 Mai Shulman * * * Wherever you may roam in Europe and in all fifty states of the Union, you’ll find Marlboro ever-present and ever-pleasant—filter flavor, pack or box.
