"Dirty Sheets" Prompt No Action Was there any official reaction to complaints about a Homecom ing sign that read “OSU — Our Pants Are Off to You” that deco rated one sorority? There’ll be no official disci plinary action taken. But there were some phone calls by Ad ministration officials asking liv ing units to “re-evaluate” their signs, according to Bob Bowlin, dean of men. “I thought some of them were in poor taste, possibly belonging at other schools,” he added. The offending sign, which ap peared on the Emerald front page along with several others, were dubbed “dirty sheets.” Bowlin said there probably wouldn’t be any action in Stu dent Court. There aren't any rules to cov er it, “and I’d hate to see any more rules. But we could use a little more student responsibil ity in such cases,” he said.

Manmohan Jawa found echoes of agreement and some dissent from other foreign students. Jawa said the University failed on three counts: • Its student body is dominat ed by fraternities and sororities which he called “agents of social segregation." • Its curriculum is descended mainly from Britain (“there’s nothing universal about its cur riculum”). • Faculty and administration are mostly white. He said some American diffi culties in foreign policy prob lems can be traced to the lack of contact with other cultures that results. Another Indian student dis agreed with Jawa. “Segregation is not a common practice." He said that foreign students could not be shy if they wanted friend ships with Americans. “Since we have come half way around the world, we should be ready to go a little bit farther now that we’re here.” But he agreed that he has ex perienced segregation on the part of fraternities, “but never in so many words.” An American student agreed that Greek houses are an obstacle to full integration of foreign stu dents into University life. “Until we wipe out the fraternity sys tem, we can’t go much further.” Several students said that liv ing in a dormitory, at least for a term, can help in making friends. Costs for entertainment are anywhere from five to 20 times as much in America as in many | foreign students’ homelands, sev eral said. One Dutch student said that at home foreign students were given discounts or free ad mission to events at his univer sity. “The University Theatre is really good, but it’s too expensive for us.” Jawa drew some reaction from foreign student adviser Kenneth Ghent with a charge that foreign or black instructors are discrimi nated against by the University in hiring. t.hent said that was absolutely false. He said, "We’ll never totally achieve integration." But he said the University is trying "not to be provincial." If Oregon stu dents seem backward, he said, it’s because many are from small towns. He urged foreign students to be the venturesome ones in making friends with American students.
