A Typewriter Warned In Hell By JOCK HATFIELD Of the Emerald Police are still trying to piece together evidence in the Eugene thigh murder case. Meanwhile, the trial drags on. The judge says he hopes to achieve a fair arid unbiased ver dict, in spite of hundreds of dis memberment jokes now making the rounds. "This is a grave and serious issue," he says with a thigh. * ********* Learn Chinese in 30 years: For the next 30 years, the Emerald, in conjunction with the University language department, will be offering this clip-out Chinese course. The language department thinks it is a good in vention, because it offers a chance for daily readers to digest a language without thinking.

Languages such as French, Italian, Spanish and German, bear many resemblances to En glish, and therefore offer the stu dent only half-assed cultural di versity. But Chinese has abso lutely no similarity to anything in telligible. Students will be mari nated and pickled in cultural di versity, and will spend many happy hours in wonderment. At the end of 30 years, students will get special satisfaction out of being able to say everything they say now with different words. True, students who try their lan guage out in China will look like damned fools. But as long as our students stay within English speaking countries, they will pass for intellectuals and feel well re warded for their 30-year invest ment. Now let’s try today’s sentence. ‘Uncle Ho we mean business.’’ It comes out differently in Chinese: ars-ist. Repeat after me: Once more: hRiLlffiDi, $On« ftjjjcFfftm.mfoVik Very good. In Chinese, your voice rises at the beginning of each letter, falls at then end and fools around a good deal in be tween. Pronounce the following sylla bles with the aid of the intonation arrow: and ®jE£ Now put them together: r j Very good. The Chinese have no R sound in their language, so go back and delete all the Rs you have pronounced since the be ginning of this lesson and substi tute the vowel sound Do this three times. Next week we will cope with the idiomatic expression: which gave the first white visitors to China a very good laugh. ********** Ducks, have you been raped recently? The rape crisis line can help.

Native Americans set visit By CINDA ARNOLD Of the Emerald Fourteen students from Chemawa Indian School in Salem will participate in a University visi tation program sponsored by the Native American Student Union (NASU) today and Saturday. The program arose from a need for more active recruitment of minority students, according to Kathy Stevens, project director. She hopes it will increase aware ness of higher education to Native American high school students. The students arrive this after noon to tour the campus and visit various departments. Saturday morning University Pres. William Boyd will speak to the group, and academic advisors from selected departments will speak about var ious fields of study and career al ternatives available in those fields. In the afternoon, the students will tour dormatories before par ticipating in a forum on community and student services available to Native American students in WE ARE HIRING If you are looking for immediate responsibility and practical experi ence after graduation, consider the U.S. Navy.

Representatives from the student services and financial aid offices, ASUO, Center for Self Development, Ethnic Studies and NASU will take part in the forum. Saturday evening the students will attend a dinner hosted by NASU. Bob Tom, a Native Ameri can leader, will emcee the dinner. Representatives from the Indian Women's Club of Eugene/Springfield, Eugene In dian Center, Indian Center, Indian Program on Alcohol and Drug Awareness, and Native and Eth nic Studies will speak at the din ner. To conclude the visit, students will fill out an evaluation sheet on the effectiveness of the program. Stevens says, “We’ll measure our successes with this visit. We hope to go all over the state with it next year.” There are presently 26 Native American students on campus, and NASU feels more active re cruitment is necessary. Stevens says one of the main purposes of the visitation program is to let Na tive Americans know there are minority students on campus, and there are, in turn, persons in the community to whom the students can turn. £){e&$k:fc>kak)k3l»k3fc9k3fc>fc ^T^* Applications are now available for the position of 1978-79 OREGON DAILY EMERALD EDITOR Applicants should have knowledge of newspaper journalism and of the University of Oregon.
