Flames spread from a nearby operating tractor to the bams, which were being used to store 12,000 to 15,000 tons of straw estimated to be worth $500,000. "I never seen anything go up so fast,” property owner Lawrence McMurray said. The Brownsville Fire Department arrived before McMurray’s other bams, housing 100,000 baby chickens, were damaged. NEWS BRIEF Fashion show to promote breast cancer awareness Students can increase their aware ness of breast cancer tonight at a fash ion show entitled "Best Dressed Breast" sponsored by the Health Ed ucation Program and the University Health Center. The fashion show begins at 7 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom. Peer health edu cators will provide information about breast cancer, including statistics and methods of prevention. "It's in recognition of breast cancer awareness month," Peer Health Edu cator Danielle Chiacco said, adding that the event aims to heighten awareness in the community. A representative from the Ameri can Cancer Society will also be avail able to provide information. Models will wear clothing loaned from local stores, including REI, Buf falo Exchange and Sweet Potato Pie. Jennifer Helms, a peer health ed ucator and model for the show, said the event allows people to learn and be entertained at the same time. "It's just kind of a fun little thing to do instead of just someone sitting up there and preaching to you about breast cancer," Helms said. — Chelsea Duncan INFL continued from page 1 even admitted to the University they were given three difficult tests designed to test their English listen ing skills, reading and vocabulary, Shinohara said. And life didn't get easier once they were accepted, either. "It's very difficult for me to speak with native speaker because I can't catch their English," Shinohara said. "But it's good for me to have much opportunity to speak English." She started learning English when she was in junior high school, but the studies weren't very intensive, she said. While she had many opportuni ties to read English in Japan, there weren't many speakers with whom she could converse. Nagatsuka — Shinohara's friend of six years who is also studying interna tional law — agreed that language is a difficult barrier to overcome, both in the classroom and in social situa tions. For Nagatsuka, the most diffi cult part has been struggling to un derstand the English in her business class textbook. Outside of language hurdles, life can still be difficult for international students. Both Shinohara and Nagatsuka live with host families whom they de scribe as very kind. Their host sisters are usually out of the house, however, and they almost never spend time to gether. Neither woman has a car, so they must rely on public transporta tion or bicycles to get to school. After more than a month, Shino hara has started to miss her family. She knows she must be independ ent, she said. Nagatsuka had different senti merits, however. "I don't miss them," she said, smil ing. "I like America." In less than a year, both women will take the English they've learned and return to Japan. But they'll also return with their stories. Shinohara said she would tell her family about how large everything is in America, including the wide open spaces, the supermarkets and the size of beverages. A large drink in Japan is like a small one in Amer ica, she said, smiling. The International Student Associa tion holds International Coffee Hour every Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the International Student Lounge in the EMU. Everyone is invited to attend.

"When you make it interesting at a young age you're more likely to be in terested in it later on in life," junior physics major Sandra Penny said. Other events in celebration of Na tional Chemistry Week include a demonstration on Thursday in the Willamette Hall Atrium from 9 a m. to 1 p.m. where members of SAACS will hand out information about cleaning products that are safer for the environment. May said the club hopes to in form the public of the concept of "green chemistry." "One of our main goals is to try and get people to stop using harsh chemicals that are unsafe for them and unsafe for the environment such as bleach," she said, adding that the club encourages people to use less harsh products for cleaning, such as vinegar or baking soda. A celebration will also be held on Friday at 1 p.m. in room 171 of the Onyx Bridge for anyone who is inter ested in joining the dub. "Most of the students who join the dub are interested in the health care field or pursuing careers in education or in the sciences," she said.
