A firefighter watches as two 17,500-sqaure-foot bams bum in Brownsville on Saturday. 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.

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.

SCIENCE
continued from page 1
University classes, also brought their
scientific expertise of science to the
show.
"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.
