Talk To Seniors
Financial aids, dormitories,
advisors, summer registration . .
These were only a few of the
subjects explained to seniors
during the college visitation held
during the morning of Wednes
day, October 4.
"It's an easy life," said Gary
Christianson, representative of
the office of high school relations,
somewhat facetiously. Christian
son opened the visitation with a
general session in the gym during
which common aspects of Ore
gon's major state supported
colleges were discussed and a
short description of each was
given.
After the opening session, each
student reported to two sessions
with specific college representa
tives during which the speakers
hurriedly crammed forty-five
minutes worth of information into
one-half hour. The third floor of
the Humanities building was
evacuated for the morning in
order to make room for the
After hearing from individual
representatives a "mop-up" ses
sion was held in the resource
center to provide an opportunity
for specific questions. Also
during the "mop-up," students
were able to mill around and hear
from representatives not includ
ed in their previous sessions.
The major purpose of the
visitation which was organized
between Dean of Boys, William
Mearns and the high school
relations branch of Oregon State
System of Higher Education was,
according to Mearns, "to inform
students on what each of the
schools has to offer."

Teachers find Fernando hard
to understand. Perhaps it was
meant that way.
Fernando Velasco is the son of
an accountant who works in
Mexico City, Mexico.
He speaks only Spanish. Add
that to the fact that he lives with a
relative who speaks only Hun
garian and a real communication
gap could evolve. Another rela
tive speaks Spanish, English, and
Hungarian and acts as the family
translator.
According to English teacher
Selma McAlaster, Fernando
came to the United States and
Ashland to learn a foreign
language: English. 'It is a
problem," said Fernando
through his translator, Spanish
teacher Patricia Selby. "But it is
getting better."
' Describes Mexico
His eyes sparkled as he told of
his Mexico. Unlike Ashland

its next tournament this comine

at McLoughlin Jr. High; a win
will raise the clubs rating from

Steve Schmelzer, the club's top
player said, "As a team, we felt
that our performance at the last
tournament was handicapped be
cause it was the first tournament
that everyone but Mike Ligon
was in."

games. It is spent with "amigos"

Fernando is amazed at Ashland
as a whole. He is especially
surprised at the "lack of police
vigilance here. In Mexico." said
Fernando, "there are traffic
officers on each corner." These
men regulate the flow of traffic.
As a student in Mexico,
Fernando was a science major.
His classes consisted of mathe
matics, physics, chemisty, logic,
and history. "It is not the
students that go from class to
class, it is the teachers," added
Fernando.

"Man Who Cane"
Tryouts for the drama club
production "The Man Who Came
To Dinner" will be held the 17th
and 18th of October. The play,
which was written by Moss Hart
and George S. Kaufman was
chosen over the play "Harvey"
after much debate and consider
ation. The main cause for
hesitation in choosing this play
was the large cast, including 21
male and 9 female parts. This
will be the largest production
every attempted by Ashland's
drama department according to
drama Coach Gerald Merryman.
"The Man Who Cine to
Dinner" is the story of a famous
writer who upon leaving the
home of the Stanleys after being
there for dinner fell and hurt his
hip. In the six weeks required for
their guests recovery, the Stan
leys' household is turned upside
down. "It's absolutely hilarious"
stated Merryman, "the ending is
quite a surprise," he added.
Productions of the play are
scheduled for December 7, 9. 12,
and 14 in the evening with a
matinee on December 8.
