Wo drove up a mountain (rath er like the old loops on the Col umbia, though not soon a dis tance) to a restaurant which ov erlooked the city. Directly be .ow us was a huge old castle which looked as though it had boon there since the beginning of time. On below lav the old part of the cltv and the river, hero and there through the trees on the river hillsides, were the traditional pink-roofed houses. Very lovely. "One funny thing here that I haven't boon able to get used to is the length of time we have daylight. Because we are pretty far north (as compared to Maryland i it doesn't got dark until about 9:15. Then at about i a.m. guess what, there's the un again! 1 went to a Gorman-I course ... It is taught by two Germans and thev are like nothing ever seen in American schools. They leap and Jump about, snapping their fingers and shouting at us. It is really a lively class: They speak noth ing but German to us . . . Each class is three hours long Mon day and Wednesday for two months. I have a feeling I'll have to sweat for those three credits!"

She has made a trip around the world. The Eugene Register-Guard devoted a full page to a des cription of Miss Nickerson's trip of last school year. The trip was an accredited study trip, spend ing eight months with 14 other United States students in the International School of America (ISA) and for which she re ceived a year of academic col lege credit. The participants lived for some time in each country, visited and attempted to really know the people. "People were wonderful to us," the article quotes her as saying, "but there is a definite resentment of United States pol icies everywhere we went ex cept Germany. People feel our government meddles in other countries' affairs and that it is insensitive to other countries' feelings." She is quoted as say ing that she was asked most often to explain United States policy in Vietnam and our prob lems with integration. For Lisa the world was a col lege classroom. In an eight month study tour, she visited Asia, the Middle East and Eur ope while earning a year of academic credit. She will soon enroll for her senior year at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Her father is dean of men on the faculty at the University of Oregon at Eu gene. In the interview she stated "Before I went I was planning to major in Near Eastern Arch oology, but after seeing the modern world, I've lost all in terest in the ancient. Now I plan on studying some phase of international relations."
