Women's News Brazilian Student Talks At Annual AAUW Luncheon A view of Brazilian educa tion, way of life, and attitudes was given members and guests of Medford branch, American Association of University Women Saturday when Miss Euzi R. Moraes spoke at the annual fellowship luncheon Miss Moraes, a Fulbright scholar at the University of Oregon, and holder of a grant from the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, said "I came to the United States in order to learn English. . .to be filled with the spirit of the language. Although she now thinks in English, as well as her native Portuguese lan guage, she said it would have been easier had she not learned so many grammatical rules. Since her graduation from college in 1056, Miss Moraes has taught English in high school. She is now on leave from her teaching position in Vltoria, the capital of Espirito Santo, the state just north of Rio de Janeiro, Vitorla s pop- ulation is 60- or 70,000. She hopes her year of study in this country will help her reveal America and Americans to her students, most of' whom won't have the privilege of being here themselves Approximately one half of Brazilians arc literate, and school Is not compulsory be. cause not enough schools and teachers are available. Teach ers often work for three or four schools at once. They must have two years exper ience In rural schools before being hired in urban areas. Many Languages Applicants for high school are given competitive exam inations. Of a thousand candi dates, only, two or three hun dred are accepted. All stu dents from eleven or twelve years of age are required to study Latin, Portuguese, French, . and English, accord ing to Miss Moraes. Require ment of these, plus other sub jects such as history, leaves little time for elective subjects such as are available in Unit ed States schools. However, in the three years of high school, students are given the choice. of classic or scientific courses of study. The lower grades are divided into five years of ele mentary school and four years which correspond to our jun ior high schools. Private schools are more often coeducational than are the public schools, Miss Moraes said. When asked to compare stu dent attitudes, Miss Moraes said that she is very well-impressed by the attitude of stu dents here, and that they study much harder than do Brazilian college students. Graduate students in Brazil do not work for advanced de grees as is usual in America. Doctoral degrees are avail- able but belng a c0Hege grad uate is c&nsidcred enough. Miss Moraes said the bache lor's degree is earned after three years of college, admis slon to which Is earned by a very hard competitve exami nation. Most holders of bach elors degrees tako specialized courses for another year, DI.cu.se. Women Discussing emancipation of women In Brazil, Miss Mo raes said that Brazilian men never tire of reminding wom en that Eve was taken from Adam's rib. Home is consid ered the place for women, but teaching and other professions are gradually being accepted as suitable for women, too. She stated that wives do not discuss, but ask permission of husbands. "Men are afraid of women who like books," she said. When Miss Moraes was asked whether there "was a Brazilian organization corres ponding to AAUW, she said "We do not have as many women's clubs as you do here. A church association is , the only one in my home town I know of." A life-long Presbyterian, Miss Moraes said that 95 per cent of Brazilians are Roman Catholic. Political changes in Brazil puzzle some and encourage others, but Miss Moraes said the belief is, "The people will honor the broom handed the new president. They are sur prised with the firmness of .his first acts, and believe he will toss way the label of 'under developed country'." There are two major polit ical parties, the Social Demo crat, and one which supports the working men, but there are many other parties, per haps ten or fifteen. The new president is not from the ma jor parties, and the people feel he will be "free from strings of the parties which have led." No Anti-U.S. Feeling Asked about Brazilian reac tion to . the Cuban situation, she said that she has felt "no anti-United States feeling in Brazil!" She added that there are many differences between Brazil and the Spanish-speaking countries of South Amer ica. In response to a question about the attitude of Brazil ians to Brasilia, the extrava gant new capital in Brazil's in terior, Miss Moraes said there is a feeling of pride, in its beauty. Railroads which were built for Brasilia's construc tion now link northern and southern Brazil, and this is amazing to Brazilians. How ever the population is divided in belief of the propriety of building such a capital. One group thinks it is a great step for the emancipation of Brazil, while the other group would prefer that Brazil take care of its poor. Miss Moraes has never paid any tax and is amazed at the universality of taxes in the United States. However, her father, a businessman, com plains bitterly about his taxes. Football is the favorite re creation in Brazil, but she sees little relation between it and American football. Young men and women, Miss Moraes said, often spend their eve nings in the 'town square, where the girls walk around the square and the boys stand around and watch. She said she has been looking in vain for such a square here. In the five months she has been In the United States, Miss Moraes has been from Seattle to Los Angeles In June, when she has finished her work at the University of Oregon, she will visit a friend in North Carolina who studied in Brazil,' and then travel to Washington, D.C., and New York City before returning home. Would Live Here She said "I would be happy to live here If I could bring my mother and father and seven nephews." At the end of a lengthy question period, Miss Moraes expressed pleasure in the Interest shown by Americans In foreigners and their coun tries. There were many com ments among the audience about the excellence of her vocabulary. Mrs. William S. Cobb, fel lowship luncheon chairman, To Attend bureison s Annual Spring Party y t mtoroflo J Concert Announced Ashland - The Southern Oregon Little Symphony or chestra will present its win ter concert on Sunday, March 5 at 3 p.m. in Churchill audi torium on the Southern Ore gon college campus.

According to the Minneapolis Tribune, residents of the United States spent 20. billion dollars last year travel ing around their own country, and 2.3 billion dollars travel ing in other countries. But travelers from foreign countries spent barely one-tenth of that sum in this country.' The Minneapolis Tribune thinks its high time that the the United States, with a reputation of being able to pro mote practically anything, starts working on a plan to bring travelers, and their money, to this country. "Quite frankly," says the Tribune, "this country, both officially and unofficially, has made only a puny effort to attract tourists." As an example of what can be done, the Minneapolis paper (the article was reprinted in the Christian Science Monitor) told about the undeveloped country of Tunisia. This country, with nothing much to offer but good weather and exotic scenery, has worked up a healthy tourist trade. One of the gimmicks is to organize plane trips throughout the country. Groups are signed up, planes chartered, and after two or three weeks of "doing Tunisia" the travelers return home leaving considerable sums of money behind. .' The writer said he believed that Minnesota (and Oregon could do the same thing) should organize such groups and bring them to the United States for fishing, boating, sight seeing to attend music and dramatic festivals, to visit relatives and generally enjoy travel in the U.S. "This may take some cooperative effort between private tourism promoters and the government," said the Minne apolis Tribune. "Visa procedures need to be eased-or abolished. Americans can visit most European countries without visas, so why not vice versa? Government restric tions on travel money need to be negotiated away where they exist overseas. "But no one can see insuperable difficulties in generat ing a real tourist flow from Europe to the United States. And if, as the Commerce department says, the average for eign traveler in the U.S. spends $540 exclusive- of trans portation costs, the potential are considerable indeed." An influx of visitors from foreign countries would have other good results, too. They would not leave only money, but they would make friends, bring new ideas and information, and in general enrich our lives and perhaps introduce a little leavening into some communities and circle which could profit from it. The truth is that many Americans are quite provincial in their outlook, still remain distrustful of in dividuals from abroad whose language, clothing and custdms are different from ours and who believe that those from other natiqns are somehow a little inferior. ' Travis Cross, an assistant to Governor Mark Hatfield and also his press secretary, talked here Monday for Repub lican women. He said Jackson county Republicans should be "real missionaries" for the party. "Republicans," said Mr. Cross, "have a reputation for fratricide. We chop one another up." Well, now look. Maybe all Republicans aren't engaged in chopping one another up. Maybe just the, Republicans Mr. Cross knows are chopping one another up. But even Mr. Cross said himself at the beginning of his speech that the rumors to the effect that Secretary of State Howell Appling and Governor Hatfield aren't "getting along" were just that rumors. "Don't take those stories seriously," were his words. He also said that the Democrats in the legislature "aren't speaking to one another." So maybe the Republicans aren't the only ones that have a reputation for fratricide. And if Mr. Cross thinks that Jackson county Republicans should become "real missionaries" he must believe that we get along down here better than Republicans do in other places. Very . interesting. Mr. Cross, very interesting. O.S.

Mrs. Kennedy's husband has been heard to say the prestige of the United States is de clining abroad. Advice is a commodity which is never in short supply around the White House, but the suggestion is hereby made that the Presi dent should never underesti mate the power of a woman. Also that he has a new found asset in Oleg Cassini, the 47-year-old designer who makes Mrs. Kennedy s clothes and has the potential of be coming a one-man Marshall Plan. Until recently he was almost unknown over here, but now his face is familiar and the interest in him is in tense. Nowhere is the curi osity greater than in such fashion houses as Hartnell of London, Dior of Paris and the Fontana Sisters of Rome. Is an American about to pre-empt the American fash ion market? The London Daily Mail, alert to trends of all kinds, has sent Miss' Iris Ashley to the United States to investi gate the man of the hour. Her. first communique re veals: That Cassini was one of several Americans asked to submit designs for Mrs. Ken nedy's inaugural wardrobe. That other American de signers are unhappy because he now apparently is going to make all of the first lady's clothes. That department stores are clamoring for his dresses and that Cassini clothes will hit Europe like a tidal wave. That he predicts Mrs. Kennedy's favorite colors for spring and summer will in clude "chartreuse and pure lemon yellow." That he scooped Paris by several weeks by "introducing the flared skirt in January." That when Cassini goes to the White House to consult he always is invited to enter through the front door. "That," observes Miss Ash ley, "will elevate the whole status of the American dress business." , Spring Permanent Hair Cuts ..Hair Styling in the Modern Trend Manicures Shampoo Color Tints Lucille Mary , Phone for an Appointment KE 5-1065 Evenings by Appointment LUCILLE'S BEAUTY COTTAGE 4th and Rose Street Invites You to View the Film Fashions, Fun Theme of Show "Spring Fashions and Fun" is the theme of the annual luncheon, style show and card party planned by Alpha Rho chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority.
