Ninety per cent of those enrolled are veterans, and the majority of than have lived in Oregon before the war, but there are students who represent many states and Canada and Hawaii. _Ten percent   of the veterans are
attending the school under the GI bill's provision for    disabled   veterans.    ; ' studying under this provision is one student who is totally   blind. is studying journalism with the special Braille bocks furnished.
There will be a faculty of seventy-five of the best instructors to help the students during their college days at Oregon's newest college.

A baby shower was given by the Homemakers club for one of the members, Mrs. Jerry Olson.   They gave her a blue bassinet,   but the prediction   proved wrong! The baby, Jeri Dianne, born September 27, and weighing 8 pounds and 5 ounces, was a girl.

GLEANINGS
By Jeri Berglund 
When words and deeds true love convoy, Affections never go astray, For true friends at heart remain sincere, And memory keeps them ever near.
Kindness is a pearl in the sea of life, but so often is lost in the undertow of jealousy.
I raised my hand in school one day, But the teacher she said no, The joke was on the teacher Cause I didn't have to go.
Too loves a book has found a friend, Sappy his days, sincere his end,
He who climbs too high may have a fall, But better a fall than not a climb at all.
And so again I close my column saying, "Sin has many tools, but a lie is a handle that fits them all."

For those members of the congregation who have been unable to make the trip downtown for the Sunday services,' Rev. Cornelius Austin will hold services in tho gym of Community building #1 from five to siz pm every Sunday. Rev. Austin   is   tho   pastor of
Bethel A.M.E church and will bring cut singing groups from tho re as well as vol- -known speakers whon they come to town. The church is undenominational and inter-racial, and extends a welcome to anyone 7; ho wishes to attend the services.
To The Editor:
The   teenage  meeting on Monday the 23rd   was characterized   by great quantities of noise, confusion, and disorganization.
Instead of being a meeting   for   teenagars every Tom, Dick, and Harry showed up,including some small fry. We believe that   if   we   have another teenage   meeting   it should be restricted.to teenagers and those whe are interested in   the welfare of the Community Building and who are willing   to   help work for   the   club   and   to make a success of it.

The Vanport newspaper, as yet un-named, takes pleasure in announcing three apointments to its staff. Joining the group of teen-agers who write, edit, and produce the paper are Wilson Eyre, in charge of illustrations and art work,   and Fred Gier-lach.   Bill Connor has been promoted to serve as joint business   manager with Fred.

WELCOME
Quite a few people have come here to Vanport from all parts of the world and among these is Patricia Wilson of London England, who has made her temporary home at 11319 lake, Apt. 7951.
When interviewed she said, "The airplane trip over was quite boring except when we left New York. We hit a few air pockets. That was very exciting. I didn't like Americab at first. It is too fast, but my opinion is now changed. I like Mount. Hoot and Bonneville Dam very much. We went to the beach, but it was too
misty to see much."
"The average student in England gets out of school at fourteen and goes to work, but I took a business course and got out   at   sixteen and a   half, out that was un-
"Most of the buildings are from one to four stories high. Tho houses are all made of brick. I couldn't get used to the wooden houses in America at first. The older the house the bettor, in England."
"During the war, our rations allowed one person for a whole week were: 1 ounce of butter, 2 ounces of lard, 4 ounces of oleo, 1 medium chop, and 2 ounces of tea."
"I didn't realize   how   terrible   the  bombings were until I got over here. We were frightened, of course, but that's all."
"We wear our clothes about the same except sweaters and skirts. We either   wear short   or long sleeves—no push-ups and we wear   our sweaters in and not out. I like my two months of America   very much   and I think I Will continue to." ...Ginger Jones

RADIO REVIEW
by Albert Patterson.S
The Henry Morgan show had its premier Jaturday September 28,    at 7 pm on ABC with a great supporting cast.   The only catch to   the   program   was the fact   that    the   cast got most of the laughs leaving poor Henry laughing.
* * *
Another husband and wife team show hit the airwaves Sunday on NBC at 4:30 pm— Phil Harris and his lovely blonde wife Alice Faye. This show, dear listener replaces the master detective Richard Rogue, so the lusn tones of lovely A! ice are quite a change from tho crime bust in' Richard.
* * *
Jack Benny came back on the air the same ounday with the same great cast as of last spring. The show still has the zip and zeal of the past and the fact that both Phil Harris and Dennis day now have their own shows takes nothing away;from their act:ng with the great Benny.
* * *
Huh! "what's up, Doc?"
That well known voice in the throat of Oregon's own "hops" on your wireless each and every Tues. night via CBS at 8:30 pm.
Any comments on any radio program would be greatly appreciated andmray be sent to Community Bldg. #1, corner of Force and Broudacre, in care of Albert Patterson. __
