HERE AND THERE
Minnearolis, Minn.—-A reeeut near
elash tetween the University Y.H.3.A. and
the foreign students in the University of
Minnesota drew a wide campus comment. An
oren letter signed by several foreirn stu
dents among whomlone was a Filirino and
{)uhlished in the University of Minnesota
oily substantiated an attack towards tie
secretary of the Univorsity Y.H.C.A. It
was thru the carelessness of a Daily re;-
orter that this ill-feeling almost cam;
out. An article arrearing in the Daily
entitled I'Foreigners Aided In Protlems'
seemed to hove {revoked the pride cf the
foreigners.
ccordinn to the article a course
was being rrurared r] the secretary of
the University Y.M.C.A. whereby foreign—
ers were to re hclred out in local exlrcs—
sions, usage of everyday tongue, gramati—
osl blunders, and the like. After the
xuhliostion of th» open letter a correc
tion of the article by the Secretary cf
the Y.H.C.A. came out headlined ”Foreign
ers Incensed At Rumors.“ The secretary
said thot the course was not rrersred sole
ly for foreigners but for both Americans
and foreigners alike.
A written apology from the secretary
mliled to each foreign student stems to
here cleared the nisundorstending. Althr
there is still a feeling of indiffer.nce
towards the Y.M. C.A. that is left to a
few of thu foreign students.
