They are called bowlers because of the bowler (or derby) hats they invariably wear. "The proctor, attired in black robe and 'mortar board' hat, approaches the two students at the bar. "From this point on, said Mr.

Brucker, "the procedure never varies. The proctor, with exaggerated politeness, tips his hat and says to one of the students: 'Par don me, sir, are you a member of the university? "The student answers: "Yes. 'Name and college, please, sir, says the proctor. Student Bound to Tell Truth continued Mr. Brucker, "the students gives his name and college, which is written down by the proctor.

The following day the student is called to the proctor's office where he is fined." It would be easy for the the student to give a fictitious name, said Mr. Brucker. "But there's your sense of honor the students are honor-bound to give their right names and colleges and they always do." However, the story doesn't end there, according to Mr. Brucker.

They would chase the fleeing student. Understand that the running student would not be considered cowardly or dishonor able for attempting to get The fine line and it is this hair-splitting that amuses, an noys or puzzles some Americans is drawn this way: If the stu dent had not been able to run until the proctor spoke, he was honor-bound to stay and truthfully answer all questions. But if he could have made his dash before the proctor1 got his question out, that would be "cricket." Mr. Brucker, the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Walter C. Brucker, was attending the University of Illinois when he received his scholar ship in 1948. Oxford, he said, was a wonderful place to work. He has much respect and admiration for the English people.

He married one of them. Wife Impressed by He met his wife while sh was attending a secretarial school at Oxford. Her name is Patricia, and she is an extremely nrettv blonde woman whose SDoken Eng lish is a delight to listen to. Thev have a four-months old hav Mark. "America," she said, "will take a bit of getting used to." She was impressed by the many fields of planted corn.

"Every other field seems to be planted with corn. If there is no corn in the field. there are just weeds. Don't vou ever plant grass?" She didn't get an answer. Mr.

Brucker. whose master's thesis was called "The Diplomatic career of Machiavelli," attended Wadham College. "What people think of as Oxford University is really a group of colleges," he explained. He named some of them: Christ's Church, founded by Cardinal Woolsev: Magdalen, "the Duke of Windsor went Merton, the oldest of the colleges; all within a radius of about nan a mile. The size of the town of Oxford surprises many people; it has a population of about 90,000 people, excluding students and faculty members.

And much to the chagrin of the university, Mr. Brucker said, it is becoming more and more an industrial town. Mr. Brucker speaks with a pronounced British, or Oxford, accent. "It is quite natural that I should, I suppose," he said.

"After alL been a part of Oxford for two years." Then, smiling, he added: "But it won't be long until I'm talking like a westerner again." "Sense of History" In England Upon returning to the Midwest after a two year absence, Mr(. Brucker said he was quite suddenly conscious of the difference between England and the United States. "In England there is a sense of continuity, a sense of history. While here we have a huge but still quite young country that is growing. But one feels it is only a matter of time until we too will have that feeling for history." English people have a deep respect for law, he said, in an attempt to explain why he admired the people in Great Britian.

"They feel that laws were made not to be broken, but to be kept. They feel it is a moral obligation to pay taxes. It isn't something one tries to duck. And they are really very friendly, once you get to know them."
