Dear editor:
I am writing this letter as a tribute to a very good friend
of mine. His name is Dr. Emil Heermann; he died Saturday.
The things he did for me and others are too numerous to
mention here. His laugh and smile were the things that
make days happy. He said if he were younger he would do
the same, not that he would but that he understood. He
taught statistics for the Educational Psychology
Department was his role-but he taught much more. He
taught humor, interest, common sense and that he cared. I
simply wish to say thanks so much. It hasn't been
forgotten.

International House
could mix cultures
The foreign student
balances between total despair
and a fulfilling social life. He's
surrounded by a culture he
doesn't understand and people
who don't seem to care. He
experiences the loneliness that
comes when there's nothing to
anchor to except an endless
routine of classes.
Through an International
House, perhaps this void in a
foreign student's social life can
be filled with meaningful
experiences, said Lilchandra
Sookram, president of NU's
International Club.
A committee of students
and housing officials is
studying plans for such a
cross-cultural living unit, said
Fawzi Hermes of the Housing
Office
ALTHOUGH THERE'S
been interest in the University
for an International House for
many years, Hermes said the
committee is conducting a
survey this week to determine
the amount of interest.
Questionnaires are being sent to
students on a random basis.
Tentative plans described by
Hermes call for part of a dorm
to be set aside for the House
with men and women on
alternate floors. Foreign and
American students would be
paired up in each room.
The House will allow

students often complain about
the speakers who come to the
campus. A continuing tirade
emanates from both ends of
the political spectrum, with the
students in the middle too
often passing through the year
oblivious to any and all
speakers who visit the Big Red
campus.
But now, with the 1971
World in Revolution
Conference just ended, an NU
junior is trying to eliminate
student apathy and provide a
conference which will be
relevant for all students in
1972.
The theme of the 1972
conference, "Justice in
America", will present a
conflict situation by its nature,
according to Dennis Berkheim,
coordinator for the conference.
"We're trying to get
everyone involved," said
Berkheim, "Particularly those
who might complain about the

students from different
countries to learn about each
other's culture through daily
interaction, Hermes said. The
emphasis will be on meeting
the foreign student's special
needs by giving him an easier
opportunity to learn about
American culture and campus
activities, he said.
HOPEFULLY, the House
will become a focal point for
off -campus foreign students
and social activities with other
campus organizations, said
Hermes.
The chance to exchange
cultural experiences is being
wasted, said Hermes. The over
500 foreign students on
campus could provide a
valuable resource for
internationally-oriented
courses, he said, but there's no
facility to bring foreign and
American students together for
this purpose.
Besides offering friendship
and social outlets, the House
could solve the problem of
vacation housing for foreign
students and could provide a
more familiar diet.
If the committee decides to
go ahead with plans, the details
of location, size and number of
students still need to be
worked out, Hermes said, but
"you only need some
creativity and imagination to
develop the situation"
speakers who are chosen.
"It's inappropriate to talk in
terms of specific speakers at
this time," he continued,
"But I think it will be easier to
get radical speakers to come. I
hope to get the conservative
element on campus involved
with getting conservative
speakers to come as well."
Because the theme of the
conference involves a debate
type of situation, Berkheim
said it is necessary to get
"intelligent people from both
sides" to speak at the
conference.
To gauge student feeling
toward the just-completed
conference and to help with
the selection of speakers for the
'72 conference a booth was
established in the Union. An
evaluation form was
distributed asking respondents
to register their attitudes about
the recent conference and
asking for suggestions on how
to improve the upcoming
conference.
Student response to the
effort has been valuable.
According to Berkheim "the
amount of energy exhibited on
the evaluation forms is
fantastic. It's really
encouraging."
In an attempt to eliminate
the problem of tight
scheduling, a complaint
registered by many students
who missed sessions of the 71
conference. Berkheim envisions
lengthening the conference
"maybe to two weeks" and
"combining national and local
speakers" to present both sides
of the issues to the maximum
number of students.
He mentioned that an open
meeting will be Wednesday
at 7 p. m. to explore how
people can be utilized at
the present time.
