The past years have seen growth in campus interest in
international affairs and activities. New programs, such as
International House and the Overseas Opportunity Center,
were initiated with a dual purpose: to promote
understanding among people of different nations and to aid
foreign students with the problems they encounter when
immersed in a new culture.
For these and other programs to succeed, adequate
imput from foreign students must be insured. The campus
administration must be advised of the great interest in these
activities. The needs and problems of foreign students must
be. presented to different segments of the community to
win their assistance in solving foreign student problems.
'ip
With this in mind, a group of American and foreign
students have met to plan an organization for these
purposes. They are proposing an International Student
Council (ISC) to represent international students and
initiate social, cultural and educational activities for foreign
students.
For example, the council could manage the International
Student Newsletter and plan foreign student orientations.
Serving as an advisory body to the dean of student affairs
and periodically to the vice chancellor for academic affairs,
the ISC could comment on admission policies, tuition and
services to international students. The council could
improve communication between foreign students and
other student groups and encourage foreign student input
into ASUN, or the Council on Student Life. Other possible
projects include cooperatively buying foreign food in large
quantities, establishing a meeting place for international
students and lowering insurance costs for foreign students.
The establishment of the ISC would be a positive step
toward accomplishing these goals. On Tuesday, at 7:00
p.m. in 345 Nebraska Union, a tentative constitution will
be discussed and first steps taken toward organizing
council.
All interested students are encouraged to attend. The
contributions of many international students are necessary
to establish a truly representative body.
