Although the club has been in existence since 1909, its only past activities' have been informal meetings and social gatherings held by internationally minded persons in their homes. Club members did not consider this a sufficient pro gram to meet the social, legal, and domestic needs of the approxi mately 200 foreign students and faculty members at the Univer sity. It was felt that more could be done toward promoting friend ships between foreign and Amer ican students and faculty mem bers. New officers of the Cosmopol itan Club are Prodipto Roy, president; Fernando Rodriguez, vice president; Helen Charvat, treasurer; and Leo Zajicek, sec retary. New faculty adi.risors are Vac lay Mares, associate professor of economics; Frank D. Kern, dean emeritus of the graduate school of botany; and James F. Keim, associate professor of ag ricultural extension. Recently steps have been taken to provide a group to which the foreign student could feel he be longed and to which he could come with his problems. Next year the club hopes to have an In ternational Living Center with an office to coordinate the social, fi nancial, legal, and domestic activ ities of foreign students. By do ing this the club hopes to attain a • more prominent position in campus activities. Special committees and pro grams have been organized to fur ther these aims: 1. A monthly social meeting held throughout the year. 2. A Speakers Bureau set up to encourage foreign students to give more speeches 'on -cam pus throughout the school year, 3. A Travel Bureau organized to provide information and stimulate interest in travel for, foreign students in the United By SUE CONKLIN Room Assignments Women students who are on waiting lists • for dormitory rooms and have not filled out application forms should see Mrs. Cordelia Hibbs, assistant to the dean of women, before Thursday in the dean of wo men's office in 105 Old Main.
