International
e oins Work
When a freshman first arrives at the University, he is
often bewildered and confused by the customs and atmosphere
of college life. But the problem is compounded for the inter
national student arriving in the United States for the first
time.
In order to help the international student adapt to his new
college environment, a Brother-
Sister program is being set up
to go into operation this fall,
Gayle Larson said last night.
The program is one part of a
series of activities being sched
uled by the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government Committee on
International Student A f fair s,
chaired by Miss Larson.
In the Brother-Sister program,
headed by Charles Baer, an Amer
ican student, will correspond with
an international student during
the summer, When the interna
tional student arrives at Lhe Uni
versity, he will be met by his
penpal who will show him around
and help him orient himself to
the campus and its customs, Miss
Larson said.
A SECOND program that the
committee has undertaken is aid
ing international students in ob
taining summer jobs. A subcom
mittee, headed by Ersin Eti, is
now contacting international stu
dents to determine which students
are interested in summer jobs in
Pennsylvania and other neigh
boring states.
Tours of six business and in
dustrial firms are also being ar
ranged, Miss Larson said. David
Bearison, chairman of the hos
pitality subcommittee, has written
letters to HRB-Singer, Applied
Science Laboratories, Cerro Cop
per and Brass Co., Centre Daily
Times, Centre Democrat and Erie
Technical Ceramics and has re

state legislature. "We are setting
up our budget and student quota
on the assumption that we will
get it and are planning to admit
1,000 more students for next fall,"
he said.
Earlier in his talk, he had noted
that the University's long range
plans call for expansion of the
Commonwealth campuses and
only a 35 per cent increase in
undergraduate University Park
enrollment. The graduate enroll
ment on this campus should at
least be doubled. however.
Walker mentioned other prob
lems which he termed as defi
nitely "open for discussion."
Among those were whether or
not to make certain important
fields into full departments (such
as computer science), how to en
large the emphasis on basic sci
ences such as biology, whether
to increase the foreign student
enrollment and how to make the
best educational use of the resi
dence hall system.
But after weighing the Uni
versity's- good points against its
problems, Walker concluded: "In
short, I•think with many others
that we are doing very well."
ENNSYLVANIA
Construction Schedule Maintained
Despite Hindrance of Weather
The snow and cold spell which
has invaded the Centre County
area during the past ten days
has slowed construction work
on most projects currently in
operation, but none of these proj
ects is running behind schedule,
Walter H. Wiegand, director of
the physical plant, said yesterday.
WIEGAND SAID that all con
tractors allow for a certain num
ber .of "off days" caused by in
clement weather, especially in
winter, when they are devising
their timetables of operation.
• Thus, he said, the two weeks of
work which were lost on the
Humanities complex in Hort
Woods, the Recreation Building
Annex, the new East and Pol
lock residence halls and the elec
trical engineering extension, will
be compensated for by the addi:
tion of extra days in the con
tractors' schedules.
The General State Authority in•
Harrisburg awarded contracts on
Jan. 18 to four contractors for the
