2—The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 20, 1982 Responses to summer survey vary Continued from Page 1 nificant number of students. Coyle said 14 or 15 students requested the courses, but he was unable to say if the college would offer them until further review. • In the College of Earth and Min eral Sciences, John J. Cahir, asso ciate dean of resident instruction, said they received a "sprinkling of requests and in very low numbers." Although he could not be sure of the exact numbers, he said even if the requests were broken down by de partment, there was not enough de mand to warrant a course being offered. But Cahir said the college will be working to accommodate student needs as the summer sessions nears. "A lot (of students) in our college take geological science. Maybe it would be a good idea to have one geological science course during the summer that a lot of students need." • In the College of Education, Horst von Dorpowski, assistant to the dean, said the college received 25 requests for 16 courses. Some of the requests, he said, were puzzling be cause the courses do not exist. He said the college has asked the regis trar's office for the cards that stu dents completed to determine which courses the students may want to take. "There are some courses listed here that no senior student (in the college of education) should be need ing to graduate," he said. Other courses that students requested are not required for education majors. • In the College of Engineering, William H. Gotolski, assistant dean of resident instruction, said 81 courses were requested, scattered throughout the 10 departments and 11 programs in the college. The only possible area of concentration is in mechanical engineering courses, Gotolski said. One course in mechanical engi neering received 12 requests and an other 10. He said any course with 12 requests or more would be strongly considered by the department. • In the College of Health, Physi cal Education and Recreation, Mar tha A. Adams, assistant dean of resident instruction, said nine courses were requested by nine stu dents. All of the requested, courses are offered during the other terms, she said. "It seems to be a matter of taking these (courses) during the summer rather than at another time," she A great way of life said. Each request, however, will be investigated on a case by case basis. • In the College of Human Devel opment, James L. Perine, assistant to the dean of resident instruction, said the most requested course, asked for by seven students, was in Food Service and Housing Adminis tration. • In the 'College of The Liberal Arts, John J. Romano, assistant dean for undergraduate studies, said stu dents requested a "smattering of courses." But like the other colleges, the choices were not concentrated in one area, with the exception of En glish 20, which received 29 requests. Romano said the English department is not offering English 20 because it is being phased out with the conversion to the semester calendar. But the department may be able to offer the other composition courses that are replacing English 20, (English 201, 211, 218 or 219) if staffing and money are available. • In the College of Science, Hamid A. Madjid, associate professor of physics, said the requests in that college were also scattered. One course received about 27 requests. Many of the course being sought are in computer science, he said. *********** * * * * * * * * * * * * * SPRING PRE-REGISTRATION DEADLINE * ALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION STUDENTS Monday, January 3, 7-9 pm * * * * * * * ************ * .* * * * * * * * * * Tuesday, January 4, 9:00 am-3:30 pm Core Advisers will be available to assist you.

At Christmas break, many students hop in their cars and drive home to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. Others buy bus tickets. Still others use their thumbs. But for foreign students, however, it's not that easy to get home. Many foreign students, like Radheshyam Khatri (graduate-engineering mechanics), would like to go home to their families but either don't have the time or the money. Khatri, who is from India, said, "I can afford to go home only once every two years." Other foreign students would rather stay in the United States over the holidays for various reasons. Some, like Denise Roberts (graduate-political science) from Australia, visit relatives in this country. "Last break, I stayed here and did some studying," Roberts said, "but this break I'm going to visit rela tives in North Carolina." Foreign students can also choose to stay in State College over break. The University's graduate housing will be open, and the Office of Housing and Food Service Operations will provide housing for undergrad uates. Programs such as Friendship Families can offer holiday companionship and cheer to foreign students Pollock Rec Room 301 HUB Some students can't go home Many foreign students spend holidays with local families By CHRISTINE MILES Collegian Staff Writer Tonight at the Phyrst Mischief The Phyrst Bottle Shop Has your brand Mon-Sat "%lk .pis?"'_ ....,cam.—£ The Weekly is published by the same people who produce The Daily Collegian.

Friendship Families is a year-round organization that matches interested foreign students with American families. The families invite their foreign students to visit their homes, share meals, join family outings and participate in family activities. The University's Office of International Student Affairs also matches foreign students to area families for the holidays. One of its programs locates Mennonite families in the Big Valley Area who would like to have students in their homes for Christmas. The office then provides transportation for the students to the Menno nite homes. "They (the students) participate in whatever activ ities the families engage in," said Andreth Frisbey, assistant director of the Office of Student Affairs. For example, while visiting with the families, the students find themselves participating in activities ranging from skiing and sleighing to shopping and attending church, Frisbey said. About 35 to 40 foreign students join Mennonite fami lies each year, lie said. Some are invited back the following year by the same family. The Mennonite program is not limited to just stu dents. It is open to all foreign visitors in the commu nity.

Thefts of evergreen trees on campus are down substantially compared to this time last year. University Police Services investigated four inci dents of missing trees as of Thursday. Seventeen cases were reported by the same date last year, said Bob McNichol, investigations supervisor. The four incidents resulted in a total of $7lO damage to five trees, McNichol said. Last year, 19 incidents caused $20,000 in losses. Some trees have a high value because of their use in research projects. McNichol said he thinks a media campaign promot ing awareness of the problem may have helped cut the number of incidents people are more aware of the consequences they face if they are caught stealing trees. Stepped-up enforcement also may have helped deter potential grinches. Patrols were more consistent and potential problem areas were staked out, McNichol said. Forestry research assistant Edgar Palpant agreed that the problem is less severe than last year. Palpant said many of the potential targets for tree thieves are those being used in genetic research projects. —by Micbael J.

University Police Services said the alarm was re ceived at 12:25 p.m. and officers responded within six minutes. The fire began in a trash basket and may have been smoldering for some time. No evidence of a suspicous origiri of the blaze was found, police said. The fire was confined to the trash basket, police said, and caused $25 damage. The fire was discovered by Sue Fantasky, 108 Shulze, who spotted a burning piece of paper under the closet door, police said. Residents attempted to put out the fire with dry chemical extinguishers, but were unsuccessful. Uni versity police put out the fire using a water extinguish er. Shulze resident Nan Rogovin (Bth-psychology) said smoke from the fire reached the upper floors of the building. Beth Meister (9th-marketing) said she thought residents should have been kept outside until the building was cleared of the smoke. The smoke, she said, was so thick it caused residents' eyes to water. —by Michael J. Vand
