only seats 35 and the recreation
room holds 90. The Center has a
four-room annex in tpme Madeline
Pound House on Hill Street. ,
"Students from more affluent
countries sometimes find us cozy,"
says one Center secretary, "but
students from struggling countries
are amazed that we are strug-
gling, too."
To solve the space problem the
Center has proposed a new $6.5
million building. The project was
on the school's $55 million fund
drive list but the only contribu-

tion was "$165 from one widow,"
says Center director Robelt Kling-
er.
There were no large contribu-
tions for the project, Klinger says,
because donors prefer to give mon-
ey for medical, scientific research
and other programs. "Getting
space for students and faculty is
very difficult."
Klinger estimates that a new
International Center adequate for
present needs would have to con-
tain 66,000 square feet of usable
space. The present Center and fa-
cilities in Pound House offer 7,500
square feet. "Tis inclues part
of the basement in Pound House
behimd the furnace." Klinger
said.
The new Center Klinger pro-
poses would include a reception
room, a game and recreation room
and a general lounge for the use
of both foreign and American
students.

Council voted last week to re-
place the University's regulations
with a set 'of rules written by
SGC. Prior to Cutler's letter, Uni-
versity officials had declined com-
ment on SGC's decision.

an informal meeting this after-
noon.
"Cutler's letter raises some very
good questions,'' SGC President
Bruce Kahn said. "We will deal
with them at length in our reply.
Kahn told Council during mem-
ber's time that SGC's answer to
Cutler's letter would revolve
around tree poins:
--Rules for individual student
conduct affect students only and
should be written solely by sty.-
dents;.
-Students cannot accept a
legal situation which does not
allow them to make rules for
themselves.
-Students agreed to partici-
pate on the President's Commis-
sion on Decision-Making on the
assumption that rules governing
individual conduct would not come
under the Commission's consider-
ation.

ber's time are unofficial and are

TeXt of Cutler's Letter to SGC

This letter concerns your re-
cent action pertaining to the
regulation of individual student
conduct. The action expresses a
most worthwhile interest, that
of developing a workable system
of student self-government. It
also raises at least two questions
which are deserving of the most
thorough consideration:
Are students alone interested
in and affected by standards of

nature of the educational pro-
cess and to the manner of ope-
ration of the institution. 'They
are thus central to the delibera-
tions of the President's Com-
mission on Decision Making.

responsibility of the Commis-
sion, the deans and faculties,
