This summer saw an innovation
in the International Center and
the International Students' Asso-
ciation, allowing the students
themselves to plan their social
events rather than go through the
University administrative board.
President John A. Wallwork
from Great Britain and vice-presi-
dent B. V. Govindaraj from India
were elected last June on a pro-
gram including that "Internation-
al Students Association take over
all International Center social ac-
tivities and carry out an effective
program with thhe financial as-
sistance of the Universty"
On July 1, the International
Center, a University administrative
branch, announced its reorganiza-
tion which included a relinquishing
of the planning and conducting of
a socialy program (or foreign stu-
dents.
Another important change was
the doubling of counseling staff
time available to the students.
