The orientation program, which started at the airport and rail- road station where incoming stu- dents were greeted, included coun- seling service, teas and evening en- tertainment. Groups of foreign students, who had already spent time at the University, waited at transporta- tion depots for the spasmodic ar- rivals' of newcomers who were tak- en to the International Center. Counseling Service At the Center, Robert Klinger and his two assistants, Russ Han- son and Bill West, interviewed all new international students and of- fered counseling services. Immigration problems and mon- ey loans were discussed, and many working permits were issued to those students who must find em- ployment. Afterwards," the students con- sulted with Margaret Mead, Direc- tor of Housing at the Center, in an attempt to find a place to live. Rooms Scarce By the end of the week, Mrs. Meads list of available rooms, which had been put at the dis- posal of arriving students, was de- pleted with newcomers still ex- pected. Students who arrived early enough to choose rooms, were driv- en through the campus area on inspection tours by members of the Center. Socially, the International Cen- ter tried to keep their new people busy from morning until night. Coffee was served from 10 a.m. to noon and tea from 2 to 5 p.m. every day in the recreation room where newcomers were encouraged to meet old students and each oth- er.
