CASTING
By NANCY STAMM
The roof over the three-story
green clapboard house at 1416 Hill
Street shelters one of the most
heterogenous student groups on
campus.
The building, Friends Center,
houses undergraduate and gradu-
ate students from India, China,
Japan, Korea, Turkey, Poland and
the United States. The Center is
an international co - operative
housing unit.
This year, 16 coeds live, in the
house and 10 men eat lunch and
dinnef there. After dinner over
the clatter of dishes, the students
discuss many topics of interna-
tional importance.
Lights often burn late, not from
studying, but from exchange of
opinions that ignore time.
Share Load
Besides sharing ideas, the work
load is shared. Since the house is
owned by the Friends Center
Meeting (Quaker organization),
students are responsible for its
maintenance.
The house was painted and re-
decorated by the Friends when
they bought it three years ago.
After suggestions from students,
additional decorating was done. A
homey note to the atmosphere is
the cozy fireplace and hearth.
Reproductions of Picasso and
Matissee adorn the walls of an
attractive living room. The den
has a varied selection of books
donated by the Friends.
Cooking to Scrubbing
It takes approximately 100
hours of work a week to keep the
house running. "This boils down
to: about four hours work per-
person," remarks one of the resi-
dents. Coeds' duties range from
cooking to scrubbing floors. Men's
vary from washing dishes to
working in the yard.
Other odd Jobs are done by
house rule violators who receive
work penalties. In addition; the
group has a "fun" work party
once a month.

Clinic Advises Coeds
The League Tutorial Commit-
tee will hold a scholarship Chair-
man's Workshop from 7:15 to 9:30
p.m. Tuesday in the League, says
Sue Stokes, chairman.
After Dean of Women Deborah
Bacon speaks to the combined
group of dormitory and sorority
scholarship chairmen, they will
separate into discussion groups.
Among topics for discussion are:
how to raise house averages, how
to enforce study programs, ade-
quate study facilities and exam
files and how to make students
aware of services offered on cam-
pus such as Tutorial Committee,
Reading Improvement Clinic, Vo-
cational Counseling and Health
Psychological Clinic.
Among new plans for this year
are starting the tutorial service
in Music School and offering help
and practice to language majors
and those who plan to travel
abroad through foreign students.
Students who would be inter-
ested in offering or receiving this
service should notify Miss Stokes.
The committee also needs more
math, chemistry and physics tu-
tors.

OH HOW SHE CAN PLAY!-A typical sight at the Friends Center
is students gathering to sing.
Living in the Center certainly
isn't all work. A common sight be-
fore dinner is a keen game of
volleyball in the backyard. Other
evenings the house rings with
folksongs, 9,s they gather around
the cozy fireplace to sing.
Frequent coffee-breaks start
even more frequent discussion on
problems of world interest to
those of the campus.
At midnight, tradition takes
over-the ice-box is raided. Stu-
dents keep a record of their appe-
tite - quenchers on the "Guff
Sheet."
Halloween Party
The co-opers also hold many,
social functions. A Halloween par-
ty is planned for Friday evening.,
The group has swimming parties
and a traditional Christmas party.
Often on Sunday, they travel into
the country ,for picnics.
Recently the co-op had "pot-
luck dinners" with Nelson and
Tappan International Co-ops.
Advising the students in their,
problems are Center resident.ad-
visors, Sybil axd Donald Stokes.
The friendly, easy-going couple
and their one-year old daughter,
Betsy, came to the Center a year
ago this September. Stokes is a
staff member at the Survey Re-
search Center.
Active on Campus
All 26 students lead a lively ex-
istence at the University. Many
actively participate in extra-cur-
ricular activities. Their contribu-
tions are seen on Student Gov-
ernment Council's Human Rela-
tions Board, South Eastern Asian
Committee, International Center,
League International Committee,;
Steering Committee for Sudent's
Associations for Intercultural Life
and numerous church guilds.
"Many of us are studying at the
University on scholarships," in-
formed Robert.Moore, Grad, pres-
ident of the House. Fulbright,
Barbour, Ford and the Church of
Japan scholarships are financial-
ly supporting some of the students.
