exports and ranks second in total
value of.manufactured goods exported;"

and participate in activities that will
further each person's concept of the
world; •     >

gruang, president of ISO and

and S0me community bustaessesj,
*    "We  hope  to  have #• :utt'gj?.
turnout," says Charoenurngruisiig*
"Our purpose hejre," "he «Oti«;
tinues, "is to promote » greater'
world awareness and sensitivity."
International Week, at Central

year," says Gollesch.
The exhibits included such
items as clothing, jewelry, house-,
utensils, coins, weapons, pictures
and slides, along with someone at

brought things from home," jsays
Gollesch," arid they also comb the
community for articles."

Life-style change discussed
as occupancy decreases
By Dave Talaga
LIFE Staff Writer
A proposal to change the
lifestyle of. Barnard Hall to scattered co-educational is being
discussed as a possible solution to)
the problem of too few people in the
Tate-Barnard complex.
The small number of people has
led to weekend closing of the
complex's food commons. The closing
has forced residents to walk to
Repta.flon for weekend, meals.
'?■**■ ,.piscussibtx,ot'thVtbod c'dihnTortg ,
problem' came Friday afternoon in
the lobby of Tate Hall during a
meeting of Tate and Barnard
residents  and  the   administration.
Jerry R. Tubbs* of the Business
and Finance. Department, and Albert
S. Miles, vice-president for Student
Affairs, spoke for the administration.
Tubbs stressed the economics of
the problem saying that the Tate-
Barnard unit is currently losing
$20,000 and opening the food
commons on weekends could result
in an additional $13,000 loss to the
University.
Alternatives to the present
situation of eating weekend meals at
Robinson were listed as:
•4. Residents on 13 and 20-meal
plans could move in another facility.
This" would mean residents of Tate
aftd;Barnard■/dS?4he^^iiie^bI«fJii'ft-
would move to another dorm.
2. All residents at Tate and
Barnard changing their meal plans to
15 or ten meals a week.
3. Residents of Tate and Barnard eating weekend meals at the
Tate-Barnard unit, but both dorms
would be closed next semester.
