Students From Foreign Countries Provide They not only become accul- turated, but they are a part of our understanding another cul- ture, said Prof. Malliett of the 39 ONU students from foreign countries. He also said that these other students as well as professors become more knowl- edgeable about what the rest of the world is really like. Takaaki Kuno came to Olivet to see a foreign culture and learn English. In Japan, in or- der to attend college, one must pass a standard university test which eliminates about one-half of all would-be university stu- dents. The remaining candi- dates must take another test which eliminates about 100,0 00 more. These tests are only given once a year. I think the Amer- ican way is better, said Kuno, because it provides a oppor- tunity for everyone to further their education. Another difference between the Japanese and American stu- dents, mentioned by Yoko Kashimura, is that Americans are much freer with their dating relationships and express more affection publically. Kashimura was also surprised that there were so many friendships that crossed student classification (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors). Darryl Hashimoto of Japan said that at first he thought that students should have more respect for their professors, but that after he got used to it he really liked the Amer- ican way better. Kim Quach said the original rea- son she came to Olivet was that one of her high school counselors encouraged her to attend Olivet when she found out that Quach was interested in nursi ng. Quach was looking for a school with smal- ler classes and a closer environ- ment, so she applied to Olivet. She said that the ways Amer- icans live are much different from the Vietnamese. For instance, in her home town, doors are never locked. Everyone owns a business. The first floor of every building is used for business and the families live on the second floors. John Monteiro of the Cape Verde Islands says that he came to Olivet because he wanted to attend one of the Nazarene colleges, and Ol- Presidential Presentation President Leslie Parrott presents Yoko Kashimura with a copy of his recent book The Habit of Happiness . Photo by A. Denney ivet was the easiest one to make contacts with because Dr. Parrott had recently visited the Islands. Al- so Monteiro knew another student from Cape Verde who had attend- ed Olivet. Monteiro said that one of the ma- jor differences between America and Cape Verde is the distance between the people. At first he thought it might be because the country is so large, but now he be- lieves that it is the circumstances that condition a greater distance between people. He said, Right now I don ' t know if I feel the same way. I think we keep the same types of relationships, only in a dif- ferent context. I wish I could have a way to, in a sense, open up people to the world in some ways. I ' ve noticed that even though America is com- plete in many ways, certain people don ' t know what is going on in the world. I wish people could turn more to the outside.
