Notable and successful men and women such as Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Robert Redford, Ingrid Berigman, Carol Channing, Bob Hope, an Walter Cronkite have all been members of sororities and fraternities. There are countless doctors, lawyers, scientists, politicians, teachers, businessmen and women, enter- tainers, and homemakers who spent their collegiate years involved in t ese Greek organizations. For those who have never had in- terest in or been able to become ac- quainted with the greek system it seems fairl simple to do without it. However, tlliose who have committed themselves, find themselves in a never-ending network of friendships and experiences. They are bound y rituals and common goals. The sororities and fraternities at Central State are social and service organizations whose members have united to share their lives and ex- periences during colletge. They com- prise almost 96 o the student population and almost 8096 of the eadership positions in various cam- pus organizations. Putting it all into tperspective, across the nation Greek li e of ers something for everyone, be it social, scholastic, or supaportive needs. Large or small, each reels system has a history of building character and confidence among its members and striving for goals that otherwise might seem unattainable.

Central State Hosts 64 Chinese Students International students made up about 100k of the 13,000 students on Central State's campus, many here on their own and many involved in special study programs. A one year study program brought 64 Chinese teachers and business leaders from the People's Republic of China to ac- quaint themselves with the American educational system. During the course of their stay, they enrolled in 12 credit hours for each of the two semesters they studied here. The students were housed in the campus residence halls and each was involved with the CRISP host family program. The Community Respond- ing to International Students Program found volunteers to act as host Dean Kinzer gives a hearty welcome to Mr. Li, Tong-An. Showing appreciation, Mr. Li presents a gift to Gov. Nigh. families for the students. It created a comfortable environment for them and gave them the opportunities to get involved with the community and campus activities such as Career Day. Films were provided for the student body to view and the Homecoming Parade featured a float which re- volved around CRISP. The students also took tours to the GM Plant, the Chisolm Trail Museum in Kingfisher, and Enterprise Square. They also sponsored a dinner hosting their teachers in a traditional Chinese meal. Dr. Donaldson Woods arranged the study program for the Chinese students and sponsored them throughout their stay. Separating luggage is just one bit of confusion for the new arrivals.
