AFS students discover new worlds first-hand In our world there are many types of people, all with different life styles. Part ofschool is learn- ing about different peoples and how to cope with others. Each year the American Field Service provides a chance for students to get first-hand experience with people of other cultures. Two or three EC students are sent through the AFS pro- gram to live in other countries while two students come to EC in exchange. Leonard Stoch, of South Africa, and Desanka Gajic, of Yugoslavia, came to EC under the AFS program. Len, who stayed with Martha Jackson's family, became very active in drama. Desanka, who lived with Debi and Carolyn Haycock, was one of the few girls who wore knickers to school. Len and Desanka probably learned more about our culture than we learned oftheirs. Desanka Gajic, left, AFS student from Yugoslavia, stayed with Debi fin the reary and Caro- lyn Haycock. Martha Jackson shared her home with Leonard Stoch from South Africa. 27

In theory, the two groups of leaders are supposed to bring fresh ideas to student govemment. In practice, as soon as the officers are oriented to their roles, their terms are over. Little gets accomplished in the end. This is the plague of ECS student govemment. This year there was much talk of abolishing Legislature, which is said to be The last stand of student government. Why is government so ineffective here? The most common answer is apathy. It is sad that students who could do so much want to do so little. ..... ......,.... . .. ,..,... 5 iggwi wan: W ' .- W .,..a.
