BLACK AN HISPAN C STUDE S Hispanics tend to have a special sparkle,' different from most GC students. The policy of not allowing dancing on campus sometimes cre- ates tension and rebellion. Music and dancing have been part of our cultural heritage and we sometimes assume that everybody must em- brace it. Nadina Alvarenga. N-msg, In a panel discussion regarding stu- dents' adjustment to college, Black Student Union president James Logan questioned if the GC setting is conducive to blacks fin Making the Grade, a video tape produced by Student Development Divisionj. Logan said that GC was trying to hear blacks' concerns, but he en- couraged improvement, for exam- ple, in hiring more black professors.

All nine scholars were present for the interview, excerpts of which appear below. ML: What's different about GC and your schools in China? Mr. Zhang: You have maybe more than 80 faculty members but we have 500 and we have nearly 2000 students. Ms. Zou: Another difference is about your dormitory. Our boys and girls always have their separate ones. But here I found it strange. ML: Yeah, it's every other floor. Ms. Zou: But how about that building where they had an open house? ML: Oh, you mean small group housing? Mr. Fu: Yes, that's something very strange for us. Mr. Wu: When I first came to this country the vast land and few people struck me the most. You see in our city there are people and people and full of people. But here on the street you cannot often meet people walking, so if you want to ask the way . . . It's hard - you have to wait and wait. Mr. Zhang: Sometimes we call them find-out people. Mr. Fu: Another thing which is different from our tradition is the way people make friends. You see here on the campus you have open houseg that's what we don't have in our college. And well, a lot of activities here are organized by the church and we don't have church. So the social activities are generally organized by the leading body of the organization in which you work. Mr. Zhang: What struck me most I think is the sense of safety Goshen people have here. It was incredible for me to know that here Goshen people do not lock the doors when they leave the house. Especially, I was told by my host family they never locked the door when they left their house. ML: As you observe us as foreigners what do we appear to care about? Mr. Fu: I don't know exactly what stu- dents talk about in private but publicly they talk about the possibility of nuclear war. ML: What's your sense about where we are on nuclear weapons? Mr. Fu: I think most people are very much concerned about it and are against nuclear war. It seems to me they are trying to campaign to urge the American govern- ment or forces in the world to come to a compromise that could stop a possible nu- clear war. Mr. Liu: There has been quite a lot of talk about nuclear disarmament, the freezeg but on the other hand nuclear weapons increase instead of decrease. As far as I know the politicians here often talk about nuclear disarmament but the military per- sonnel always ask for bigger budget for nuclear weapons. So it seems to me I am not very optimistic that there will be a nuclear freeze in the near future. But in- stead, the nuclear build-up will become bigger in both the United States and the Soviet Union.

I've trespassed in the backyards of millionaires' es- tates on the lakefront. Once I found a wrist-watch on a private beach and the owners treated me to an aristocratic dinner for returning it. At King Richard's Faire I've re- turned to Renaissance times with minstrels, troubadours, mimes, dancers and peasants. Another time I went downtown simply to see the bums After following a cou- ple, I eventually sat down with a man named Al. He freely advised me on my sex life, world history and other areas. Commuters can be funny too . . . Two of the most fas- cinating people I go to visit in Chi- cago are my mother and brother Steve. Tim Klassen Students travel to Chicago in order to attend concerts or other cultural events, visit friends at the Urban Life Center, walk city streets as lovers, converse in dimly-lit coffee shops or bars, and visit museums for college course as- signments.
