Re . Comm. acquaints LT with AFSers in drive, assemblies, teas The big word in the Foreign Relations Com- mittee this year was Hinvolvementf' All events planned and presented by the committee had the purpose of acquainting Fernando, Katriina and LT students with each other. For the Hrst few months, the students were given a chance to adapt to LT and were then gradually in- troduced at mixers, parties, discussions, and, formally at the Homecoming Assembly. By Thanksgiving Katriina and Fernando had quite a number of friends, and a tea was held in their honor. A similar tea was presented at Christmas with other schools' foreign students, Small Choir, Christmas treats, and, of course, Santa. By December 26, speaking privileges were granted to the foreign students and plans for the new year began. The biggest of these plans was the A.F.S. Drive week at the end of janu- ary, which introduced a new system of school participation. Next yearis foreign students were sold in 4,000 sections for Hfty cents each share. To stimulate sales, foreign students from area schools visited and spoke in an assembly at North Campus, and a mixer at South Campus. The last day of the drive was highlighted by a sockhop following the basketball game. En- trance was gained by either fifty cents or a previously-purchased share. Though Katriina and Fernando were the greatest concern of the foreign relations com- mittee, many other projects were conducted throughout the year as efforts to improve world understanding. In the fall, they collected cookies for the men in Viet Nam and sent them to the platoon of a former LT student. By the end of January, Kris Dawkins was in- formed of her acceptance as an Americans Abroad student. To chart all former and present foreign stu- dents at LT, a new map was set up at each campus which displayed pictures, maps, and the year of their stay at LT.

ulfm HW t li!! Popular from its opening moments, the new gym refreshment stand ojers an oasisfor thirsty basketbailfans, 24 Bus. Management provides oases for sports audiences Students attending basketball and football games once again benefited from the efforts of the Business Management Committee. Ten to twenty students, including more freshmen than ever before, assisted co-chair- men Barb Norman and Bill Calloway in the selling of refreshments. Sponsors Mr. French Flynn and Mr. Robert Paolicchi solicited members by the reviewing of applications only. Problems this past year included the restriction of selling popcom in the new gym and the proper maintenance of temperatures. The com- mittee hopes that in the near future a permanent garage-type stand will be built at Bennett Stadium so that they will be able to provide better service for the spectators.
