Students practice a square dance for International Night. Above: Choir members Ruth Tajon, Philippines, and Quentin Lim, Philippines, relax after a performance. Below: Asad Ali Khan, Pakistan, relaxes with a newspaper. Examples of these concentrations can be seen in the number of Arabian students in the Engineering department, with a few in Business; those from Japan, Thailand, the Philippines and the Pacific Islands in the Schools of Business and Education; and the African students in pre-med training in Chemistry, Biology or Health Information Services. For obvious geographical reasons, SU draws most of its foreign students from the eastern half of the globe. Even though they make up about 15 per cent of the University community—the University has little financial provisions for the first-year foreign student. Some receive aid from their own government or sponsoring agencies but the majority must show that they can provide for their own education for at least the first year.

The cultural exchange between SU and her international students fosters a growing unity among the total University. What the international students give to the University we can only hope is returned to them in some way. Aegis 73 19
