Denied Winter Campus Housing, International Students Scramble to Find Alternative Options
In an effort to encourage and stimulate residents of the Houses to entertain at meals and on other occasions foreign students now studying at Harvard, the Foreign Student Committee of Phillips Brooks House, under the leadership of M. S. Knowles '34, met last night to organize a committee of five men in each of the Houses. By means of these committees, residents in any House who desire to get in touch with any representative of the 46 nationalities in the University will be able to do so.
The following men will act as chairmen of the House Committees: Adams, W. C. Loring '35; Dunster, R. L. Behrens '34; Eliot, V. II. Kramer '35; Kirkland, Cullison Cady '35; Leverett, J. F. Farr '33; Lowell, Peter Shuebruk '33; and Winthrop, H. E. Holm '34.
Committees Plan Dinners
The committees will arrange to have House dinners in each of the Houses on every meeting night of the International Council. In this way American students will be able to have a social period with the foreign friends before going to the discussions of the International Council. When any member of the Houses wishes to entertain some student coming from a foreign country, application should be made to the House committee four days before the time of the dinner.
A permanent announcement of the regulations of the foreign student contacts will be placed on the bulletin boards at the dining halls of the Houses. It is hoped by the committee that the plan of having group dinners of foreign and American students on the evenings of International Council discussions will create more interest and better understanding of international problems.
