pient  Committee   at   K.   U.,
who along with Bill Dawson (also
of K. U.) and Rayfer Johnson of
U.C.L.A. explained PTP to the
assembly.
Often foreign students who
want to acquaint themselves with
the American people as well as to
learn subject matter are subjected
to sub-standard housing and prejudice, and form the opinion that
American students are primarily
interested in having a good time
and beer blasts on week ends.
These impressions of foreign students can be seriously detrimental;
Nhkrumah, leader of Ghana,
probably still harbors bitterness
for the U.S.A. because of his unpleasant college residency in Pennsylvania. Friendship is what the
foreign and American students
need; friendship is what People-
to-People provides by having its
members greet international students upon their arrival on the
campus, assist the students in
finding employment, arrange industrial and farm tours, plus other
trips and visits, correspond with
students who have returned to
their native countries, and hold
discussions on international issuses.

President. Ed is Freshman Class Representative on Student Council

Villwock Elected President
Ed Villwock, RJC freshman, was

for 1962-63 in recent college
elections. Ed will use his past
council experience as a background for carrying out his duties
of working closely with the student advisor, conducting the council meetings, and working for the
student body and for the betterment of the school.
Ed served as a council representative in his senior year in high
school and is the freshman representative at RJC. As an RJC council member, he has served on
Social Committees, helped with
planning the student activity budget, and has helped to plan the
Spring Banquet. He also was one
of four RJC students who attended a People to People convention
in St. Paul recently. This convention was an attempt to study the
problems of foreign students, and
means by which the American
students can assist fhe visitors with
problems  that  may  arise.    Ed  is
