Foreign Fete Participants Plea For Local Support The International Festival will be presented this spring without outside sponsoring, it was announeed Wednesday by foreign student leaders. Foreign students have issued a plea for community support for the annual event, which is tentatively scheduled for April 11 M Sergio Granados, president of the Foreign Students Organiza tion and a graduate student in physics from Costa Kica, said, “it is imperative that this year's festival be a financial success.” The international students have taken over all organiza tion and execution of the festi val following withdrawal of the campus VM-YWCA as sponsor. The festival piled up a $4. 000 deficit last year, Granados said. A nine member committee has been former! to reorganize LOU RAWLS. YEAH!

Foreign students need a prof it from the show to support scholarship and loan funds, he said. Tuition is up, he noted, and state-supported foreign stu dent scholarships were reduced in number by legislative cuts. Foreign student enrollment climbed to an all-time high of 838 students, however. Foreign students expect to make greater use of technical assistance from various depart ments of the campus, eliminate the salary of a director and other staff members, and rely on volunteer service, according to Atef Sharkay, a graduate stu dent in architecture from Egypt, who is serving as general chair man of the International Festi val. The festival will still consist of a stage production in McAr thur Court and an exhibition and bazaar in the EMU. Anant Chavan, founder and former director of the festival, said. “We want to raise the standard of the entertainment, and will seek technical help from such departments as in terior design, the art school and the school of dance." Defendant Gone, Case Goes On What do you Ho when a stu dent charged with cheating on his final exams no longer at tends the University when his case gets to the Student Court. That is the problem which faced the Student Court Wed nesday evening. The trial was moved to next Wednesday when mimeograph ed copies of the student's final exam will be available. The defense moved to dismiss the case on the grounds the only sanction the court could im pose is expulsion or suspension, and since the student is no long er in school, this would be use less. But the court voted 5-1 to overrule this motion and try the case. The defense attorney held that section 2D-10 of the con duct code, which states that any one enrolled for one or more hours is classified as a student, does not apply to the defendant. The case was necessarily held over the Christmas holidays be cause the offense was made dur ing finals week. If a student doesn't return the following term, the case can be set at his own convenience. In this case, however, the de fense has no real hope of hav ing the student appear as he is now working in the Portland area. If the trial is not held, the ofTense will be noted on the stu dent’s transcript, which would have to be cleared before com pleting any future registration procedures. finnell's MENS CBIHiMS □ / Deluding; SPORT COATS SWEATERS DRESS SHIRTS SPORT SHIRTS SUITS Restructure Proposal... (Continued from pane I) recommendation tonight, it will probably formulate Its own pro posal to send to President Flem ming,” said Board Chairman Tom Nash. EMU Director Dick Reynolds agreed with Nash "The board has been working on this restructure for four months . . . "The senate is in a hurry to make the change. . . They’ll formulate their own proposal ii you (the board) don’t give them one. , . “President Flemming would probably accept the senate's proposal, and if he does want minor changes made, he’d send it back to the senate, not the board, for reconsideration. . . I doubt if the board would ever see it (the proposal) again.” The philosophy of the propo sal, which would separate the functions of the EMU Board in two bodies, one for program ming and one for policy making, was acceptable to most board members. Only one board faculty mem ber, Sanford “Sandy” Tepfer objected. "If the people who are run ning the programs aren't also making the policies, then you lose all communication between the administration and the op eration,” said Tepfer. China Program Comes to UO C)n Feb. 10, the Chinese Stu dent Organization will be pre senting “China Night,” an effort which is structured to become an annual event. The collage of happenings will begin at 8.30 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom with an exhibition art demonstration. At 9:30 p in. movies will be shown and from 10:15-11:30 p.m. a cultural show delicatessen will be offered. “ 'China Night' is designed to appeal to two types of audienc es." said Victor Co, president of the organization. ' For the people who attend the UCLA game, there will be a lot of activities left when the game is over. If they don't go to the game, an exciting pro gram is planned for the whole night." Tickets, which are good for the entire night, cost $1 and can be purchased at the EMU Main Desk. The other board Members seemed to go along with mem ber Allyn Brown who said, “We committed ourselves to the sen ate months ago to come up with a restructive proposal.” The board set down four problems on Oct. 19, 1967, as reasons for restructure: • The need to co-ordinate board-senate programming; • The work load on board members who were also pro gram division chairmen, com pounded last week when the board took over the additional responsibilities of the old Stu f~r~, , . rr~ dent Activities Committee; • The need to keep unity and “total” programming in one body; • The board’s primary re sponsibility for all non-class room education. But board members hare been unable to agree on specific restructure questions, and have already rejected “five or six” proposals, said Nash. Several board members were concerned that the present pro posal will necessitate future re vamping of the board again when it proves unworkable.
