As of August 12, housing in private Columbia area homes over the break had been arranged for all but one foreign student, a girl from Nigeria, said Bonnie Chandler, president of CCFI. A Malayan student who was to arrive early for fall classes would locate housing before the dorms reopen on his own, Chandler said. A non-university organization affiliated with thp National Association for Foreign Student Affairs, CCFI recently moved into the new International Student Programs office in the west wing of _ Russell House, Chandler said. CCFI is sustained completely by volunteers from ihe community, Chandler said, and has been operated in the past out of mem oers nomes. Finding housing is the problem encountered most frequently by USC foreign students, Chandler said. Many foreign students don't realize that admission to the university does not insure university housing, she said, but this problem could be solved by having all foreign studerfts apply to the university through the International Student Programs office. Besides locating housing, CCFI performs many other services for foreign students, Chandler said. Among these is the host family f The 4 I will Ol meet oil Take a brec beverag< exclusively de I Schlitz I Budweiser Ipabst Blue Ritobo elps stude vi ui y biuu program, through which, Chandler said, she herself first became involved with foreign students. Several years ago, Chandler explained, she and her husband were asked by a friend to become hosts to a foreign student. With a daughter at Columbia College at the time, Chandler said she realized how comforting to the parents of foreign students it must be to know that their children would always have friends to turn to while far from home.

New host families are found through churches and among friends of experienced hosts, Chandler said. After an orientation program that covers what is expected of host families, what may be expected of foreign students based on past experiences, and some do's and don't's for host families, Chandler said prospective hosts decide whether they want to sponsor a student. Assignments are then made from the list of students desiring to participate in the program, and the responsibility of initial contact with the student is with the assigned hosts, Chandler said. *A covered dish supper is held each (no fi\ "Vt v-vmiitiurxlTY, p. 21 : discovery arc the products of ambition, not of government ly exposure to a free and enndividual's aesthetic and rateliation and advancement.
