Toreiqn students nuclear waste di By John Deiner Some international students from around the United States will be spending their Christmas vacation in Columbia discussing nuclear power. The Agency for International Development is sponsoring "Nuclear Energy and Waste: The South Carolina Experience," to oe neia uec. i?-z/. AID is a federal agency based in Washington, D.C., and will hold conferences on various topics in 23 U.S. cities this winter. THE PARTICIPANTS, 32 students from 20 nations attending U.S. universities, picked Columbia over New York, Los Angeles and other large cities because many can relate to the nuclear topic in South Carolina. "Most of the participants are involved in nuclear waste. These students have the problems in their countries," said Mary Ann Hurst, program coordinator from AID Mid Winter Seminar. "They may not all care about the topic, but those that do will take what they learn here home with them," she said. "What the speakers say here could affect their policy back home." The students will hear more than a dozen speakers address the topic of nuclear energy. The speakers include James Edwards, former U.S. secretary of energy; John Stucker, nuclear issues adviser to Gov. Dick Riley; Larry LeFebvre, South Carolina Energy Forum director; and Rick Kearney, USC ( c ai Matt Wh uS fl Coors i M tn rlir Afl mo IU uiauuda iring vacation associate professor and staff research director for the governor's nuclear advisory council. "THE STUDENTS will be given different viewpoints depending on how the speakers address their topics," Hurst said. Although USC has helped coordinate the conference, most of the activities will be held at the Marriott Hotel and areas outside the city. Trips to Charleston, then Columbia Mall and other points of interest are planned for the group, allowing them to get a feel for the South, she said. "The South is like a developing nation with its comfortable climate and slower pace," she said. "USC is known for its international stature. More and more are coming here because they know they will be welcome." The students will be spending Christmas with a host family. Hurst is surprised by the response the plan has received and said about two-thirds of the internationals have been placed in homes for Christmas dinner. "WE'RE REALLY pleased. It's a great education for young children," she said. Hurst said communication between the students and the families should be no problem since they all speak English. Anyone who wishes to act as a host for a student Christmas Day or would like more information on the disco night or reception can call the Office of International Studies at 777-7461. ooors Lig ongratuk Cale Yar"turtle" nd its trai itworth, Eric Tumey Bill Tolar and Rich I ia MTiniiAy Light Tur IjiO'LE^yi^ ijr in ' ' ^ A ttgfa WE OFFICIAL COOKS LIGHT \ 4KW mm BULLtJ 'twill RACE Photo by Russell Lapinto WELCOME TO ... _ , VILLAGE SQUARE CENTER, LEX SUMTER ST., ACROSS FROM US GRANBY VILLAGE CTR., CHARLESTO SANDY'S COUPO % SUPER SIZE SU ?
