The Mohonk Consultations with 1. How are you to internationalize tiative to make approaches.
International Students is over. I
am happy to give you a report of
the Consultation and the wonderful
place where it was held.
Mohonk Lake is the greatest thing
that ever happened to life. To try
to describe the beauty will need
some poetry but I am not a poet.
Maybe the best way to describe
the environment is in the words
of a colleague. ‘‘I am not sur-
prised the United Nations never
solves any problems. A man who
has to go through the New York
Subway system or breathe the life
destroying air of New York should
not be expected to solve any pro-
blems. The only thing they need is
to come to Mohonk ‘Lake watch the >
beautiful scenery -- the lake,
house, cliffs, mountains, stars, and
all. of Nature at its glory -- then
they can have the clear head neces-
- sary for problem solving.’’
May I now call the attention of my
readers to the word ‘‘Inter-
national?” This means U.S, isalso
included. More often than not there
is a tendency for (us) American
students to equate ‘international
|... students” with “foreign students.”
There were thirty-three of us,
though the majority were from
~ Africa, Latin-America, The Middle
East and Asia. The chairman was
Mr. Noel J. Brown, Political
Affairs Officer, Dept. of Political
and Security Council Affairs,
United Nations Secretariat , New
York. Our host was The Mohonk
Trust.
Three fields of problems were
explored and many questions ex-
amined. The three areas were:
campuses?
2. What values in your. culture
would you like people from other
parts of the world to be in-
formed? How do you go about
presenting them?
-3. How will you as an agent of
change in introducing new ideas,
in your community or country?

“How do you go about this?”
As you would expect these are
not questions that you can findans-
wers to in three days.of consulta-
' tion. They are, however, questions
that deserve serious consideration
and examination.
The first topic seems to be the
simplest, so tliere were some de-
finite answers.

the Foreign Students on their cam-
puses should have reciprocal ini-

(b) American students claim that
foreign students tend to group to-
gether and so setupa barrier which
is difficult to break through. But
the foreign students claim that the
American students, in general, ig-.
nore them and since they have
similar problems with other
foreign students they have noalter-
native but to seek each other out
and form a group.
(c) To break this barrier and to
acquire respect for other cultures
the following should be done:
1. Films of other countries, not
only for entertainment but for in-
formative purposes. should be
shown. These films do not have to
be anthropological or sociological.
In fact they should be an informal
way of introducing other people’s
cultures on campus.
2 thisrnational Students Confer On Third World
2. International parties should be
as frequent as mixers. In these
parties music from different coun-
tries will be used, (I may add here
that we spent the Saturday night of
the Consultation dancing to music
from all the parts of the world. We
danced to Latin-American, Afri-
can, Arabian, Indian, Philippine,
Japanese, Indonesian and Iran
music. It made us appreciate one
another better).
3. An international newsletter
should be established between cam-
puses.
4, Similar Consultations like the
Mohonk should be held on individual
5. In sociology and anthropology,
instead of depending on text books
alone the colleges and universities
should make use of the available
foreign students on their campuses,
6. Finally, Americans should try
Men Alerted
To Rights
Outside Induction Center
Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Vil-
lanova students are cooperating
in’ a program to give out informa--
tion on rights and alternatives un-
der the draft at the Philadelphia
induction center.
Pre-inductees who are coming
for their physicals and inductees
report to the induction center at
401 Broad Street every morning
between seven and eight. The stu-
dents who come to meet them join
members of the Philadelphia Anti-
Draft Union and help give out
their leaflet to the boys as they
go in.
“you CAN keep this leaflet,’’
the leaflet begins reminding the
inductees and pre-inductees that
they are still civilians and pro-
tected by civil law. The leaflet
urges them not to sign away their
rights and points out ways of de-
laying induction which will give
ithe pre-inductee or the inductee
‘time to seek legal aid and ad-
vice, both of which are offered
free by , the Philadelphia Anti-
Draft Union. Alternatives to in-
duction are presented: the four-
teen categories of deferment,
conscientious ob,ector status, go-
ing to Canada, or refusal of in-
duction. This information is not
made savailable by the Selective

Students and members of the
Anti-Draft.Union have often en-
gaged inductees and pre-induc-
tees in conversation, with some
favorable response. The response,
like the number of inductees and
pre-inductees on a certain day,
is variable. One morning early
last month the inductees and pre-
inductees were outnumbered by
the students, at least fifty of whom
came to continue the leafletting and
also to demonstrate support for
Ronald Lockman, the private who
was sentenced to two and a half
years at hard labor for refusing
to go to Vietnam.
Students who are interested in
leafletting should call Barbara

stead of trying to impose American
values on foreign students ‘and vice
versa. ;
I will just run through the speci-
fic topics discussed under the
second question without giving any
details of discussion.
(a) Age should be respected but
some discretion should be exer-
cized.
(b) Materialistic values should
be balanced with more meaningful
human relations.
(c) Most of the students from
Africa, Latin-America, and Asia
(i.e. the third world) believe that a
woman should be a woman and
housekeeper first and an equal se-
cond. But other students from
Europe and America believe a
woman should be an equal first and
other things second.
(d) Developing countries tend to
bring up children better by teaching
them respect and self-discipline
.and restraint without giving them
freedom very early. Some argued
that the more advanced a country
becomes, the more freedom a child
has and hence the less parental
control. Many of us agreed this
should not necessarily be, and
advocated that parents and schools
cooperate in bringing up a child,
