Wilson decided to take up writing as a hobby upon return from the Foreign Office during the World War II. His first published work, a book of 12 short stories entitled "The Lives of the Managers" in 1940. Wilson then produced such
works as "Emile Zola," "Such Darling Dodos, and an imaginary "scrapbook" of the 1890s" For Whom the Cloche Zola.
IN 1952, WILSON's first novel,
"Hitemick and After, was
written with a regular association with the
Observer as a critic. By this time,
Wilson's writing had become a
reputable source of advice

established civil servant, he

Camp Bridges Cultures
By JEANNE RIMES
Kansan Staff Writer
An Intercultural Camp, sponsored by the University of Oklahoma, hosted by the Student Senate, was a successful and rewarding experience, according to Abdul Saud, Saudi University President and coordinator of the camp.
The camp was held Oct. 22 through Oct. 24 at Lake Shaun, east of Topocha; for the purpose of giving students international students to discuss the problems they find themselves with could so about coming with them.
ACORDING TO SAID, soon after arriving Friday, there were "acquaintance practices" for those involved to get to know each other. Also on Friday, the students were "working together with our own languages and our own vocabulary," Said explained.
Saturday the students studied issues confronting international students. They discussed how, but not how, they'd directed to them; make the problem female; communicate the role of women in society, and what friendship means to different people in different countries.
Those attending the camp came to the conclusion that the word "foreign" used to describe someone who does not propriate. To them, "foreign" is equal to "alien" which makes them feel like outsiders and only helps to broaden the gap between different cultures pointed out that there is a certain amount of 'human dignity' to the word 'international'," which how they would rather be thought not just as other human beings.
THERE WAS MUCH discussion on courses especially set aside for international students, such as English IF and

2F, which the international students believe do not allow them to learn the language in a foreign country, they felt "set apart" from others and would rather mingle with people in their community, would help them learn better.
In reference to these two particular courses, Said thought the students could "do better without it." He also commented that he saw a "rigid program was seen as a 'rigid institution.'" Said would like to see it "open itself to more change" because as it stands now the program is "basically the same," seems to be "meaningless work."
Some students raised objections to the American Society program and felt that it "hass" said that they would "sail on to say that it" should reflect more appropriately the American Society. He thinks there are "so many opportunities he is opening" that the program should keep up, but it doesn't.
Wilson was appointed professor of English literature at the University of Manchester and in 1967 he was Beckman Professor at the University of Toronto.
"WE REALLY FELT our camp was very, very successful." Said concluded. "We need to be close to each other."
He also said that American students who attended told him they were given have had "real students" and not "students' students". According to Said there was general gratitude for them. He gave them a chance to form the camp and get students together. He gave them a breakthrough, according to Said, but they achieved at least a minor one by bringing cultures together.
Said explained that he would him to see the camp become "somewhere" to be held regularly because he thought it "could turn into something really beautiful and exciting," he said, "we learn to 'have more appreciation of other people' therefore of other everyone a 'beautiful' experience.
