Group discusses foreign student problems
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
For two and a half days, they practically lived in the Kansas Union, attending meeting after meeting and carrying their ever-present red folders which were chock-full of handouts and notes.
As delegates to the annual Region II conference of the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs, they were representing not only themselves, but their universities, their communities or their native countries.
The conference, held Thursday through Saturday, was a forum to discuss problems facing international students. The program will programs to deal with those problems.
At least 215 people attended the regional conference, 50 to 75 more than any previous meeting, according to Jim McGraw of Alameda civil disarmament officer and chairman.
PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED foreign student advisers, instructors, admissions officers, study abroad officers, international students and representatives from volunteer community programs.
They represented colleges and universities from North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
During the workshops and discussions throughout the conference, participants talked about everything from strategies for teaching English to the effects of current international conflicts on foreign students.
One workshop reviewed the ream of immigration forms that foreign student admissions officers must deal with and the laws governing them involved in admitting the students.
The tension between the governments of the United States and Iran is still affecting the treatment of Iranian
students at American universities, said Eugene Smith, director of foreign student advisers at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
IRANIAN STUDENTS who have been granted "duration of status" visas, which allow them to remain in the United States until they have completed their education, should have received a U.S. immigration officials, he said.
Last summer, officials were willing to grant extended stays to some Iranian students, but as of October, they have resumed their stand toward Iranians, Smith said.
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service informed its field offices that too few of the "deportable" Iranian students, those in the form of status in some way, were being found and sent back to their country, he said.
therefore, the INS announced that any deportable Iranian student found
by its officers would be held until he could post an appropriate departure or delivery bond, which would guarantee either that he was leaving the United States or that he would appear before the INS to face charges. he said.
"This has become the No. 1 priority for the INS." Smith said. "It's important for all foreign student advisers to realize what the situation is. An Iranian student had better not go down to the police station and say, 'Hey, I'm out of status. What do I do?' or they'll throw him in jail."
When they come to the United States, foreign students face a host of adjustment problems, said Johnny Cham, a staff member for Region II, during another session.
THOSE PROBLEMS include language barriers, homesickness, cultural shock and a lack of transportation and housing. he said.
Through the combined efforts of other students, foreign student offices and community programs, international students can learn about American life and be made to feel more comfortable, he said.

Listen to what the University Daily Kansan says about Willie Amison:
"... Amison has shown a vocal sincerity in his campaign. The 32-yearold elementary school teacher admits that he doesn't know everything, but he seems more than willing to learn and study the complexities of Kansas issues and then make decisions based on his constituents' needs and concerns.
Amison is offering his services and willingness to learn to the people of the 46th District. He deserves an opportunity to put his enthusiasm to work."
