Ten new students join Otterbein from various other nationalities
By Kaye Stith
Otterbein has gained several new faces with an international flavor to them this term.
Ten new international students from countries all over the world joined the student body this term and plan to learn English as a second language for business and personal use.
James Carr, Foreign Student Advisor, says "International students add a cultural aspect to the American students' education, but the problem is getting the two students' paths to •
cross." Interaction among American and International students should bring about the appreciation of one's home language and "foreign" Ianguages.
The ten new students are: Johnny Garcia Via and Juan Orellana came to the United States from Bolivia and are the first students Otterbein College has had from that country. They live with a brother of Juan. Juan and Johnny speak Spanish.
Camilla White, from England, is here studying beginning Italian and Spanish since she already speaks English.

Philadelphia plan offers internship experience
By Loretta Parimuha
The Philadelphia Semester Plan, an urban work-study and independent living experience offered by the Metropolitan Collegiate Center of Germantown located in northwest Philadelphia, is now available to Otterbein students.
lowing fields: accounting, biological research, business administration, communications, consumer economics, counseling, health administration, journalism, marketing, public administration, religious teaching, retail management, social work, special education, teaching, theater, and art.
Hoffman Graduated with a degree in home economics and is a former buyer for Halie's Department Store. She was the first Otterbein student to complete a co-op in fashion merchandising at The Union Company, now Halle's.
Moomaw graduated with a major in home economics and is a graduate student at Ohio State University studying guidance and counseling.
Hayes majored in business administration and home economics and is associated with Saga Corporation.
(P.R. Pho10)
Norma Jean Sims Hoffman, former buyer for Halie's Department store . Eleanor M. Roman, chairperson for the home economics department, will join in the question and answer period.
Adopted by the Otterbein College Senate in January of 1982, the Philadelphia Semester Plan is a three-fold educational program. According to Dr. Albert Lovejoy, faculty liaison and chairman of the sociology-psychology department, students would ( 1) learn a measure of independent living, (2) attend seminars on values, metropolitan life, and urban fine arts, and (3) intern in a career-related work area
Lovejoy stated that the "cost of the program is very similar to the cost of being at Otterbein" with students earning a full semester's credit.
"There is a summer session scheduled from June 14 to August 27," he said, "with the fall term scheduled from September 8 to December 17."
The career forum will focus on fashion retailing, food service management, and graduate studies. Dis-
Marlene Steiner-Suter, director of career planning, will act as facilitator.
The career forum is open to any interested student.

Selection of the work site is based on personal interviews with participating organizations matched to the student's academic record, career interests, and past experience.
According to Lovejoy, "students are encouraged to go out and talk to several organizations before making their (internship) choice."
Internships are available in the fol-
The program is open to any major. In other words, Lovejoy explained, to those students "interested in the city, committed to it as a place to live, and willing to do the work program along with the seminars."
The program provides students with a chance to try out their vocation in a culturally and historically rich city, he said.
