But Not For Foreign Students
By MIRIAM C OHN Hurricane Assistant News ilitnr
What’s so merry about a solitary Christmas in a strange land when you’re far from home?
The foreign student stranded on an empty campus is in no mood for carols—he wants company.
“About a third of the 400 international students remain on campus during vacation,” estimates Dr. Ralph S. Boggs, director of the International Center.
"While the actual number Is small, the students' need is great." he said.
Specifically, this “need” can be met by local students inviting home their foreign classmates for Christmas festivities.
“We usually receive calls from Miami clubs and individuals who wish to extend hospitality—and the students are always impressed and very grateful,” said Boggs.
“Invitations on the part of students would be greatly appreciated by their foreign classmates,”
he said.

Bad Grades Force Vote At 720 Dorm
By DONNA MAKGOIJS
A self-imposed curfew at . 720 Dorm went into effect this week because about 30 per cent of the women residents received “D” or lower midterm grades.
The curfew, which forces all male visitors to leave the lounge area by 9 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, was passed following dorm-wide voting.
PRIOR to the curfew sophomore, junior and senior girls were allowed to have visitors until 11 p.m. Freshman girls said goodbye at 9 p.m.
Dr Lynn Bartlett, 720 coordinator. said the majority of girls receiving low grades were freshmen.
Dean of Women May Brunson expressed concern with the low grades and suggested to the Associated Women Students the curfew switch, which is designed to cut down noise in the dorm.
Upperclassmen at 720 feel the new -uling is partial because it j “doesn’t actually affect the freshmen, who are mainly at fault, but it does hurt us,” as one senior girl told the Hurricane.
FRESHMAN COMPLAINTS
growing out of the move also concern “light hours” and library hours. The girls must have their lights out by midnight and they must leave the library more then an hour before it closes.
Freshman girls are allowed only 10 “light cuts”—turning lights out after midnight—a semester.
The “men out” ruling, lasting until next semester, does not affect other girls’ dorms.
