"I'm a little nervous about how to present what we have put together, but I think it will all work out," Stewart said. "My main concern was putting together the lesson plans for teaching student government, democracy and human rights." "I'm nervous about the cultural and language barriers, but I don't see it as a big problem," Stewart said. Stewart thinks WSU will benefit from the interaction with VMU in the future through student and faculty exchange programs. "Those are in the works now, but we need more information from this trip." Smith will introduce the Lithuanian faculty and students to written tests. All VMU exams are currently given orally. Lithuanians are excited for every bit of western information they can get, Palmer said. "We are taking over three more computers. Iomega donated an IDM, Dr. Thomas K. Austad donated one and one of the departments from WSU donated the other," Palmer said. "We're teaching them things on the IDM system and I haven't touched it till this week." Fifield, Palmer, Stewart and Toyn all explained how much preparation has gone into getting materials, information and arrangements ready for this trip. "I've been so worried about getting everything ready," Palmer said. "Now I'm getting excited because things are just about ready to go."

AUTOGRAPH A3)"VIIHD U ZUXv U U u a h i FORUM (continued from page 1) dent of Academic Affairs, addressed the possibility of WSU becoming known as an international university through the use of scholarships and sister-city programs. "All over the campus there is an interest for an international exchange program whether it is with Taiwan, Czechoslovakia or Lithuania," he said. Howard said that to have 5 percent of the student body international students would be a worthwhile goal. "If we really have a sister university relationship in Lithuania, we should send faculty and students over, annually," he said.

"If we really have a sister university relationship in Lithuania, we should send faculty and students over, annually," he said. "We ought to take advan tage of existing sources," Smith said. 'There are 28 foreign languages represented on campus, and we teach only four. There are resources here through the international students." Possible exchange programs could come through Ogden's sister city programs in Germany, Japan and South America and involving the chamber of commerce to exploit their contacts and make it natural for their people to come here to Ogden. Howard suggested that one dollar added to student fees per quarter would provide over S35,000 a year to help ease the cost of students going overseas. Dr. T. R. Reddy of the Political Science department said we should start with an exchange of faculty because they would have more time to go abroad. Smith said we should focus on uniqueness. Think in terms of the context of an international university and redefining that context and how it applies to us,H he said. "If that is what we really want to do, then we need the support of sources (and) ideas." NORTH VIETNAM X-' .
