Students can attend National Student Exchange programs in 81 schools including Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. But the universities in Hawaii have the largest exchange rate about 150 students last year, Richard Smith, coordinator of the NSE, said. Smith views the program as an opportunity for local students to experience going away to college without tuition or transferring classes for worring about credit. The segment of the population who would benefit are those who have always gone to school in Utah. Experiencing out-of-st- ate cultural differences can be part of a well-round- ed educational experience, Smith said. The NSE program, which was adopted by the Academic Advising department in 1974, was moved to the Office of Residential Living last year after budget problems forced a decision. "When we made cuts in the budget we had to make changes," Romana Adams, associate dean of students, said. "We knew we couldn't cut advisers." Since most of the exchange students coming to the U. live in dormitories, the program was moved to the Office of Residential Living, Adams said. During the change, deadlines were missed and no students were exchanged last year. This year, permission was granted for five students to come to the university although no U. students, wer sent, to other programs. Debbie Graves, an exchange student from Georgia, said she had always lived in the East. So besides coming here to learn how to ski, she came to the West to experience another culture. "Its calmer. The people seem to be more conservative," she said. Graves, a marketing major, said one of the objects in marketing is to gear a product to people's needs. She said living in Utah has taught her that people's preferences vary. It has also improved her social skills. "If you go somewhere where you have to start over, you learn to meet people and be outgoing," she said. Application deadline for next year's exchange is Feb. 19. - aite Info -- 7 HI Jr By Ellen Garff Chronicle staff writer Because many women are fearful of being alone and rejected, they face the challenge of regaining their on their own when forced to rebuild a negative part of their lives, said Emma Gross, professor of social work at the University of Utah. self-estee- m Gross, who spoke on "An Odyssey of Self (Re)Discovery" at the Women's Resource Center relationship and Tuesday, recently ended a long-terwas struggling with pending career decisions. Gross spoke about the "powerful journey" that changed her life and said every person is capable of turning painful memories into positive experiences. When she ended this facet of her life, which she thought was vital to her happiness, it became clear that she would be forced to either dig a hole and bury herself or crawl out of the hole. "I had not been my own woman, nor did I feel free," Gross said. "My life was not real for me." She explained that it took an enormous amount of courage to crawl out of her hole and begin her journey, but that every person can have a similar experience and results. obtain the same "The best way I can describe where I am today is to " say that I have fallen in love, she said. "Living now is in with love like being something although it isn't another person. It's myself." She began her rediscovery when she threw her sleeping bag in the car and took off to the solace of the Northwest. Gross began to understand what had happened to her. She said her efforts to evaluate her life by focusing on aspects other than her problems made her experience m far-reachi- ng more of a healing one. "I did things that would feed me," she said. Although I was in an intense state of mind, I wasn't intensely happy." But when Gross had reached a point where she knew she was healing and had something to contribute to the world, she climbed a mountain in Northern California Chronicle photo by Guy Elder Emma Gross told a group at the Women's Resource Center that all women can make a "powerful journey" from negative to positive experiences in life through self-discover- y. affirmations" when she reached the top. "The feeling I felt then hasn't ended and I've learned the value of being alone and coming to terms with myself." She said she's been able to integrate different dimensions of her life together, whereas before she could only concentrate on one or two at a time. "There has been a permanent emotional, spiritual and physical change in me." and "recited her new-fou- nd Women in the audience responded to Gross' comments and concluded that it's often a risk for a woman to be assertive because she feels the need to give to everyone else. As a consenquence, she has nothing left for herself. The challenge comes, then, when women are able to have both. Gross said that relating with other women's frustrations, coupled with her sold physical and emotional journey, was a turning point in her life. "Because I felt that I was not innovative or assertive, this transition was very difficult for me," she said.
