Costs for each of the programs vary. It is currently estimated that the Madrid program will cost $1395 per person. The Paris and Vienna programs are estimated $1995 per person. The cost does not include airfare, but the college is willing to arrange this for students at a competitive ly low cost. If anyone has- any questions about these programs, he or she should contact Bill Schmickle's office (Founders Hall 205-206) for further informa tion and an application.

IRC Reaches Commu by Susan Chase The International Relations Club has elected officers for the 1984-85 academic year. Brazillian Roberto de Souza e Sa will suc ceed Derek Maingot as president. The other officers are Alberto Ramirez de Arwllana (Puerto Rico), vice president; Vivian Maria Castella (U.S.A.), Bryan Gets New Coordinators by John K. Cox Seniors Dave Wood and Walt Carter became Bryan Dorm's new coordinators on March 1. The two seniors, along with a dozen other students, have vacated their Frazier apart ments to make room for married students, and they have now taken over Lynn Summerill's position as chief resident of Bryan. Hood and Carter have been roommates for 2V2 years and had feared that being evicted from their Frazier would make it im possible for them to finish out their last semester at Guilford as roommates. But the Housing Of fice asked them to complete the year in place of Lynn Summerill, who has left her position. "We're really happy about the way things worked out," said Hood. He and Carter are splitting the position's responsibility and pay, and they moved into the 2nd floor coordinator's suite on March 1. The Housing Office completed making new living arrangements for the Frazier evictees last month and all the students were to leave their apartments by March 1. Walt Carter, expressing satisfaction with the way Hood's and his situation ended up, said, "We hope things worked out equally well for the other guys." secretary; Samar M. Ziad Habash (Israel), treasurer; Mar co P. Echavarria (Columbia), historian; and Chris Moscinski (Poland), Chairman of the Com mittees. IRC is currently preparing for the annual International Dinner, which will be held Sunday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. Guests can buy tickets or bring dishes; questions should be directed to Christian Collett, box 17102, phone 854-2410. The dinner will consist of various international foods. Many IRC members will be in native dress. The IRC's purpose is to study and discuss international affairs, and organize projects that help others understand the social, cultural, economic, and political affairs of todays world. IRC members represent about forty different countries. Some Velvin's View Age Gap by Iris B. Velvin When asked how his fellow Main Campus students view their CCE classmates, one young sophomore paused thoughtfully and replied, "Condescending, you know, like to parents." I rais ed an eyebrow and he went on to explain. Most Main Campus peo ple, he said, are at an age when they're breaking out of authority patterns, and they feel con descending toward their parents. He thinks this attitude carries over into their relationships with other people. The assumption that CCE means middle-aged is not always correct, but it persists, and with valid reason. Although the average age of Guilford's CCE population is only 28, the students most easily identifiable as CCE by their classmates are older. This is understandable, since age is a conspicuous difference. Younger CCE students can blend into the Main Campus population, but older ones are set a part by their age. Most 25-year-olds can pass as college-aged, but few members are part of the Inter- Link program. Roberto Sa said that he would like for more Americans to be ac tive in IRC, and invites students of all nationalities to participate in the club's activities. In addition to IRC's traditional activities, which include Interna tional Day and the annual Christmas party, the new officers are planning some community projects. Members will visit high schools and homes for the elderly in the area to talk with people of the Greensboro Community share aspects of different cultures. Sa also said that he woulfl like to work on establishing in tramural teams and combatting the problem of housing at Guilford for foreign students dur ing college vacations. 35-year-olds would be mistaken for 20, except by a suspicius bartender. Another Main Campus student, when asked how she related to older students, replied, "Okay, I guess, I just don't feel I have much in common with them. You know, they're older and have dif ferent lifestyles." In our Culture, age is often over-emphasized as a difference. The popular phrase "generation gap" says a lot about how we view the relationship between older and younger. The danger in the assumption of a difference is that it may become a self fulfilling prophecy, causing ten sions where none need arise. There are enough legitimate dif ferences between generations without creating artificial gaps. The distance between older and younger can be widened or bridg ed in the classroom. The 40-year old who assumes an 18-year-old couldn't possibly know anything about life and the 18-year-old who thinks 40-year-olds must be reac- Continued on Page 3
