As program and tesidence fellows, interns, peer advisors and nurse fellows, they offer services and organize more than 800 activities that take place at the House during the academic year. We interviewed four 7 of them:

Some ideas proposed included a senior staff exchange between houses—a “‘crossfertilization” process—and increased communication, especially in the programs and development areas. The CEOs agreed that a quality in-

about acting, India, economics, and life. Mr. Seth, also known for his film roles of Nehru in “Gandhi” and Aziz in “Passage to India,” said that acting was a way of breaking out of his middle-class background, which he termed “closeted, closed, and molly-coddling.” “The only way to get out,” he said, “was to do something outrageous.” “I had received a good formal education, but was not really good at anything. Acting seemed effortless. Now, I know otherwise,” he laughed.

The noisy, congenial atmosphere of International House changes during the holidays when many residents leave to visit friends or relatives. Those left behind face a Thanksgiving or Christmas alone, away from home, in the often cold and impersonal city of New York. The Home Hospitality program

Over the past two years, through opportunities provided by the internship program, computer and telephone interns have led the House through technological transitions from old to new systems.

Some people just can’t stay away from International House for long. When Frank

This year, a new communications system internship, inspired by the gift of videotape recording equipment from SONY USA, aims to bring I. House into the video

age. Using our newly acquired Betamax, 3/ 4” recording decks and color monitor, we are beginning to take advantage of I. House’s natural visual appeal for both educational programs and entertainment. Some of the video uses being explored include: documenting House events (the first recording was made at the Octo-

ber 12 Fall Fiesta); arranging workshops on video production to teach residents about the equipment; organizing a video night, featuring video as an art form, music videos and/or residents’ productions; and making training tapes for House computer systems.

Further possibilities include producing a year-end roundup tape of House programs, producing an I. House music video,

and taping performers’ rehearsals in order to give them instant feedback. If the program proves to be successful, future creative coverage of the House’s activities and people could become useful for external as well as internal purposes. Fund-raising applications might be next on the horizon, as well as sharing our House experience with other international houses

and institutions across the country. : —Laura Kaufman
