'Celebrating

60 Years of Building Understanding International House celebrates its 60th birthday this year. A full calendar of events has brought together the many members of

the I. House community—residents, alumni, trustees and Council members—to celebrate the years of rich history and tradi_ tion, and at the same time to look ahead to 60 and more years of “passing the light” of communication among people.

The celebration began with the first Sunday Supper of the year on September 9, which featured an enormous, four-tiered surprise birthday cake with 60 candles. President Evans welcomed more than 400 new and returning residents, saying: “The

world will become a better place through the commitment,

leaders of the world. Some day, you'll be the ‘movers and shakers.’ | hope that your experience here at I. House will show you the way.” The Council of World Members held its 13th meeting at International House on October 18-19. Nearly 30 Council members and alumni gathered to discuss directions for the Council, and made a significant

commitment

munication,

to improving

com-

community and networking

among alumni in their own countries. The

next meeting of the Council will take place in Berlin in June 1986, and alumni in Eutrope are warmly encouraged to become involved. A series of 60th anniversary activities for Council members combined the history and tradition of the House with a look at the present and into the future. John Juricek (U.S.A.-ColumbiaInternational Affairs), the 60th Anniver-

sary intern, organized an oral history project to record the remarkable assortment of memories represented by the Council members. A memorabilia display chronicled the building site, 1922-24, and the ex-

traordinary vision which founded I. House. The success of last year’s resident/trustee link program, which builds stronger ties between groups of people who don’t have the opportunity to get to know one another very well, encouraged the establishment of a similar program between residents and Council members. A panel of five students covered issues of interest to the I. House resident of the 1980’s—primarily careers and networking. The newly renovated and equipped Denmark Room had its official opening on October 18, with a reception attended by Council members,

ideals and trust of the

residents, trustees and

Danish diplomats. The project was made _ possible thanks to the generosity of the Danish alumni, and International Trustee

Poul Kjaer-Hansen and Council member Werner Valeur-Jensen, who spearheaded the effort. The room has a distinctive Danish flavor, with Scandinavian designer dishes and silverware, and prints depicting scenes from Copenhagen on the walls.

Many distinguished speakers addressed Council members and residents. The Rev.

William Sloane Coffin, senior

minister at Riverside Church, punctuated his remarks with witty sallies about the “ar-

rogance of the superpowers.” “We in this House know the evils of geographic discrimination,” he said. “In this small corner, we all know that we are one. Let’s see if

we can’t make the nations of the world see that too.” Professor Edward Said of Columbia University spoke of the question of Palestine in light of the alarming rise of the extreme religious right all over the world, especially in the Middle East. Life Trustee George

Franklin,

for-

merly coordinator of the Trilateral Commission, assembled a blue-chip panel discussion, with Winston Lord, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Charles Heck, North American director of the Trilateral Commission and Archie Albright,

president of the Foreign Policy Association, who spoke of the role of non-profit organizations

in influencing the public on

foreign policy issues. The spirited and sparkling second Alumni Ball and the dazzling 21st Fall Fiesta (see stories, page 3) rounded off a full

weekend of events for the Council. Director of Development and Alumni Affairs Nancy Cooper noted: “The Council left with warm feelings about the House and a

real eagerness to represent its ideals throughout the world.” 60th Anniversary activities will continue throughout the spring.

Bishop Tutu’s Message for Peace A few days before he was awarded the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu gave an emotional speech to some 500 residents and guests at I. House. The

53-year-old general secretary. of the

South African Council of Churches called on the West to apply political, economic and moral pressure on the government of South Africa to stop it from implementing what he called its “final solution.” Pointing to the South African government’s frequent assertions that apartheid is “God’s way of protecting white, western, Christian civilization, a bulwark against Communism,” the bishop said, “T’m glad,

I’m thankful

to God

I’m not

white. I’m glad I’m not western. I’m glad I’m not civilized. And,

But the irrepressible Bishop sought to make light his passport problems by producing a small black booklet. “In this booklet,” he said, “which is not a passport but a

travel document, there’s a place here for nationality.

And

nationality

is de-

scribed as ‘undeterminable at present.’ ” The audience broke into laughter. Many students later said they were deeply moved by the Bishop’s recounting of what happened in Suguletu and Mangopa, black communities which early in 1984 were destroyed by the South African government because they occupied land into

which whites wanted to expand. Dozens of South African students are

represented at International House, but it’s not widely known that until 1939, Chinese

constituted the largest single foreign student group of House members. Since the 1960’s, Japan and India have consistently competed for that distinction. _ Africa ranks third after Europe in the number of foreign members provided to the House. This is a fairly new phenomenon and the steadily increasing proportion of African members is one of the most significant changes in the House composition since 1924. In 1927 there were only two Africans at International House out of a total membership of 1012, while in 1983 the proportion had risen to 8% of a total membership of 602.

1938, about 4.4% of House members majored in business; this figure was listed at

17.8% in 1983. The social sciences have always been popular among International House residents, consistently attracting between a fourth and a third of House membership. International affairs and sociology are currently among the most popular majors. The last major area of study is the arts and humanities. In the late 1930’s about 10% of House members recorded this as their major interest. Between a fifth and a fourth of all current House members now specialize in the arts and humanities. —John Juricek

generosity of IBM. The latest expansion in I. House’s computer capacity followed an intensive investigation into various alternatives by Phil Anderson, one of the six residents employed during the first year of the new internship program. Introducing computers into the Development Office has been the highest priority during the expansion. The Development Office is currently entering data on alumni, donors, trustees, and World Council members into its PC, equipped with a large “hard disk” capable of storing the. equivalent of 35,000 pages of text. An

management

pro-

gram will make it possible to keep track of

alumni and their special. interests much more effectively than is now possible. Use of the computer will reduce the amount of mail returned due to out-of-date addresses,

manage gifts and produce form letters. The Admissions Office computer is used to keep track of residents and admissions applicants, and to manage guest suite

reservations. Formerly, computing how many residents come from each country took up to 2 days; the Admissions Office can now produce an updated tally in less than four seconds. The Cashier’s Office will use its computer primarily to manage resident room rents, while the President’s Office computer will be used primarily for word processing. Eventually, the House hopes to connect all of its computers, allowing them

to pass information back and forth freely. In the future, International House may introduce PC’s into other areas. For the rest of this year at least, the House will

devote its energies to absorbing the new computers; training staff and writing new ” programs will take months to complete. “We have a big job ahead of us,” acknowledges President Gordon Evans. “The introduction of computers is one of the most important things we can do to prepare

International years.”

Nigeria have contributed the most new African members. Americans have always constituted the largest nationality group at International House. They have come from every region of the United States. Currently, they compose about 40% of the resident membership. The reasons young people from all over the world come to International House have also changed since 1924. In the early years of the House, many more came to study education than today. In

There has always been a diverse mixture of humanity at International House. From about 60 in the 1920's to a high of 99 in 1962, the number of countries represented in the House currently runs between 75 and 80. — Asians have always been well-

From the President As 1984 draws to a close, it is my pleasure to report to you that International House continues to be extensively concerned with the care and nurture of its residents, attend-

ing not only to their “creature comforts” but also to their social, cultural, and intel-

lectual concerns. | One of the Board’s first tasks this fall was to begin the search for an individual to replace retiring Chairman of the Board Henry A. Kissinger, whose letter of resignation after eight years of service to the House was regretfully accepted by the Board. That search has recently culminated in the election of former President Gerald R. Ford, a leader and man of vision whose personal commitment to the art of healing makes him a consummately appropriate choice for the chairman of an institution whose motto is “That Brotherhood May Prevail.” This fall, the House has been fortunate in having several residents who,

their capacity as International House Forum fellows, have arranged for us to have in s

In November, Kim Dae Jung, noted human rights spokesperson from South Korea came to the House and addressed our residents only weeks be- |. fore his planned return to his homeland after several years of self-imposed exile. And this month, we have in our art gallery a stunning collection of paintings by the Chilean artist, Roberto Thieme, a provocative show dealing once again with the

theme of human rights in various parts of the world. Around Thanksgiving time, a group of concerned students mounted a campaign whereby over $500 was collected to be donated to Oxfam. An awareness of the crying need to alleviate the suffering of the poor and disenfranchised, and a determination to meet that need are thus both alive and well at International House. We look forward to continued probing, sharing, learning, and when possible, healing in the months ahead. In this spirit of hope and expectation, | join with the entire International House community: trustees, residents, alumni and staff, in wishing

Latin American Art Launches Visual Arts

Program This fall, the main lounge was transformed ‘into a living museum with the installation of an exhibition of artworks entitled “Ten Latin American Artists Working in New York.” The exhibition, which opened October 10 and was on view through November 11, introduced the pioneering concept of turning the main lounge into a gallery for the visual arts to feature international works on a rotational basis. This concept, and the flagship exhibition of works by artists from Central and South America, are the brainchild of I. House trustee Barbara Duncan, chairman.

of the Arts Committee of the Board of Trustees. Approximately 200 persons attended the opening, including representatives from the various Latin American consulates and missions to the United Nations. Featured were the works of Catalina Parra, Francisco Sutil, Ismael Frigerio and Benjamin Lira, all originally from Chile; Josely Carvalho and Lydia Okumura, natives of Brazil; the Argentinian-born artists Liliana Porter and Osvaldo Gomanz; Armando Londono, of Colombia; and Francisco Munoz, a Mexican artist recently arrived in New York. The artists used a variety of media, including painting, drawing, collage, and photography. “The theme of the exhibition is to show the impact that New York City has consciously or unconsciously had on their distinct modes of expression,” wrote Ms. Duncan in the catalogue. The Chilean art-

ist Esteban Perez installed the exhibition,

using several free-standing white panels which can be rearranged for future shows. Several new shows are already planned by Visual Arts Fellow Ida Ghiraldini of Venezuela. Works by American artist Joni Pienkowski depicting the life of an Appalachian woman are the subject of “Malissia of Tom’s Creek and Brush Mountain,” on view through November. Ida, astudent of Arts Administration

at NYU, plans to program exhibits which will increase residents’ awareness of the art and artists of different cultures. “We have many programs at the House which focus on the performing arts,” she says. “I want to offer more contact with the visual arts.” All of the exhibitions are also open to the public by appointment. —Ann Friedland

would rather be dancing. Or singing. Or composing. Michael is, quite literally the I. House music man. Under Michael’s management, Cafe Esperanto has evolved into a night club on a par with New York’s finest. “Cafe” offers everything from classical guitar to modern dance. The music Michael provides is as diverse as the House itself. In addition to fine-tuning his management skills,. Michael says that his work with Cafe offers him the chance to develop artistically. “Cafe is my laboratory,” he says. “I can create an idea on Monday and then maybe play it on Friday. It’s great!” Michael still finds time to fit in his work-aid job as a dishwasher in the I. House cafeteria. “But don’t think I’m just washing dishes back there,” he cautions,

flashing his characteristic smile. “I bring | my unfinished music to work and try out my latest pieces.” With all that energy and enthusiasm, little wonder that Michael was voted Student of the Year in 1983. Michael modestly attributes the honor to his uncanny ability to remember names. With all he’s given I. House, Michael Wimberly will be a name that’s hard to forget. . —Ann Friedland

rium, where they dined to the music of a

resident string quartet. Master of ceremonies Werner Valeur-Jensen and Alumni Ball Committee Chairman Gerald Barsdorf entertained the audience with jokes and anecdotes, delivered in the best ‘stand-up’ style. Council members Merethe Ring of Norway, Joseph Adegbite of Nigeria, and Gerardo Hemken of Mexico spoke of their days at I. House and how the experience had shaped their lives. The jazz ensemble, headed by resident Michael Wimberly, swung into an evening of song and dance with a catchy rendition of “New York, New York.” The auditorium glowed ’til the last guests departed well after the clock struck midnight. Watch the spring newsletter for news of the date for next year’s gala. —Ann Friedland 3
