“First and

foremost, I was kind of ready as a human being to do something of a challenge.” Cuneo first came into contact with the House in 1966 when he arrived in New York City to pursue law and business at Columbia University. Cuneo had just graduated from Lehigh University. The Dean of Students at Lehigh had recommended to Cuneo that he live at International House where he could meet people from all over the world and where he could further broaden his perspective other cultures. A year before entering International House, the young English literature major had taken a trip to Africa. Lehigh University selected . Cuneo for Operation Crossroads Af-

years. Cuneo left the firm “right in the prime of his career,” said a fellow partner at Shearman & Sterling, W. Foster Wollen, who had worked with Cuneo at Shearman & Sterling’s Washington D.C. office until August 2nd this year when Cuneo retired. “He was a very good lawyer; he had many satisfied clients,” said Wollen, adding that the Washington office was finding it difficult to fill

the considerable gap left by Cuneo. “He left to make a different kind of impact on society,” Wollen said. After years of contributing to the

fast-paced, often ruthless world of

rica, a program where American stu-

corporate litigation, Cuneo, 49, de-

dents participated in local development projectsin Africa. Cuneo spent four months in northern Togo building acommunity center out of bricks. Up until 1965, the world Cuneo knew was the world in which he grew up -- Scarsdale, a New York suburb in Westchester County. But

cided it was time to take another shot at doing good in society in a form that © his young children could better understand and relate to. Seated behind his desk, Cuneo can look across Riverside Drive and see the trees shed yellow and brown’ leaves each time the chilly autumn wind blows across fromthe Hudson. His eyes underneath a pair of perfectly round spectacles mounted on his tall, straight nose, narrow into a line when he smiles. Looking back on his career as a corporate lawyer,

the Africa trip transformed Cuneo’s outlook of the world and nurtured a

spirit of volunteerism that was further enhanced during his residency at

States, Cuneo made an important contribution to the Harlem community. He founded the Harlem Tutorial Program, which pairs up graduate students with children in Harlem who need extra help with their school work. “T thought of the idea of a reverse Peace Corps," said Cuneo. The black civil rights movement had suffered a devastating blow that year with the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. By pairing up children in Harlem with foreign students from International House, Cuneo thought he could signal to the kids that “there’s a big world out there.” The program is still very much alive today. Cuneo said it. tickles him to see International House residents tutoring little children in the Main Lounge of the House.

Pedestrians walking past the House along Riverside Drive have only to look up from the sidewalk to see the figure of Cuneo, seated at his desk, diligently carrying out his duties. So stern does Cuneo’s face appear when he is seriously at work, that it can make some onlookers feel intimidated and guilty for intruding on such a busy person. “He is quite a tough man,” said Jacek Chowdhary, the current president of the Residents’ Council at International House. “He’s tough in the sense that he demands a lot,” said the 28-year old doctoral candidate from the Netherlands. “But the way he brings it to people gives the people the image that he is doing a lot in return, too.” This is Chowdhary’s third year at the House..

MESSAGE

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Since becoming President on September 1, I have been heartened by the many letters and calls I have received from I.House alumni throughout the world. Many thanks to you all for your good wishes and expressions of support. It seems to me that a sound alumni program rests on three foundations. The first is Networking, or enabling alumni to interact with each other and the House. This aspect should include services to alumni such as a place to stay while in New York, and data on like-minded or geographically close alumni through accurate lists and newsletters. It also means

facilitating local alumni organiza‘tions. The second is Recruitment, or assisting the House in recruiting the best and brightest graduate students that are committed to our unique international living experience. The third is Development, which means marshalling resources to advance the House and to provide opportunities similar to those you had for future generations, including the students that will assume leadership roles in your country.

As we get our House in order

of any yourselves, please contact the new Director of Alumni Affairs, Marian Sylla, here at the House. You

will be provided with packets containing information about the House and its programs, along with applications for admissions. I look forward to being in touch with you, individually and otherwise in the months and years ahead. I intend to be a visible and accessible leader of International House. I will write and speak widely about the importance of international educational exchange and what takes place at International House. I intend to assert the International House agenda before NAFSA: Association of International Educators and in other fora. With your help, we can raise the visibility of International House,

EXCERPTS FROM SUNDAY SUPPER WELCOME Many times in recent weeks I have found myself flooded with memories. As a resident, I participated in prior versions of Training Weekend, in Orientation, and in Sunday Suppers. These occasions held a special meaning for me. Now, 25 years later, I am again participating in the life of the House on a daily basis. The years have afforded me some perspective on my time here as a student, and on the value of this community. This perspective has become more focused in recent weeks as I have made a number of observations, and I'd like to share some of my thoughts with you this evening... We should pay attention to interaction, camaraderie and tolerance of our diverse backgrounds. We all must be sensitive to and respectful of the vastly different cultures represented here. If you really think about it, the active expression of our life here requires courage, stamina and integrity. While you are here, it is your responsibility to affirm and support the community at I.House, just as you will later in life, throughout the world. In my view, the House has come through a relatively difficult period. A year ago, for the first time in anyone's memory, the House was not full.

Some of its residents and staff had grown cynical, and there was evidence of malcontents causing physical damage and imposing needless costs on the community. Some felt that what should be their "home away from home" had been commercialized, depriving them of access to some of the House's facilities. They saw the budget for maintenance and cleanliness decrease. Today, the House is poised to reassert its unique status in the field of international educational exchange. First, it is full, very full, of bright and interesting people from all over the world, and we are turning down many qualified applicants. Second, its staff is responding to my challenges and

insistence on professional service attitudes and extra effort. This is evident by their commitment of personal time to attend events such as the training

what role the House should play in

said Cuneo.

Cuneo’s ultimate goal is to implement a mini-curriculum in leadership that every single resident at the House would take during their residency. Through such a program, “one can sharpen and clarify what it means to be trained to be a leader in

the global community and impart some more specific leadership skills. And it doesn’t need to take a lot of

time,” said Cuneo.

Despite all his dedication to the House and its future, one factor over-

rides everything: his family. He had initially told the presidential search committee that he couldn’t even consider the candidacy if his 11-year old daughter,

about what has to be done to get fully on track. I have spoken frankly to

them about our issues and problems, as well as all the pluses. Most important, residents seem excited about what the House means -and can do for them. They seem to understand that as we rekindle the spirit, rethink the priorities and restrain costs, they can and must contribute. Every day, if each member of this community performs his or her role to a high standard -- by doing their job very well, by participating in the programs and activities to share their culture and their individuality, and by keeping the place clean and helping to keep costs down -- they will contribute... Let me give you some hard facts about the budget. It may surprise you to learn that the fees you pay only cover about 80 percent of the costs. To cover the 20 percent gap, we must raise $820,000 in private and corporate giving. The annual fund goal last year was $760,000 and we were only able to raise $700,000, despite extraordinary efforts by many staff, residents, alumni and Trustees. Another way we cover the gap is through earnings on restricted and unrestricted funds. If we dip into that principal, we mortgage the future, and we are straining in this lowinterest rate environment to even earn what was budgeted. I found when I arrived that occupancy levels were being pushed to the limit. This was done to meet short-term budgetary goals, without due regard for the time it takes to assess and prepare rooms for new arrivals...I am convinced that long-term it will be better for this community to sacrifice somewhat on high occupancy numbers for clean, well maintained rooms and greatly reduced room changes...I also discovered that an initiative was being considered to provide programs for foreign visitors temporarily in the U.S. It was studied , and it was decided that the program did not meet the fundamental testof centrality to the I.House mission. There was very little in it for residents and it required resources and imposed costs better put to meet our immediate needs... We live, work study, dine, and play together, ...we try to bring you

together through numerous programs... - cont. p. 6

The residents, staff, and Trustees of International House mourn the loss of Ruth Tensen De Witte, an I.House resident from 1938-39 and 1948-49. Her memory will remain vivid to us as well as future generations of I.House residents through the establishment of the Ruth Tensen De Witte Scholarship Fund. Mrs. Tensen De Witte received her MA in Child Development at Teachers College of Columbia University, and was a first and second grade teacher for the Rochester, New York public school system. She was so successful at teaching beginning readers that she was frequently observed by her peers. She once stated that if she had a teaching secret it was to "keep it simple, meaningful, and uncluttered." Mrs. Tensen De Witte also wrote numerous children's books under her maiden name, Ruth M. Tensen. All her books were critically acclaimed by fellow educators. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, the New York State Teachers Association, and the Authors Guild of America. She was also an avid hiker and a member of the Genesee Valley Hiking Club. Over the years, Mrs. Tensen De Witte visited often, and made a point to attend resident activities and programs. She was always concerned about the welfare of International House, often conveying suggestions and offering assistance. She was always pleased to hear news from I. House, and welcomed visits by our President Emeritus Howard A. Cook. In 1986 Mrs. Tensen De Witte included a bequest in her will to I. House estimated at nearly $400,000. This bequest, she stated, would be used to provide scholarships to European students at I.House. Including I.House in her estate plans was meaningful to Mrs. Tensen De Witte because, "I. House continues to enrich my life--receiving mail from my friends I knew there since 1938!" She had fond memories of her friendsJouke Jepsen, Kees Overwater, and Dr. Helen Sill.
