HOWARD COOK alling him “one of the most significant figures in the history of International House,” President

Donald L. Cuneo was joined by New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, I. House Trustees and more than 400

residents, alumni and friends in honoring President Emeritus Howard A. Cook. The occasion was the September 17th Welcome Sunday Supper, and marked the 40th anniversary of Cook’s appointment as

President in 1955. It was an evening of accolades, reunions and remembrances, beginning with a large reception in the Main Lounge.

Presiding over

the room was the Soss Melik (‘50-'54) portrait of the honoree, commissioned by the Board of Trustees upon Cook’s retirement in 1980 to

honor his nearly 25 years as President. Special memorabilia boards displayed photographs chronicling the Cook presidency, and depicted the honoree with Dwight D. Eisenhower, Eleanor Roosevelt, Averill Harriman, Dean Acheson, Margaret Mead and other past visitors to International House.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Alumni Profile : THE HON. MARK R. MacGUIGAN |

t this writing, Tanzania is poised to elect a new

President. I. House alumnus Benjamin Mkapa (62-63), former Minster of Foreign Affairs and current Minister for Science, Technology and | Higher Education, is the presidential candidate of the

governing party in Tanzania's first multiparty elections. If | elected, Mkapa will become the second I. House alumnus to become an African head of state, following in the footsteps of

Nnamdi Azikiwe, first President of Nigeria. Mkapa’s distinguished career, which you will read about in this issue, is

illustrative of many I. House alumni who have achieved prominence in the global arena. The potential for greatness among those in the I. House community is made clear when we look at the impact I. House alumni have had on world events over the last seventy-one

years. To name but a few examples, there are those in the arts, like I.M. Pei and Leontyne Price, and in the sciences, like Aage Niehls Bohr and Rene Dubos. There are also a unique few who risked or gave up their life for freedom and human rights like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Magda Trocme. The achievements of these alumni are pischi

In the Tanzania Sunday News, July 23, 1995, former President Julius Nyerere, ‘Father of the Nation”, who campaigned for Mkapa states that change in Tanzania can only be attained through selection of a credible presidential candidate. Mkapa is seen as a man with an impressive depth of international exposure, and the ability to formulate realistic proposals concerning Tanzania in a global setting. Born November 12, 1938 at Ndanda, Mkapa graduated from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda in 1962 with a BA in linguistics. He attended a special program in diplomacy and international relations at Columbia University from 1962 to 1963 when he lived at

WIL Program — Five Years Strong The fifth year of the Women’s International Leadership (WIL) Program was launched at a reception and dinner on September 27 at the residence of International Trustee Ambassador Kenneth Taylor and Dr. Patricia Taylor, renowned epidemiologist and WIL Advisory Council Chair. This year’s 15 WIL participants were selected from a field of at least 42 applicants. The women represent 12 nations and five continents. Fields of study are equally diverse, % eR ig | ranging from art conservation to busi) | ness. The program consists of lectures and seminars on basic leadership skills such as public speaking and conflict resolution, and also looks at leadership styles and gender issues. Weekend semi-

nars offer intensive training in carefully chosen areas. The first weekend, held in early October, concentrated on survival

training and risk-taking and featured team-building exercises of orienteering and rock-climbing.

Special Interest Groups ®

Continuing the momentum of the 1994-95 academic year, new and returning residents

were invited to attend Special Interest Group meetings in September.

Residents Welcomed

The 1995-96 academic year kicked off in late August, as nearly 500 new residents arrived at 500 Riverside Drive within a bustling three-week period. As part of a joint effort coordinated between the President's, Programs & Resident Life and Admissions offices, a Welcome Program was organized to serve newcomers at check-in. Nineteen staff and 41 returning resident members volunteered their time to assist arriving residents with their luggage and assist them to their rooms. Ongoing tours of House facilities and the surrounding neighborhood were also conducted. “The Welcome Program enhances the spirit of the I. House community and fulfills one of the basic functions of the House — to welcome and ease the difficulties of arriving residents in New York City,” stated President Don Cuneo.

Progress on

International Leaders Program

The International Leaders Program, now in its second year, strives to offer tangible skills in leadership to some 60 I. House residents. Participants have already assumed leadership roles in I. House, as Resident and Program Assistants, House Managers and Peer Counselors. This year’s participants represent 23 nations and six continents. Similar to the WIL and McLaine Central/East European Leadership Programs, residents attend workshops and seminars to enhance their leadership skills — concentrating on cross-cultural communication and multicultural sensitivity. The first Training Weekend dealt with development of listening skills, conflict resolution and Project Adventure,

This year’s McLaine Central/East European Leadership Program welcomed 41 new residents and 13 returning residents at an opening reception in September. Tudy McLaine, I. House alumna and wife of the late Ambassador Alan P. McLaine, former Canadian diplomat for whom the program is named, was introduced to the young residents from the region, now representing 18 nations. Seven of the neediest participants received significant outreach scholarship funds to alleviate the financial burden of living in New York City.

Rueckert Succeeds Eyre as Chair of Executive Committee The International House Board of Trustees, at its annual meeting on May 23rd, elected Trustee William Dodge Rueckert as Chairman of the Board’s Executive Committee. The appointment became effective July 1. A Trustee since 1983, Rueckert is a grandson of the late Cleveland E. Dodge, one of International House’s founders and a member of its first Board of Governors in 1922. He is President of Rosow & Company, and its affiliate,

Several alumni in the New York area also participated in the evening sessions, offering practical advice about the House, graduate studies and career opportunities. Special thanks go out to the following alumni “hosts”: Moira Curtain (88-90) and Dr. Ajit Dhawan (‘70-’72) (Medicine and Public Health); Rajeev Kelkar (‘89-’92), Seema Varma (‘91-’92) and Bruce Silverberg (‘90-’91) (Physical, Natural & Computer Sciences and Architecture & Engineering); Erasmia Voukelatos (‘89-’91) and Anna Maria Manalo (‘89-’91) (Creative and Performing Arts); and Russell Baker (‘87-’89) (Journalism).

He has played a prominent role in the successful development of several high profile public and private companies in both the national and international business communities. Rueckert is involved in numerous New York non-profit organizations, including International House, where he has chaired the House and Development committees and the successful Capital Campaign of the late 1980s. He is also a director of the Cleveland H. Dodge Foundation, a philanthropic foundation started in 1917 by his great-grandfather. He succeeds Stephen C.

ment to its ideals.” It was unanimously adopted. Eyre was later feted by Trustees, led by Abby M. O’Neill, at a dinner in his honor following the Trustee Retreat at the Rockefeller family estate at Pocantico Hills in early June. He was presented with an elaborately calligraphed version of the Board's resolution, penned by New York artist Barry Morentz, and a specially inscribed clock from Tiffany & Co. usually reserved for recipients of the Harry Edmonds Award. Coincidentally, Eyre, who is Executive Director of the John A. Hartford Foundation, Inc., joined the Board on the same day as Rueckert in 1983.

Cook in Davis Hall that comes from diversity helps explain his view of U.S. immigration, the focal topic of his address. “We are constantly being renewed, re-energized, and that happens because new people come here to improve their lives,” Giuliani said. “A great society is one that is growing, one that is not afraid of change. New York needs immigration, and if we lose this, we will lose our uniqueness.” While acknowledging that illegal immigration is a mounting problem, Guiliani stated that restrictions on illegal aliens, like California's Proposition 187, are irrational solutions for a free and open country like the United States. “Expanding legal immigration is the most effective means of cutting down on illegal immigration, Giuliani submitted, noting that “this is not the most favorite position in the United States.” After an exchange with residents on questions ranging from the conflicting interests of small businesses vs. mega-stores, and the troubled New York City Board of Education, Trustees joined Giuliani on stage to honor President Emeritus Howard Cook. Giuliani warmly congratulated Mr. Cook on his 40 years of service to students, and on the important role of I. House in the community, and presented him with a letter of appreciation from the City of New York.

The foyer of Davis Hall will be renovated later this year to contain memorabilia displays which will vividly portray the history and mission of International House. Initial stages of the project begin this fall as doors, frames and raised panels are replaced throughout the space. Thereafter, the floor will be carpeted and walls repainted. “The permanent memorabilia display is an impor-

tant project that will serve to reinforce to current residents, returning alumni and others our values and purposes as an institution,” notes President Cuneo.

through books, newspapers and magazines, and ‘chat’ with dozens of people around the world. The possibilities for International House are equally exciting. Last winter, the Admissions Office expressed the need for e-mail, the most basic function of globally networked computer systems. Currently, most universities worldwide offer e-mail service to students and faculty. Inquiries about the House, its facilities and services could be more efficiently handled in cost and time by electronic communication, rather than by the standard use of postal service, telephone and fax. Many other potential uses have since been identified in the Programs and Alumni areas, as examples. More frequent communication between I. House and alumni and among alumni themselves is necessary to help alumni network and maintain their ties to, and support of the House. Hubertus Rybak, Bogart Welzel and Uwe Zéllner, alumni from the Bonn/Cologne chapter of Freunde des I. House wrote the House about their use of the Internet in Germany, and their desire to present up-to-date and attractive information from I. House. “To obtain a functioning alumni network, regular information and communication on events and people is indispensable. Getting in contact by letter can be realized only with a few dear friends for it is time consuming,” said Welzel, “and to phone them regularly is very expensive.” Since August 16th, local chapters of Freunde are on the Net along with a web-page of

South African Fete The South African Cultural Hour, held for a standing room only audience of over 300 in Davis Hall on a September Friday, depicted the everyday life of black South Africans from 1948, when the Nationalist party was elected into government, to 1995, when the South African Rugby team won the World Championship title. Through wedding songs and protest songs, a group of close to 30 South African residents portrayed the joys and the struggles of their country over the past 50 years. South African artists such as songwriter Thuli Dumakude and poet Sello also helped out in the evening's festivities. “We wanted to set the mood for reconciliation, for our new nation, and our continued work towards democracy,” stated Nandi Mandela, a principal organizer of the event and granddaughter of South African president Nelson Mandela. Ms. Mandela and the other South Africans who participated in the Cultural Hour are enrolled in the Professional Development Program, organized between their country and the City of New York during the Dinkins Administration. The program involves a full-time business management traineeship at companies throughout New York, as well as lectures and seminars at CUNY — City College of New York on Saturdays. With busy schedules, the group managed to contribute their small amounts of free time and practiced three times a week for close to three weeks prior to the presentation. “This is our country and most people do not really know about life in South Africa. It was a personal sacrifice for all of us, but we were given a wonderful opportunity and wanted to make it the best,” stated Ms. Mandela.

I. House admissions information. The offering was first in German, but the group intends to translate their I. House web-page into six or so European languages this fall. The address of Freunde’s World-Wide Web page is http://www.scope.gmd.de/info/IHOUSE/. I. House has taken a careful look at its needs, and conducted a fairly exhaustive review of Internet products to determine how best to use the Internet, and what information to offer. Staff member Christine Ashburn is coordinating I. House Internet services, and will set-up I. House’s

e-mail address in the next few weeks. In the meantime, alumni with access to the Internet can contact her at Dawdle@aol.com, or at the Development Office, International House, 500 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10027.

Southeast Asian

Plan

Most of I. House’s 17 residents from Southeast Asia had not met each other until they gathered at a reception held for them in early October. The interaction between the residents, staff and Southeast Asian alumni who attended the event helped develop a strong, cohesive link and a resolve to increase the larger I. House community's awareness of Southeast Asia’s rich and diverse cultures. At an October 28th meeting, Southeast Asian residents laid the groundwork for a Cultural Hour to be set amidst a week-long program of cultural and informative events on Southeast Asian political and social issues next spring. Current Southeast Asian residents representing Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Singapore, constitute a little over two per cent of the resident population. The House is trying to increase these numbers with its focus on Southeast Asia and the meeting of the World Council in Singapore next March. si

at the results of our efforts. Each of us received a personal thank you note from the I. House President, which we hold very dear.”

The group enlisted the support of the South African Tourism Board, the South African Consulate, and several South Africans in the New York area. The Minister Counsellor of the Consulate, Mr. Khulu Mbatha, was in attendance. The Cultural Hour also included tastings of homemade South African dishes, wine and beer. “Currently we have a government of parties that have no history of working together just a short time ago they were enemies,” said Ms. Mandela. “Yet they set a good example to the people of the country that there is no reason why you can’t make it work. Continued foreign reinvestment, through American, European, and Japanese companies show the potential within South Africa, and greatly improves our economic climate.” T

“T really appreciate the hoopla,” he said, “but I’ve been lucky and really very fortunate to have been associated with this place.” He went on to commend Don Cuneo, who he has known for 29 years, first as a resident, then Resident Advisor, and later as Trustee and President. He praised the I. House staff, and joyously introduced former staff members Bill Witherspoon and Sheila Hadley, who were at the House when he came in 1955, and Jim Rathnam, who led the first 1. House road show in 1957. Other former staff members — Programs Director Ellie Spiegel, Development Director Nancy Cooper, and Admissions Director Susan Storms — were also in attendance. After regaling the audience with reminiscences and charming anecdotes, Cook,

who turned 80 last April, ended his remarks with a favorite adage. “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness,” he told the audience. Reminding residents of the Candlelight

Supper next May, he urged them to fulfill the promise of the I. House mission, and to “carry the light of International House” wherever they go. The audience, comprised mostly of new

residents, rose to its feet for an extended, heartfelt ovation. sé

LETTER TO I.HOUSE

Rwanda, they told me that I am crazy and sarcastically wished

me good luck. To tell you the truth, I do not regret being here a bit. Rwanda is very beautiful. It is known as the country of a thousand hills. Landscapes vary from natural pine forests, all green small valleys, and countless hills ornamented with traditional red-brick houses. Papaya, banana, and avocado trees are everywhere. 1985-86 German residents perform at the Night of Nations’ German Booth.

Saturday morning, alumni walked from their hotel to ‘GMD — Forschungsinstitut Informationstechnik’ (Research Institute for Information Technology) to take part in a three-hour Internet presentation. The highlight of the workshop was when the participants explored the universe of Internet by themselves. Even alumni knowledgeable about using other online services such as Compuserv, were fascinated by the multimedia world of the

World-Wide Web.

It was widely agreed that I. House alumni

should use this media to improve and strengthen their links in

the future. Saturday afternoon, Freunde’s business meeting focused on the regional programs of Freunde chapters, recruitment of new members, improvement of Freunde’s organization, public rela-

tions, student recruitment for I. House, and fundraising. Klaus Mossle (‘84-’85) and Clemens Kiichler (‘87-’88) were re-elected President and Treasurer, respectively, and Vera Hammans (‘93) was elected Vice President. The weekend continued with a drive in to Bonn to gather on the banks of the Rhein, snap pictures and enjoy each others company, and then on to hear a speech by the Alumni, residents and staff enjoy I. House spirit at Long Island Sunday Supper. Hosts Rod and Ginny Lowman are in the back row, far right.

WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA World Council Members Joanne Pillsbury (‘83-'85, ‘88-'89) and Robert Chadwick (‘81-'83) held an alumni reception at Joanne’s home on September 14th. The gathering welcomed a

group of new 1995 alumni interning at the World Bank.

Mark

Kagan (‘78-’80), Mine Ozpinar (‘85-'89), Leeanne Sharpe (‘9495), Emmanuel Wope (‘94-’95), and Beatriz Arbelaez (*94-’95) were among the alumni who attended. Joanne and Bob plan to hold a larger cocktail reception in Virginia, and a small theater or concert benefit later in the year.

I felt myself very much ‘embedded’ in the spirit and place of 1.

break in the early afternoon, said good bye and promised to meet same time next year, maybe in Hamburg or Berlin. The annual Freunde des I. House weekend is open to all

alumni. Alumni who plan to be in Germany at the end of September in 1996 should contact Vera Hammans, 69-671162, for further information. The address of Freunde’s World-Wide Web page is http:/Avww.scope.gmd.de/info/IHOUSE/. Freunde, a tax exempt entity, raises significant scholarship funds for needy residents from Eastern Europe and the developing world. Shortly after the Bonn/Sankt Augustin meeting, Freunde’s Scholarship Committee awarded $10,000 of their funds for 1995-96 scholarships to current needy residents.

Contributors July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995 or seven decades private sector philanthropy has been central to International House’s ability to fulfill its mission. Our seventy-first year was no exception, and was marked by a record Annual Fund ($767,000 received) as well as by successful Restricted and Planned Giving campaigns ($1.32 million received or newly pledged). During 1994-95 current gifts combined with income generated by International House’s named and endowed Program and Scholarship Funds provided over 10 percent of the House’s operating budget. In order to attain a balanced budget in the year ahead, the Board of Trustees has established a goal of $820,000 for the 1995-96 Annual Fund. Toward providing future means and building the House’s endowment, a $3 million Planned Giving Campaign was launched in 1993. At the close of this campaign’s second year a total of $2.4 million in gifts have been received or pledged. For their voluntary financial support throughout the past year, we are deeply appreciative of the many individuals, corporations, and foundations whose names appear on the following Honor Roll of Donors: CORPORATIONS FOUNDATIONS
