COLUMBIA PROGRAM.

"September of 1981 will mark the begin-
ning of the fourth year of Columbia's
exchange program with Tezukxayama Junior
College of Nara, Japan. Aporoximately ..
70 students participate in this 5 month
study-tour of B.C. each year.

I am writing to ask for your help in
making the "Canadian Experience" a rich,
varied and meaningful one for these
overseas students, who wish to contribute
to, as well as learm about, our community.
I would appreciate knowing if we can get
tegether to discuss the possibility of
involving these students in any social,
cultural, musical or athletic activities
at your institution.

f

n exchange, our students can offer yours
a variety of truly educational axperiences.
They are skilled in traditional and mod-
ern arts: folk dnacing and singing,

Slower arrangement, oregami (Japanese
paper-folding), tea ceremony; modern dance
and music, Painting and ceramics. Our
students are also skilled in sports such
as volleyball, bacminton and table-tennis.
These skills are ones which our students
are willing and able to share with
Canadian students .

The students are all young women between
the ages of 18 and 20, attending
Tezukayama Junior College, where they
major in English Conversation. In
Canada, they live with Canadian families,
most of whem Live in or near Coquitlam.
While most of the students are at an
intermediate level of English proficiency,
they are nonetheless all eager to meet
young English-speaking Canadians in in-
formal educational settings."

Anyone interested in participating,
olease contact Gerry DellaMattia, Local
