Island lives up to its name
United Press International
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas
— Paradise Island carries the perfect
name and wears it beautifully. The
lush palm trees, white sand, warm
breezes and blue waters combine for
a vacation that is pure heaven.
Even the occasional, brief passing
rain showers are welcome.
There are several hotels, resorts
and villas on the small island directly
across the bay. Perhaps one of the
best vacation opportunities is pro
vided by Club Mediteranee.
With nearly 100 clubs around the
world, Club Med has perfected a
combination of relaxation, activities,
entertainment and friendly atmo
sphere to keep the vacationer satis
fied.
even just vegetating on the beach or
by the pool.
Club Med bills itself as the “anti
dote for civilization,” a slogan that
surely fits the mood and atmo
sphere.
The pay-one-price vacation also
removes many of the worries facing
travelers to other spots. Guests at the
village need spend nothing, except
for drinks, once they’ve paid for the
trip. There are optional extras —
such as scuba diving, para sailing,
moonlight champagne cruises and
midnight shark fishing, but you
won’t go starving for activity without
them.
A week-long vacation during the
summer season from New York goes
for $949, plus a $30 membership
fee. The cost includes airfare,
ground transportation to and from
Nassau International Airport, all
meals and enough sporting activities
to exhaust even the mostly athleti
cally inclined.
For the guests at Club Med’s Par
adise Island village, there is no work,
no strain, no reality. The days can
last from dawn to dawn and are
filled with more than a dozen sched
uled activities. But guests, called
GMs, are free to do as they please —
Tennis is the sport at Paradise Is
land, with 20 courts available, 10 of
them illuminated for night play.
Guests can choose between 2 , /i
hours daily of intensive classes or a
daily hour of quality instruction. The
Har Tru courts are kept in good
condition.
A typical day begins with break
fast and leads into activities, trips
and sporting events that start about
9 a.m., with jogging and calisthenics.
Tennis, snorkeling, sailing, wind
surfing, archery, yoga, swimming
lessons, volleyball or basketball are
all offered at the village.
Lunch and dinner briefly inter
rupt the activities, leading to a 10
p.m. cabaret show and an all-niglii
disco that “closes when the las
dancer goes home.”
Perhaps the greatest adventure ii
the club’s twice-weekly picnic to Rose
Island, a deserted beach about U
minutes by boat from Paradise Is
land. The picnic quickly turns intoi
sangria holiday, as guests take pan
in games, snorkeling, swimmingand
a luncheon.
Club Med is designed to make ii
easier for people to meet. Guesis
seem relaxed and ready to talk, and
everyone is on a first-name basis. Ev
erything is done in groups, there are
few private lessons, and meals are
served at tables of eight, which are
filled as people arrive.
After dinner, the club’s employ
ees, known as “GO’s” — for gentle
organizers — put on cabaret show
that range from dancing and lip syn
cing along with popular songs lo
skits that border on the absurd
They’re not professional entertain
ers, just a group of tennis and wain
sports instructors, office worken,
hostesses and others having a good
lime.
For those looking for a differeni
type of vacation. Paradise Island of
fers inns and villas scattered along
the sandy beaches, as well as hotdi
owned by Loews, Holiday Inn and
Resorts International, which oper
ates the island’s only casino.

cause the principles of math and sci
ence are the same throughout the
world. This means, however, that he
is not able to incorporate his experi
ences into the material.
Throughout his work at Texas
A&M on a master’s and now a doc
torate, Chung has taught the labs for
several different engineering
courses. His problems with language
include one students don’t usually
think about.
“In the beginning of every semes
ter students complain that I can’t
communicate with them,” he says.
One native speaker of Arabic
finds Texas accents as hard to un
derstand as Chung.
“The language barrier is there (in
the classroom) and it’s unfortunate,”
says Nabil AbouKhair, a Lebanese
master’s student in biochemistry.
“The hardest thing for a foreign stu
dent at Texas A&M is to adjust to
the southern accent.”
AbouKhair is finishing his second
year at Texas A&M. Although he
has been on a research assistantship
this past year, he taught a biochemis
try lab his first year. Like Pablo Got-
tret, AbouKhair says his problems
grew more out of his position than
his nationality.
“If there was a hostility against me
for being foreign I didn’t feel it,” he
says. “Some students are going to
hate you anyway, especially the ones
with the low grades.”
Language didn’t create a problem
for students assigned to AbouKhair
for one good reason: he has no ac
cent. In fact, other than his name.
nothing marks him as an interna
tional student.
“When I taught here, people did
not notice that I was from a foreign
country,” he says.
AbouKhair’s ties to Lebanon,
however, still are strong. He serves
as president of the Lebanese Stu
dents’ Association. Originally he
wanted to study at the American
University in Beirut but couldn’t
communicate with officials there be
cause of the civil war in Lebanon.
Despite the fighting, he plans to re
turn to Lebanon after graduation.
Still, he understands the language
problems student have with foreign
teaching assistants.
“Communication between a stu
dent and a TA is the most important
part of the job,” he says. “Students
and TA’s should talk slower and fo
cus more on what the other is trying
to say.”
(Tomorrow: Students and admin
istrators discuss their views on the
effectiveness of foreign graduate
teaching assistants.)
House denounces Burford choice
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House, fol
lowing the lead of the Senate, voted
363-51 Tuesday to denounce Presi
dent Reagan’s choice of former EPA
chief Anne Burford to head an envi
ronmental advisory committee.
A total of 109 Republicans joined
in approving a non-binding resolu
tion condemning the selection of
Burford to chair the National Advi
sory Committee on Oceans and At
mosphere and asking Reagan to
withdraw it.
Only two Democrats joined the 49
Republicans who voted against it

and Burford’s defenders termed the
resolution “nothing but a political
football trying to raise the specter
that the Reagan administration is
against the environment.”
The Senate last Friday, in a 74-19
vote, approved an identical resolu
tion.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said earlier this week that
Reagan, vacationing at his California
ranch, stands by his appointment of
Burford and will ignore the congres
sional resolutions.
In House debate Tuesday, Rep.
Don Young, R-Alaska, insisted that

Burford is qualified for the position
and Rep. Ron Marlenee, R-Mont.,
said Democrats, by pushing the reso
lution, appeared “willing to kick this
lady while she is down.”
Rep. James Scheuer, D-N.Y-,
called her appointment “anothersad
chapter in the Alice-in-Wonderland
story of Anne Gorsuch Burford and
the Environmental Protection
Agency.” I
Molinari, one of Burford’s few
supporters in the House debate,
termed the appointment both
“dumb” and “insensitive,” but said
the committee makes no policy.
