Lectm to disci Bie Battalio govern BY MELISSA JOfiD The Battalion Program brings world cultures to classroom BY JOE SCHUMACHER The Battalion Students from Texas A&M will have the chance to introduce inter national cultures to schools in the Bryan-College Station area through the International Education Out reach program. The IEO program, developed by the MSC L.T. Jordan Institute for In ternational Awareness and the In ternational Student Association, will bring a group of A&M students, called the Alcoa Fellows for Inter national Awareness, to schools in the area. The goal is to expose school-age children to international cultures. The Alcoa Fellows will dis cuss a broad range of topics such as geography, language, traditional dress and food. The IEO program will start visiting schools in the spring semester. Luke J. Altendorf, director of the Jordan Institute, said the program will allow students in local schools to become familiar with the inter national cultures in the area. “[The IEO program] will give K- 12 students an opportunity to meet international students and talk with them about their cultures,” Altendorf said. Whitney Hall, director of the IEO program and a senior psychology major, said the Jordan Institute and ISA have been coordinating the pro gram. She said the Jordan Institute handles the administrative part, while ISA supplies the personnel. Hall said the planning for the program began last December. She said international students have visited schools sporadically to dis cuss their cultures, and the presen tations have been well received. The IEO program is a formalized version of these original presenta tions that allows teachers to find speakers that correlate vyith their lesson plans. Norberto Chaclin, chair of com munity outreach committee for ISA, said although planning began for IEO a year ago, violence in the Northgate area has fueled interest and support for this project.

Altendorf said the Alcoa Fellows are unique because the group con sists of both international students who speak about their native coun tries, and U.S.-born students who serve as facilitators. Alcoa Fellows participate in train ing to prepare them for work as a fa cilitator or speaker, and they also learn how to present information to different age groups. There will be training sessions at the beginning of next semester for students interested in becoming an Alcoa Fellow. Chaclin said there is a lot of sup port on the campus and in the com munity, and he plans to be busy working on this project. “I think this is going to be bigger than 1 anticipated,” Chaclin said. “We are going to need a lot of help.” Karl Rove, a consultani cal candidates and office will speak today on thed election of Governor M Clements in 1978 hador^; publican party in Texas. ; Rove worked for il,. during his 19 7 8-198: i Rove’s lecture, “One 111 Make a Difference,”will third annual ClementsLel Charles Schultz, pirfel brary science and cl archivist, said Rove’s tat I low up RogerOlien’sleet®I about the role of theRepubl | ty in Texas from 1920 toW| Don Wilson, execute tor of the George Busiu tion, said Rove is knowleJ about the political tef Texas and should prmi analysis of both CleiM the Republican party.
