open in South and Central Ameri-
ca, Europe, Far East, Africa, and
the Middle East. At the beginning
of the running,each contestant filled
out applications, took tests, an-
swered questions. All these factors
are included and considered at this
time.
The homes abroad are found by
volunteer American Field Service
committees which are made up of
AFS returnees. These committees
look for and interview prospective
families for the American students
and select those which are suit-
able. Then these committee select
among the hopeful students ones
who would fit in the easiest. The
“could be” problem of religion
must be taken into consideration.
Although this is not of great im-
portance, it is easier to have the
religions to be the same or at least
be basically the same.

Laughlin, Patty Rogers, and Don
Wood—have been chosen to rep-

Judy Tate and Becky Russell,
juniors, were announced as final-
ists in the American Field Service
Summer Program at the Exchange
Student Assemby. The assembly
program was given by Mariko
Okutsu and Pamy Paschel.
There were originally twenty-
two students who applied for the
honor. There are such qualifica-
tions as a B average, never having
made a D, and excellent health,
that are musts. From a lack of
these qualifications a few were
eliminated, 13 to be exact.
The nine who were left then
were interviewed by a panel who
tried to consider all factors, such
as an outgoing personality, the
ability to get along with people,
young and old; the ability to adapt
quickly to any situation, and a
real interest and desire to partic-
ipate in a program of this type,
in deciding which persons would
best represent the United States.
Again they were reduced to four,
and then finally to Judy and
Becky.
Countries to which either girl
will go depend on a number of
factors. First of all, it depends on
what country the student wants to
visit. This year there are homes
