Would you like an alternative
to residence hall living? Would
you like to be involved in ex-
citing international programs?
Would you consider applying to
live in the Southwestern Uni-
versify International House,
which will have several vacan-
cies for men and women for the
spring semester?
The House is an older
residence on the east side of
campus which houses 14 men
and women. The residents are
asked to ake a commitment to
provide programs of inter-
national flavor for the campus
and Georgetown community. A
Academic internships give
from zero to three or more
credits each semester. The in-
ternships are available in a per-
son's major or minor field. An
internship receiving zero
hours' credit is for the purpose
of having experience in a par-
ticular field.
Any person having the re-
quired introductory courses in
a field may apply for an in- •
ternship in Georgetown or the
surrounding area during the
school year or may work on one
at home during the summer
months. Some of the possible
jobs could be in a chemical fac-
tory, hospital, or business cor-
poration.
The social internship
program is directed by John
Waide and is this year in the
process of revamping. A three-
hour religion credit is given for
this course, which can be taken
after completion of an introduc-
tory religion course. The stu-
dent who takes this type of in-
ternship works as a volunteer
at places such as the Mary
Bailey Day Care Center, Austin
State School and various child
abuse centers. A night class,
reading and a term paper are
I -
required for this program.
"Anyone who is interested in
the course come by and see me,
speaking skills."
The contest is open to all
students and everyone is urged
to participate.
There will be cash awards of
$100 for first place, $75 for se-
cond place and $50 for third
place.

"Pragmatism is the only uni-
quely American contribution to
philosophy. Yet most people
even today incorrectly
associate progmatism with
short-sighted selfishness. I

origins of pragmatism and
where the doctrine leads."
