find Jerry Lewis irritating to a gal
from France? Could you introduce
the combination burrito to the guy
from Korea? I think you could.
Sometime this week, maybe
right now (it doesn't take but a mo¬
ment), run over to the San Ramon
3 Building (NW of the PB build¬
ing) and step into room 138 (there'll
be a sign with the letters AEI on the
door somewhereabouts) and ask for
a Conversatipn Partner form! The
form is skinny, yellow, and very
easy to fill out.
You just give it to this cool lady
named Marcy or her sidekick
Blanca. and they'll do the rest. In a
little while you'll get a letter or
phone call from a guy name Matt
(he's the one in charge of the whole
thing) and boom, bam, bingo... you
get to meet someone from some¬
where completely different.
They get to speak English and
tell their friends back home about
their cool new American friend, and
you get to tell them about Fresnp
and America and tell all your
friends about your cool new inter¬
national friend.. You also get to dis¬
pel stereotypes, create a truly
unique friendship, and do some¬
thing that will make you feel very
good inside. It can be quite lonely
here if you don't have anyone to
talk to other than a host mom. or a
teacher. Conversation partners
make a difference.
The number over at AEI is 278-
2097. Give it a ring. Better yet.

to explain Christmas fruitcake to
the guy from Kuwait or crazy
straws to the student from Taiwan.
You can do it. I know you can.

"This kills two birds with one

"We can recruit for hourly positions

The second panel will discuss
marginalization in poverty, and the
third panel will give people in pov¬

The first two panels will be
made up of faculty and social ser¬

said.
In addition, to the exhibit and
panels, a dinner will be held on Oct.

"In a prior position that I had at
another financial institution we had
a great deal of success at the career

excellent reputation."
Students unable to attend the

"Not only is our agenda grow¬

There are several items that have
been on the Senate agenda from the

the composition of the Executive
Committee and a motion regarding
the principles that drive diversity.
The motion regarding the action

poverty and learn about their expe¬

"This university is an educa¬
tional institution; we're here to edu¬
cate people, and I think this is one
way to do it," Bousquet said.
Chang Moua is one of the stu¬
dents participating in the poverty
project. Moua said that while look¬
ing for information on poverty, he
found out that there hasn't been
much research done on the topic.
However, this did not discourage
Moua.
"This is just the beginning.
Hopefully, this exhibit will open up
people's eyes to a lot of things that
are going on in Fresno and the rest
of the county." Moua said.
