In the case of FSSC, whose
chairman is Associate Su-
preme Court Justice William
o. Douglas, wives of most of
the justices have performed
both these services in addi-
ton to their more usual roles
as luncheon and dinner host

The State Department asks
the help of FSSC volunteers
in arranging several-day pro-
grams for an average of three
or four student groups a
month. Volunteers are espe-
cially in demand during
Christmas and spring holi-
days and semester breaks
when a good portion Of the
47,000 foreign students en-
rolled at colleges throughout
the country may decide to
visit Washington.
Typical Volunteer
Irena Roberts is a typical
volunteer in that she regu-
larly devotes at least two
days a week to foreign stu
dents. With her schedule
this takes some doing. AS
an associate professor of
chemistry at Trinity College,
she teaches two and a half
days a week. In addition,
she is an associate in scien-
tific projects undertaken by
her husband, DR.. Richard

MIDDLEB URIC, Va
There's some really serious
business going on around
Middleburg, despite insinua-
tions to the contrary by the
Hexagon Club. Children are
being educated. in spite of
themselves, by a large and
dedicated group of teachers,
some of whom foxhunt and
some of whom do not.
To balance the scales,
solve the equation and dot
the final a." the headmaster
Of Foxcroft School and his
wife, Van and Kitty Merle
smith, have a system. They
can out-ride and out-hunt
their charges and are regu-
lars with the Middleburg
Hunt. Miss Charlotte No
land was NTH of Middleburg
not so long ago and hunted
right along with her girls.0
On the other hand, the

dents, with their regular
scholastic fare, an annual

This information has Just
been catalogued for the first

Der of the Foreign Student
Service Council.
Mrs. Roberts has been
working with foreign students
several days a week for the
past three and a half years
and thought she was familiar
with most groups in the field.
Last fall she turned out a
preliminary edition of the di-
rectory listing Is agencies.
And as word of her project
got around she was deluged
with telephone calls resulting
in word that at least 40
groups have an active pro-
gram going.
As Pages
With the assistance Of Mrs.
Dean Brown, another FSSC
board member, Mrs. Roberts
researched. typed, mimeo-
graphed and assembled this
unique As page directory
which spells out for the first
time the organizations, their
headquarters, principals, spe-
cific interests and activities
and their sponsorship.
Mrs. Roberts is already at
work on another project. She
is meeting with representa-
tives of organizations like
the Institute of international
Education, the Experiment
in International Living and
the Washington Internation-
al Center in the hope Of set
ting up some sort of inter-
organizational liaison so they
can coordinate their efforts
and improve their services to
foreign visitors.
She also has plans to ex-
pand the Directory to make
1t of more value to the for
eign students themselves by
adding a complete list Of
other services available to
them in the capital.
Right now there are more
than 1000 foreign students
enrolled in Washington area
universities and another
5000 visitors passing through
every year. The number is
growing all the time.
The Foreign Student Serv-
ice Council with which Mrs.
Roberts works is a private
-denominational group

time staffers and the part
time services of $50 volun-
teers.
