“I’ll bet it’ll even be used for outdoor classes when the weather gets warmer,” he smiled.
Low-level lighting for night use is the only facility yet to be installed in the new retreat, so temporary lights will be used until the park-type lights arrive in early May.
For these first few weeks of use, students also will have to “keep off the grass,” at least until some grass grows in.
One corner of the park area has been raised to surround the open pit fire with comfortable, informal seating for student groups. Each swivel barbeque

America’s farm surplus is not a problem but an opportunity for the nation to feed the world’s hungry millions, James Symington, deputy director of the Food for Peace Program, said last Friday.
Speaking at an informal gathering of student leaders at the commons lounge, Symington, the son of U.S. Senator Stuart Symington, traced the development of American relief programs and reviewed the significance of food relief.
“The Food for Peace program is not just a gimmick or a slogan, but an American idea that dates back to Herbert Hoover’s administration,” he explained.
“Food relief dates back to the 1920s when tons of wheat and com were shipped to Belgium, then under siege by the Germans.
“Food relief today is sent free to any country that might be struck by disaster,” he said. “But usually, recipient countries pay for the food in their own currency.
“This enables countries with low dollar reserves to purchase our food surplus,” he explained.
“But eventually, 80 per cent of what is paid for is pumped right back to the country’s economy in the form of other loans.”
Symington explained that sending food abroad, while helping to diminish the nation’s farm surplus, actually costs more, considering that shipping rates are higher than storage costs.
‘This program isn’t supposed to help the American farmer,’* he said. “Rather, it involves our conscience, knowing that over half the peoples of the world are hungry.”
