By STL'ART ZANVILLE Assistant Editorial Director
More than 1.500 foreign guests will have their trips to Los Angeles planned and coordinated by USC this year as the Center for International Visitors begins its 10th year of operation.

Important visitors travelled from nearly every country in the world this year and represented many vocational fields including education, journalism, agriculture and government.
Reception Provided “The main purpose of the center is to provide a Los Angeles reception for the many distinguished foreign guests that visit our city each year." Ron Olmsted, executive director of the center, said-
“We must do everything, from meeting them at the airport to supplying lodging and arranging tours of the various parts of the city that might interest a visitor.” The center was created in 1956 at the bequest of the State Department. USC was selected to be the site for the center and to administer the funds for it.
A volunteer staff of more than 600 people are now connected with the center and work as “greeters,'’ among other things.
Visiting Increases The number of visitors coming through the center each year has continually in
