NEW FACES ...
Welcome to Carol Zalas,
Buyer-Purchasing.
ARE
YOU BILINGUAL? Saint Mary's College is
preparing to compile a linguistic-ethnic directory
which will list, according to the languages involved,
those residents who can use in some way or other­
and to any degree - those languages. The directory
should provide a valuable service to any private or
public institution or citizen in need of an interpreter,
translator, or an ethnic-cultural informant.
Within the next week or two, our International Ad­
ministrator John Stewart will contact each depart­
ment for the info needed to have our employees (who
would like to be listed) participate in this project.
