Veteran opportunities
Exchange homes needed
The American Scandinavian Student Exchange
(ASSE, Int’l) program is in need of host families for
European exchange students due to arrive in August.
The students, many of which are Catholic, are ac-
tive, outgoing and sure to be a happy addition to any
family.
The students dream of spending an academic year
living and learning a culture foreign to them. Under
the ASSE program they will be covered by their own
Insurance program and will need only room, board
and loving family care during their stay in the U.S.
“Any family is eligible to host regardless of age or
the number of children in the family,” said Texas
Coordinator Toby Hall. “The family should be able
to provide support, guidance and flexibility in deal-
ing with a ‘foreign’ member of the family.”
The ASSE is a non-profit organization, drawing
exchange students from Norway, Finland, Sweden,
Germany, England, Spain, Australia, New Zealand,
Italy and Japan. The students are carefully screened
for maturity and adaptability to learn a new' culture,
Families interested in more information on hosting
a European student may contact; 1-800-333-3802 or

CUA thanks diocese for gift
In a letter to Bishop Rene H. Gracida, The
Catholic University of America President Jesuit
Father William J. Byron, thanked the Diocese of
Corpus Christi for its contribution of $14,178.73 to
the annual diocesan collection.
“This collection would not succeed were it not for
your support and the cooperation of the priests of the
Diocese of Corpus Christi,” Father Byron said.
More than 100 years ago, Pope Leo XIII, in
response to a petition from the bishops of the United
States, granted a Papal charter to establish CUA,
Two weeks later, a similar charter was given to the
University by Congress to grant civil degrees.
