Bear Facts VOL. XXIV No. 9 • THE NEWSLETTER OF OCEANIDS • dUNE 1986

REMINDER TWO TUTOR ROOMS NAMED Alma Coles, President of the Friends of the International Center, has announced that two of the three new tutor rooms in the International Center addition will be named in recognition of gifts of $10,000 presented to th.e building fund drive. The Shao-Chi and Lily Lin Tutor Room The first gift of $10,000 was contributed by Lily and Shao-Chi Lin, another accomplish­ ment for Lily in her long years of dedicated service to UCSD. Shao-Chi and Lily came to UCSD in 1964, when Dr. Lin joined the Depart­ ment of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences as Professor of Engineering Physics. Lily soon became actively involved as a Friend of the developing university. Lily was a charter member of the UCSD Medical Center Auxiliary when it was organ­ ized in 1967, and by 1977 she had already given over 1,000 volunteer hours of service at University Hospital. She has also served in the Gift Shop and "The Corner" Thrift Shop, worked to refurbish the Meditation Room, and has been involved in .. Environmental Uplift." A Life Member of Oceanids, she has served on the Board in various capacities. Lily has been actively involved with the Friends of the International Center since the founding of the organization, and has been a key member in the development of the variety of services offered by the Friends. She holds Life Membership Number 2, was the first Treas­ urer, and with Luna Fong, chaired the very first ethnic dinner at the Center. She has given Chinese cooking iessons and has been in charge of Buildings and Grounds. She was also First Vice President in 1983. In 1984 she made the first contribution to the build­ ing fund for the enlargement of the Center, which launched the campaign leading to the current addition to the building. She is now a regular volunteer at the Resale Shop. As a modern-day superwoman, Lily is very much involved with her family both here and ~~ ~MAYCD. ~~ abroad, spends several days a week at her travel agency, and fulfills her volunteer ~ 11:15 - 1;;,:oc. activities with dedication. lcontinued on p. 4) PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
