By KRISTINA ZURCHER News Writer

The U.S. Embassy in Manila has repeatedly denied a 15-year-old Filipino girl access to a student visa because she is poor, according to Commander Vincent Converse, a 1976 Notre Dame alumnus. Jenalee Aimes received a full scholarship to St. Gregory’s Preparatory School in Arizona and intended to come to the U.S. in August. She had planned to apply to Notre Dame for further study in the area of computer science. However, the U.S. Embassy refused her request for a student visa, Converse said. Many poor foreign students remain in the U.S. after their instruction because the opportunities are greater here than in their own countries. The embassies assume that most poor students will stay in the U.S. instead of returning to their homes and thus deny their visa requests. W o rkin ’... in a van dow n “The situation is a catch-22. If you’re a poor student overseas, you have to stay that way because there are no opportunities available to you,” said Converse, who is trying to help by the Joyce C enter Aimes.

According to Converse, he and his wife “adopted” several Filipino families, on-site college football including the Aimes family.

For all practical purposes, this is Notre Dame football game at Stanford, Live,” “Mad TV” and “In Living Color” true. But let’s take a closer look.

Isn’t it the one goal of life to say you actually lived and made more sensitive time in our society. the most of your time here? John Denver reached this goal in his life — as Some in this country, including Irish he said, who he is is in his songs. I am the type of person who tends to ask Catholics and fundamentalist Christians, why on Earth anyone would want to be so vulnerable?
