Study Abroad copes with inflation
By DOMINIC D'ASCOLI
Summer vacation is generally thought to be a time for fun and games. Few students, however, would agree that it's also a culturally stimulating experience.
But the University of Kansas Summer Study Abroad Program gives students an opportunity to combine all three in one summer

Spain, Mexico, England, Russia-Yugoslavia.
Anita Herzfeld, program adviser, said yesterday. "The program is open to everyone regardless if they are language majors or not. However, you must meet the basic academic requirements of the specific program you choose."
Herzfeld said that a student didn't need to have an extremely high grade point average to be accepted into the program. The program was also open to high school students.
FACULTY DIRECTORS of the various programs said that inflation would be a problem facing the programs in the near future.
Present program costs are: England,
$1,358; France, $1,325; Germany, $1,325;
Mexico (depends on the students' needs);
Canada, Russia, $2,150; Yugoslavia,
$700.
Henry Snyder, director of the summer program in England and professor of history, said that his program had been an "outstanding success."
Snyder said more than 100 students had visited England since the program started in 1978.
He said that the absence of a language problem helped to give the program a
"It's a culturally-oriented program," Snyder说. "We use the country as our laboratory and so students really get a good understanding of the country."
SNYDER ALSO said that inflation hadn't presented much of a problem.
"We've been reasonably fortunate," he said, "because England is less expensive
than the Continent. We avoid agents and do not ship directly. This cut the overall program costs.
Robert Anderson, assistant professor of French and Italian, is co-director of the summer program in France. He said that a successful program was realized in the program over a 15-year period.
Anderson said, however, that the program had recently frightened the brent of instruction alternated every other day with traveling."
"The tourist part of the program has suffered," he said. "We used to be able to spend six weeks in Paris but now we can only spend one month."
But Anderson said that inflation hadn't affected the quality of the program's staff.
HE SAID that the program's future had been added for the new dimension had been added for the new dimension.
"We're spending two weeks in Morrine," be said, "using it as a home base from which to explore."
Anderson said that this plan would give students a much better idea of the way Pike can be navigated.
The German program, unlike the programs in France and England, is facing challenges.
"Inflation has caused us to cut back on our services," he said, "especially the cultural aspects. Now we channel most of our funds into travel."
Henry Fullenwider, director of the program and professor of German, said that inflation had a rather severe effect on the economy. "The cost bark has repaired, strength against the dollar."
FULLENWIDER SAID the program, which has operated for the past 15 years and been participated in by about 400 students, is going to encounter increasing problems.
"Student needs continue to rise but funds for the program have remained the same."
It's an advanced undergraduate and graduate program in which housing and recreation are offered.
The summer study program in Mexico is somewhat different from the others.
HE SAID the program has operated for 10 years with an average of 25 students a year.
Michael Doudroff, director of the program and professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said there were two reasons for running the program this way.
Douderoff also said that leaving travel plans up to the students, gave them a certain amount of control over the program's cost.
"But we are guardedly optimistic of the program's future," Doudoroff said. "We don't see any alarming trends other than that we expect the program to remain stable."
Merchants avoid 'buy-centennial'
By BECCI BREINING

A banner of stars and strips hangs overhead. The shelves hold just a few items embossed with the Liberty Bell, and there less than merchandise adorned with golden eagles.
Lawrence merchants appear to be avoiding the competition that has been built by other companies.
Many merchants said last week that although they aren't trying to be unpatriotic during the United States' 200th anniversary, they are still glitting their stores with biotecnological goods.
"BEN FRANKLIN is probably the most logical retailer of bicentennial goods," Dale Keeney, owner of the BEN Franklin Store, said. "I'm always happy to share My personal feeling all along has been that
Kearney said that a very large amount of bicentennial merchandise was available from wholesalers, but that his store contained "not nearly as much as they offer."
"That's one place that seems like it just couldn't go hand-in-hand with the laczen-

uic benicential would be completely over-
commercialized."
Kearney said he feared that Larence merchants would be criticized for either offering too much or too little bicentennial merchandise.
White award to Lisagor
Peter Lissager, Washington correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, has been selected by the William Allen White Association as National Award for Journalistic Merit.
NEVERTHELESS, some people are buying merchandise commemorating our 2015 anniversary.
Charles Fellenstein, manager of F.W. Woolworth Co., said he thought that as the Fourth of July approached, some bicentennial items would be very popular.
"Anything that will sell well will be in a limited edition," he said. "People will probably be selective, they'll buy like it happens as apples, not just because it's the bicentennial."
Del Brinkman, director of the foundation and dean of the School of Journalism, said Mr. Brinkman's experience has made him a leader in journalism.
Lisager, 60, is the 27th recipient of the award, given annually to an American journalist 'who exemplifies William Allen in a service to his profession and to his country.'
Rob Miller, president of the Downtown Lawrence Association and owner of Miller Furniture, said, "Endless promotions of various bicentennial products will run their course and eventually wear everybody out. It's sad that it has to be that way."
Fellenstein said glassware, particularlyates and canning jars, were popularcookware.
he is a talented writer and observer, a well-
read man whose literate instincts are mixed
freely with the practicalities of Washington
and national life."
William, Allen White, for whom the foundation is named, was the Pulitzer Prize-winning publisher and editor of the Gazzette Magazine during the early 1900s.
THE AWARD ceremony, usually held in the spring, will be postponed until the fall because Lisagor is ill and unable to come to Lawrence until October. Rikman said he works daily. News for more than 30 years, has been chief of the Washington bureau since 1958. Before that, he was a United Nations correspondent and a police specialist in the Washington bureau.
he said, "We celebrated our 199th birthday and we're tired."
MARK SHELDON, owner of Primarily Leather, agreed with Miller.
"H'IS NOT our fault, he said. "Everything on the wholesale market is geared to the bicentennial, and it's difficult to avoid it. The people are wrong in not trying to promote it more."
Lisagan has had a variety of foreign assignments, including coverage of the evacuation of the British from the Suez in 1954, the aftermath of the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 and the Suez War in 1966. He has accompanied every U.S. president on major trips since 1969, including Vice President Richard Nikon's famous kitchen tour to Kiev in 1982 and President Dwight Eisenhower's tour to the Dow East in 1960 and President John Kennedy's trip to Dallas in 1963, when he was assassinated.
*Television Program, "Washington Week in Review," and a frequent participant on other televised talk shows such as "Meet the Press" and "Face the Nation."
"At times I think the bicentennial commercialism is overwhelming," he said.
Lisgar has served as past president of the State Department Correspondents' Association, the Overseas Writers White House Conference and as a member of the National Press Club.
HE COVERED the Vietnam war for periods in 1964 and 1967 and reported on special assignments in India, Japan, Russia and the Middle East.
A shop store salesman, who asked not to be identified, said he avoided promoting the item.
Liaison has covered all U.S. national conventions and presidential campaigns
LISAGOR HAS been the recipient of numerous awards, including the American Newspaper Guild's Page One award in 1948, 1949 and 1972. In 1974 he received the Marshall Field Award and the Hansen Awards, and in 1975 he received the Harris Foundation and Marshall Field awards.
He is a regular panelist on the Public
Otis Chandler received last year's award. Chandler is publisher of the Los Angeles Times and vice president of the Times Mirror Co.
Lisapor is a graduate of the University of Michigan and was a Nieman fellow at Harvard.
At least one merchant, a discount manager who wished to remain unidentified, was placed on hold.
"We're one step ahead of the bicentennial—we wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole," he said. "Hopefully we'll avoid the bicentennial like the plague."
"It dresses up the merchandise," he said.
"Besides, it's patriotism, and, if it gets people thinking more about God, home and country, I'm all for it."
"The country jumped the gun last year."

Exigency...
Gold said, "What it may come down to is a document on which we can agree on one but one point. If that happens, the chancellor will announce it to Senate to say he cannot accept the policy."
From page one
GOLD SAID the financial exigency policy was sent to the chancellor after approval by the University Senate last spring. He said he had anticipated quick approval because he had thought all differences between the university and the administration had been worked out.
enrollment projections predicted a large drop in enrollment by 1984. . .
Development of a financial exigency policy began in 1973, Gold said, when

Gold's committee began work on the financial exigency policy in September 1974. The committee combined two previous financial exigency reports, one made by a board member and another by an opposing independent faculty committee, to form the present document.
Deadline For Applications: April 5, 1976
"AT THE TIME I began this, the University of Kansas was one of the first universities to consider financial exigency and has now been delayed for three years."
