Christmas Is Different For International Club
By Roy Miller
Patsy Burling, Stockholm, Sweden, special student, considers last Christmas Eve "quite a change from any Christmas Eve I've ever spent."
Miss Burling has good reason for such a statement. She was one of a group of KU students who went swimming outdoors on Christmas Eve.
THE OUTDOOR DIP was one of many activities experienced by 49 members of the KU International Club who toured Mexico during Christmas vacation.
The club members left Lawrence Dec. 19 in a chartered bus, a motor car, and a scheduled bus. In Mexico, the students spent three days in San Miguel, four days in Mexico City, and two days in Acapulco and Oaxaca.
THE STAY IN Mexico City was a highlight for most of the Jayhawker travelers. "Mexicans are fantastic drivers," said Brian Cleave, Sussex, England, graduate student. "Mexico City is worse than New York."
The KU students also spent New Year's Eve in an unusual way—in a bus. Miss Burling said she enjoyed hearing "all those nationalities singing."
Cleave said he liked the buildings and cultural activities in Mexico City. The Mexican capital is more European than any American city, he said.
Claus Buechmann, assistant instructor in western civilization and co-organizer of the trip, liked the weather the most. Buechmann, who was on his second visit to Mexico, said it was 83 degrees at 10 one night in Acapulco.
P-T-P Plans Visit To State Buildings
Members of People-To-People will take a state industrial tour to Topeka Jan. 31. They will visit the State Capitol and the Kansas State Historical Society.
Students will leave the Kansas Union at 9:30 a.m. and return at 4:30 p.m. Any foreign student interested in going should sign the sheet on the door of the People-To-People office.
FRIEDERIKE WOROUNIG. Klagenfurt, Austria, graduate student, had a new experience during the tour—she was serenaded through a bus window.
Cafe menus printed only in Spanish caused an embarrassing incident for one international Jayhawker.
for one international Jayhawker.
The menu said "friijoles fritas" and he thought it meant French fried potatoes.
HE DISCOVERED that "frijoles fritas" are not French fried potatoes, but a bean dish.
Wolfgang Keim, Hamburg, Germany, graduate student, said he was fascinated by the Mexican bargaining.
He also voiced a complaint: "The way the weather was, it just didn't seem like Christmas."
One thing the 49 International Club members learned from their trip is the fact that it's a small world. The Jayhawkers saw Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe in a San Miguel church on Christmas Eve.

The kazoo is employed frequently in "Philip von Macedon," and although music critics are hesitant this is to me a major breakthrough in the arts. — I. Stadam

SMITH'S LAUNDROMAT
6th & Arkansas
Average length of time is 32 seconds. But this varies greatly depending on the ability of the driver. Some people can execute the maneuver in less than seven seconds while others make repeated attempts, taking as long as 100 seconds.
BERKELEY, Calif — (UPI) How long does it take you to maneuver your car into a parallel parking space?
These findings were reported by Bryan K. Johnston, graduate student in transportation engineering at the University of California. He made a study of the respective merits of parallel and angle parking.
Johnston found that a street with parallel parking can handle up to two more lanes of traffic than it can with angle parking.
But angle parking has the advantage of accommodating more cars per unit of curb space—up to two and a half times as many, depending on the angle at which they are parked.
