They sat crowded together on the floor of the Joseph R. Pearson Hall lounge Tuesday night, singing American songs as if they were American campers gathered around the campfire.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skys are gray."
The words of the song were reflected in their smiles and laughter.
"Here, let me," a student said, taking the guitar away from a faltering player. The music changed abruptly from American to Spanish.
"Fantastic!"
An oriental student slid onto the piano bench and picked up the accompaniment with the ease of a professional.
"A little higher, please," yelled a voice from across the room.
A tall, bearded student suddenly ran out of the room and returned with a metal bowl. Much to the delight of his fellow students, he turned the bowl upside down and began beating on it rhythmically with his hands.
The pianist changed key. Many clapped enthusiastically in time to the music.
The excitement grew as the tempo increased. Unable to sit still any longer, one man began dancing.
The common stereotype of the serious-minded Futurist scholar rapidly disintegrated before that scene of spontaneous enthusiasm. The friendly atmosphere of the crowd was enough to lift the spirits of even the loneliest of men.
These graduate students and Fulbright scholars have come to the University of Kansas for six weeks to learn about American life and improve their communication skills in English. They are participating in the 24th session of the Orientation for Foreign Students and Scholars at KU. Many of the students said they were very eager to meet

"We are here to speak to Americans," another man said. "Therefore, it would be of great interest to us to meet."
"People are very friendly and open-minded in America."
It was a frightening experience to get off an airplane in America for the first time, according to several students. "I was alone, completely," said one student. "I couldn't speak with anyone."
Many of the students said they were very eager to meet American students and ask them questions.
However, things began improving for the students, who are living in JKF, when they became acquainted with one another.
"This is fantastic because we're so many people come together," said a woman from Denmark. "We've got aween a lot of them."
The 75 Fulbright scholars and graduate students represent about 36 countries. Their reactions to KU and the U.S. are noteworthy.

Kalmbach Testimony Heard
WASHINGTON (AP)—Herbert W. Kalmbach, President Nixon's former personal lawyer, gave the House impeachment committee details yesterday of his role in a $2-million dairy campaign pledge and in arranging of ambassadororships but didn't directly implicate President Nixon in either members said.
Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, D-N.Y., contended that the testimony by the jailed Kalmibach might support a bribery charge by tying some of Nixon's former closest allies to the company's producers' campground pledge and Nikon's 187 decision to boil milk price supports.
"We're beginning to establish a case of briberv. " Holtzman said.
But other members, including fellow
Kalmbach's testimony on promising ambassadorships to two Nixon campaign contributors was described by one of Nixon's supporters on the committee, Rep. Lawrence J. Hogan, R-Md., as "some of the most damaged stuff I've heard."

Democrat Charles B. Rangel of New York, said there was no case of bribery against the President because Kalmbach hadn't directly implicated him.
Many departments are finding that they have to create new programs and classes in order to increase enrollment. At times they mobilize courses or change requirements.

Creating New Programs to Increase Enrollments
By KATHLEEN PICKETT Kansan Staff Reporter
departments lower their standards, scholarship diminishes.
The college has money taken away from it whenever more is given to a professional school. Because of an increased student interest in the professional schools, the college has been losing enrollment and funds.
Gerhard Zuther, professor and scheduling officer of English, said that the reason for loss of interest in the college was that students could find more jobs through schools. The saturation of the teacher market scared many students away, he said.
"We can't plead our case directly to the vice chancellor," he said.
He said the dean had to consider the efficiency and viability of each program in the school. Even if a program is inefficient, it can't be suddenly phased out.
that all 17 Republicans would vote against impeachment.
On the milk money, Rep. Henry P. Smith, R-N.Y., said Kaimbach testified he had carried a reaffirmation of the $2 million dairy pledge back to Ehrlichman the day Nixon's milk price support decision was announced.
Charles Sidman, chairman of the department of history, said the system of fund distribution that the Board of Regents must feel is the feeling that programs must be changed.
"We could play it dishonestly, but we don't," Sidman said.
American Milk Producers Institute, told Kalambach at a hotel room meeting the night of March 24, 1971, to tell Ehrlichman the $2 million bill was reaffirming the $2 million pledge.
Because enrollment is counted in the fall, Sidman said, departments might be temp-ted to offer more popular classes then. He said he was opposed to such a practice.
THEREFORE, Sidman said, even though the large programs didn't get funds in proportion to enrollment, they had to keep costs low so that support smaller, less efficient programs.
Sidman said that although history enrolments all over the country were going down, the washes was going up here. The water is being maintained maintaining its integrity at the same time.
The Greek government has denied any role in the coup but has kept its armed forces on full alert since early Monday and reportedly is poised to attack across the Greek-Turkish frontier if the Turks make any move toward Cyprus.
Sidman said a large program in the college had special difficulties because of his background.
Smith said Kalmbach had testified that Harold S. Nelson, a strategist for the
President Pixon has denied that the $2 million pledge influenced his decision to raise milk price supports, although he said he knew about the pledge at the time.
"They tried to kill me by attacking the presidential palace with mortars and other weapons."
Makarios Says Junta Will Meet Resistance
THE ARCHIBISHOP on arrival at Lynham airport near London that the coup against him had been organized by the Greek military regime in Athens.
Britain and Turkey are coguarantons with Greece of treaties establishing the independence of Cyprus, a British crown colony until 14 years ago. The agreements forbid either union of the island with Greece or its partition.
Greek demonstrators cheered as Makarios said, from his hotel window in London, "I hope the day will soon come when the people of Greece will themselves get rid of the hated dictatorship oppressing them."
"The unfair system of allocating funds puts a borship on all the teaching units," she wrote.
He said the history department was treating many things to keep enrollment up.
Reports from Turkey said Ecavit had ordered 90,000 troops to the Mediterranean shore close to Cyprus before leaving for London.
The military officers who overthrew Makarios are thought to be committed to union with Greece, which Turkey firmly opposes.
The history department is also teaching more classes at night. Sidman said professors were trying to use the different media more, especially films. He said they were also trying to have more guest lecturers in class.
"We're having a lot of fun," he said.
KALMBACH is serving a 5- to 18-month jail sentence for violating campaign fundraising laws and offering ambassadorships for contributions to the Nixon campaign.
Official sources reported that the United states didn't attempt to recognize the new government.
Judiciary Committee members did agree that Malchamb had testified that Nixon's former top aides, H. R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, were involved in raising campaign money from milk producers before Nixon's milk price improved decision.
The history department has kept basic courses but teaches fewer of them. The department is teaching more general interest topical courses, he said.
Some members said they had heard nothing new from Kalmbach, and Rep. Charles W. Sandman Jr., R.N.J., told me in there you wouldn't write a thing".

Turkish Prime Minister Belen Ceveit also arrived in London yesterday for urgent consultations with Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Were he to visit Sarios he had no plans to meet Ceveit.
Kalmbach was the committee's last scheduled witness before the panel begins debating proposed articles of impachment. The date is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.
At least four Republicans said they were still undecided about which way to vote. Another Republican, Rep. Robert P. McCullery, R-Ill., said he was disturbed at what President Obama said of him as President's nose." But Rep. Charles E. Wiggs, R-Ill., repeated his prediction
THE MAKARIOS GOVERNMENT was toppled Monday by a rebellion of the 10,000-man Cyprus national guard, the national seal on an emerald ocean island, which is led by Greek officers.
Archibishop Makarios charged yesterday that the "abominable junta" in Greece engineered his ouster as president of Cyprus and vowed that Cypriots would resist until the Athens military government was overthrown.

Ecevit also blamed the Greek government for the coup against Makarios but said he was after a peaceful conclusion to the coup.

Judiciary Committee Heads for Final Vote
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House Judiciary Committee is holding to a schedule for its impeachment inquiry that begins on Friday in committee between July 26 and July 30.
The schedule then calls for 100 hours of debate and voting on the house floor, starting on Aug. 12. House action is expected to be completed by Aug. 23.
Today and tomorrow the committee will meet behind closed doors for briefing sessions. At least six articles of impachment against President Nixon are reported to be ready for presentation at those sessions.
Chairman Peter Rodino, D-N.J., is aiming at the earlier date, which is a week from this Friday, but other members say the later one is more likely.
The Judiciary Committee heard its last scheduled witness yesterday.
Committee deliberations on articles of impeachment prepared by the staff will be discussed in the next meeting.
Senate Democrat Leader Mike Manske, D-Mont., has talked in terms of a two-week trial, if the house votes to impeach the President. Sessions would be held six days a week.
coverage of committee meetings. However, Rodino said he would ask the House to vote to change the rule so that impeachment debate could be televised.
If the committee recommends impeachment and the House votes for it, the Senate would be notified officially and would arrange for the trial.
One decision that would have to be made would be whether to halt the proceedings to possibly move forward.
Other decisions that would have to be made would include whether to set up a committee to collect additional evidence, whether to permit television coverage and what powers would be granted Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, who would preside.
These sessions will be open to the press and public. House rules prohibit television
Biking Vital in KU Janitor's Life

Kansan Staff Reporter
The Gray Ghost of the West Coast is Ben A curtis, a $3-year-old janket at Jantz in Chicago.
Curtit said recently he was given the name, "the Gray Ghost of the West Coast," by Washington State police, who paid him to lead cars, while riding a bicycle, through the fog during stormy weather in the 1930s. He said they gave him that name because those cars could see only the silver panels on his porch, two red eyes and a big smile.
Curtit was born and raised in the state of Washington. When he was 15 of 16 years old, his lungs were severely burned by smoke from a grass fire, he said.
Janitor Ben Curtit Takes His Coffee Break
His doctor told him he would live only three months unless he immediately started exercising his lungs by riding a bike, but they weren't until I bought a bike. It was a junkyard special, he said.

Later, Curtif saved enough money to buy Hawkbrone Flyer and have a bike, which he would love.
He said bike riding saved his life. Even today, Curtit's lungs have enough scar tissue to make x-rays read as if he has tuberculosis.
When he started up the west coast, Coritt, his bike, trailer and supplies weighed 120 pounds.
He picked up bottles along the roadside and collected the deposit for extra change. During the 1930s the bottles were worth about a half a penny each, he said.
While he was on the road, he ran into a fog and had to wear motorcycle glasses and the
silver rubberized pancho that gave him his strange appearance.
A state policeman at Chelsah, Wash,

Curtit said he arrived in Seattle just in
While on a long bike trip to Glade Park, Ore., by way of Sun Valley, ida., he led a string of five transport trucks through a snow storm to a truck stoo.
He said that when they reached the truck stop, the women who ran the stop told him he could not enter because bums were not writhing. He said he was bumbed, but a bum bore because he earned his way.
Curit said she failed to recognize any difference and was in the process of throwing him out of the restaurant when the five truck drivers came to his rescue.
The police in small towns often did not appreciate, his presence, he. Within a few weeks, policemen in different towns gave him tickets for speeding, going too fast on the road, and managing the managed to successfully defend himself on all three charges in court, however.
Parklet said his next trip was from Glade Park to Denver. While he was in Denver, he dogged the field.
Curti said he rode his bike from Denver to Pueblo, Colo. His wife, who had Bright's disease, rode in the trailer. She died in a Pueblo hospital.
After her death, he set out on a trip from Pueblo to Oathe. Next he rode to Ottawa, where he suffered a nervous breakdown and spent the next 10 years in a hospital.
After he left the hospital, he rode to Lawrence and not a job at the University.
Three weeks ago he shipped his bicycle back to Greenville.
He has been saving his money and now has made a down payment on a home at 830 New York St., which he plans to move into next month.
"Thanks to these people at the University,
I had my down-payment all saved up," he said.
He now has a girl's bike that he rides to work, and he said he had put 1,300 miles on his bicycle.
Curtit said the first rule ever made concerning bicycles was that hard-surfaced roads were supposed to be for bikes. If a car had to go in, it would have to get off in the mud to let the bike pass.
"Don't try to expect it now," he said. Curtti all bicycles and even wheel chairs were classified as vehicles and had a right to the road.
