Wescoe Says Costa Rican Exchange Is a Big Success
By Jerry Musil
Four factors are essential for success of a faculty-student exchange program and the KU-University of Costa Rica program has all four.
Monday. October 30, 1961 University Daily Kansan
Chancellor W. Clarke Wesco made this statement before an overflow crowd at the Faculty Club last night.
HE SAID the four criteria are:
- Only senior faculty members proficient in the native language should be exchanged.
- Only students proficient in the native language should be exchanged.
- The students must enroll in regular university courses taught by local professors and not by American exchange professors.
- The students must live with native families, preferably with a family having a student enrolled at the university.
THE CHANCELLOR said only the KU-Costa Rican program has all four points and has had better success than the other three programs sponsored by the State Department..
He said the other programs sent graduate students who did not know the language and were not mature enough to handle the undergraduates they had to instruct.
THE OTHER THREE programs, he said, allowed the students to enroll in courses taught by the American exchange professors. The KU-Costa Rican program students are taught by Costa Rican professors.
ates they had to instruct. "Most of the students did not know the language and their year was wasted learning the language," Chancellor Wescoe said. "All KU students are proficient in the language."
Also the students from the other programs did not follow the Costa Rican academic year, but KU students follow the same schedule as Costa Rican students, he said. The Costa Rican school year is from March to November instead of September to June.

University, to co-operate with KU on an agricultural program for Costa Rica.
CHANCELLOR WESCOE said 55 KU faculty members have applied to teach in Costa Rica under the program. He added that the University is looking for funds to bring Costa Rican students here.
Chancellor Wescoe said all the aims of the program have been completed except one, which the University is trying to remedy. That is bringing Costa Rican students to KU to study.
"So far, we have had two cadres of KU students study in Costa Rica. The second group will be returning in about two weeks," he said.
HE SAID THERE IS always one senior KU professor in Costa Rica.
In answer to questions at the end of the talk, the Chancellor said no Costa Rican student has come to KU because of lack of funds.
"The cost to the students is too high," he said. "Our fees are higher, the cost of travel to the US and the cost of living while here make it difficult.
"THE KU STUDENTS have their travel paid by the State Department. The only cost to them is living expenses which is inexpensive."
Chancellor Wescoe gave three reasons for the choice of Costa Rica for the program:
- The late Rector of the University and Franklin D. Murphy were good friends.
- good friends
- Costa Rica is the most stable country in Latin America as far as politics and economy are concerned.
- The University is better developed than others in Latin America.
  "No one who has been to Costa Rica can fail to see that progress has been made," he said.
"THE COSTA RICAN sees Kansas as a second home," he said. "They now think of the US as Kansas with a little territory around it. And KU is in the middle of it."
