KU Works at Exchange Program
KU is gradually working toward a large-scale foreign exchange program which proposes that one-half of each year's junior class study abroad.
Under the plan, proposed in 1960 and still many years away from realization, an equal number of foreign students would study here each year.
The plan is the result of a study requested by former Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy. Its broad aim, according to the Special Committee on University and World Affairs, is to create an "educational system that considers the world its classroom."
FRANCIS HELLER, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the chairman of the committee, said that the plan today can only be regarded as "an ideal to which we can aspire."
But he listed several steps taken by KU toward this long-range goal.
- Information concerning study abroad has been made available to KU students.
- The College Committee on Foreign Students and Foreign Study has prepared a partial guide to study abroad.
- A Language Institute, under which 65 selected KU students took summer courses in Spain, France and Germany, was initiated by the University last year.
- The KU-University of Costa Rica exchange plan now entering its third year, continues to be successful.
- More than 300 foreign students are attending KU this year.
"I think it is quite clear that interest here in undergraduate study abroad has been quite stimulated by the information given to KU students," he said.
HE ADDED, HOWEVER, that the present number of KU students studying abroad was substantially
less than the annual number of about 700 envisioned by the plan.

The 300 foreign students studying here represents about one-half of the total number foreseen in the plan, he said.

Dean Heller emphasized that the two present KU exchange programs—the KU-University of Costa Rica exchange and the KU Summer Language Institute—both represent significant steps toward the long-range goal set for the proposed exchange program.
Under the Costa Rican program, KU faculty members and junior students exchange places with their University of Costa Rica counterparts.
are selected each year to study in Spain, France and Germany during the summer. While abroad, they tour the respective countries and view various cultural events, including theater productions and sports events.

"Each American student group should be accompanied by at least as many faculty members as (KU) would feel necessary to add to the staff if enrollment should increase by an equal number," the report states.
In addition to the large-scale exchange of students, the proposed plan also calls for a faculty exchange between KU and the foreign institutions involved.
Under the program, KU faculty members going abroad would teach the same subjects they teach here.
