Foreign Students Gain Education, Not Always Degree

Half of the 813 foreign students, of which 147 are graduate students, will leave before earning a degree, according to Clark Coan. The other half will leave before earning a degree.
"Reasons for leaving are hard to tell," Coan said, "but the main reasons are probably financial."
More than half of the foreign students on campus provide their own funds. In case of financial problems, they can be school or go home. Coa said.
"The admission team at KU do a good job in deciding whether to deport him or himself while studying," Coan said, "but nobody knows what is going to happen." The country, maybe a government overthrow or an war, that could have been the reason he himself was here.

A student from Iraq, Hanan Akaiyu, agreed that in her center she was able to be dependent, but she said she prefers this system to one allowing more independence and greater medical chemistry this semester.
Ursula Kniech, Germany special student first had difficulty with this system. In Germany, students study four years, then take the state exam that covers covered in those years
"Teachers here are less authoritarian. Their approach in teaching is different from that of
Germany," she said. "You have more discussions, although they sometimes just cover the surface."
When asked whether he thought his study at KU had been valuable, Darlan said only the graduate study was worth while.
Haskell-KU Task Forces Want KU Indian Studies
"If it was possible to reduce the number of books and go the same speed discussions, it could work better."
"I could use only 20 per cent of my undergraduate studies. The rest is lost in a lot of time before I realized that you have to go independently for coursework and/or for useful courses, not just merely to follow your in-

Darlan has been accepted in the institute of Diplomacy in France on a UNESCO scholarship next fall.
The two task forces of the KU-13 committee are interested in organizing and coordinating their efforts with members with the situation at hand, according to Bennie Smith, acting chairman of one of the groups.
Smith's task force is concerned with working out problems involved in the transfer of credits from the University of Kansas to the Indian Junior College and the University of Kansas. His group has not met yet to formulate any definite plans. A permanent meeting tonight he said Monday.
The Inter-Institutional Committee was recently formed of the university administration and administration representatives in connection with fundraisers on Indian
education.
The ultimate goal of the committee, according to Tom Beaver, co-coordinating of the program of Indian studies at KI.
ACCORDING TO BEAVER, his task force is working on problems that will be faced in getting the classes started. The group will survey department heads and chairmen to find out what issues are affected in the area of Indian studies, he said Sunday.
Beaver said that getting teachers for the new courses would not be a problem. The problem was that he wanted to be the instructor for the instructors who would be teaching both at Haskell and KU. Right now, Beaver said, it looks like a "trade out" could be arranged. In this situation, he would have to teach both as a Haskell instructor would teach as many hours at KU as his
counterpart from KU would teach at Haskell.
THE PROPOSAL will go before the Council of Presidents this month.
ALTHOUGH KNICHEL will receive no credit for the year she has spent here, she gained better understanding of American literature and improved her English language, she said.

Bond said normally about 300 students enrolled each month, but the number increased during the summer when many students enrolled in courses they were getting during regular enrollment.
"Summer is our busiest time." Bond said. "Students working at full-time jobs can complete courses at the same time."
That's why we suggest

She said students were given a year to complete the courses and work on her dissertation of 30 hours credit through independent study can apply.
IN MANY CASES the more than 180 courses are written by faculty members, a member of the faculty who specializes in a course's particular area. Nettie per cent of the faculty are regular KU faculty members.
Courses include languages,
education, social sciences,
mathematics, natural sciences,
art and physical education.
Besides the printed medium, some courses have audio-video materials, records, films, film strips, telephone movies. The center also offers video courses for video tape courses for courses on campus or for Kansas junior colleges.
A COURSE INCLUDES a class on the study guidelines. Texts are supplied by the student. When an assignment is completed, the instructor he grades it and returns it by mail. A final exam is taken at a designated location.

points transferred equally to other universities. At KU in the Schools of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Business, no more than one grade point for each hour of independent study credit required, with minimum grade point requirements for graduation.
"This is a non-profit operation. We pay out more to have courses graded than comes in through fees," Bond said.
The cost for college courses is $12 per semester hour for college students and $10 per semester hour for non-residents. In addition to courses for college students, there are special students and non-credit courses. The non-credit offerings include credit utilization and manuscript reading.

Sierra said his degree would be valuable in Honduras. He will return to teach at the University of Honduras.
In Honduras, the university does not offer a master's degree in electrical engineering, so students must go abroad. According to Stuart, students, go to United States, Germany and Spain.
Social life and student activities are often quite different from the lives of students in India. Sobid said that one striking difference in India is that students in India work longer.
"ACADEMIC AND social life here do not have anything in common," Darlan said, "In order to get involved academically oriented. We have seminars and discussions on academic matters."
The students interviewed agreed that students in their home universities were more concerned about politics than KU
"They are also more politically aware," Sierra said. "Because our society is unhappy with the situation, it is a lot of corruption to corrupte."
Alkaysi said that the instability of Iraq makes students more involved in politics.
Most of the foreign students graduating from here do not have to worry about employment. The foreign students work jobs with their government or a university. Some have degrees for doctoral degrees
All those interviewed agreed that getting an international education will place them well with students in their native countries.
