Club to Request Anderson Visit
Governor John Anderson may visit the campus soon to give foreign students some first-hand information about Kansas government.
Mohamed Affy, Cairo, Egypt graduate student and newly-elected president of International Club, says he plans to invite the Governor to speak to the club at some future date.
Aflify said that foreign students should have the opportunity to know the governor of the state in which they are studying and to learn about the government and history of Kansas.

AFIFY DEFINED the Club as a kind of educational, cultural and social meeting place for foreign and American students.
"It is a great mistake for foreign students to leave here without knowing Americans," he said.
"Some people think this is just club for foreigners. Some foreign students seldom mix with other nationalities. The Chinese students do not even come," he said. Affify plans to encourage more active participation of the 67 countries represented on campus in International Club when he takes office next semester.
"ABOUT FOUR countries will take over each meeting. They will speak about their country and demonstrate their native dress, dances and music," he said. "We're planning to have square and group dances to make the person who is shy or doesn't like to twist join the group."
Affify said he hopes to work closely with People-to-People to obtain better understanding between Americans and foreign students.
"The reason many P-t-P projects have failed is that they (P-t-P members) don't understand the foreign mind," he said. "Foreign students must be treated as individuals, rather than as a group. No two nationalities think alike."
AFIFY, WHO is studying political science, is an official in the Egyptian Ministry of Education.
He earned a B.S. in Engineering at Cairo University and a M.A. in education at Ein-Shams University in Cairo. Before coming to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia to earn a M.A. degree in guidance counseling and a doctorate in education, Affy taught psychology in the Far East.
Other officers elected Friday night are Magaret Cameron, Scottish
graduate student, vice-president;
Joan Snyder, Bethesda, Md, senior,
secretary; Milan Lopel, Czechoslovakian graduate student, treasurer; and David Roberts, (not a student) social chairman.

A board chairman talks about tomorrow's executives...
The Bell System has always sought men who could keep telephone service constantly improving. Men with exceptional engineering talent, men with equally outstanding managerial potential. Such men are widely sought on college campuses across the United States. And with the future of communications unfolding so rapidly, the search has intensified.
"...We took the records of 17,000 college men in the business who could fairly be compared with each other, and, examining their records, sought the answer to the question: 'To what extent does success in college predict success in the Bell System?' ...
But still there is the old question to be answered, "What kind of man handles a business challenge best?" A midwestern college audience recently heard these comments in a talk by A.T.&T.Board Chairman Frederick R.Kappel.
"...The results...
"...The single most reliable predictive indicator of a college graduate's success in the Bell System is his rank in his graduating class.
"A far greater proportion of high-ranking than low-ranking students have qualified for the large responsibilities... While a relationship does exist between college quality and salary, rank in class is more significant..
"... What about extracurricular achievement? ... Men who were campus leaders reached our top salary third in slightly greater proportion than those who were not. But it is only real campus achievement that seems to have any significance. Mere participation in extracurricular goings-on does not...
"... What we have here, as I said before, are some hints rather strong hints--about where to spend the most time looking for the men we do want, the men with intelligence plus those other attributes that give you the feel, the sense, the reasonable confidence that they will make things move and move well...They want to excel and they are determined to work at it...
"...Business should aspire to greatness, and search diligently for men who will make and keep it great..."
