KU to mark 25th year of Costa Rican program
Costa Rica, the Latin American country that has sometimes been known as a haven for palm trees and rebels, will take on a different significance at the University of Kansas next week.
On Monday, the Center for Latin American Studies will begin celebrating the 25th anniversary of the student exchange program between the University of Costa Rica and KU.
Since 1960, between 25 and 30 students from Kansas have studied each year at the University of Costa Rica. And each year, the University of Costa Rica has sent about the same number of students to KU.
"It's been a great way for students to get a different exposure," said Charles Stansifer, director of the Center of Latin American Studies. "It's also given Kansas' students a good opportunity to work on Costa Rica's a good opportunity to work on their English."
RONALD STUBBS, SHAWNEE junior who was an exchange student in Costa Rica last spring, said the opportunity to live in a different country and the education were valuable experiences.
"I went down there mainly just to perfect my Spanish, but it turned out to be much more valuable than that,"
Stubbs said. "The landscape was beautiful, the women were beautiful and the weather was fantastic. I really had a great time there."
Robert Meade, cultural coordinator of Latin America for the U.S. Information Agency, plans to speak at 2:30 p.m. Monday in 103 Lippincott Hall. His speech will be "Cultural Competition in Central America: U.S. Government Exchange Initiatives."
Fernando Duran, chancellor of the University of Costa Rica, is scheduled to speak at 8 p.m. Monday in Alderson Auditorium in the Kauai campus of Kaunas University in Costa Rica." Duran is also the author of many short stories.
Stansifer said the exchange, which had been financially self-sufficient for more than a decade, was sustained by the State Department since the program's creation.
"Through the reciprocal agreement, we allow students to go to the other university at a reduced tuition — to encourage more students to go," he said. "It's been a very successful arrangement in the past, and we think it will continue to be in the future."
Panel continues interviews in asbestos safety inquiry
A three-member panel from the Kansas Department of Human Resources is continuing its inquiry this week into allegations that facilities operations did not follow federal safety guidelines for asbestos removal.
Kathy Ketchum, spokesman for the department, said yesterday that the panel had interviewed about 70 facilities operations workers and was continuing the confidential interview with a worker who completed the panel plans to interview facilities operations management.
The inquiry came after facilities operations workers complained that safety guidelines had not been followed in the demolition and
removal of a boiler at the campus power plant. The two-year operation was completed in December.
Ketchum said she couldn't say when the panel would complete its investigation. When all information concerning the demolition and removal of the boiler is compiled, he said, a report will be given to Larry Wolgast, secretary of human re-
After Wolgast approves the report, it will be given to Chancellor Gene A. Budig and become public record, Ketchum said.
also this week, Lonnie Welsh,
assistant director of construction,
and Robert Porter, associate
director of facilities operations, are
attending an asbestos safety seminar
