Exchange yields Costa Rican prof
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
A Costa Rican professor of music began teaching classes at the University of Kansas last week, the result of a long-standing cultural relationship between KU and the University of Costa Rica.
Bernal Flores will teach two courses in Latin American music history this semester.
The "Linkage Program for the American Republics" arranges for professors from the University of Costa Rica to teach at KU for a year and for KU professors to lead seminars in Costa Rica.
The program began this year as an outgrowth of a 25-year-old student exchange program between KU and University of Costa Rica. Flores, his two children and his father-in-law arrived in the United States Jan. 9.
Educational institutes have neglected Latin American and other forms of music he said.
"The United States as well as Latin America have been thinking about music as European music," he said. "But we have to realize that the world is very small and we should think of music as a whole."
"The IDEA OF the course is to open that door to American students."
Flores teaches one course on the music of Mexico and the 25 countries in the West Indies, Central America and South America. Flores said he would teach each country's music separately in the class. The other class deals exclusively with Central American music.
The relationship between KU and the University of Costa Rica began a quarter of a century ago with the student exchange program.
Under that agreement, KU students who enroll at the Costa Rican school receive special fee rates and the same treatment as other students are given the same treatment at KU.
The program, supported by the State Department, was established along with several similar exchange
programs between U.S. and Latin American universities, said Charles Stansifer, director of the Center of Latin American Studies.
"ALL THOSE ARE gone. The only one that remains is the Kansas-Costa Rica connection," he said.
Other departments, at the University will reap the benefit of the new exchange program. At least two students at KU as a result of the program . . .
The KU contribution to this year's program began in December. Then, three professors traveled to Central America to lead a two-week seminar for 60 school supervisors at the University of Costa Rica.
ivan Barrientos, professor of educational policy and administration, and William LaShier and Robert Ridgway, professors of curriculum and instruction, plan to return to Costa Rica for a second seminar in
"It is an excellent program because it lets both of our universities profit from the strengths of the other university," he said.
