sation said that many foreign students were already struggling financially at KU and that their families were hurting.
AVINASH THOMBRE, Bombay, India, graduate student, suggested that the Regents impose a surcharge on courses designed for foreign students, such as a second language rather than raise fees.
Andrew Daniel, Jaya, Malaysia, junior, said he did not think a fee increase would drastically lower the University's foreign student population and could reduce than fees at many other American universities.
He said foreign students would have to accept a fee increase because they did not have much experience.
However, Daniel said, foreign students would go to schools comparable to KU if they cost less.
"We don't have much say in Student Senate," he said. "I wish this was different."
LOREN BUSSY, Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, agreed with Daniel's assessment of foreign student representation in the Senate.
The last time a foreign student was elected to the Senate was in 1980-81, he said.
Busby said he hoped that the Senate would oppose higher fees for foreign students if the proposal came up.
Lisa Ashner, student body president, said she did not think increasing fees for foreign students was a good idea because the University had always tried to attract international students.
Kopik, Coan and some of the students said bad feelings could possibly result between foreign and resident students if the Regents established a new fee level.
However, David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, and Thombre said a fee increase for foreign students would not cause friction.
Teachers
From page 1
Akin prepares an annual report on teacher demand nationwide.
The beginning salary in Kansas this year for a teacher with a bachelors degree was about $12,500 for elementary schools, and about $13,000 for secondary schools.
TEACHERS WHO were surveyed for the report said they found the job market as tight last year, but the report said that the number of new teachers was expected to increase.
"By the late '80s, there will be an increase in demand for elementary teachers, and by the '90s there will be a growing demand for high school teachers." Akin said.
AKIN ALSO prepared a teacher supply and demand report of the United States, based on geographic regions and teaching fields. In the report, the Midwest region had the second highest rating for the demand for teachers.
Regions were rated on a scale from one to five: one represented a low demand for teachers, and a five represented a high demand.
The Midwest region — Kansas, Missouri,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa
and Minnesota — received a 3.37 on the scale.
The highest rating, 3.32, was given to the south-central (5) region: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. The lowest rating, 2.36, was given to Alaska; and the lowest rating in the continental United States, 2.73, was given to the Mid-Atlantic (8) region: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C.
The national report, which Akin prepared for the Association for School, College, and University Staffing, showed the need for teachers in the hard sciences, such as math, chemistry and physics.
David Dary, professor of journalism, autographs a copy of his book for Bonnie Rainsmeyer, Overland Park. She drove from Overland Park to have him sign the book, titled "Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas: An Informal History." The book
describes the development of Lawrence from its founding in 1854 to 1980. It took Dary four years to write the book and he says it is written from his own view of the people who helped shape Lawrence and the surrounding community.

problems such as the missile threat. And since the late '60s he has lived off and on in West Germany.
Francisco will board an airplane tomorrow bound once again for West Germany.
He and nine other political science professors from across the country will join a group in Bonn, West Germany, comprising political science experts from countries all over the world.
The group will analyze the West German elections March 6, he said.
Results from the election could determine a different West German attitude toward relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, Francisco said.
SOVIET NUCLEAR missiles aimed at Western Europe had been the central issue of the campaign among West German political parties, and a report showed that economic concerns were most vital.
Young people in West Germany have staged protests against the missiles and have shown
their discontent toward the large number of American soldiers stationed in their country.
As a result, a kind of disillusionment boiled among West German young people toward the
"There was a perception that the United States really was the land of milk and honey. That used to be true."
West German schools often take field trips to East Germany, he said, to give West Germany's young people a better understanding of the post World War II shakeup.
"THE WEST German kids come back with this kind of astonishment." Francisco said. "While it's a poorer area, the language is the same, the culture is the same."
Except for the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and more recently the Soviet-backed imposition of martial law in Poland, the younger generation of Poles was less likely that was most visible from 1948 to 1961, he said.
"All they know is, in their 26 years or so, there been no Soviet threat, he said. "They think, 'What.'"
"They simply think of it as an absurd situation that they're forced to tolerate that they didn't
He said he looked forward to going back to the country and familiarizing himself with West German attitudes — a help in his teaching.
BUT MOSTLY, Francisco said, he will be able to observe the changing, not yet so changed, when it happens.
West German discontent might be voiced in the elections, which could shift the power in West Germany's Parliament, Francisco said.
"If there is no clear majority in Parliament, then there would be uncertainty and instability."
Former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt from the Social Democratic Party was replaced last year by Helmut Kohl of the Christian Democratic Union.

be hurt if the more liberal Social Democrats regained power, he said, because more pressure would be put on Reagan to look for alternatives to his "Zeer Option" that was presented to the
Under the Zero Option, Reagan told the Soviet Union that it would have to remove those missiles, or the United States would deploy them. Reagan also missiles in Western Europe to offset the imbalance.
Schmidt had asked the Carter administration to deploy missiles in Europe, and Reagan's Zero Option was an increased response to West German concerns about the Soviet missiles.
But with the missiles so near their border, the West German people still enjoy pleasures in life.
Francisco said that although West German students were more politically aware than American students, social life was not very different in cities there than in America.
"THEY TYPICALLY don't have automobiles, and they typically live in cities," he said. "They go around in groups a lot to pubs and talk a lot, and they go to movies a lot."
University students in West Germany have copied American trends in clothing, especially in their demand for blue jeans in the post World War II era.
"Three or four years ago, the big fad was American university sweatshirts," he said.
But Francisco said people still dressed more formally when attending the theater or going out to dinner.
One trend in German music has lately started among the Liedmacher, or "song makers", Francisco said. They are the people who have made German lyrics less romantic and more
German critics in the 20s used to say "because of bad weather, the German revulsed Hitler's plans."
The new musical trend is similar to the '80s movement, he said, but a love for orchestrated music still lives among the West German people.
