44 Students From 19 Nations Attend KU Orientation Course
Forty-four foreign students from 19 countries recently completed an orientation course at KU preparing them for entry into American universities.
The University was one of 16 orientation centers in the country where training was given exchange students prior to the opening of the regular school year.
The six-week program which ended Sept. 6 was packed with activities and lectures to acquaint the students with all phases of American life. The group became seriously interested in American customs and slang as well as history, government, and geography.
Dr. J. A. Burzel, chairman of the German department and head of the program, outlined the objectives as:
1. Familiarity with the general working of our political system.
2. Background of American civilization and our social customs.
3. Develop the foreign students' fluency in English.
4. Present students here with an
opportunity to discuss problems in foreign relations with other students from foreign countries.
Activities other than lecture and discussion meetings on the campus included a weekend visiting in Council Grove homes and churches; a tour of Kansas City's stores, industries, galleries and theaters; a hayride and a square dance.
Lectures on social customs, the co-educational campus, American slang terms, changing rural life, the 1952 election and women's role in society were all part of the program.

CHESTERFIELD
CHESTERFIELD FIRST PREMIUM QUALITY CIGARETTE TO OFFER BOTH REGULAR & KING-SIZE
BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack.
BOTH are exactly the same in all respects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger contains considerably more of the same tobaccos enough more to give you a 21% longer smoke, yet costs little more.
BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily good taste and, from the report of a well-known research organization no unpleasant after-taste.
BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfields the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy nothing else.
