Foreign Student Course Planned
A six weeks orientation for about 50 foreign students will be conducted by the University from July 28 to Sept.6 for the second consecutive summer.
The orientation program is designed to give the students a larger vocabulary of conversational English, to teach them American customs and civilization, and to adjust them to an American campus before they enter American universities this fall.
Friday, May 16, 1952
The course will be held under the terms of a U.S. State department contract which finances the project. The students will be housed in North College and Stephenson halls.
Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German, will direct the course for the University. This course is one of 15 throughout the nation. J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science and western civilization, will direct the academic portion of the course.
The students will be graduate students with professional experience. Professional advice by the members of the department will be given to the students.
In addition to the regular academic work, Dr. Burzle is planning field trips to points of interest in and around Lawrence.

The workers are seeking $1.88 an hour, an increase of 56 cents an hour retroactive to April 1. Contractors have offered to increase the present $1.32 hourly rate to $1.47, but want all existing work projects finished at the prevailing wage.
Some progress was seen when the strikers and Elbel Construction company signed a working agreement Tuesday on construction of a supermarket in Lawrence, and when Fluor Construction company workers went back to their jobs at the Kansas Power and Light project yesterday.
