Page 2 University Daily Kansan Friday, Dec. 14, 1951 Christmas And The Foreign Student Christmas and the two week vacation period are still in the future, but already the native section of the student body is preparing to adjourn to their separate homes, the native student body being those whose homes are within the United States. These students are thinking about Christmas, their own individual Christmas in their own homes with their own families and friends. They are thinking about themselves as individuals and are automatically forgetting that there are those in the student body who will have no home in which to go. They are forgetting that there are those who must stay on campus during the holiday season. Daily Hansan News Room Student Newspaper of the Adv.

Manager Bill Taggart Circulation Manager Elaine Blaylock Promotion Manager Ted Barbera Business Adviser R. W. Doores This group that must stay on the campus is comparatively small. It is composed of students from China, India, Austria, Germany, South America, and other countries over the globe. They are the international students of the University who came to the United States not only to obtain a college education but also to learn how the American people live and how they think and act. On the campus they live mostly in private homes and have a boarding house relation with the landlords. They rarely see inside the residence halls and fraternities and sororities to see American society on the college level. The artificial barrier that exists between the average member of the student body, and the international students is there because the native students knows nothing about these students from other lands. Each year during the Union Christmas party, the campus sees exhibits of Christmas in other lands. They learn how these students celebrate the holiday season but fail to offer the same information to them. The international students see the outward signs of Christmas on the campus, but rarely do they see the individual American home Christmas. This could all be changed this year if the American students would open their homes to the international students for a few days during the coming holidays. Inviting them to their homes so that they could see the average American family at work and at play would provide a more liberal education than a year of living in a boarding room home. And, it would relieve the monotony of a dull vacation on campus when University life is at a standstill. The Purdue Exponent. Letters To The Editor Some Thoughts About Kansas And KU "Gee, I guess I look for those broad shoulders." "I look for their more personal qualities like a car, money, etc. You know!" Door Editor: "The first thing I look for in a boy is a good personality. Next, I usually think about his probabilities for future success. Last, and least, comes his looks." (What do girls look for in boys? This was the question asked of coeds at the University of Kansas by the University News. Some of the answers: "How far that little candle throws it's beams." This morning as I looked over The Bucknellian sent to me by my daughter at Bucknell university I was saddened by the enclosed section, particularly the part around which I have put a parenthesis. "One, has he got a car?" Two, a fellow that treats me like a lady and takes someone else into consideration besides himself. Three, two big arms."

Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to the Daily Kansan under the address of "University News." The article referred to, which we print below in parentheses, was syndicated by the Associated Collegiate Press. As you know, there ain't no such animal at KU. We are printing the letter anyway, since it contains some sincere thoughts about our state. You see, people from other states have always looked up to Kansas. As I was a child growing into young womanhood I remember my father talking so proudly of Kansas and her progressive statutes. As we drove through Kansas on a western tour a few summers ago we thrilled at the sight of those pioneer mother statues in your cities. I wanted my young people to have the vision and the courage that had "There may be a few who feel and talk like that," said I. "but you'll find that girls still want character in their men. They still want their men to be men—not pampered pets." I felt, too, that the men wanted their women to be women fit for mothers. He spoke of Kansas leading with prohibition and woman suffrage. As I went on to a college in Ohio, then came East. I still followed Kansas progress with pride, although I have no relationship with that state in any way of which I know. When my son came out of the army he enrolled at the University of Vermont and, since I have often heard him make the same indictment of the girls that are acknowledged by the girls themselves on your campus. Comments... I argued with my son, and I have argued with his friends, that it cannot be true—that girls do not change to that extent in one generation.

Army neuro-surgical teams in Korea are now capable of performing delicate head and spinal surgery within 20 miles of the battle lines. I must say that "the stuff" I read in numerous college publications fail to indicate any greatness of thought in the young people upon whom we shall depend to bring us out of our sordid materialistic mess.
