International Club Helps Unity
By RUDI HOFMANN
You don't have to take courses in geography, history, psychology and economics to find out about the strange customs and mysterious mentality of India's people. All you need to do is go to a meeting of the International club, ask your question and not only get the proper answer from an Indian student, but also find perhaps 40 or more different opinions and ideas about it.
Coming from 42 nations all over the world and even from countries behind the iron curtain, students in the International club and most of the 136 foreign students on the campus regularly attend the meetings.
They discuss problems and bring some of the atmosphere of their home countries to America. More than any politician ever could, the International club succeeds in bringing the nations together by discovering faults and advantages, and mutually exchanging ideas and experiences.
But the meetings of foreign students here in the center of the United States will lose their worth if American students do not take part in the discussions, thus helping
the foreign students to solve their problems in this country.
Americans should answer their questions and explain American ideals and the political and economic system to them.
The University offices are in close contact with the club, helping it arrange visits to American homes, as during UNESCO week in October, and sponsoring the UN model assembly held before Kansas high school students.
school students The club has doubled its activities since the end of the war, realizing that today understanding between the nations is of great importance.
Expert speakers have talked to the members, as Dr. John Ise did about the economic situation in the Far
East. An official of a Labor Union will speak next month.
Trips have been planned to factories in nearby cities and historic places. Films will be shown about the foreign countries represented in the club.
in the club.
On the social side, dances and picnics are listed. The foreign officers from Fort Leavenworth will be invited to a party. Besides evenings dedicated to the dances and songs of foreign countries, the club intends to have some double parties with other organizations on the hill.
Foreign students have said in discussions and meetings that their nations have more in common with America than they had expected, and that American students do not know how much they are like foreign students. An increasing number of American students are attending club meetings.
University of Kansas men, facing a ratio of 2.8 men to every woman on the campus, can look back with nostalgia to the year the University opened. In the fall of 1866 26 women and 29 men were enrolled.
