Problems Of Foreign Students Discussed By Professor Lind
The problems of foreign students staying at an American university were discussed by Dr. L. R. Lind, associate professor Latin and Greek, at an International club meeting Wednesday.
A student who never leaves the campus while in this country might form an idea of the country which is completely false, for he would see only a small part of American life, Dr. Lind said. He said it is necessary for foreign students to leave the University to see other classes of people.
people.
That is the only way to learn about American civilization," Dr. Lind said. "Because they did not go out of their Universities, many foreign students who studied here some time ago contributed much to wrong ideas about America found in foreign countries."
foreign countries.
The foreign student should first of all learn with him a strong feeling of tolerance towards all the new and strange things he sees here. To understand things is often a matter of habit only," he remarked.
or harm only.
Dr. Lind feels that the enormous material achievements of America may cause bad effects on culture.
"But not every American is a rich man," he added, "and certainly not college professors. And so we know
very well that our country still needs more arts, more literature. We have a good start."
To help foreign students to better interpret what they see, Dr. Lind suggested special lectures for foreign students on American history, literature and the present situation of the country.
or the country.
A great problem of all foreign students is financial support when money arrives late or unexpected emergencies arise. Dr. Lind proposed the establishment of a foreign student fund to help them in such instances.
The speech was followed by the performance of folk dances by a Mexican dance group from Kansas City.

Antonio Mettewie, president, announced that preparations are being made for the foreign students to visit American homes in the country and nearby cities to give them the opportunity to form a more complete picture of American culture.
United Nations Must Face Problem Of Feeding And Housing Koreans
Military victory in Korea will leave the United Nations faced with the problem of feeding and housing the Korean population. That's the opinion of Clyde A. Babb, Extension representative, who was stationed in Pusan from June, 1946 until June, 1947.
He was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. army and commanding officer in charge of special service troops. Rice collection was one of the duties of the special service troops. They collected rice from Korean farmers and re-distributed it on a ration basis.
"Opposition to this practice was strong among farmers who wished to sell their rice on the black market," said Mr. Babb.
ket, said Mr. Bauss.
"For this reason it was easy to organize the farmers against the occupation troops. Korean hostility made it necessary to guard U.S. installations against pifering."
"There will be many hungry Koreans after this war," Mr. Babb said, "in 1946 many were hungry and lived in caves or huts no better than
caves. The Koreans will need help to feed themselves. Their diet is simple but the task is difficult even under normal conditions.
"Sanitation is another problem which will face the reorganized Korean government. Pusan and Seoul have no sewage systems. Army personnel stationed in Pusan in 1946 drank water only from the army water plant."
Transportation and communication lines were in bad repair when Mr. Babb left Korea. The natives use ox-carts and Shetland ponies for transportation.
TV Blackout Foreseen From Tube Shortage
Boston—(U.P.)-If total war startes today, your television set might be blind by spring.
You might be lucky and continue to watch TV for a year.
A united Korea will have a better chance of solving its problems than did the two Korean states, he said. "The Koreans want a united Korea and would probably welcome help from the United Nations until they could train and arm enough people to protect their country. Many of the things they need for their national economy will come from above the 38th parallel."
But by this time next fall, most every television set in the nation might possibly be off the air.

Reason for a wartime television blackout, O'Brien said, would be an almost certain lack of tubes.
Ralph Stoutimore and John Vohs, engineering juniors, are the official delegates from the University chapter. Unofficial delegates are: Don Glad, Charles Burris and Ronald McClure, engineering seniors.
Under the regulations, a veteran who wants to change courses or take new studies must apply to the regional V.A. office handling his records.
Geology Class Goes To Arbuckle Mts
And, warned O'Brien, they don't last long.
Washington—(U.P.)-The Veterans Administration has issued new rules for veterans who want to switch their fields of study under the GI Bill of Rights.

Engineers To National ASCE
Prof. G. W. Bradshaw, head of the civil engineering department, left for Chicago Monday to represent the University chapter at a meeting of the A.S.C.E. national committee on student chapter relations.
If he has never switched courses before, the V.A. will automatically approve the change. But if he is making a second change, he will have to undergo "advisement and guidance."
last line:
"We find the average set requires six service calls a year including one trip to the shop," he said. "Maybe 80 per cent of those calls mean a tube replacement."
VA Issues New Rules
The problem, O'Brien said, is that the same type of tubes are used in radar.
"Supply has been short since the war started in Korea," he said. "We have customers who have been waiting two weeks for a couple of particular tube numbers. Figure out for yourself what would happen if a total war came along and cut off the supply completely."
The agency said it will not approve more than two changes unless the veteran shows the need for a "short" extensive course to help prepare himself for a "critical" occupation short of trained workers.

Modern O. Henry Paints Outside Scenes In Jail
2016 Learnard
Earnest Aspinwain
ist. In the three years he has been
taught, nine jail he has produced
30 illustrations for a children's book,
several religious pictures, a stack of
prison scenes, and a good many other
scenes which he paints from memory.
Wichita-(U.P.)-There's a modern O. Henry in the Sedgwick county jail, only he doesn't write, he paints.
"There's plenty of time for it here and there isn't much to disturb you," Aspinwall said.
He expects to have 100 or more paintings finished before he stands trial.
Aspinwall faces charges of kidnapping and jailbreak but he doesn't talk much about the charges. Mostly he just complains about the bad light and expresses his emotions in his paintings.
Many of them show that there is a good bit of emotion in his thinking. There are paintings from real life which he made in a Louisiana prison and scenes of New England country-sides and Middle Western street scenes which he remembers from the time before he went afoul of the law.
There haven't been very many years in the adult life of Aspinwall hat that he was out of prison, however. Since he was 21, Aspinwall has spent 16 years behind bars. He isn't much past 40 now.
Most of them show bitterness at what Aspinwall calls the "complete inhumanity of the place." One painting shows a stripped prisoner being held on the ground while a prison trusty beats welts on his back with a lash.
paint Among the most vivid of his paintings were those made at the Louisiana prison where he served five years for grand larceny.
"it's like that," Aspinwall said
caustically, "and nobody escapes."
calicutly, and honesty.
His own escape, from the county
jail here, was just a routine incident
to Aspinwall.
"Somebody left a hole in the bars and I walked out," he said.
So far, Aspinwall has practiced crime while out of jail and artistry while in jail. The painting has been the more successful and profitable.
Aspinwall works with an easel made in the basement of the jail by a trusty and uses a palette made from the top of an empty preserves can. His chair is a board laid across a jail bucket.
a During one period, Aspinwall had somewhat better working conditions. At the Missouri state prison in Jefferson City, where he served a term for grand larceny, he re-decorated the prison chapel.
This Mother Not Bored; She Has Five Children
