Classmates From Abroad
At a time when University enrollment has to be limited by formal priority schedules, the administration and the All-Student Council are to be commended for their continued recognition of the desirability of admitting selected foreign students.
The recent $500 appropriation by the A.S.C. and voluminous foreign correspondence by Dean J. H. Nelson are concrete indications of the University's vital interest in this matter.
There are two major points for the continuation and expansion of foreign student admission quotas. First, foreign students in their Lawrence living quarters, in the classrooms, and on the campus acquaint American students with the culture of their own countries. That such knowledge and personal contact is more vital now than ever before, cannot be denied.
and personal contact is more vital than ever. Second, when these foreign students return to their homelands, they take with them good will and vast stores of information about the U.S. That type of good will is, in many ways, more valuable to our nation than is that for which we appoint and pay ambassadors.
Further, in raising, even in a small degree through education, the standard of living and productivity of foreign countries, we increase the potential flow of trade between those countries and ourselves. admitting
As many as one hundred thousand foreigners are seeking admission to U.S. colleges and universities. The major problem confronting educators is, which shall be admitted?
must be admitted?
According to Dean Nelson, the paramount issues for consideration in each candidate are proficiency with the English language, character, and past achievements. The length of each student's stay in the U.S. is too short to allow long periods of instruction in English. Character of the prospective foreign student must be above reproach. The student's past achievements give an indication as to the efficiency with which he will use the time spent here.
K U., with 21 foreign students in attendance this semester, is considerably below the foreign student ratios maintained by many other schools. Texas University has 200 and New York University has admitted more than 500. Michigan University spends $27,000 annually on a foreign student counseling service.
counseling service. The University of Kansas, through private and state funds, can provide annual scholarship aid to 15 foreign students. For each foreign student in the U.S. receiving scholarship aid, two more attend through financial support of their own or their governments. That ratio here would make an average of 45.
Will K.U. get its 45 foreign students? Dean Nelson gives this answer, "We have applications from Holland, Czechoslovakia, France, Norway, China, and the Latin American countries. If, from those, we can find only 10 who meet our requirements of language, character and past achievement, we shall admit only 10. If we find 50, we will admit 50."—J.C.
Local Latins Socialize With Soccer, Dances, Games, Movies
Spanish dances, games, and movies about Latin American countries have been featured at the two meetings of the Latin American club since its organization in April. The club's object remains purely social with an emphasis on the cultures of the Latin Americas.
Jose Portugues, Colombian student who acts as chairman, originated the idea at K.U., patterning the organization after a similar club at the University of Texas.
With soccer to Latin America what football is to the United States, a group of Latin American students recently challenged the physical education majors to a soccer game. The score was three to zero in favor of the Latins.
Plans for next year include two meetings a month, featuring a different Latin American country each time.
Members of the club are: Eduardo Valde and Jorge Villata from Ecuador; Samuel Duran from Chile; Ana Maria from Peru; Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Maldonada, Mr. and Mrs. Bernardo Villa, Mr. and Mrs. Jaime Honey, and Mrs. Wellhouse from Mexico; Bolivar Marquez, Horacio Salerno, Raquel Rios from Panama; Armando Rivas, Alvaro Chavaria, Fernando Torres, Marjuja Torres, Alfonso Torres, Loco Rounda, Jose Portugues, Judith Quiros, Juan de Dios Murillo and Bautista Murillo from Costa Rica; Humberto Treu-jillo and Ruben Valderrama from Colombia.

K. U.'s enrollment under the peacetime N.R.O.T.C. will be about 200, Commander Baum estimated, with 100 men transferring from other units and 100 freshmen.
The navy "chow hall" in the Unior will serve its last meal on Commencement day, Captain Peterson said and the University will take over those cooking and dispensing utensils that it wants. At one time 3,500 meals were served daily to the combined forces of electricians' mates and V-12 students.
With the navy's leaving, the campus will be devoid of uniforms for the first time since July, 1942. According to Fred Montgomery, University director of the naval training school, 2,775 machinists and 784 electricians were trained here during the war.
The navy V-12 training program for engineers and pre-medical students began July 1, 1943, with some 500 trainees. In order to synchronize the University schedule with the navys, the University began its wartime 16-week summer session, making graduation possible in three years.
Medical trainees both on the campus and at the hospital in Kansas City, dental trainees at the University of Kansas City, pre-medical trainees and engineers have constituted the personnel of the V-12 program.
Enrollment in V-12 fluctuated from a high of 500 in the summer of 1943 to approximately 300 in 1944 and 1945. Approximately 150 men have been graduated from the University in the program.
The Navy department announced in March that it will have no contract with any colleges or universities after July 1. It will be necessary for all trainees who remain in N.R.O.T.C. after July 1 to gain admission to an accredited college or university.
