European Summer Busy
By SANDY STONE
Kansan Staff Writer
"Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day."
The KU students who par- tition in the French and Spanish schools these words to be very useful in travel in Europe this summer.
The Spanish Institute students landed in Barcelona after a 13-hour plane ride from New York.
Their summer in Spain began with a two week bus tour which included trips to the Mediterranean Coast to Costa del Sol and Salou. The group stayed in Salou and then traveled southwest to Cabo San Lucas, Seville and then on to Madrid and central Spain. A native tour guide介绍了 the various towns and described the various towns.
Betsy Adams, Overland Park Junior, said that the hardest thing for her to adjust to during the first two weeks was that she was "living in a world that wasn't my American's for Americans."
ONCE BACK in Barcelona, the students began their classes. Robert Spires, professor of Spanish instruction at the Institute, said three levels of Spanish instruction were offered and that each student would have a course in Spanish and two courses. The courses were taught by William Blue, professor of Spanish and co-supervisor of the courses and two native instructors.
The students attended classes for four hours a day, six days a week for four weeks Classes taught by the students and the students were free to do whatever they wanted during the weekends. The students were free to weekends. Many of the students studied during the afternoons and left their evenings free to enjoy
"One of my courses dealt with
the concept of Spanish.
"It was exciting to know how
would be able to actually see
what I was learning about in my
classes."
"The thirst to learn was insatiable," Miss Adams said, adding that she was never bored with classes.
Linda Haines, Shawnee Mission junior, said she liked to spend her free time in the local market. She says she pays the native cooking and people.
THE STUDENTS lived in private dorms, which were close to the campus. They would have been impossible to house the students in private homes because the homeownders were usually anyone for a one-month period.
After four weeks of classes, the students were free to travel on their own for two weeks. Blue said that most of the students went to Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. A few students chose to stay in Spain for the entire two weeks, he said, because they had enjoyed their stay in Barcelona and felt at ease with the language.
Both Miss Adams and Miss Haines were distressed that there were so many Americans in Europe. Miss Adams said she had
met Americans in every place she had visited and that is Sitges, Spain, she had met me and was travelling through Europe for the summer.
MANY OF THE STUDENTS said that the adjustments they made to their phones returned to the United States were much more difficult than their adjustments before the one that one of the most confusing experiences she had encountered after her first visit to a grocery store.
I wasn't used to the rush and confusion of an American grocery store," she said. "It was a darker open markets of Sculpin."
"After spending time in Spain and Europe, I realized that I could put my former criticisms of America into a broader perspective," said Miss Adams "I am proud of the countries in Europe that I visited, America is still a very young country."

The students attended classes for four hours a day for six weeks. They also studied civilization courses, taught by French instructors, and they were required to take a composition course taught by a KU instructor.
NORRIS LACY, professor of French, and supervisor of the institute, said that the institute offered its students courses at least once a year and attended the Sorbonne in Paris and lived in university dorms on the Left Bank. All of the students received credit for their courses, he said.
Lacy said that most of the students spend their free evening at the sidewalk cafes. It was in the cafes, he said, that the students became accustomed to cuisine, culine and wines of France.
She was a little disappointed by the numbers of Americans that were in Europe, but they could be very hard to get on or in commercial areas, she said.
"The classes gave me a reason for being there. Mismcobby felt like I should just fit in with the native people. It gave me a reason not to be a tourist, and could look at all of the tourists just as the French people did." The students asked one or two
CHRIS COBERLY, Gove junior, said she was glad she had been part of a group on her first visit to Europe.
The students took one- or two-day trips to places such as Normandy, Brittany and Switzerland.
They were given a week before the Switzerland trip to travel by themselves, and then, if they wanted to do more travelling, they could stay in Europe for six weeks after the institute was over.
Miss Cobery said that there were signs scattered throughout Europe that stressed a feeling of discontent with America's influence in Vietnam, but no hostility was directed towards her personally.
MISS COBERLY said she spent most of her free week in England and Scotland. She said she had seen the increasing inexpensive and efficiency of
Lacy agreed that most anti- American feelings were directed towards the typical American child, and the young people or students.
"The trip gave me a good perspective of the way Europeans look at Americans and their extravagant nature."
MANY OF the students who participated in the European summer camp to return to an American campus and felt a lack of enthusiasm for the program.
NEW YORK (AP) — The American government offered to sell atomic bombs to the French for use against the Vietnamese in the Indochina war, the magazine Indochina, and Space Technology says.
"Those were the days. Oh, yes, those were the days."
The stimulating element called "the real thing" was missing.
Arrest Made Grade Options Open Now
In an article from Paris in its current issue the magazine quotes an informed source as disclosing the bomb offer.
