Peace convoy workers recount Nicaragua trip
Kansan staff writer
By James Farquhar
While some people won't go out of their way to help others, few people go 2.000 miles out of their way to help people they never met.
Five people, however, did just that. They spent their summer driving a pickup 1630 Chevrolet bus to Nicaragua and for the country's citizens.
Several of those who made the trij showed slides and recounted stories of the journey last night at the beads and beans dinner. About 85 people attended the presentation at the Ecumenical Ministries building, 1204 Oread Road.
Nancy Stoffer, Prairie Village senior, and Jon Bell, a Kansas City resident, emphasized the non-political nature of the trip as they painted a grim picture of the plight of Central Americans caught in civil war.
"The United States is so cushioned from the realities that other countries have to deal with." Bell said.
it has to do with her. Stoffer said that she was touched by the strength of the people who endure violence on a daily basis.
"We climbed a mountain at night to find a well-ketted womb with a candle inside still it," she said. "Their faith is very strong."
Visiting a Guatemalan village filled with American luxuries, Bell said he heard guns firing in the nearby hills.
"It struck me as weird that I walked out of a dancing bar equipped with video screens and heard mortar horns," she said. "I know what said 'don't mind that noise.'"
The group originally went as part of the Veterans Peace Convoy but the widely publicized convoy met resistance at the U.S. border because the U.S. government aid as a violation of the U.S. trade embargo with Nicaragua.
Alienation part of return home
By Grace Hobson Kansan staff writer
When Kolisa Convis returned this fall from a 13-month visit to America, she said she found herself critical of Americans.
"One of the first days I was back. I did the worst thing you could do," said Convis, Dannville, Calif., senior." went to a baseball game. I saw the worst of the loud, "Oh, my God!" We were going to have a fight. What is this place I'm from, these are my roots."
Convis said she felt guilt for having such feelings about American but that she had been experiencing other cultures. "I was just going through a tough time," she said.
Convis is not alone in her alienation after studying in a foreign country for an extended period of time. Last night, the office of study abroad worked to ease the stress of the semester's returning students with a re-entry meeting.
Mary Elizabeth Debicki, director of study abroad, said that needed was necessary to help students prepare themselves.
"It's the finishing process of the process of study abroad," he said. "We try to get them ready to go back into America."
The 20 students who attended the re-entry meeting were eager to discuss their experiences with other returnees. For two hours, they shared the grievances and concerns of the group, an adviser in the office, led the group discussion
Michelle Danda, who spent six months in France, described her experience as "fantastic" and said she found the transition back to American life hard. She felt the culture shock immediately upon her return.
"I was in the airport in St. Louis, and I went to the bar to get a drink," said Dana, Leawood,eward. "Wheel of Fortune was on, and there was Vanna White. I just wanted to go on the next plane back."
Bodle said Danda's sentiments were common for people who especially enjoyed their time abroad.
"The people who have the greatest experiences and adapted well there have the most trouble coming back." Bodie said. "Michelle was first to say she had a fantastic time. It's a double-edged sword."
Bottle said that talking with other students who studied abroad and keeping in touch with friends the students would be a good thing.
Despite problems adapting to life back home, the students said they were more confident and open-minded from living in a foreign country. They all expressed a sense of national pride most hoping to return to the country where they studied.
The students also said they matured from their experiences abroad.
"We send children overseas, and adults come back," Bodie said.
Margin is Regents priority
By Laura Woodward Kansan staff writer
The Board of Regents declared the Margin of Excellence its top priority this year.
The Margin of Excellence is the Regent's three-year, $47 million plan to increase total financing of the seven Regents schools to 59 percent of their peer averages and increase the average to 100 percent of peer averages.
"Obviously, we're extremely pleased that we received the full funding of our base salary," said Michael Pereira, a man, at yesterday's meeting in Topeka. "The Margin of Excellence has now gone beyond just money. It is a huge business."
The Regents schools are the University of Kansas, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Kansas College of Technology in Salina, College of Technology in Wichita State University,
The Legislature approved 92 percent of the Regent's request for financing this year.
Although they were successful in obtaining this year's financing, the Regents and university presidents do not plan to relax efforts to insure financing for the second and third years.
"We are in the process of conferring with state leaders to elicit their support. Chancellor Gene A. Bungu was the first major association, Year one was a major success because we were well coordinated, and that will be true."
Budig also presented a report on the University of Kansas Medical Center to the Regents. Enrolment at the university increased by two percent this year.
"The nursing situation is a national problem." Budig said, "we at the KU Med Center are working hard to improve enrollment in the School of Nursing."
The Med Center currently has 46 vacant nursing positions, but Budig said the Med Center added 131 new nurses in the year, an increase over last year.
The Kansas House of Representatives defeated last year a qualification for the state's college students to complete a college preparatory curriculum. Students receive university
Stanley Kopilk, Regents executive director, said he would distribute brochures detailing the college preparatoryrium to all Kansas eighth graders.
In other business, the Regents discussed the question of qualified admissions.
The proposed curriculum includes four years of English, three years each of math, science and social studies, two years of a foreign language.
The Regents also discussed a proposal that would increase from 30 to 45 the number of general education hours needed to transfer from a state community college to a Regents university.
