UNDER GOD?
South Dakota's state motto is:
UNDER GOD THE PEOPLE

Is everything always under God?

KU attracts foreign scholars
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
The number of visiting foreign faculty members and research scholars from foreign countries has doubled at the University of Kansas since Fall 1988.
Marie Willis, program assistant at the KU Center for International Programs, said there were 110 faculty members and research scholars from 35 countries at the University this semester. However, Willis said that the center's lists had not been as thorough in past years and that the increase might not actually be as great as it appeared.
"There is no system set up where we can do an actual count of these visitors," she said. "But we feel done a very thorough job this week."
Although some of the visitors are faculty members teaching at KU, most are international research scholars working with faculty members or are involved in individual
China has provided the largest number of foreign faculty and scholars with 26 visitors. West Germany is represented by 11, but they are mostly graduate students involved in direct exchange programs. India has eight visiting faculty and scholars, and Japan has six.
research projects, Willis said.
Willis attributed the increasing numbers of foreign visitors to the growing need for countries to share knowledge and cultures.
"We are a global community," she said. "It behooves us to expand our working relationships with people from other cultures."
The average duration of stay for this fall's visitors is one full year, Willis said.
The foreign faculty and scholars can come to KU in several ways, including international exchange programs such as the Fulbright program, and government and business sponsorships.
KU has encouraged faculty to do research abroad in order to investigate exchanges with other universities, she said.
Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that he was surprised by the rising number of foreign faculty and scholars but that he was not sure why the increases were taking place.
"The United States has always had
"It is good to have this cross-fertilization of ideas."We can stand to gain from it."
a reputation for the last 30 years as a good place to come to study," he said. "It's always good, since this is an international world we live in.
Countries such as Argentina and Yugoslavia are represented in the cross-section of visitors. The chemistry department has the most visitors with 38 research scholars.
"They are attracted by the various areas of chemistry at KU," said Richard Givens, chairman of the chemistry department. "It makes this an international university. It adds to the prestige of the University of Kansas."
KU foreign students to celebrate Thanksgiving with local families
By Jennifer Metz Kansan staff writer
Some foreign students at the University of Kansas will get to taste a bit of American tradition this month during the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Thanksgiving Homestay Program, organized by the office of foreign student services, matches up foreign students with American families for a four- to five-day stay during the Thanksgiving holiday.
This year, about 55 foreign students signed up for the program, said Sara Martin, assistant director of foreign student services. Presently, 30 of these students will be able to be placed with families, but 25 more families still are needed.
Most families who volunteer to host a student do not have their own children at KU, Martin said. Some couples who volunteer are retired and other families have young children.
Martin said the program provided students with an opportunity to better understand U.S. culture and family life.
Sibylle Plassmann, a graduate student from Mainz, West Germany, and a participant in this year's program, said. "It's a chance to see everyday family life. If you are here, you meet so many American students, but it's representative of only one age group."

Plassmann said she was informed about the program at the beginning of the semester at an orientation session.
"Thanksgiving is part of America," she said. "It is more popular here to celebrate it."
Plassman said that in Europe, Thanksgiving was celebrated at
harvest time in September.
Karla and Craig Morton, a family with two young children from Elbeng, hosted a student last year and will participate in the program again this year. Karla Morton said about seven families in towns surrounding Elbeng would host a student this year.
"The program is good for Americans to realize that a lot of times we stereotype people from other countries," she said. "People of different skin color have some of the same thoughts, dreams and worries that we have."
A Shawnee couple, Alice and Bernie Bennett, will participate in the program for the third time.
The Thanksgiving holiday is a family-oriented holiday, Alice Bennett said. The program was especially beneficial because it exposed their five-year-old son to different cultures, she said.
The traditional Thanksgiving meal, visits to the shopping center and basic family activities were part of previous holiday visits. Alice Bennett said.
