KU's Door Swings Open Again To Foreign Exchange Students
KU's door to hospitality opens again as 37 organized houses have made application to KU's Student Hospitality Program for next year.
The program, which originated at KU in 1950, provides for the board and room of foreign students. The program also allows KU students to study abroad.
Establishes Bond
J. A. Burzle, professor of German and chairman of the program for the University, said that the program has two specific benefits. He said the program has helped the foreign students to learn the American way of life and the program has given the organized houses an invaluable means of getting to know students of foreign lands.
"I know that this personal bond helps in the mutual understanding between the countries," Prof. Burzle said.
Prof. Burzle said the program establishes a personal bond between the American students and the foreign students.
Prof. Burzle said this direct exchange program developed along with the Fulbright Program. The Fulbright organization offers travel grants to the students selected to take part in the hospitality program.
The program is connected with the Institute of International Education located in New York City, N. Y. Prof.
Burzle described the institute as being the largest semi-official agency for exchange purposes.
Began in 1950
When the program began in 1950, only fourteen houses participated. Now the number has grown to 37.
"I would say that almost all of the organized houses and co-ops have participated in the program at one time or another since 1950." Prof. Burzle said.
Terry Travis, Lawrence first-year medical student, and Margareta Rasmusson, special student from Trellborg, Sweden, are two students who have participated in the program.
Travis spent last year at Keil University in Germany and Miss Rasmusson is presently attending KU.
Same Feelings Expressed
Both students expressed the same feelings on the benefits of the program. They said the program offers them a chance to become acquainted with the country they are studying in and that they have the chance to become acquainted with a new type of teaching system.
Miss Rasmusson said group living is new to her. In the Swedish universities, women do not live in dormitories. They live in private homes.
"I was surprised when I came over here and they had closing hours. We do not have them over there." Miss Rasmusson said.

Miss Rasmusson said American universities seem to have more general courses. She said the Swedish universities specialize more.
Travis lived in an international dormitory while in Germany. He said there was one German student and one foreign student in each room which allowed him to become acquainted with many customs and people.
The Renaissance exhibits in Watson Library and in the Kansas Union are also in honor of the proposed meetings here at KU, in April, of the Central Renaissance Conference and the Midwest Modern Languages Association.
April Special
Travis said the effects of World War II still prevailed in Germany. He was impressed with the way the German people are still working to build up their country.
