University Daily Kansan Tuesday, November 10, 1959
International Club Like Small U.N.
The sound of voices speaking in many tongues filled the room. Expectant faces from many lands waited. The moderator, a serious Greek Cyprian named C. T. Constantinides, tapped his gavel. The meeting of the KU International Club began.
Kansas might be the last place one would expect to find a Ryukyu Islander, but three brave the hills of Mount Oread. There are students from Afghanistan, Cambodia, Poland, and the Union of South Africa.
A club meeting could be likened to the United Nations. This fall 245 foreign students representing 57 foreign countries are attending KU.
The country sending the most students to KU varies from year to year. This year Taiwan claims the title, followed closely by India, Germany, Korea, Canada, and Iraq. The large number of students from Taiwan on the campus is explained by Shuling Lily Feng, a Chinese student. She said:
"We don't have opportunities for advanced study in my country. The government encourages as many students as possible to study abroad, especially in the United States. The students are eager to come."
Although the majority of students
remain at the University only one year, 110 of the group that attended KU during 1958-59 are enrolled this fall.
Sixty-five percent of the students are graduate students, because most of the scholarships available are for graduate students. Scholarships are awarded by KU, the U.S. government, the home governments of the various students, and private organizations.
Most of the students have studied English several years. Language, then, is not a problem except for obscure American expressions.
Europeans seem to be interested in humanities, social science, science, and business administration, in that order. Students from the Near East study engineering and science, as do those from the Far East. Those students from the Far East also seem to like social science. North America, represented by Canada, has an interest in geology.
The average age of the students is $ 2 2 1 \frac {1}{2} $ years.
A University representative meets every foreign student when he arrives in Lawrence, arranges housing and sees that the student is comfortably situated. Most of the women students live in private homes.

"Patience makes women beautiful in middle age." — Elliot Paul
Persons who have scrap gold or silver in the form of old glasses frames, jewelery, table silver—even dentures—may leave it at collection boxes which have been placed in several stores.
"Most women have no characters at all." — Alexander Pope
The club will collect it in about a week and send it to a non-profit organization in the East which sells it to a smelter. The money is then spent on visual helps for persons unable to pay for their own glasses.
