QUESTIONS?—Edward D. Foster, El Dorado sophomore (right) answers a question for Jimmy Mokalu, Djakarta, Indonesia. Mokalu arrived here in August to study KU and to promote understanding between his country and the U.S.
Visitor's Speciality Is Study of Students
Jimmy E. B. R. Mokalu, Djakarta Indonesia, special student, is studying students at the University of Kansas.
"I want to see as many students and student organizations as possible," slight, energetic Mokalu said, "so I can get the real experience so I can compare it with my country"
He arrived in this country in August.
"I hope you will understand my expressions," he continued, "because I am not in English so good."
The 20-year-old Indonesian is studying under the Foreign Student Leadership Project, sponsored by the National Student Assn. He is one of 16 student leaders from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East studying in the U.S.
"We are here to promote understanding and also to bring our experiences at the different universities together and take them to our countries," he said.
Mokala hopes to have many experiences while living and studying at KU. In addition to nine hours of college work, he will study student government, organizations, and housing. He is also interested in how townspeople affect students and vice versa.
At the end of this year he will write a paper, similar to a master's thesis, on his observations.
"Don (Edward D. Foster, El Dorado sophomore) will arrange for me which meetings I would like to attend." Mokalu said.
Mokal attended the Christian University of Indonesia where he studied law and social science. He
Foster, a quiet Kappa Sig in charge of the F.S.LP. is enthusiastic about Mokalu.
"Jimmy's the kind of guy that really wants to get along with everyone," Foster said. "For instance, he speaks nine different languages."
"He does not understand slang yet," Foster said, "but he has an opinion on just about every national affair, and he knows what he is talking about."
was vice president of the student council, chairman of law students, and a member of the Djakarta Student Press Assn.
The NSA and KU provided Mokalu's scholarship. Kappa Sigma fraternity is providing room, board, and roommates.
New Baptist Pastor Starts Hill Duties
Mokalu's chief difficulty is getting used to American food.
Rev. Graber was selected by the board of the Baptist Student Center and succeeds the Rev. Mr. Ernst E. Klein.
Because of this difficulty Mokala has been given the run of the Kappa Sig kitchen—to choose what he wants to eat.
The Rev. Mr. John B. Graber has assumed his position as pastor of the University Baptist Student Center at 1124 Mississippi.
"Like they put on a sandwich a salad," he explained, "and I don't like that."
"I like this fraternity living," Mokalu said. "Fraternity means brotherhood, and all the Kappa Sigs have treated me as a brother."
Before coming to Lawrence Rev. Graber taught at California Baptist Seminary in Los Angeles for three years. He has traveled extensively in the Near East.
Rev. Graber was graduated from Bethel College in Newton, Kan., and holds a master's and doctor's degree in theology from the Dallas Theological Seminary.

Israel Protests Discrimination in Suez Canal Use
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. — (UPI)
—Israel warned the United Nations today that the warlike attitude of the Arab countries, led by the United Arab Republic, has "taken on new and ominous forms."
"By undermining the principle of freedom of navigation through the canal." Mrs. Meir said, "a potential threat is created for any other country against which Egypt may choose to use its control of this international waterway as an instrument of political coercion.
"Freedom of passage is indivisible; and the denial of Israel's rights strikes at the rights of all nations. . .
Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda Meir, protesting the U.A.R. refusal to permit Israeli ships or cargoes to pass through the Suez Canal, told the General Assembly Israel 'is not prepared to accept a situation in which she is singled out for illegal discrimination."
"Egypt is in effect attempting to exercise a veto over the legitimate trading activities not only of Israel but of many other countries, particularly in Asia and Africa...", she said.
Mrs. Meir said over 330 ships, belonging to 21 different countries, have already been blacklisted and are subject to the Egyptian sanctions.
She said the United Nations "cannot in one instance use all its collective moral pressure and in another exhibit an exaggerated leniency."
"We appreciate the efforts, so far without avail, of the secretary-general (Dag Hammarskjold) and certain member states," she said.
"We have patiently awaited the effective intervention of this organization."
The Israeli foreign minister complained of the "incessant war propaganda" carried on by the U.A.R.
The U.A.R. has claimed the right to stop and seize Israeli ships and cargoes bound to or from the Jewish state on the ground that a state of war still exists.
