Have Spanish Will Travel
A group of eight University of Kansas students is enrolled in a one hour seminar on Costa Rica in preparation for an exchange semester in the Latin American country.
"Ten KU students and one Missouri University student will participate in the exchange program to Costa Rica," Seymour Menton, associate professor of romance languages, said yesterday.
The exchange program is part of KU's growing emphasis on bettering communications with neighboring countries as outlined by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy in his convocation address yesterday morning.
To qualify for the exchange program, students must have completed 16 hours of college Spanish or its equivalent. The group will leave in February for the University of Costa Rica in San Jose after a short orientation period in Washington, D.C. Prof. Menton and his wife will accompany the students on the trip.
The program has been set up as a long-range plan with a different director and student group every year. The exchange students will live individually with a Costa Rican family affording them the opportunity to speak only in Spanish and teaching them much more about Latin American culture and family living than they could gain from books.
Prof. Menton will also teach a graduate seminar in the 20th century Latin-American novel for Costa Rican instructors in addition to his duties as director of the student group.
Expenses for tuition will run approximately the same in San Jose as they do in Lawrence with room and board expected to cost about $55 a month. The State Department has provided a few scholarships to cover part of the expenses, Prof. Menton said.

USC Students Are Expelled
USC President Dr. Norman Topping also announced late yesterday that other members of the local fraternity chapter who were present at the initiation have been placed on disciplinary probation. He refused to name those involved or their number.
LOS ANGELES —(UPI)— Some Kappa Sigma fraternity members have been expelled from the University of Southern California as a result of last week's hazing accident which claimed the life of Richard Swanson, 21.
Swanson choked to death when a quarter-pound piece of raw liver he was ordered to swallow lodged in his throat. About 50 fraternity members were present, but allegedly refused to tell ambulance attendants what had happened. Police said Swanson's life might have been saved if attendants had known the meat was lodged in his throat.
Funeral services were held for Swanson yesterday. Several members of the fraternity and Dr. Topping were among those attending.
An inquest into the death was set for next Tuesday and the city council also will conduct its own probe beginning Thursday.
