EXCHANGE GROUP—Three members of the KU faculty who were on an exchange program with the University of Costa Rica this summer study a proposed building plan with the vice dean of the University of Costa Rica. They are, from left to right, vice dean Carlos Caamano; Charles E. Staley, assistant professor of economics; Oscar Haugh, professor of education, and Melvin Mencher, assistant professor of journalism.
New Plan Proposed For Foreign Exchange
A proposal for a large-scale foreign exchange program at KU has been presented by a special faculty committee in a report to the Chancellor.
To Studv Abroad
A study was made by the committee last spring, at the request of former Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, to evaluate the responsibilities placed upon the University by the increasing urgency of world affairs
The committee's proposal envisions one-half of the junior class studying abroad each year and for their places on the campus to be taken by an equivalent number of foreign students.
Though excellent in purpose, the report points out, the current program is inadequate to meet the needs of the future.
This refers to KU's "sister-relationship" with the University of Costa Rica, whereby several students complete their junior year there; the American Universities Field Staff, specialists in specific world areas who lecture extensively at the University four times a year, and planned programs emphasizing world affairs in the classroom.
Not Sufficient
"This will not be sufficient for the future," the report says. "What is needed is a comprehensive program, well integrated and coordinated, based on a clearly articulated set of principles which will serve as a framework and a yardstick for future efforts."
The report, titled 'The University and World Affairs,' is the committee's answer to the question of what responsibility higher education shares in the challenge of tomorrow
"To accept responsibility for the welfare of others is not only a moral obligation," it says, "it is a simple matter of practical necessity dictated by self-interest.

"No problem facing us today is more pressing or urgent than the challenge to understand the world about us, the direction in which it is heading and the nature of our responsibilities. Then, and only then, can we exercise some control over the future."
The proposal underlines the necessity of the student abroad deriving maximum benefit from the period by closely integrated association with the people of the country rather than individual experience as in the Fulbright program.
Several features of the proposal are discussed at length regarding group exchange of students, the need for universal credits and curricula, faculty exchange and the development of bi-lateral relationships.

In addition, the exchange of faculty will vary in nature from the present program. There would be more faculty per number of students — the same ratio as at KU — and they will teach the subjects they had taught at KU.
"This broad program cannot be created overnight," the report concludes, "but should be brought into being without delay. Our age calls for an educational system that considers the world its classroom."
As stressed by the report, "faculty participation should extend to all disciplines and not be limited to expertness in the language of the host country or conditioned by it."
Large Crowds Greet Ike in N.Y.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — President Eisenhower made a triumphant entry into New York today with 750,000 lunchtime greeters cheering his return to talk with world leaders gathered here for the United Nations meetings.

The crowds, obviously tired of the siren-led whisking of foreign leaders' motorcades through New York City over the weekend were glad to stand up and shout for their own chief of state.
Although Eisenhower will not again attend the United Nations General Assembly now in session, he had scheduled conferences with important heads of state whose support of Western policies in the U.N. could be of immeasurable help to the United States.
In Philadelphia the President attacked advocates of deficit spending as "political cowards" and said such spending would endanger U.S. security more than military weakness.
Eisenhower left Washington this morning by air and stopped at Philadelphia for two short speeches before taking off in his plane again to land at Newark Airport. He rode in his bubble-top car from Newark to New York City.
Eisenhower was met at Newark Airport by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Republican New Jersey Congressman George E. Wallhauser and Florence P. Dwyer and GOP National Committeeman Bernard Shanley.
About 200 persons were on hand to greet the President. He waved his grey Homburg to them before stepping into his bubble-top limousine for the drive into Manhattan. Cardinal Spellman rode with the President.
Both Sides Take 'Beating' in Congo
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo — (UPI) — Supporters of deposed pro-Soviet Premier Patrice Lumumba beat up two newly appointed government officials today, and then took a beating themselves from troops of strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu in violence that deepened the Congo crisis.
Mobutu stormed into the United Nations headquarters after the incident for a three-hour session with special U.N. representative Rajeshwar Dayal and chief of staff Gen. Carl Van Horn.

Khrushchev Lunches With U.S. Friends
NEW YORK —(UPD)— Nikita Khrushchev lunched today with his millionaire friend Cyrus S. Eaton and a top-secret roster of capitalist guests behind an Iron Curtain designed to protect the Americans' identity from publicity.
Eaton, who has met Khrushelev in Moscow and is an exponent of peaceful coexistence, had his own security force on hand to keep newsmen away from the Hotel Biltmore.
It was Khrushchev's first venture into American society this trip but he had to sneak in a side door under Eaton's security plan. Practically no one saw him.
The Cleveland industrialist termed the occasion a "private
More Dorms Needed Soon
"There will be no new dorms available in September, 1961." Mr. Wilson said. "The funds which we needed have not been approved as of yet, but we hope to start work soon."
Hope was expressed today by J J. Wilson, director of dormitories, that construction can begin soon on a dormitory which would be ready for occupancy in September, 1962.
It usually takes from 16 to 17 months for the construction to be completed, he said. The new dorm will probably be for women and will be built in the same area with Lewis and Templin Halls.
The unexpected increase in freshman enrollment has filled the present dormitories and caused several changes to be made in room assignments.
All upperclass women are in Lewis Hall instead of Carruth-O'Leary, Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Grace Pearson Halls as had been previously planned.
Freshman women have been placed in Gertrude Sellards Pearson and men have been put into the other halls formerly designated for women.
The total number of students living in the dormitories could not be released because the figures will not be known until after fees have been paid.
As of now, women living in Hodder Hall and men living in Oread Hall are being transferred to the other dorms as soon as rooms become available. The major reason for these transfers is that food service is not available to the residents of Hodder and Oread Halls.

business meeting." Newsmen and photographers were barred, his spokesmen explained, so the estimated 150 American guests could question Khrushchev freely without having their names given away.
Texts of the proceedings would be censored to delete names and then released to the press, Eaton's spokesmen said.
New York police barricaded the front of the hotel and private security men patrolled the entire 19th floor ejecting any reporters who succeeded in getting close to the ballroom Eaton rented.
For once, Khrushchev was less the target of hostile feelings among New Yorkers than Eaton. A group of Hungarians picked outside the main entrance waving signs that said: "Cyrus Eaton is a traitor."
Eaton's guests were reticent about their identity as they arrived. Most refused to mention their names or show their invitations—except to police.
Sight-seers missed Khrushnev because he was hung in the bar, not the main door, and up a private elevator.
Zoology Professor Receives Award
