Foreign study programs are offered by KU-CU-NU
New Foreign study programs have been set up by the University of Kansas, the University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska.
Beginning next year, KU students may be eligible to spend their junior year at universities in Bonn, Germany; San Jose, Costa Rica, or Bordeaux, France. Students who qualify for these programs will live with native families and attend classes in a foreign language.
To qualify for the Germany program, students must have 60 or more semester units from KU or CU with a B average minimum in four semesters of college-level German. Also, they must have a strong academic record and be in good health.
The cost of this program is $2,000 plus an additional $275 which will be collected and held for the return trip of each student. A limited number of scholarships are available. Persons with KU scholarships may use them for tuition in the Bonn program.
The study in Costa Rica runs from February to December with a break in July. At least three semesters of college work are required for this program,
including the equivalent of 16 hours of college-level Spanish at KU or CU.
The year in Costa Rica will cost $1,850 including field trips to Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru or a return trip through Central America and Mexico. Some scholarships are available for this program.
The year's study in Bordeaux will be open to any student who is enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at KU, CU or NU. Required for this program are four semesters of college-level French with at least a B average.
The cost for the nine-month program in France will be approximately $2,000. This does not include return transportation to New York. Limited scholarships may be offered.
Students accepted for the program can earn approximately a full year of resident credit at KU after successful completion of their study abroad.
The deadline for filing applications is Dec. 6, 1968. Applications may be obtained at the Foreign Study Office, 224 Strong Hall.
Spacemen on TV
'A family show'
HOUSTON (UPI)—Apollo 7's crew telecast a "pretty show for the whole family" Monday and then lowered their earth orbit to a safer distance because a redlight emergency momentarily threatened their 11-day trial run for moon travel.
Astronauts Walter Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walt Cunningham, broadcasting "from the lovely Apollo room high atop everything," gave U.S. viewers their first live glimpse of Americans in orbit.
It came as they whirled through their fourth day some 140 miles deep in space and successfully performed two more key tests, brightening hopes for a trip around the moon by Apollo 8 in December.
Apollo 7 had its troubles, most of them small. Moisture began condensing in the disconnected oxygen tubes of the spacesuits and had to be mopped up a spoonful at a time. The drinking water tasted foul from chlorination.
The big scare was an early morning power failure, briefly shutting off much of the spacecraft's electrical functions. It was swiftly dealt with—preventing an early end to the mission—and ground controllers felt there was little future cause for worry.
Nevertheless, they deemed it "prudent" to advance by 16 hours a change in orbit, bringing Apollo 7 about 40 miles closer to earth at its low point and making it easier to return to earth in case of emergency.
The seven-minute television broadcast was one of the high points of the flight. The astronauts plan another at 10:14 a.m. Tuesday.

The crew smiled broadly and waved. The picture, produced by a revolutionary camera small enough to fit inside a shoe box, was remarkably clear.
Schirra produced two signs, one saying "Hello from the lovely Apollo room high atop everything," and the other "Keep those cards and letters coming, folks."
90th Congress adjourns
Cunningham billed it as "a pretty show for the whole family" and held the camera against a window to give viewers a glimpse of the U.S. gulf coast, whipping below as Apollo 7, 130 miles high, sped by at 17,500 miles an hour.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The 90th Congress finally adjourned Monday after a storm-tossed election-year session that saw the final legislative chapter written for President Johnson's five-year tenure in the White House.
House liberals paved the way for the final gavel in both chambers by abandoning their fight for Senate action on a bill to permit free television time for debates among Hubert H. Humphrey, Richard M. Nixon and George C. Wallace.
Rep. James G. O'Hara (D-Mich.), leader of the pro-Humphrey bloc, acknowledged the bill was dead and the battle hopeless. Then both Houses, sparsely attended . anyway, quickly closed up shop for the year.
President Johnson has warned he might call the Senate back after the Nov. 5 election to ratify the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. Like the campaign debate bill, it was put aside this month because of political pressures.
If Johnson doesn't call a special session, the newly elected
The 90th Congress talked its way through about 70,000 pages of the Congressional Record, appropriated $420 billion and, in the House alone, called the roll 875 times.

The television debate bill made adjourning one of the Capitol's toughest tasks all year. Humphrey and Wallace wanted it, but Nixon didn't.
The House passed it after a 27-hour siege which finally broke a Republican filibuster. But Senate Republicans walked out on it and the Senate leadership, with no majority to con-

Both Houses will meet jointly Jan. 6 to count the electoral votes for president, usually a formality. But if none of the three candidates has a majority, the House will tackle the job of electing a president, something that has not happened since 1824.
A box office spokesman said some of the tickets were sold before the misprints were found. "Minna von Barnhelm" is scheduled for Oct. 16 and "Das Schloss" ("The Castle") for Oct. 17.
