Trip to Mexico Taken By Foreign Students
KU students from 13 countries visited Mexico during the holiday vacation. The 15-day tour was taken by 26 members of the International Club.
The students, and Sam F. Anderson, instructor of German and Russian, who acted as chaperone, left Lawrence Dec. 20 and returned last Saturday.
The first stop made was in Monterrey, where the group toured the city. It then moved to San Miguel for a Christmas celebration.
A party was held on Christmas Eve and the group attended midnight church services. A dinner party with dancing was held Christmas night after the group returned from a trip to Guanajuato and Salaya, where it watched a bull fight.
The next stop was Mexico City. From there the group split and one section went to Acapulco and the other to Oaxaca sightseeing.
"The temperature in Acapulco was a little different than here," said Manoucheir Pedram, Tehran, Iran, graduate student and club president. "The temperature there was 85 degrees." he continued.
"Mr. Anderson was helpful to us since this was his sixth trip to Mexico and he knows the interesting out-of-the-way things to see," Pedram said.
The two groups rejoined in Mexico City Dec. 28, and took a tour of Mexico City University. The students also saw Aztec remains and other interesting features.

The students enjoyed a social gathering at the home of Robert Cuba Jones, the agent who arranged the details of the trip. Mexican families showed colorful costumes and provided other entertainment. The students had a chance to talk with Mexican students.
Pedram said most of the Mexicans could speak some English and three of the International Club members could speak Spanish, so language was no barrier.
Students on the trip were from Germany, Great Britain, Austria, Italy, Finland, Luxembourg, Denmark, Nigeria, Japan, Ireland, Iran and the United States.

Students are invited to attend both sessions and observe the differences between the two methods of drama presentation.
Faculty Recital Postponed
Apportionment Has Problems
Kansan Want Ads Get Results
Reappointment proposals would give a Kansas constitutional convention more headaches than any other single issue, according to a conclusion stated in the Jan. 2 Governmental Research Center Bulletin.
The Center, located at the University, has been studying reapportionment solutions and the possibilities of a unicameral legislature for the state.
When the present Kansas Constitution was adopted in 1859, its makers did not anticipate the great farm-to-city-to-suburb population movement. As a result, a county with a population of 2008 has equal representation with a county of 102,113.
Before this can be changed to a more equitable situation, a constitutional change must be inaugurated.
The Center's bulletin also discussed the pros and cons of a singlehouse legislature. Every other state but Nebraska now uses a bicameral system.
Proponents say the single-house would consolidate all authority and responsibility in one body, giving more prestige to legislative positions and encouraging capable men to seek them.
Supporters of the present system say that the government regulating system of checks and balances would be destroyed in a unicameral house.
