Instructor Finds Egypt 'Hotter Than Kansas'
"Hotter than Kansas" was the way Alice Schwartz, instructor of education and design, described the temperatures in the desert near Luxor, Egypt.
Miss Schwartz visited Egypt on a two and a half month trip in the Near East last summer. Gamal Addel Nasser had just taken over in Egypt when Miss Schwartz was there.
Although she did not know it at the time, she was part of a crowd in a Cairo public square which was listening to Pres. Nasser's speech over a loud speaker as he announced the refusal of the United States for aid in building the Aswan Dam. She said she could tell there was a feeling of "great national spirit in the crowd" but since she was alone she did ont find out until later what had happened.
Despite the disagreement between the two countries "everyone was very friendly," Miss Schwartz said. "Some Cairo businessmen were a little upset and thought it was a foolish move for the United States not to loan Fres, Nasser the money since it forced him into taking over the Suez Canal."
Ankara, Turkey, where a cousin of Miss Schwartz is stationed as a military attache in the American embassy, was her home base during her trip.
"Turkey is pro-Western and is making great strides educationally," she said. "There is compulsory education until 14 years of age but as in this country, there are not enough teachers.
Turkey Pro-Western
"The aim of the village school is to teach students to lead useful lives in the village and help raise the standard of living. They are taught such practical things as how to make roofing tiles and water pipes."
Miss Schwartz visited a normal school where 500 of the future village school teachers are being taught. The school was 12 years old and had been constructed entirely as a co-operative project of the students and faculty.
Must Teach
After graduation the students must teach five years" she explained. "The government moved the normal schools closer to the village for when the students went to school in the cities they were not content to go back to the villages."
As a souvenir Miss Schwartz sent home some camel seats to her young nieces. One little four-year-old was disappointed, however. She would rather have had the camel.
Miss Schwartz visited a village factory of Seli, one of Turkey's largest weavers. "He knew nothing about carpets when he started out but he wanted to help the people. Weaving was something they already knew. He set up many factories of 12-15 looms in the villages, taking the industry to the people instead of the people to the industry."

Economics graduate students at KU are mostly foreign students.
"There are two reasons for this," said Leland Pritchard, professor of economics and business administration.
One, the American people subsidize foreign students so they can come to our schools. It is the feeling that better relations between countries are established, Prof. Pritchard said.
Economics Is A Subject For Foreign Graduates
Second, the United States has the best schools of economics in the world. English schools are the only ones that compare, he said.
Missourian Gets AAUW Award
Joy Immer, Kirkwood, Mo. senior has been given the American Assn. of University Women award for 1957.
"Even though there are many foreign students in our classes, we do not have trouble with accents," he said.
The award is presented each year to a senior woman at KU on the basis of high achievement in scholarship, personality and general worth during her school career.
It carries with it the payment of local, state and national dues for next year to any branch of the Kansas division of AAUW.

"Japanese and Korean students are the hardest to understand," he said. "In India, English is the common language for education. They learn it before they come here," he continued.
Foreign students are serious and attentive, Prof. Pritchard said, explaining that they show a great amount of respect for professors.
"It isn't apple polishing," he said. "It is just the way they have been brought up."
"One Viet Nam student couldn't wait to get back to fight the French," Prof Pritchard said.
Many foreign students who come to the United States remain here, he said, explaining that whether they stay is determined by their own government. Students from Iran, Greece and Lebanon like to stay, he said, asserting that the country is run by "old guards," and students have more opportunity here.
Students from the Far East and Egypt almost always go back. Egyptians are interested in their new government, he said; they want to do what they can.
Most students who go back have positions of power and prominence waiting for them, but he added that students who stay usually find ample opportunities.
