Studies Abroad Enrich School's Intellectual Life
"According to college administrators, involvement in cross-cultural educational programs enriches the intellectual life of a university. Having faculty members and students participate in educational activities abroad and also having students from other lands on campus help create a more stimulating and cosmopolitan atmosphere," said Dr. John Gullahorn, visiting assistant professor of sociology and human relations.
A study of Americans who have carried on educational pursuits abroad under United States government sponsorship and who have now returned to the Midwest is being conducted by Dr. Gullahorn under a contract with the Department of State.
The purpose of the research is to determine the impact of their experiences on them and on their current roles as scholars and citizens.
Approximately 660 scholars, researchers, teachers and students from Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota have spent time abroad under the exchange program of the Department of State.
Couples Need Housing
URBANA, Ill. — (IP) — Married students are with us to stay—and universities must plan for adequate permanent housing for these young people and their families, according to V. L. Kretschmer, director of housing at the University of Illinois.
A survey of family housing facilities made at 12 large Midwestern universities by the University of Illinois indicated that by 1965 married students will constitute 21.6 per cent of student enrollment.
1. Veterans have shown that marriage and school could be combined.
The survey showed these factors will continue to cause increases in married student enrollment;
2. Draft age men students often marry during school rather than wait through the two-year period of armed forces service.
3. Social relationships between young people are developing at an earlier age and earlier marriages result.
4. A higher level of prosperity permits parents to give financial aid to their married student sons and daughters.
5. An increasing number of students are entering graduate school and graduate students show a higher percentage of married students.
6. Because of teacher shortage, institutions will be forced to rely more and more upon graduate students, many of whom are married.
Permanent members of the faculty and staff should integrate with the local community, university officials believe.
Most institutions are constructing married student housing because existing facilities were not available at prices students could afford.

Visit Many Countries
"Most people who have been abroad say it was one of the most important educational experiences in their lives from both a professional and personal viewpoint. The more we talk with these people, the more convinced we become of the importance of cross-cultural exchange programs," Dr. Gullahorn said.
"More than half of the former grantees we have interviewed so far have written and published from two to fifteen articles as a result of their experience abroad," he added.
"One scientist, for example, spent a year in Australia during which he began a 5-year project with colleagues there, and he still is collaborating with them on technical articles."
"Another scholar who went to a European country found that no copies of journals prior to 1947 were kept in the university libraries. After returning to the United States, he sent his own back copies of journals to these libraries and had other members of the faculty send journals wherever duplicate copies were available.
Sends Journals To Europe
We could cite many other similar instances, but I think these illustrate some of the tangible and intangible benefits of the exchange of scholars," Dr. Gullahorn concluded.
The Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations were busy times for the Gullahorns, who interviewed former grantees in South Dakota, Iowa Nebraska and Missouri. Spring vacation will find them off again on a research trip. The final report on this research will be submitted to the Department of State in October.
Math Professor To Visit High School
Dr. Griffith Baley Price, professor of mathematics, will speak to students of Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kan., Monday on "The Revolution in Mathematics."
He will discuss recent changes in mathematics and what these changes mean to the student of mathematics. He will also explain the need for more mathematicians today.
Meat proteins are called "complete" because they contain significant amounts of the kinds of amino acids that must be furnished in foods.
Three To Attend Speech Meeting
Three University faculty members will participate in the annual Speech and Hearing Conference at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City Friday and Saturday.
Richard L. Schiefelbusch, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the Bureau of Child Research, will preside Saturday. Martin Scheerer, professor of psychology, will take part in a panel discussion of "Interpretation of Language Anomalies in Children and Adults" and Erik Wright, professor of clinical psychology, will act as moderator of the discussion.
Special guest speakers will be Jon Eisenson, director of the speech and hearing center at Queens College, Flushing, N.Y.; Miss Mabel Gulick, teacher at Kansas State School for the Deaf, Olathe, Kan., and Miss Jacqueline Keaster, chief audiologist at the hearing and seech clinic, Children's Hospital Society of Los Angeles.
Bayles Helps Produce Film
As educational consultant for Coronet Instructional Films of Chicago, E. E. Bayles, professor of education helped produce the film, "Using the Laboratory."
Mr. Bayles, who worked with the writing staff and producer, directed the factual accuracy, continuity and clarity of the film which was completed and distributed late last fall.
"Using the Laboratory" was planned to help junior and senior high school students in the natural and physical sciences develop proper techniques and attitude with which to approach their work in the laboratory.
College students in special methods classes in science education will use the film to see problems and opportunities in teaching laboratory courses.
Six Cadets Solo In Flight Program
Six Air Force ROTC cadets have soled in light planes in the new Air Force cadet flying program Robert Jackson, Leawood senior, was the first of the 31 cadets in the program to fly alone.
The cadets who soigned for the first time are William H. Jackson, Florence junior; Richard Lee, Mission, Roger Edwards, McPhrerson, James Hull, Wichita and Charles Garver, Mission, all seniors.
The cadets must have 31 hours of flying time to receive their private pilot's license. The purpose of the program is to familiarize the cadets with flying before they graduate and go to flight school.
