Foreign Students Tell Club Of Holiday Experiences
"While we were in Mexico City for five days, we learned bargaining and how to choose food not too hot for delicate people." Yvette Delbke, Brussels, Belgium, graduate student, told the International Club Friday night.
Miss Delbeke described the club's trip to Mexico during the Christmas vacation, giving accounts of colorful markets in Mexican towns, bullfights, the University of Mexico, and the posada, a typical Mexican Christmas Eve activity.
"Our consensus was that the University of Mexico was too nice for studying." Miss Delbeke said.
Cheap Fruit
"Just a short distance from the border on our way back, we discovered that tangerines and oranges were being sold very cheap, so we bought lots of them, only to be told later that no foods were allowed across the border into the United States.
"We did not want them to spoil so we had to eat quite a lot of them in a short time before arriving at the border," Miss Delbeke said.
Impressed By Cabbies Pierre Bonnavaud, Fileletin
France, graduate student, who also went to Mexico, said that he was quite impressed by Mexican taxi drivers.
"People can walk either on the right or left of the street," he said, "but taxi drivers are so skillful that many people are spared by only a hair's breadth."
"There are so many churches in Mexico," Pierre said. "At the town of Cholula near Puebla, there are 365 churches, enabling people to go to a different church every day of the year."
Patrolman Pulls Out
Weather
"When we were driving in a small town in Texas, we were stopped by a highway patrolman because we drove through a stoplight." Ehrhard Bahr, Freiburg, Germany, graduate student said. "He was very courteous but we were quite thrilled when he almost pulled out his gun when our driver opened the car's trunk to get his driver's license."
He and three others went to San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, driving a 1957 car from Lawrence for delivery in California and an earlier model on the return trip from California to Lawrence.

Freshmen Men Ask For Counseling
Twenty per cent of the freshmen men indicated they wanted counseling or information on a questionaire recently sent out by William R. Butler, assistant dean of men.
"The third was to let the students know that this office and other offices in the personnel program stand ready to assist him. Lastly, I wanted to learn how aware freshman men are of the personnel services available to them."
"There were four reasons for sending out the questionnaires," Dean Butler said. "One was to identify students having trouble and wanting help. A second reason was to give the students information about personnel services available to them.
42 Per Cent Reply
Of the 1,043 questionnaires sent to the freshman man 439, or 42 percent, were returned, and 21 of these
indicated a desire for help or information. The questionnaires contained questions on personal adjustment and the various services offered to students.
"Nearly all who wanted help or information asked to know more about the Guidance Center which deals with vocational, educational, and personal problems," Dean Butler said. "Ninety students wishing help ask about scholarships, loans, and part time work."
Interest in the reading and study clinic was also high with 116 students seeking help with reading and/or study problems.
Letters and informational material were sent or will be sent to freshmen asking to know more about these services.
"About 20 students indicated they wished to talk personally with

someone," Dean Butler said, "and I have been calling them in to talk."
Dean Butler said no conclusions as to what the freshmen men as a whole were like could be drawn from the questionnaires.
"It has been a very valuable tool in the past and a number of students have been helped and received information early enough to do something about their problems if they wanted to." Dean Butler said.
"Any interpretations on the basis of the 42 per cent returned would be subject to criticism," he said. "However, they may indicate a trend and cause us to think about some of the areas covered."
