Foreign Students To Visit U.S.Homes During Vacation
Foreign students will learn something of American family, life, geography and culture in different places during the Thanksgiving vacation.
They will be going all over the United States, some in organized groups and others individually.
One invitation comes from the small community of Burns which is 120 miles southwest of Lawrence and has a population of 300. There has been a tie of friendship established between this community and foreign students at KU with this being the third consecutive year that students will spend Thanksgiving in Burns.
Trip to Colorado
The KU Christian Fellowship is organizing a trip to Colorado Springs for those interested in seeing the mountains. This group will also leave Lawrence on Wednesday and return Sunday. The students will pay their own expenses.
Burns people will come to KU Wednesday noon and pick up students, who will stay until Sunday. There are still three vacancies in this invitation.

There is also a group of students planning to go to New Orleans not to mention those who plan to travel on their own.
For students who remain in Lawrence, to catch up on their studies, the Douglas County Council for UNESCO has a program for them to stay in nearby communities. There will also be a Thanksgiving dinner given by the Lawrence Methodist Church Sunday noon.
Regardless which invitation students accept, it is an opportunity for them to see the country, people and way of life to be found only in an American family.
Information on foreign student trips may be obtained in the dean of men's office.
