The Life Of A Foreign Student Under Study
By HIRGHOI SHIONOGZAKI (Of The Daily Kansan Staf)
"I suggest that you keep a diary of your observations in this country, including everthing which strikes you as new and unique," Mrs. John Gullahorn, graduate student in psychology, told the foreign students at an orientation meeting recently.
"Such a record of your impressions will be of personal interest to you, especially after you have returned home and your friends ask you about America; furthermore, it will help us in gaining a better understanding of what students from other lands must adjust to during their stay here."
Project on Adjustment
Dr. John T. Gullahorn, assistant professor of sociology and human relations, with his wife Jeanne, has been conducting a research project since last spring on the adjustment of foreign students to American life. They are assisted by Mrs. Mary Williams, Prairie Village graduate student.
Foreign students are no longer a novelty in the American university scene. Yet relatively little is known today about the impact of study abroad on the students themselves, on their home countries, and on their host countries. Thus, students from other lands present an interesting subject for a social scientist.
"First, we want to find out what problems foreign students face in adjusting to American university life—what factors help them and what factors hinder them," Dr. Gul-
lahorn said. "Then, we hope to make realistic suggestions as to what can be improved in orientation programs for them, based on the experiences of the students themselves," he explained.
To Send Out Questionnaires
To Send Out Questionnaires Dr. Gullahorn will send questionnaires in about a month to the foreign students on the campus. Another questionnaire will be sent to them at the end of the academic year, probably in April or early May. These are to determine how much they have succeeded in adjusting themselves to new life. Mrs. Williams has already begun interviewing foreign students individually.
"Any student living in a new culture would experience difficulties in adjustment. He would find not only different situations, but also different values being used to assess similar situations. In addition, his communication problems are intensified by the language barrier." Dr. Gullahorn said.
The Gullahorns conducted their first research project in the field of cross-cultural education during their stay in France, studying American students in French universities during the academic year 1954-55.

KU $ ^{Y} $ social responsibility commission
The display, opposite the north entrance of Malott, is designed to contrast the ancient with the modern in pharmaceutical supplies and texts.
This year, the 30th annual observance of American Pharmacy Week. the display follows the theme, "Your pharmacist works for better community health."
Each year photographs of the display, which varies in theme, are sent to the main office of APh.A in Washington, D. C., where they are judged on originality and effectiveness.
Jim Salyer, Larned junior, and a committee of six members of the KU student branch were in charge of erecting and photographing the exhibit. The KU branch won a framed certificate in 1950 and a trophy in 1940 for their efforts in the national competition.
In addition to the 200-year-old balance and weights, the display includes a mortar and pestle, thought to be more than 100 years old and several prescriptions from the A. R. Wooster Company, an early Lawrence firm, dated 1874.
Also included is the first United States Pharmacopoeia, published in 1820, and the latest Pharmacopoeia, the 25th edition. The exhibits are from the collection of L.D.Havenhill, late dean of the School of Pharmacy.
The collection will remain on display through October.
