Foreign Students Comment On U.S.
By HARRY RITTER
(Of The Summer Kansan Staff)
Most of the 51 foreign students attending the KU Orientation Center are settled in their quarters at Grace Sellards Pearson Hall after plane and train trips which for some meant traveling halfway around the world. ◆
The typical reaction of most of the students after checking in, unpacking and relaxing for a moment was that most of their earlier fears and anxieties about moving to a new country for a year of study were unfounded.
When asked about their first thoughts after arriving in Lawrence last week most of the students said they were taken by the friendliness and kindness shown by everyone from almost the moment they started on their way.
Se Ly, Cambodia medical student, who is a rather shy young man, said he had many anxieties about his trip to this country but the willingness of people at each stop to help him and the kindness shown to him at the language center at the American University in Washington, D. C. and the cordial welcome at Lawrence made him forget his fears of coming to a strange country.
"I am surprised by the democracy of the American people, how they have so much liberty to do what they want when they want," said Mr. Ly.
Mohammed Rashid Farugui, Pakistan, designed and was engineer in charge of constructing the highest building in the capital city, Karachi. He was also chief engineer on the Greater Karachi Bulk Water Supply Scheme, which is a Los Angeles type conduit carrying 280 million gallons of water a day.
Mr. Farugui will continue his civil engineering study at the University of California at Berkeley where he hopes to get his master's degree in civil engineering.
American People Informal
"I always heard the people of America were very informal but I found them much more informal and helpful than I ever expected," said Mr. Farugui.
"The big fear all of us had was homesickness and this is only natural because we are so far from home. But now I see most of our fears were unnecessary because the people in America are so grand. They won't let you get lost or be hungry and there always seems to be someone around to help you when you need it."
Many KU students and faculty have been interested in talking with Usama Kakish, Jordan graduate student, whose plane was taking off at Beirut on July 18 while British planes loaded with troops were landing.
Jordanian Student Here
Mr. Kakish, who wants to get a masters degree in irrigation engineering at Colorado State University at Ft. Collins, was graduated from the University of Beirut, which is a branch of New York University. He speaks English as well as any of the group probably because he
"We are a poor country as far as natural resources go," Mr. Kakish said. "Jordan cannot live by itself and most of the Jordanians are aware of this and are resigned to the fact that they must become a part of one of our neighboring states."
has studied English from the time he entered grade school and most of the professors at the University of Beirut are American and our textbooks are used.
When asked if he resented American troops entering his country, Mr Kakish said no.
Mr. Kakish was awed by the use of so many automatic devices in this country. "Every place you go there is a machine to put a dime or quarter in—I never thought I would see the day when you could
"The British we resent because we have spent long years getting the British out and we feel this will all be undone by their coming now. We know the Americans will move out as soon as the United Nations takes control but the British may be harder to get rid of."
buy an insurance policy by putting money in the slot as you can at the airport."
Bernadion Hoyos, Colombia, is looking forward to the cultural aspects of the orientation course here at the University. He received his doctorate of laws from the Medellin University at Medellin, Colombia this spring and while a student there was in charge of radio programs featuring American music.
Mr. Hoyos, who will study international law at Southern Methodist University at Dallas, Tex., said the young people of Colombia like our movies, our books and our music.
Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner Popular
"Hemingway, Steinbeck and Faulkner are popular authors in Colombia. The young people especially like American jazz. Not necessarily as entertainment but for its cultural aspects," said Mr. Hoyos. "The favorite American movies are the super-westerns because that is one aspect of America that is unique, it is not duplicated anywhere in the world."
