“It’s not an everyday ‘wow’ high, but it can definitely change your outlook.” Hull said. “It’s a positive and maturing experience.”
She said that major reasons for the program's success were the enthusiasm of students and the quality of the work.

A chance to enjoy a tropical winter in Costa Rica next semester is being offered University of Kansas students under a KU-sponsored foreign study program, according to Ruth Hull, Foreign Study counselor.
For about $3,000, a student can live in France, England, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Spain or the Soviet Union depending on the administering institution's policies.
Several activities are planned Saturday. The KU School of Law class of 1963 is planning a reunion at 10 a.m. in the English Room of the Kansas Union. The Class of 1963 reunions at 10 a.m. on the Watkins Room and at 11:30 a.m.in the Kansas Room.
Foreign Study Widens Perspective
The program in Costa Rica lasts from February through December. Programs to other Latin American, western European countries are also available, Hull said.
The annual gridiron battle between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University tomorrow afternoon will mark the midpoint of a season homecoming this weekend.
The Board of Class Officers will sponsor a Big Blue Beer Bust and Burn the Boardwalk party tonight at 8 p.m. in X Zone parking lot.
"For those students with an ability to adapt and a willingness to experiment with other life styles, the program affords an opportunity to see foreign nations in a new perspective," Hull said. "You become a part of the culture."
The activities begin officially tonight and continue through Sunday.
The pep rally is open to class card holders. KU yell leaders, the marching band, Coach Don Fambrough and the football team will also be at the rally. Dance music by "Quitting Time" will begin at 8:30 a.m.
"Kiss Me Kate," a musical take-off on Shakespeare's "Farming of the Shrew" will be presented at 8 p.m. tonight at the University Theatre. A Sunday matinee performance is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM students face in living abroad is adjusting to what Jon Vincent, assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese and former director-in-
Help Needed At Olympics This Spring
By KAREN HILKER
Kansan Staff Reporter
Directors of the 1974 Kansas Special Olympics for the mentally retarded sought support here yesterday from more than 25 civic and University organizations.
The effort came at a meeting sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in the Eldridge House.
The Kansas Special Olympics is an athletic competition for mentally retarded children and young adults, according to Charlene Drosselmeyer, recreation and physical education consultant for the Kansas Association for Retarded Children. Inc.
The 1974 competition is scheduled for May 31 and June 1 at Memorial Stadium, Drosselemeyer said. Between 1,500 and 1,800 teams compete across Kansas are expected to attend.
The Special Olympics was initiated by the Joseph Kennedy Foundation in 1968 and was first sponsored in Kansas in 1870 by the Kappa Association for Retarded Children. Inc.
Before entering the state competition, a participant must have competed in one of 10 Kansas regional meets, she said. However, a state participant doesn't have to win at regionales, she said. He only has to have participated.
THE MEET WILL be hosted here by the University of Kansas, the Douglas County Association for Retarded children and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
"Our ultimate goal is to create year-round recreation and physical education programs for the mentally retarded," Drossemeir said.
A technical knowledge of track and field events isn't necessary, she said. People are needed as guides, timekeepers, typists and for many other jobs.
Drosselmeyer said the first step in organizing the case was finding voluntary participants.

residence for the Costa Rica program, refers to as culture shock.
'Climate shock is the feeling of alienation that newly arrived students have in a totally foreign environment,' Vincent said recently. 'You feel like an island in a sea of boats.'
"Living abroad makes you much more open-minded and gives you an entirely different perspective on your own and other experiences. You experience you never quite recover from."
STUDENT HOUSING is arranged by the director-in-residence and the foreign government. In the Costa Rica program, students live in private homes for the entire year, but in most other countries the foreign students live in homes for about six weeks and in residence halls for the rest of the year.
Although requirements for the different programs vary, an overall grade point average of 3.0 and 16 hours of study in the English department is required. A language master isn't necessary.
Hull said a personal interview with applicants would be conducted and, when proficiency in a foreign language was obtained, the interview would be in that language.
Financial aid, in the form of both foreign study scholarships and loans, is available and most KU scholarships are applicable for study abroad.
A meeting for those interested in going to Costa Rica will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union. Students who have recently returned from the University of Costa Rica in San Jose will speak.

Engineering Awards
The University of Kansas Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department has received grants of $1,000 each from the Monsanto Chemical Company and the University of Kansas for programs. Don W. Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said that the Monsanto award would be used in part for an undergraduate scholarship, and the Oral Grant would be used for undergraduate scholarships in petroleum engineering.
Officers Elected
Officers of the University of Kansas Young Democrats were elected Tuesday. They are Barry Shalisky, Overland Park sophomore, preside; Sheila Jones, senior; and Richard Strauss, charge of publication; Debbie Stransbrough, University City, Mo., junior, vice-president in charge of membership; Mike Pottebaum, Wichita senior, treasurer; Rick Warrine, sophomore, secretary; and Rick Lawrence, sophomore; parlamentarian.
Rebate Increase Possible
Students may get an increase in rebates from the Kansas Union bookstore next semester, according to Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas Union.
The increase may come because of a $13,000 federal grant given to the Supportive Educational Services (SES), a tutorial organization for minority students.
About $18,000 of the Union bookstore's annual profits is given each year to SES by the Kansas Union Memorial Board Card Purchaser and the contribution to SES will be only $2,000.
Ferguson said that if the money was given back to the students, it would be returned in the form of an increased rebate percentage, beginning next semester.
"The decision about where the $13,000 that was returned from SES should go will not be made until the board's meeting in mid-November," said Ferguson. "But there was a recommendation made at their last meeting that the money be given back to the students."

"It would be higher than the 4, 5 or 6 per
The grant is only for a one-year period. budget officials don't know whether it will be approved.
Ferguson said the rebate couldn't be raised this semester even if the corporation board decided to return the money to the students, because rebates have already been paid to some students at the present rate.
