KU officials formally welcomed visiting international faculty and scholars at an annual reception yesterday.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said he was pleased to have a large number of international faculty and scholars at the University of Kansas.
When welcoming the group,
Budig said, "I am making a plea to you. I would like for you to participate in full in University life."
sored the reception for four years.
Lisa Harris, from the office of International Studies and Programs, said the office had spon-
She said the visiting faculty represented many departments. The faculty and scholars had been able to teach all courses for one semester or for one year.
Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts, said one of the things that set KU apart from other universities is the visiting international faculty.
The group had a short tour of the Spencer Museum of Art. They also were provided with maps of the state and city."
Hua Lin Chen, visiting research scholar for the KU Medical Center, said he enjoyed the tour.
"This is only my second time to campus because I live in Kansas City." Chen said.
Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said he was concerned that students did not have a working at an international professor
"They could be learning about so much more from these faculty members," Brinkman said.
George Woodyard, dean of international studies and programs, said he often wondered what it would be like to work at the United Air
"Today, this is like a mini-United Nations." Woodyard said.
Cultural sensitivity means being realistic about what is happening today and what will happen in the future, said Leonard Zeskind, research director of the Center for Democratic Renewal, an organization that tracks and documents hategroup activities.

RAs attend KU sensitivity workshop
Zeskind was the leader of the first cultural sensitivity workshop Saturday for residence hall assistants, orientation leaders and minority peer advisers. There will be five more workshops this semester.
He said it was important for students to be informed about the future.
"It's about the idea of more information." Zeskind said. "Too often, people make decisions with a lack of information. More information is
critical
Jonathan Long, assistant director of the organizations and activities center, said the series was designed to be as comprehensive and broadly based as possible when addressing issues of diversity.
Zeskind led discussions and also created scenarios that involved role playing
Zeskind said that the students were active in the workshop because they had invested a lot of time in it.
Eric Thomas, Ellsworth Hall resident assistant, said she thought she had been sensitive to the needs of students in her hall.
But during the workshop, when similar situations that she had handled in the past were discussed. Thom said she could have done more to address the problem and identify a solution.
One scenario required students to play the part of a KU administrator. Some students said that if they were administrators, they would identify and admit that there was a problem. Some students thought a cultural training class that would deal with recruitment should be added to the curriculum.
Zeskind said, "These are great ideas. It's too bad there are only a few administrators here."
Ann Southerland, Oliver Hall resident assistant, said that for freshmen, it was the first time they had to confront the topic of cultural diversity. She said sometimes it was important to confront students about insensitivity.
She said if she had to confront a person about a racist joke, then at least that student would know she did not tolerate insensitiveokes.

Apple. to discontinue Mac Plus. & SE
LAWRENCE, Kansas - Those students who have purchased the Macintosh Plus or the Macintosh Inc in are for a surprise later this year. According to PC Week magazine [Sept 3, 1990], both machines are expected to be replaced by new models, but will be replaced by completely new models. It is suspected that Apple will release a series of new, lower cost Macs thought to be named the "Classics."
Some analysts attribute these changes to the introduction of the new Microsoft Windows 3.0 software. This new package allows more powerful I.B.M. compatible machines to function with the ease of use of a Macintosh.
"Our compatibility with Windows 3.0 are actually more affordable and are more frequent than the previous update is probably reacting to this new competition," said Paul
Whitely, with ConnectingPoint Computer Center in Downtown Lawrence.
"For instance, Hyundai's computer systems with color monitors are thousands of dollars less then comparable Mac II models," he said. Whitley went on to say that he advises the use of a custom-designed tsoh system to wait until the new model is introduced or consider the new, lower cost compatibles. Admeniement
