KU foreign students need families to share Thanksgiving traditions
By CINDY MORGAN
More families are needed who are willing to share their Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas traditions with University of Hawaii students coming to the KU People, People organization.
The People to People home-stay program
in homes in which foreign students may
be admitted.
"We're looking for homes, especially for the Thanksgiving vacation," Molly Kirk, vice president for the KU People to People organization, said recently. "A family doesn't need to commit themselves for anything but the Thanksgiving break now."
"We want homes where the family will treat, our friends but like a trooper of the fortune," Kirk said.
Nancy Kaul, president of the organization, said, "Most of the students want more than a hotel or a room. They want to come to people and the American way of life."
Kenji Kitao, Japanese graduate student,
in participate in the program several times.
"During the recess there is nothing to do here. It's boring," Kitao said. "I learned a lot about the American culture by living with a family."

Watson copiers malfunctioning
The increased malfunctioning of photocopying machines in Watson Library may lead to their replacement, according to the director of University of Iowa and Libraries.
H. Robert Malinowski said recently that he had received complaints from patrons and library personnel about the copy machines being out of order. He blamed the malfunctions on dust accumulating inside the machine. He said the dust, which is a component of the dust accumulated particularly bad during times of extremely high or low humidity.
Malinowski said more reliable copy machines were available, but many required 10 cents a copy instead of the present 5 cents a copy.
A coin-operated machine that reproduces pictures and reduces the size of the original image might be a useful tool. He said several different copy machines might be installed in Watson library to find similar images.
mauwsky said that the library staff was doing everything possible to keep the copy machines in order and that the situation soon would be improved.
Calletdefens, Spain, special student, was involved in the home-stay program, he had taught English and social studies.
"I knew nothing about the country"
"I was interested in how the people here live."
He said it had been a good experience and he enjoyed meeting the people.
Kirk said most of the students were enrolled in the Intensive English Center. The students speak English fairly well, she said.
In the residence halls, where most of the foreign students live, Kirk said, the students only come in contact with other foreign students. She said the home-stay vacations often were the first opportunity they had to practice English.
"They are isolated in the residence halls and don't become acquainted with others."
The Rev. Arden G. Dorn family has taken in eight students in the last three years. Dorn said his family usually took two and a half weeks to break and one over Thanksgiving break.
The Dorns prefer the semester break period.
"that汗ap of time you really get to be the students and their countries." Drew
In the Dorn household, the students aren't given special treatment. They are treated like a member of the family, Dorn said, and are welcome to participate in all the family activities. The students are very interested in what American families do over the holidays, Dorn said.
An added attraction for the students are the Dorn's three young children. The students say the children are the best English teachers. Dorn said.
The students aren't inhibited around the children, he said, and speak freely.
"Having a student is a good experience," Dorn said.
There are 40 foreign students involved in this year's program, Kirs said. About 85 per cent are men, and ages range from 17 to 39, she said.
Kaui said that in the past, People to People had gone to high schools and churches in the area to recruit families. Students in their mid-twenties, Kaui said,
"We want to place more students in the homes of KU students than in the homes of high school students because of the age difference," Kaul said.
People to People provides transportation in most cases, Kirk said. The Student Senate helps sponsor a bus to Kansas City, where most of the students are placed, Kirk said. Students also tries to place transportation to other places with other KU students, Kirk said.
People to People also sponsors occasional field trips to factories, museums and other places of interest in Kansas City or near Lawrence, Kirk said.
The People to People program on the University level was organized in 1961 by a group of KU students led by William F. Dawson.

In the past, KUUK has been too much of a "kick shop," where students played music and screamed a lot, according to Elizabeth Czech, associate professor of journalism.
In preparation for becoming an FM radio station, we have a new program in January.
Admission 75' - Woodruff Auditorium
"We have a whole different kind of people
pow." she said yesterday.
She said that KUOK probably wouldn't become an FM station until March.
Some of the new programs featured in the new format will include talk shows and call-in shows, in which people can call in and express their opinions.
Czech said that the talk shows would last for a half hour, but that the shows would be shorter.
"We still must entertain the students and we'll break up the talk so no one will get hurt."
Czech said programs of interest to minorities were planned. These would include talk shows given by or about Indians, Indians, Chicanos, women and blacks.
At present, Czech said, KUOK could reach about 2,900 persons in University residence halls because it was a carrier of the virus. But no other broadcast was limited to a special area.
She said as an FM station, KUOK would reach more than 50,000 persons.
KUOK to drop 'jock shop' format
Czech said the new format would prepare students for professional jobs because most jobs would require them to know how to talk in shows.
"We will share some programs, but there will be no repetition," she said.
"Just as we really get them trained, they move out," she said.
She said KUOK wouldn't become a competitor of KANU.
Czech said she now had the authority to keep students who had reached their maximum and didn't want to work at KANU.
Because KUOK is operated by the school of journalism, Czech said, students could work at KUOK a maximum of three semesters.
"Our signal should go out about five or 10 miles, so it would cover all of the Lawrence and Pike."

GRAMOPHONE
There's a new idea around. Someone finally decided to see just how high High Fidelity electronics could be built, and whether there were enough persons who cared it to justify it.
We are TEAC, and you probably know we build quality, reliable products. We now are offering to you a service that will give us the advantage of a low-cost, fast-acquaintance. The specifications are conservative to the point of pessimism, and in spite of that, an Electronic engineering usually uses to reliability problems. That need not be in true-coverage design or fast-acquaintance. The specifications must just ask, until now, no company hailed the courage to charge what the solution would cost.
And to demonstrate the conviction of our courage, we will keep all these Accuphase Electronics of our company in mind when we come up with solutions that cannot be maintained the performance you originally paid for for your every year and we'll keep it. We want to ensure that you for this service we don't expect it to be necessary. That might sound like we have to be necessary. That might sound like we have to be necessary. You own it to yourself to us out, but we see how far the limits of technology can be stretched. Like most other companies, we must mean what they was done. Many realities offer Accuphase, not much if it can be provided. Those who do are worth it.
Teac from TEAC. Extravagantly.
