Foreign study enrollment rises
Enrollment in study abroad programs at the University of Kansas rose this year even though the World Studies Data Bank and US News survey similar programs across the nation.
The data bank reported a 43 per cent decrease in students studying abroad during the 1975-74 academic year and a 15.5 per cent increase in students studying abroad during the same time period.
In contrast, KU's Summer Institutes Abread reported an approximately 15 per cent increase in enrollment this summer. There has also been increased participation at KU in other foreign study programs offered during the academic year.
However, J. A. Burzle, director of KU's foreign study programs, said recently that if inflation and economic conditions continued to worsen abroad there could be a decline in the number of people who take part in the programs.
"The cost of the institute in Great Britain has risen 30 per cent in the last year or so," Burda said, "and the drastic rate of inflation has been a france cause a few unforeseen problems."
Rising costs and the decline in the study of foreign languages were two reasons Burkle cited for the decline in foreign study programs. For these reasons, he, many universities and colleges are engaged in joint programs with other schools.
KU cooperates not only with other Big Eight schools but with much larger schools such as the University of Minnesota and many smaller colleges who can't afford programs of their own such as St. Mary's and Benedictine.
"Cooperation is essential to retain the quality and high academic standards of the foreign study programs, "Burialse said. "For the future, we need more people to us for our program in Costa Rica."
Fertile imaginations shine when rooms decorated
Paint, plants and a pillow or two are the essential ingredients many University of Kansas students are using to redecorate their residence hall rooms this fall.
Some students also use posters, but a resident of Corbin Hall, Mary Mitchell, Salina freshman, said. "We looked at her and saw that she was a girl, but who really wants those on a wall."
Most students said that painting is a challenging challenge of reading a residence hall room.
Leslie Hartford, Overland Park freshman, said her room in Corbin Hall was a "gross yellow" when she moved in. Soon after, Hartford painted the walls white.
"I just couldn't live with it," Hartford said.
Another Corbin resident, Melanie Kappelman, Lawrence freshman, said she remembered one room that was light blue with white puffs painted for a "heavenly effect." White shag rugs were also scattered on the floor, she said.
Plants are not only a decorating must, they are a companion, a hobby and a living touch, Hartford said. Plants can be suspended from the ceiling, extended from the floor or placed on shelves constructed in front of sunny windows, she said.
Mitzie Gillilland, an employee of Gardenland, suggested hanging plants with fishing line for a look of suspended animation. Properly constructed fishing-lange hangers can hold up to 30 pounds, she said.
With a little patience, mixed with the knowledge that plants need water and sunshine, any house plant can survive, Gilliland said.
Another idea Gillain suggested was joining adobe slabs or pieces of wood with two- or three-foot lengths of rope, hanging the entire assembly in the nearest corner.
Many students also try the artificial approach. She said. Dried wheat, cattails and driftwood are just a few things that are used in arrangements. she said.

adjective improperly to July 27 when it reverted a Senate decision to abolish full prescription of heroin.
It will require a two-thirds majority to suspend the rules so the resolution can be debated but neither Rolfs nor Bruce Woner, StudEx chairman, expects that Flood will have any trouble getting the necessary majority.
"It will be good to get the whole thing out in the open," Rolfs said.
The Senate will also vote on whether to overrule Holts' veto of a change in the Constitution.
Rvfos veted a bill last May which would have made Senate anti-discrimination laws more explicit, eliminated a phrase in the code which allows the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee to determine when a certain amount of funds is required by a group requesting funds is justified.
Without this clause no group that discriminates because of sex can be funded by student fees, Rolfs said. He said the clause needs some changes, but eliminating it would create more problems than it solved, especially in the field of athletics.
"It's a very important thing." Rofs said,
and I want it to be just right.
The bill in its present form would require 20 per cent of the eligible student voters to sign a petition before a referendum could be held. The referendum would be the referendum to make it official.
Slightly over 13 per cent of the students voted in the last Senate election.
Rolfs said the figures weren't set and probably would be lowered eventually.
"I just want to make sure some minimum percentage is set." he said.
Rolfs said referendums were permitted by the Senate code three or four years ago. In a report released Monday, it
"Five hundred voters could overturn a decision made by 110 senators," he said.

Eric Hedstrom, Kansas City, Kan,
senior, said in his Hingham Hall had a real "wooly atmosphere." Hedstrom covered his entire room from floor to ceiling and shingles. He said the room was "semi-impressively" and worthy of the name "The Swamp."
Tim Lord, Blue Rapids sophomore, used a tree post from a condemned house to serve as a partition between his sleeping area and the entrance in his room at Hashinger. Lord also used carpet samples on his floor for an effect that he said was "coloration galore."

Zoning order to be reviewed
KU recently became a member of a newly organized cooperative association called the Midwestern Conference for Study Abroad, which will operate its own charter college. The conference is open to any college or university interested in study abroad.
The Lawrence city commission last night decided to send a proposed PUD ordinance back to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission for further review.
The PUD, which stands for planned unit development, if passed by the city commission will set planned zoning. The intent of the zoning plan is to develop through zoning. Presidently, zoning changes are reviewed by the planning commission and sent to the city commission for approval. Under the zoning plan, the planning commission will make the final decision concerning zoning.
Problems arose during a review of the PUD when Betty Lichtwacht, a member of the Board of Trustees for the provement Council, said the PUD didn't include a special right of protest. A special right of protest would allow people in a province to vote against planning commission might not notice.
Dick McClanathan said he thought the right of protest was built into the PUD.
Mayor Barkley Clark suggested the addition of a more clarified right of protest, adding a more clarified right of protest.
The PUD will be reviewed at a future date.
