ANTIA HERZFELD, acting director of the program, said the main qualifications for applicants were a working knowledge of the country's language and a good academic background, important, as is the student's reason for wanting to study in a foreign country.
Each applicant is required to write a one-page explanation of why he wants to go and a short autobiography in the language of the foreign country he intends to visit. Also, interviews are conducted with students to evaluate their English fluency and their reasons for wanting to go.
Attitude is the most important consideration, Herzfeld said, adding that the students should be "good ambassadors of the United States abroad."
"It's the only way people will understand each other in the long run," she said. "My strongest motivation for being here is a very concrete desire to work toward international understanding and a possible peace for everybody.
HERZFELD STRESSED the importance of foreign study and foreign travel in general. She said that there was a need for more toleration of other cultures, and that travel was necessary for exposure to these cultures.
"If you tolerate neighbors, then you're likely to be more open to understand other cultures. When you come back, you're a better citizen because of that."

Three Australian aborigines, touring the United States as part of a tribute by the Australian government to the U.S. Bicentennial, are on the KU campus this week.
Aborigines' visit includes films, demonstrations
The aborigines, two artists and an accomplished boomeranger throwing, will give a dancing and musical performance, as well as a demonstration on boomerang throwing, at 4 p.m. today at the Wooldraft Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Yesterday, upon their arrival on campus, the Australian natives gave an informal bark painting demonstration and exhibited boomerang throwing techniques before a crowd of about 35 people in Memorial Stadium.
Also, two movies will be shown on aboriginal life, "Walkabout" and "Binh-Dong," which will provide a tomorrow an epic poetry reading will be in the Forum Room of the Union, at 8 p.m. in Memorial Stadium, the trio will give boomerang demonstrations and in-
The aborigines' visit to KU is cosponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the department of English, Student Union Activities, the International Theatre Studies Center and the department of painting and sculpture.
"You witness a lot of misery down there," Kitchen said, "and you become more sympathetic to causes that these people are interested in."
Kitchen said that when she returned to Kansas, she found it difficult not to talk about Costa Rican problems because the problems were misunderstood here.
Marshall Eakin, Lawrence graduate student, made the trip to Costa Rica during the 1972-74 school year. He taught a deeper look at things and to challenge his own values.
"THE MOST IMPORTANT thing about any foreign experience is that it broadens your personal skills on things. Eakin said. You are better at interacting with Starr than ferently than you would if you never left."
"You get a chance to see things from other people's perspective. Things that you once took for granted, you can't take for granted anymore."
He said he thought a certain maturity can be gained by studying in a foreign country
“It’s a time in your life when you’re very impressionable,” Eakin said. “You’re just at the point where you’re beginning to form your viewpoints and what you’re going to do with your life. It sort of gives you a foothold in a certain direction.”
"Whatever kind of generalization I'd try to make, the very next day, I'd meet an exception," Moore said. "You're confronted with what you want it to be and with what really is, and you've got to say, 'I was wrong.'"
MOORE, WHO returned this summer after studying at St. Andrews in Scotland, said she now was a lot slower to make judgments than she was before she left.
Moore said that, since coming back, she and tried to take things less for granted.

little deeper into what we know, into what our history is. It's good to stop and say, 'Hey, what have I been looking at all these years?' "
MOORE SAID that her stay in Scotland made her want to learn more about America's history.
Cornelius Smith, Kansas City, Kan,
senior, spent the summer studying Spanish
in Barcelona. He said that when he got
back, the first thing he wanted to do was
to tell people to visit some other part of the
world.
"It's a period of finding out a lot about yourself and realizing what you do believe in and how you do feel toward things," Gasper said. "It's an awakening to each
"I went over looking for theirs and I didn't even know my own," she said.
"It's really something to hear your own language as a second language and to see your country as other countries see it," Cehak said. "It's one thing when we say someone is our citizen, it's another when a German or somebody else tells you the same thing."
"Traveling increases your awareness and your sensitivity," Smith said. "It enables you to see yourself in this society, I very much stress that everyone, sometime in their lives, should see some different lifestyles other than their own."
RUSS GASPER, Sailor senior who spent the 1974-52 school year in France, called the "Russian girl" in the US.
Cekah said she wanted to return to Germany someday—but only to visit, not to travel.
Carolyn Cekah, Tulsa, Okla., senior, studied in Germany during her junior year. She said it was interesting to see the United States through the eyes of another country.
“As pretty and friendly as Germany is, I still feel more comfortable here,” she said. “If nothing else, I've learned how good I've got it here.”

New petition Senate topic
Better advertising for student representatives to departmental committees and the elimination of the Student Senate meeting tonight at 6:30 in the Kansas Union.
A petition to be submitted to Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, is the only new legislation requiring that all faculties of OSU be represented. Olson, chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee, requests that elections for student representatives to departmental committees be announced to students in office. The committee is stating the election times and procedures.
A bill that would eliminate four Senate seats that represent organized living groups is on the agenda as old business. The bill proposes to discontinue including the presidents of the Association for Affirmity Council, the Association of University Residence Halls and the All Scholarship Hall Council in the Senate.
Steve Owens, student body vice president, said yesterday that when the bill was discussed last spring many senators favored keeping these seats. But last night the Rights Committee decided to recommend that the Senate pass the bill, saying that the representation from living groups was unnecessary.
Another bill, which was discussed by the Senate at its first meeting of this year, will be brought out of committee. The Communications Committee is to recommend that the Senate reconsider a bill that woul guarantee that senators receive notice of Senate meetings and scheduled legislation five days before the meeting.
