KU foreign student increase is in line with national trend
Engineering wins as most popular foreign student major
The increase of foreign students at the University of Kansas has been slow but persistent.
The Institute of International Education reported this week that the number of foreign students attending U.S. campuses rose 5.3 percent to a record 407,500 in the last academic year.
Johnston said that the increase had been steady since 1958 when KU had only 203 foreign students.
Daphne Johnston, assistant director at the office of international services, said the number of foreign students at KU had increased 2 percent, from 1,870 in Fall 1990 to 1,908 in Fall 1991
The People's Republic of China has the largest representation at the University, with 221 students, Johnston
Students from Malaysia are the second largest group with 184 students, and the third with 93.
said.
The next four groups in order are Taiwan, 141, Japan, 122, India, 118 and South Korea, 107, Johnston said.
The number of students from South American countries rose from 249 last fall to 273 this year.
Brazil has the largest South American representation with 31 students at
There has been a decrease in the number of students from countries such as Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, United the United Arab Emirates, so said.
"We saw many students from the Middle East in this office asking for financial help," Johnston said.
In contrast to the national report, much states that the most popular major city has a high rate.
the most popular major for KU's foreign students is engineering, Johnston said.
Physical science comes in second, followed by business, the social sciences and computer science, she said.
Gerald Harris, director of the office of foreign student services, said that economic and political aspects of each country determined the number of foreign students who came to study in the United States.
But Asia is a very dynamic area, Harris said.
For instance, the Persian Gulcrisis financially hurt students from the Middle East, Harris said.
He said that since the beginning of the 1980s, China had improved its relations with the United States and had opened up its industrial market.
Nobel Prize winner still may not know she's won the award
"Those who can afford it and want to get a Western education will," Harris said.

Nobel Committee officials said Wednesday that they have no way of knowing whether Siu Kyi found out she had won the award Monday.
BANGKOK, Thailand — Poland's ambassador to Burma said yesterday he had been denied a visa that would have permitted him to notify Burmese opposition leader Aung Sun San Kyi that she had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sun Kyi, 46, has been kept under strict strict arrest since July 1989 by the generals she challenged in a non-violent campaign to bring democracy to her Southeast Asian homeland.
On Monday, the Nobel Committee sent a telegram to Burma's military junta asking it to tell Sluu Kyi she won the Nobel Prize.
Polish President Lech Walesa, who also won the prize while in captivity, had planned to send Suu Kyi a note of congratulations through the public envoy, Lucjan Mieczkowski.
"We haven't gotten any official response from the regime," said Geir Lundestad, secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Lonely hippopotamus escapes park in Florida
The Associated Press
"All of a sudden, I looked on the property and I saw a massive creature," Sue Smith recalled. "My first thought was a prehistoric creature. It was like an outer-snake movie."
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — A lonely hippopotamus that brake free from a wildlife park looked like an extraterrestrial to the woman who discovered it wandered in the dark outside her home.
There, glistening under a street light, was 8-year-old Garth, a 2-inch hippopotamus that had escaped late Monday night or early Tuesday from the Octagon Sanctuary, about a quarter mile down the road.
The hippo broke loose after the 5-foot electric fence around his several-acre enclosure short-circuited after heavy rains, said Octagon representative Judy Maunin
Garth has had wanderlust since the death of his twin brother, Percy, in August, she said. The two came to Octagon four years ago from a Florida circus, where they were billed as "racing hippos."
"He was looking for his brother." Mauuin said. "He's just lonely out there at night. He's a big old lovable
Octagon workers are considering getting him a radio, "something to keep him from feeling like he's out there all alone," Maupin said.
