"It is our belief that when a person is immersed in another culture, forms personal relationships with others from that culture, and gains an understanding of that culture, he is much more likely to think and act with tolerance," said Kelsey Coon, the club's president.
While students from all over the world come to the University of Kansas to study each year, few of us can claim in-depth knowledge about other cultures besides our own. One remedy for this is AIESEC.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE UNITED STATES' DECISION TO CREATE "GATED COMMUNITIES" IN IRAQ?
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
What do you think?
"The fact we thought it was a good idea in the first place is kind of weird, but I'm not surprised. But I am glad we respected their wish and stopped building the wall."
"I don't think in history we have ever had a wall that worked. I think it goes against helping to unify Iraq; it's another method of division."

Paw patch detects stress levels in cats and dogs
TOKYO — Wondering if your dog or cat is stressed? Just stick a special patch on the bottom of its paw and you'll be able to tell, according to a Japanese company.
The patch, developed by Japanese company Medical Life Care Giken, purports to measure the stress level of dogs and cats by detecting excessive sweat secretion — believed to be a sign of stress — the Nikkei Weekly reported Sunday. The round, pin-sized patch is applied to the center pad of the animal's paw and changes color depending on how sweaty the pet is, the Nikkei said.
The company, which makes a similar patch for humans, said it worked with researchers at Toyama University to study the sweat patterns of dogs and cats, which secrete sweat from their paws, the Nikkel said.
The patches are expected to go on sale in Japan this year.
800-pound pig subject of new horror movie
ALAPAHA, Ga. — Hogzilla, a near-mythical monster hog that roamed south Georgia, is about to get a little bigger.
An independent filmmaker is producing a horror movie about the super swine called "The Legend of Hogzilla" and has even enlisted the beast's killer on the set as an adviser.
A National Geographic team confirmed the pig's existence in 2005 after exhuming the behemoth's remains. While the experts said the hog didn't exactly live up to the hype
— local hunters said the pig was 12 feet long and weighed 1,000 pounds — they still discovered a mighty big hog. They estimated it weighed around 800 pounds and was probably about 8 feet long.
