Varied Souvenirs Taken Home By Departing Foreign Students
By Lacy Banks
Souvenirs ranging from a bal, point pen to a 1965 automobile will be carted home by KU foreign students this summer.
One student returning home is Rita Pasqualini of Genova, Italy. Miss Pasqualini, a junior majoring in architecture, has been studying on a scholarship at KU for a year.
In an interview last night, she said she intends to finish her undergraduate work at a university in Florence, Italy, when she returns in August, but "will not forget the wonderful time spent at KU and a few gifts I am taking home will remind me of my stay."
AMONG THE SOUVENIRS and gifts she will take home are a complete cowboy outfit, jazz and classical records, and color movie slides of life here.
Miss Pasqualini said when she first came here she thought cowboys and the "wild west" only existed in movies. "I knew there was a West, but I had taken the other items for granted," she said.
A trip to Oklahoma proved that cowboys still exist she continued. They do not necessarily live the same lives as those did in the past, but they still wear boots, ten-gallon hats, and ride horses. "I found the sights of the prairie and the wagon rides very exciting," she said.
MISS PASQQUALINI GAVE a special praise for the communal life of the campus here. At Italian universities, life is not so lively and concentrated as it is here, she said. They are more like private businesses, leading secret lives.
American universities are more open and secular, she said. There is always something going on: movies, plays, concerts, parties and informal bootenannies right on campus.
"Jazz and folk music are the two main things I enjoyed here and I hope to take some records back home with me," she said.
Pedro Trinidad, graduate student from Manila, Philippines, said he intends to take many spiritual as well as material souvenirs back to Manila
THE MAIN SPIRITUAL REWARD is a greater appreciation and knowl-

"Before I came here, I had heard and read so much about racial discrimination in America that it seemed to be the rule," he said. "But I found the majority of Americans are against racial injustice and it was a noisy minority that caused most of the trouble."
"This was very educational to me," he continued, "I hope to share these ideas and other ideas with my friends at home whenever the subject is discussed."
Trinidad said Filipino families are very closely knit and the members find it almost impossible to stay away from the others for a long time. "Homesickness was the main problem I had when I first came here, but after a few weeks I became adapted to the climate and was received very well by the people. I have thus enjoyed my stay here."
WHEN HE RETURNS, Trinidad will be acting in a supervisory position with high school science teachers. He expects a jubilant welcome when he returns because he is the second person in his town to attend school in America.
"I have already bought sweatshirts, jacketts, and banners as well as ball point pens and the like," he said. "I will also take back a complete set of classical records I have just purchased."
Basuki Tjokronegoro, Indonesian graduate student, expects to work in petroleum engineering when he returns home this summer. There is also a possibility of entering a business concern with his brother, he said.
Tjokronegoro has already bought one of the largest possible souvenir;s a 1965 American automobile. He intends to have it shipped home.
David Vargas, captivated by American folk music, hopes to take back to his Costa Rican home a guitar and folk music song books along with sweatshirts.
