'69 class adopts Vietnamese child
There's a small boy in Vietnam with approximately 3,000 foster parents
The foster parents, the sophomore class at KU, adopted six-year-old Nguyen Dinh Loc last November through the Foster Parents' Plan, Inc.
According to Patty Baldwin, Prarie Village sophomore, who first brought the program to the attention of the Sophomore Congress, the Foster Parents' Plan is a non-profit, international organization which administers aid to destitute children overseas on a person-to-person basis.
MISS BALDWIN said she first heard of the plan in junior high school, where her class there adopted a child.
"I was reminded of it by an advertisement I saw in a magazine in Watson Library."
Miss Baldwin suggested to Doug Irmen, Shawnee Mission sophomore and chairman of the Congress Service Committee, that the class of 1969 adopt a child from Vietnam as a service project.
IRMEN TOOK the suggestion before the Congress for approval, The Congress passed the perject and appointed Miss Baldwin, a member of the Congress Service Committee to adopt a child in the name of the class.
Miss Baldwin said the Committee obtained the $180 necessary for the first year's payment from the Alumni Association's office and sent it to the Plan along with an application to adopt a Vietnamese boy.
Miss Baldwin said the Committee decided to apply for a Vietnamese child because the poor in Vietnam "are even poorer because of their war-torn economy."
She said they applied for a boy because they felt it was more important to the future of Vietnam that a little boy get through school.
FROM THE YEARLY payment Dinh Loc receives $8 a month for spending money and since school supplies cannot be mailed into Vietnam, $3 to buy them.
Miss Baldwin said that normally the foster parents can send gifts along with money to their children but that it is impossible at this time to send anything other than money to Vietnamese children since delivery can't be insured.
Miss Baldwin said the father, as a woodcutter, earns about 75 cents a day. The mother sells vegetables in the Market but has to stay home now because there is a baby girl in the family.
Miss Baldwin said Dinh Loc is described in a case history sent to her as a "sweet little boy in worn, threadbare clothing and barefoot. One of seven young children, he was born into the family of a poor woodcutter.
"THREE OF THE CHILDREN attend school. Dihn Loc is currently in the first grade.
When the baby was born the father had to borrow some money, so the family now has a debt of $8.55.
Dancers perform at 1-Club
By EMMANUEL AKUCHU
"If you want to learn and understand people and their society, you should start with the children, because they are more honest and open than adults. They have nothing to hide."
That was the opinion of Mrs. Nancyelaine Anderson, director and instructor of the Lawrence Dance Studio, 729 Vermont, after five of her pupils highlighted the KU International Club (I-Club) entertainment program last night.
Mrs. Anderson said she thought the performance would interest the international students and give them an opportunity to see something typical of America.
The five, all girls, performed baton and tap dances in the Kansas Union at the semester's first meeting.
"I hope this, would help create better understanding," she said.
EXPLAINING THE purpose of the I-Club, Charles F. Weinaug, professor of petroleum engineering, said the club provides a good chance to gain an understanding of international people.
"It is also an opportunity to learn about and get acquainted with one another," he added.
