Fifty-five foreign students start University orientation
Fifty-five foreign students from Latin America, East Asia, Europe, the Mid-East, and South America have begun their eight-week orientation program at KU Orientation Center in Lawrence.
By DIANE WANEK Journalism Camp Reporter
THE KU ORIENTATION Center is one of nine such centers in the United States. The KU center is the oldest; it was established in 1951 by the State Department under President Truman.
One of the main concerns of the center is making foreign students proficient in the English language. This is being done through classroom situations and in a more informal setting at meals in the Kansas Union on the campus, where the students eat with several American counselors and teachers and discuss in English the American culture and the American way of life.

Architect sought for Geological Survey building
By PAT HACKNEY
Journalism Camp Reporter
Approximately $750,000 has been appropriated by the State Geological Survey of Kansas.
At the present, the state architect, who is over all state construction, is looking for an architect to work on the building.
The money became available July 1, with the new fiscal year. The building will be located west of Iowa Street, which is Highway 59, and south of 19th Street. It will be attached to an existing building at this location, which was occupied February, 1968 by the Water Resources of the United States Geological Survey.
FRANK C. FOLEY, director of the State Geological Survey of Kansas, said the members of the State and the U.S. Survey work very closely and have some mutual employees. He also said that the Survey is affiliated with the University. "We are a research organization and we fit into the University and it fits into us." This is why it is convenient for the building to be located on campus.
