THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN

Perceptive critics
Foreigners judge best
By Linda Ehrlich Journalism Camp Reporter "Foreign students are often the strongest judges of America"
Paleontology is introduced
Graduated courses in Paleontology will be introduced to the Land Science department beginning this fall.
The itinerary for the entire program has been set out over a three year term. Another new course scheduled to debut this fall is one concerning Graptolithina and Arthropoda.
Paleontology deals with science studies which deal with life of past geological periods through the examination of fossils. A group of extinct animals are categorized into Graptolithina. Invertebrated fauna having jointed segmented bodies are classified as Arthropoda, i.e., spiders and insects.
John C. Griffiths will join the faculty in September.
Clark M. Coan, KU dean of foreign students, said.
Coan remembers the 604 foreign students who during the past year received "a clearer, if not always better, perspective on American life."
"You'll rarely find more outspoken and perceptive critics of United States materialism and government," Coan pointed out. Relaxing back in his swivel chair, this quiet-mannered, greying man half-smiled and added that "their indignation over our racial policy is widespread—even with those whose own countries have a tradition of similar discriminatory practices."
IN CONTRAST, Coan said that these foreign students deeply appreciate the personality and outgoing nature of the American people. Both graduates and undergraduates quickly establish social ties with their American roommates or with students of similar professional interests.
There is no question that a foreign student will be just "thrown into the stream to sink or swim." Since the arrival of one Canadian
classical student in 1871, KU's foreign student program has grown to include the nearly 90 countries represented during the school year of 1967 and 1968.
"KU doesn't force any kind of assimilation on a foreign student," Coan said. "We have organizations to provide special religious and dietary services for those who wish to retain their customs."
HOWEVER, THERE is the job of weaving the diverse cultures together in song, dance and discussion and that job is handled mainly by various nationality organizations such as a campus chapter of "People to People," the International Club, and a spring International Festival.
Coan used recent studies and unofficial surveys to show that alienation of a foreign student from his own country does exist. As high as 15 per cent remain in America.
Strict government and economic restrictions as well as cultural diversity didn't stop KU foreign students from earning 19 masters degrees and 18 doctorates.
Fads and Fashions
Summer is hair revival time
This summer start a revival program for your hair. When summer comes so do the winds, the rains, and the parties. Your hair is not expected to go through these three tortures without a little help from you.
Shirley Temple or 17th century curls are the latest thing this year. Many girls today are changing their hairstyles as often as they change their clothes. Small tendril curls solve many a problem for the girl with naturally curly hair. Straight hair may be rolled into long, dangling chandelier curls that bounce with the slightest movement of the head. For those girls who have the shorter-than-his or saxoon cut, ringlets all over the head give the little girl image.
Hair color is another aspect of hair care. Many girls today have found that by frosting their hair it adds just that special sun lightened touch. Now, for those of you who would like to frost your hair, Clairol has solved the problem of endless hours spent at the beauty salon. With Clairol's new Frost & Tip kit you can sunstreak your hair at home.
Hair pieces have also found their way into the world of the younger society. Wiglets and falls seem to be the two most popular types. A wiglet is only about three-fourths of a full wig. It is usually about the same length as the real hair and can easily be slipped on after swimming or tennis for the party in fifteen minutes. A fall can be any length from shortest to longest. One braid down the back of the neck is very apropos.
Many boys have wondered if the short-haired blonde he was with last night is the same long-haired brunette that he is with tonight.
