A similar seminar was held at KU in 1963. In a presentation given by Latin Americans at that time, they said their main concern was students and their attitudes and values, both moral and social. This is also expected to be their main concern this year.
The group this year has traveled to Costa Rica where it was concerned with problems of university planning and evaluation in Latin America and particularly at the University of Costa Rica.
