Khalid Sabih, Adamyale, Iraq, graduate student, is satisfied with his living conditions—they are sponsored by KU—but said that most foreign students' are not.
"They are definitely taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords." Sabri said. He gave an example of his attempt to help a friend find an apartment.
"He had agreed to pay $00 for one close to the campus. He also had to put up with cockroaches, rats and filth. He had to leave the next day. If he had been an American, he still would have had rats but he would have paid $30." Sahib said, "but the foreign student doesn't know any better."
People-to-People president, John Garvey, Wichita junior, said foreign students tend to prefer certain types of living situations which usually include having their own cooking facilities. Garvey said, however, that past consideration of an International house by The World University Student Board had met with complications which were more economical than social or ethical.
Garvey said, "The State of Kansas would be unwilling to finance the project because the residence would not be primarily for Kansas students. There is also a rumor that the state has suspended all university residence building until further notice."
Birth control film delayed a year
Production for an experimental birth control film has been delayed about a year.
The KU Radio-Television-Film department received a $10,000 grant from the Greater Kansas City Planned Parenthood Association to make a film on birth control, Bruce Linton, head of the department, said.
However, production of the film has been delayed due to other "priorities," he said. Originally, the film was to be released in October, 1963.
Garvey said the housing problem was a difficult one.
"Spicy food might permeate the wallpaper at one place or one or two students might not pay on time. This causes landlords to make generalities about all foreign renters."
The University is unable to make inspections of each and every dwelling, according to Garvey. "About all the University can do right now is not recommend a certain housing area. If an apartment does not meet certain requirements it is taken off a list. As the system is now, the city has more responsibility for the housing not on this list." Garvey said.
Maria Ling, Hong Kong graduate student and president of the Chinese Student Association, said most Chinese students are happy. "The Chinese are used to crowded conditions and do not like the inconveniences of dorm living. They get very tired of hamburgers and hotdogs all the time," Miss Ling said.
She said an International house would not be practical because of social implications involved. "There is a language barrier and most American students do not prefer to associate with the foreign student. There is also the social problem of race. All races under one roof would not get along." Miss Ling said.
Said Adra explained a bill now pending in the All Student Council.
The bill provides committees to reserve housing for foreign students who arrive late. It also provides that health department inspections be made and minimum requirements met.
According to Adra, the committee would act as a "go-between" between the landlord and the student. The committee would be composed of two members of the ASC board, one from International Club, two housing staff members, and two American students.
SAIGON — (UPI) — About 500 U.S. Marines, under heavy fire, surged across Hue's Perfume River in a surprise assault today, spearheading an allied drive to retake the city.
500 Marines attack Hue
Using a pickup flotilla of petrol boats, a mine sweeper and one landing craft, Maj. Robert Thompson's Leathernecks smashed through machine gun and rifle fire, hit the north bank of the river and charged the guerrillas who have nestled for 12 days behind the 12-foot-thick walls of Hue's Citadel.
"Our objective is to clean out the enemy from the rest of the city," said a spokesman for the Marines who already had smashed Communist control in house-to-house fighting in the new town on the south bank.
Hundreds of Vietnamese civilians, surprised by the dramatic dash across the wide river, watched the U.S. Navy steer the Marines to the far shore.
Suddenly the Communists saw the danger to their rear.
Surge ahead
From the north bank they opened fire. The civilians on the south bank scrambled into the ruins of the city once called the Venice of the Orient." The marines and their Navy crews surged ahead.
Thompson's men scrambled ashore when the boats touched the bank. They rushed from the northwest toward the high brick walls of the Citadel. The Communists, busy fighting government Marines inside the two-mile-square former palace of Annamese kings, had looked behind them too late.
In other war developments, U.S. Navy jet pilots smashed a tank near the vital American fort of Khe Sanh just below the North Vietnam border. American and government troops wrestled with guerrillas in the outskirts of Saigon while the capital began rein the

turning to life with garbage collection, burial of the dead and souvenir shops reopening for GIs.
In Hue, Dale Cunningham, a 19-year-old San Francisco seaman aboard the assault craft, told correspondent Richard V. Oliver, "Mortars started flying and I was glad when I saw these helicopters."

The chopper gunships whirled down and spit streams of automatic fire at the Communist shore gun positions.
A few units of Marines had crossed the river Sunday night but the major assault came today, Leatherneck spokesmen said.
