Does the American woman have a true image of herself? What do those outside America think of her? A group of KU foreign students answered this question in a recent survey.
Raja Naib, assistant instructor in Western Civilization from Pakistan, said, "Before I came to the United States I thought of American women as Hollywood movie stars and hot shot tourists.
However, he said, "After a semester at KU I changed my mind. I realized they were interested in a college education, careers, marriage and a family."
Che-Shen Chiu, Taiwan graduate student, said she, too, was surprised to find that American women were "truly interested in keeping house and raising a family."
Bixio Barenco, Switzerland graduate student, said his opinion of American women had remained dormant since coming to America. He said, "I think American women are too interested in getting married." He said, "I thought this before I came to America and I have not changed my mind."
Sugwon Kang, assistant Western Civilization instructor from Korea, said, "I imagined that American women would be more active than I found them." He said, "I expected them to take more responsibility in running the show. For example, I thought all American women would take care of the family bank account and know more than their husbands about the family finances."
Abdul Barek, Afghanistan graduate student said American women surprised him with their prejudice against the Negro race. He felt American women were more race conscious than American men.
John A. Bethel, Southampton, England, graduate student, said he expected to find the American woman far more dominant in the home than the English woman. He said his opinion has not changed.
"Here, the women are not as independent as in an English university," Bethel said. "From what I hear, the American woman goes to a university to find a husband. There are more girl in England who are serious about their career."
Patsy Burling, Stockholm, Sweden, junior, said she felt the American woman was capable of competing with men in the business world but "is ready to give up a career for marriage.
"Here, women are so marriage centered. Marriage is The Goal. It is at least as important as college."
Jan Ritsema van Eck, Schiedam, Netherlands, graduate student, said American women were better dressed than European women.
"Women here really try to look pretty," he said. "At home they are less preoccupied with looks.
"Women have greater freedom in Holland," Ritsma van Eck went on. "The relationship between men and women is more equalitarian. And the Dutch are more careless about the matter of marriage."
Wrong Caroline
FORT LEE. N. J.-(UPI)-Curiosity seekers, aware that the President was in the New York area, gathered quickly Sunday when the Palisades Amusement Park loudspeaker blared: "Caroline Kennedy to the Administration Building."
But Caroline turned out to be the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kennedy of Jersey City, only one of 53 children who were separated from their parents at the park.

Pop's Presents Plentiful
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Fathers get more presents than anybody — which should console them while they dig in their jeans to pay for them.
A study reported by Bulova Watch Company, Inc., shows that, contrary to general belief, more gifts are given on Father's Day than Mother's Day. Mothers usually get somewhat more expensive presents, but in terms of numbers of gifts, Father's Day ranks next to Christmas and birthdays as the biggest gift occasion of the year.
Contrary to popular belief, the zebu did not originate in the newsroom of the Summer Session Kansan.

Kansas To Start Consortium
The University of Kansas is among 22 schools negotiating to establish an Inter-University Consortium for Political Research with the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan.
Dr. John G. Grumm, associate professor of political science who represented KU at the organizational meeting last week in Ann Arbor, said the Consortium would put at KU's disposal one of the best facilities in the country for research in selected phases of the political process. Such a facility could not be duplicated at KU without considerable expense. he said.
The Consortium will provide for KU faculty and graduate student training, with academic credit from the University of Kansas. "It will be possible to achieve in some degree the European philosophy of the migrant scholar," Dr. Grumm commented.
The Consortium is being supported in its initial period of development by a grant from the Stern Family Fund. The University of Kansas was the only Big Eight school represented at the organizing conference.
