Dear Senator Goldwater:
As a citizen of this country, I wish to bring to your attention the attached document. It is a Call to all nations to choose delegates to draft a proposed World Constitution. None of the 180 prominent world personalities who have signed the Call believes such an effort to be either impractical or unnecessary. In fact, they sincerely feel this might save the earth from disaster. The Call has been delivered in the name of these citizens of various countries to most national governments during December 1961 and January 1962. I clearly hope this project will receive your full cooperation.
There are times in history when scepticism is deadly and sheer idealism the key to salvation. So-called impractical and visionary ideas can then become a canvas, a basic material on which to plan intelligent and logical decisions for the welfare of all concerned. We all know that social idealism seldom offers a technical solution, but rather represents an emotional drive; it is from there that competent legal minds can have a chance to design a workable system. This is what this Call is aimed to do. I believe we are in such times and agree with such an inspiring idea. Whether delegates to the Convention will be successful or not, cannot be known. Obviously, it is not a minor problem, nor is it an easy challenge. I feel, however, that an attempt at a World Constitution could not have been started without this effort.
Art History; and George Mora, botany instructor.
Lectures are given in the respective language, but the examinations may be written in English if students prefer.
For information on the history of the Call, may I suggest that you contact directly the World Constitution Coordinating Committee, 2310 North 15th Avenue, Phoenix 7, Arizona.
Very precisely, I respectfully request you to please present a bill to the effect that delegates would be officially chosen by the United States of America. If, in your opinion, this does not appear to be the right procedure please tell me what the procedure should be, and what else I should do as a private citizen.
The new program is an extension of the international exchange programs already in effect at KU. Other foreign language programs outside regular class work are the Costa Rica junior exchange program, and the Three Institute Summer Plan exchange to Germany, France, and Spain.
Jacques F. Houis d'Ormont
He added, "The Spanish Department would like to add more courses such as these, but there are limitations now as to what can be taught. The students that take these courses learn two things—to use the foreign language better and learn more about another course."
These courses are not for credit in language but in the particular field in which they are taught. They are meant for students interested in foreign languages.
THE FRENCH department tentatively is planning to offer a philosophy course in French. However, no definite steps have been taken.
Cyrus C. DeCoster, Spanish professor, said these courses will give students more practice in the use of the language and will show how vital language is becoming.
