Supporting Resources for the Lawrence campus, $6,225,000;

Gifts from Lawrence residents have included one for $78,000,
one for $57,000, one for $50,000 and a bequest in a will

AIESEC offers overseas work
AIESEC is no summer job clearinghouse. Rather, it is an organization set up to provide European-based training specifically in phases of business and economics.
Bud Zackary, Wichita senior translated AIESEC—the Association Internationale des Estudiantes en Sciences, Economiques et Commerciales—as an international association of economics and business students.
The program includes 48 countries and covers all the continents, Zackary said. The object is to provide international business education.
Completely student run, AIESEC has been operating throughout Europe for 20 years and in the United States for 10 years.
This is the first year the program has been operating in Kansas, Zackary added.
Greg Jackson, Lawrence junior, explained the program is not necessarily summer employment. A job secured through AIESEC may last from 8 weeks to 18 months.
Each participating business fills out a form, and an exchange takes place in Paris by a computer which matches the company and the student interests.

Zackary will be working for a general and life insurance company in Melbourne doing economic or investment research for five months.
Jackson will be in Edenborough working with the financing of computer printouts for a paper manufacturer.
"The companies pay less than they would pay someone else, and the student must provide his
own transportation. But there are no taxes," Zackary said. "The experience will be the most valuable part of the program."
This year the local division of AIESEC contracted with three companies to accept students from overseas-Hallmark Cards in Lawrence, Barry Tractor and Equipment in Wichita, and Union Carbide in New York—so that three students from Kansas may be sent in exchange.
