World's Fair Attracting International Students
"Of the 420 international students enrolled at KU, 125 will be staying for summer school." Clark Coan, International Student Adviser and assistant dean of men, said yesterday.
Two-thirds of the foreign students are graduate students. So whether they are enrolled in classes or not, many have to stay around campus to work on research projects or papers, Dean Coan explained.
"THE WORLD'S FAIR in New York is drawing many of the foreign students who will be traveling." Dean Coan said.
Other international students will be making summer visits to their native countries or taking short trips around the United States, he said.
"Approximately 200 of the foreign students will attempt to find work for the summer months," Dean Coan said.
"THESE STUDENTS are faced with many of the same problems that face other college students looking for summer work.
"One of the major problems is the 5 million unemployed figure in the United States' work force," Dean Coan said. "In the summer, college and high school students are thrown into this force."
"We have been cautioned to try to discourage international students from seeking work in New York's Fair, because most of the positions were filled by April," he said.
CAMP JOBS, manual labor, resort jobs (Colorado), and work in their scholastic fields are the jobs most commonly found by the foreign students.
Two agencies aiding the international students finding work during the summer are the Student Employment Counselor and People-to-People.
"The purpose of the Job Placement committee of P-t-P is to place foreign students in summer jobs, and homes if possible," Richard Keeler, special student, Bartlesville, Okla., and co-chairman of the Job Placement committee, said.
ABOUT 85 applications have been received by the P-t-P office, and the committee is now trying to match them up with the 40 jobs they have now, Keeler said.
"We have been looking for these jobs all over Kansas," he said. "Contacts have been made with Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs, Lion's clubs, and Chambers of Commerce.
Over the spring vacation P-t-P representatives took press releases home with them, and placed them in their local papers.
"This way we reached about 41 towns," Keeler said. "Working through the newspapers and personal contacts by students seemed to be the best way to get results," he continued.
"The P-t-P office now has about 40 job openings, and we hope to have 50 in a short time," Keeler continued. But the job still remains to match the applications with the job openings.
