Costa Rica Trip Draws Near For 17 Faculty
Seventeen KU faculty members and their families are in the midst of preparing for a one-month cultural exchange to Costa Rica.

John P. Augelli, chairman of the Latin American Program at KU, said that four other faculty members and families already had left for Costa Rica under the same program which is sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation.

THE CULTURAL exchange is a two-year program, he explained. During the first year of participation in the program, after an intensive seven-week training in Spanish, history and geography and special orientation courses, the participants spend a month in Costa Rica. The following year, the same faculty members have the opportunity of returning for two months.
The purpose of the faculty exchange, Prof. Augelli said, is "cultural penetration. We want the KU faculty to become acquainted with the social and intellectual milieu of Costa Rica," he said. Most KU instructors are corresponding with their counterparts at the University of Costa Rica, and will come into contact with them while in that country. Offentimes, Prof. Augelli said, the KU people are asked to be guest lecturers at the University. But the main purpose is to learn Spanish and become acquainted with the people and the country, not to establish a formal program, he said.

First-year participants in the faculty exchange will leave July 12. Richard Dyson, assistant professor of law, is in charge of the daily preparatory Spanish, history and geography classes. Prof. Augelli, who participated in the first summer program in 1960 and again in 1961, is holding the orientation seminars for the group.
Those instructors in both the first and second years of the program are Carl Deal, Charles Michener, Harold Krogh, Robert Nunley, Carlyle Smith, Jack Brooking, Eliot Gillerman, Leland Miller, Betty Sanders, Felix Moos, Howard Walker, Kenneth Rose, Gordon Ericksen, William Albrecht, Elden Tefft, Robert Cornish, and Francis Heller.

I HAVE GIVEN Professor Kirk more time than he is worth. However, his error of postulating absolute and universal norms or standards, theistic or secular, is shared by nearly every other thinker on the subject.
Men exist as individuals. They sustain their own existence to seek their own pleasure. This is the nature and, so, the business of human life. I suggest it is time we recognize and acknowledge it so and dispense with hypocritical double standards. Let us study history, not trustingly as Kirk suggests, but skeptically and rationally, for the purpose of gaining more insight into what attitudes and values will yield the most in individual satisfaction. (There is no other kind.) Let us take the study of man (philosophy) out of the hands of alchemists as once we so profitably did the study of nature.
Finally, if we value this human thing we are enough to make this effort, let us value it enough in others to grant them the liberty to do likewise. If we wish the very great satisfaction of self-respect, we must first respect the human being.
NEW YORK -(UPI)—The family car is being pampered more than ever.
Homes Care for Cars
John Sierks, chief architect for Levitt and Sons, Inc., reports that about three quarters of all houses being built nowadays have at least a one-car garage. As recently as 1950, he adds, less than half of new houses had garages.
Common Touch Highly Prized
By Robert Musel
LONDON'—(UPI)—Once upon a time every British boy was believed to dream of the day when he would have a title. Now an increasing number of Britons with titles are dreaming of the day when they will be plain "Mister."
for "mister" is a title that carries with it an opportunity the trend of the times denies the doughy dukes, the belted earls, viscounts, the marquesses and barons.
NAMELY, A CHANCE to be prime minister.
them to assume the status of commoners.
The pressure from "reluctant peers" who fear their political careers will be ruined by their being forced to sit in the House of Lords—instead of the House of Commons—is so great that the cabinet has approved legislation that will enable
The government timetable could make this law by July, which would be a big victory for Anthony Wedgwood Benn who nearly two years ago first pleaded for the right not to inherit his father's title as Viscount Stansgate.
UNDER THE present government proposals, anyone who inherits a title would have the right to surrender it for his lifetime. His decision would not affect his heirs.
He would then be able to run for the House of Commons in the knowledge that he could not be forced out of it by the fact he was eligible to sit in the House of Lords — as happened to Wedgewood Benn.
No member of the House of Lords has been prime minister since the
Marquess of Salisbury in 1895. None is likely to become one again in the foreseeable future.
If the proposals become law, Viscount Hailsham, Minister for Science, and the Earl of Home, who is foreign secretary, could then enter Commons and contend — if they wished — for the office of prime minister. Both would be strong candidates to succeed Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Of the two, Hailsham is said to be the more eager for the high office. Lord Home probably would have to be "drafted."
THE EARL OF Sandwich, who was a Conservative member of parliament before he inherited his title, is another who might prefer to return to the House of Commons.
Baron Altringham, occasionally a critic of royalty in his writings, is
another who plans to run for Commons if the law is changed. Viscount Lambton, a Conservative MP and son of the 78-year-old Earl of Durham, might also be affected. So would Lord Balmiel, another Conservative member who is heir to the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres.
