P-to-P project has problems
The People to People office is having problems finding homes for foreign students during spring vacation because of the great number of applications made, said Dave Hann, Kansas City senior and chairman of P-to-P.
The committee for homestays is rushing to find more hosts for the foreign students. They received 70 applications and they have only 20 homes available.
Efforts to get more American families interested in being hosts for foreign students are being made through radio announcements and publications in some
papers in Kansas City, Lawrence and small communities, in the area.
Foreign students living in dormitories face more complications in finding a place to stay during spring break, as all residence halls will be closed Saturday noon.
Hann said that P-to-P could not promise to find places for applicants, but were doing all they could to help.
During Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation, the People to People office received more petitions from American families
than from foreign students, but now the situation is reversed, he said.
For the foreign students, the homestay program is an interesting experience in many ways—it gives them a chance to practice the language, become acquainted with American culture and know more about Americans. It also permits them to talk about their countries to their hosts.
American families interested in offering their homes for the students should contact Judy Hankammer at the People to People office in the Kansas Union.

All houses must have their IFC representative and house presidents at the meeting in order for their votes to be counted, Andersen said.
Support sought for humanities
Barnaby C. Keeney, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, told a House-Senate subcommittee that the overemphasis on science education has threatened the education of the next generation.
Keeney said too much weight was being placed on the sciences from grade school to graduate school. Keeney, in pleading for more support for the Humanities Endowment before the subcommittee, said that Humanities could solve the problems which advancements in science have created.
He said that until the common people could use historical and philosophical material to help them decide the major public questions of the day, and until the general public could use the knowledge of the past to solve personal problems, we would not have an orderly society.
