University of Kansas Chancel lor Robert Hemenway addressed Congress on Wednesday to advocate a proposed national study abroad bill.
STUDY ABROAD Chancellor travels to Congress to promote bill
The legislation, the Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act of 2007, would create a national fellowship program to boost the number of students studying abroad from about 200,000 to 1 million. The bill would also aim to send students to nontraditional locations and ensure the study abroad population reflected diverse student populations.
"Study abroad gives students a great understanding that will help them compete and lead in a global marketplace." Hemenway said.
In an official statement, Hemenway said studying abroad was vital to enhancing students' educations.
The University received the Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization in 2005. KU also has a five-year goal to raise study abroad participation from 26.2 percent, the current rate, to 40 percent among undergraduate students

RELATIONSHIP WOES Transvestite accused of misleading partner
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even in the messy legal world of dividing property after a failed romance, this case was exceptional.
A Jackson County judge was asked to consider whether a transvestite had misled a former male fiance into believing she was a woman.
Griggs wanted the judge to remove Garcia's name from a deed to a $2,000 house they co-own. He also gave Garcia a $2,500 engagement ring, but didn't ask for it back.
Ferris Griggs of Kansas City, Kan., sued Josie Garcia of Kansas City, claiming that Garcia had defrauded him by pretending to be a woman.
Jackson County Judge J.D. Williams said in issuing his ruling that both sides had serious credibility issues.
Garcia, who goes by the name Cindy, testified that Griggs knew all along that she was a man, and that they often had sex during a relationship that lasted many months. Garcia dressed as a woman in court.
He ordered lawyers to work on selling the house and dividing the money between the two
