8 Wednesday, April 20, 1977 University Daily Kansan Graffiti spreads the word Bv MISSY PETERSON and Staff Reporters The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls, according to a Simon and Garfunkel song, but KU prophets have found a more appropriate canvas—on campus in the Mr-vin Hall bathrooms and the dark recenses of Wakson An unknown prophet scribbled this on a desk deep in the stacks of Watson: "Our fervor to embrace the science—it is our only salvation, and it as also is our major mission." Grafitti is the world's oldest art form, and one that probably hasn't progressed much since it began several centuries ago. It may revert to drawing graphic illustrations of the human annoty once of prehistoric horses, but self-expression has grown more important on the writing on today's walls. ALTHOUGH NO one really knows what motivates a person to scribble his thoughts on walls and desks, some "artists" try to explain it with graffiti of their own. *Why do people write on bathroom walls?* asks a gifted artist in women's clothing. She was answered with, "Self expression and relief from mental frustration." If frustration is indeed manifested in graffiti, the night owls who inhabit Marvin's apartment have been on the run. "THERE ARE children starring in Biafra," lamented a latrine artist in Marvin, "but at least they get enough sleep." "Have you ever tried sleeping when you're starving?" another asked. Another sentiment, frequently voiced by women all over campus, found its way to the University of Oklahoma. At 3 a.m. it strikes me—why don't you just get married, have kids and say to hell with this." The response that followed was less than hopeful. "Because you would still be up at 3 a.m. but it would be worse." The plight of many architecture students is expressed in various ways on Marvin's website: "To create or not to create what is original." A plea at a sleepless student perhaps expresses a sentiment that runs through the room. "If only we could all expire the day after graduation and end our lives with one friend." "TO LIVE, really live, is the consummation of existence; to half-life is to fail utterly, it is to die standing—or die drafting." Oedipus, Please come home. all is forgiven. MODEL: Or this one probably by a psychology major: "Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?" There are many dominating themes in graffiti depending on who is doing the scribbling. Someone with a liberal arts background probably inscribed this note in Murphy Hall. PHILOSOPHICAL debates are always popular on walls and desktops. One writer proclaimed, "The otherness of the Universe is the joy of the derived self." A comment nearby read, "Nietzsche, turn over in your grave." Others expound on reality and drugs, and how one reacts with the other. "Reality is a crutile for those who can't with drugs, or 'Marijuana consumes your brain.'" Some try to bring religion into their writings. Someone in Watson asked, "What is this? What is that?" Foreign student rise expected to continue Stinson said Monday that the increase was due to the fact that people throughout the world were trying to upgrade their education. Enrollment of foreign students at the University of Kansas will continue to increase in the coming years, according to Jim Stinson, foreign students admissions There are 1,207 foreign students enrolled in the University this semester and 59 others. The trend of increased enrollment of foreign students began in fall 1974, he said. The number of foreign graduate students at KU has remained consistent, but the number of undergraduates enrolling has increased markedly. IN 1976, Stinson received 2,299 accept- ed, of which 1,264 were accepted. STINSON SAID that in fall 1974, 317 undergraduate foreign students enrolled and graduated. Foreign undergraduates now outnumber foreign graduate students, Simson said, and since 1971 there has been a 201 per cent increase in foreign undergraduate foreign undergraduates enrolling at KU. Foreign students usually send letters of inquiry to the University, Stinson said, and his office responds by sending an application and a packet of material about KU Foreign students must meet several requirements before they can be accepted "Our admissions criteria are a little higher than most of the institutions around here," Stinson said, and the foreign students accepted here are among the best students in their native countries, most of whom are in a high equivalent of a high B average in college. "We must be satisfied they can demonstrate proficiency in the English Language." Sinnison said. If a student can't meet the standards required, he must attend the Applied English Center, which teaches foreign students to improve their English training program to foreign students. A FOREIGN student must be academically qualified to enter KU, he said, but the study programs are any, are looked at. No standardized tests are required for foreign students, but most countries give students a standardized test equivalent to American standardized tests. $4.50 "MOST OF THE applicants are from oirlrich countries," Stinson said, most coming from the Middle East, North Africa, Nigeria and Venezuela.

Open 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Daily "There are 88 different countries represented at the University at the present time," Stinson said, the largest group, 273 students, is from Iran. "We look at the national exam scores," Stirson said. "It gives us an indication of how the student compares with the whole country." A foreign student also must demonstrate the financial ability to support himself for each 12 month period he is in the United States, including paying nonresident KU tuition. Agencies in foreign countries have lists of preferred American universities they recommend to students who want to study in the United States, he said, and KU is highly recommended, along with such schools as Harvard, MIT and other institutions. Fundations based on the academic programs and reputations of the schools. "A lot of the foreign students are on government scholarships, especially from the oil countries," Stinson said. "Most students from Iran, however, are not on scholarship," financing their educations with private resources. Another agreed with those who wrote, "was sus, but decided not to let it end there." "Jesus saves . . . But Mankowitz gets the rebound, and scores!" someone added. "Man created alcohol. God created marijuana. Whom do you trust?" Another prevalent theme on walls around campus is sex, or the lack of it. A frustured male in Watson wrote, "Would some people have been ashamed of the shoulder and kiss me passionately?" An equally frustrated female sitting nearby seemed to have the same problem. "Sexual satisfaction is hard to find," she wrote. "I wish my libido would fly away and set me free. Then, perhaps I could do my chemical." Another lonely scribbler sitting in the secluded stacks of Watson, who may have been reading too many letters to the editor and wrote, "Why don't we do it in the cubicle." The infamous Nugent has become an entity of graffiti all his own, while biting many a desktop and bathroom wall for several years. One student, apparently tired of the familiar character, scribbled a new sentence, the familiar character: "Nugent weart dens." FILMS Dir. Clarence Badger with Raymond Griffin, Classical Film Series. Wed., April 2: 7:30 p.m., 75c Cubicles, desktops and bathrooms will continue to be the target of writers seeking a medium in which to express themselves. If confused about this scribbling, look to examples of graffitic advice: "Never clarify today what you can observe tomorrow." AN OCCASIONAL desk scribbler will even manage to the God of drugs.

This series of Armoe messages has talked about your job—how low profits, scarcity energy, overregulation, and other less affirmative action for equal rights may hurt your chance of finding the job you want. Each of these issues will have an impact on America's ability to create the 18,000,000 more jobs we'll need over the next ten years. We believe it's important for everybody to think about these issues from several points of view. The economics and technology involved, as well as the politics. Too often, most of us think about each of America's many goals in a vacuum. We isolate one at a time and propose solutions. Carrying out those "solutions" often creates new problems for us. It's also the where all the other needs suffer. Who would have thought that making energy cheap would lead to an energy crisis . . . or that efforts to save it from a one form would create it in another? We Americans also tend to isolate ourselves in little groups, when it comes to many issues. We put on one hat at a time, becoming partisans who consider those who disagree as enemies. We'd like to make a suggestion. Could we all try a little harder to work together? FREE--Armco's plain talk on how to get a job We've got a free booklet to help you get a job. Use it to set yourself apart, above the crowd. We answer 50 key questions you'll need to know. Like why you should bone up on companies you like. What to do after the first interview. Hints to make you a more aggressive, attractive job candidate.

Plain talk about COOPERATION At Armoe, we're working with many people to try to get things done. We're asking government officials—local, state and national—what they want us to do to help them in their work. We're showing them what we need to keep our plants running and people on the ground. "We can't." We hope other people will stop saying: "You must! We ought to both start saving; 'Let's work together'."

But we're trying to look at each issue thoughtfully, so we can at least discover the pertinent questions.
