Vol. XIV, No.2 Pennsylvania State University, Delaware County Campus October 11, 1982 John Cardinal Krol speaking last Monday photo by Carl Vairo SEE THE WORLD Penn State Foreign Studies Program by Carol Stocku Since 1962, The Penn State University, has established Foreign Studies Programs throughout Europe, Africa, South America, and The Middle and Far East. Every year, ap- proximately three hundred Penn State students take ad- vantage of this program. According to Dr. Graves, " Foreign Studies Program con- sultant, every eligible student should try to take the advan- tage to study abroad. An eligible student is a regularly enrolled student in the university with an all- university average of at least 2.50. He must have had three courses in a foreign language, if the country is non-English speaking, and must have com- pleted the course prerequisites for the program in which he is planning to attend. : The group programs avail able to students vary in loca- tion and available courses. In Cologne, Germany, courses are specialized in Business Ad- ministration for twelve weeks at the University of Cologne. The instructions are in English. In Leeds, England, courses are directed towards Architecture, and Architectural Engineering conducted during the Spring Term at The University of Leeds. In Taipei, Taiwan, courses are offered in Chinese Literature, and history at the National Taiwan University during the Fall and Winter Terms. Instructions are in English. Yet at any of these or the other universities, almost any subject desired may be taken. For no transfer of credits is necessary since the student is still registered at Penn State while staying abroad. The living arrangements of the students differ with the ac- commodations of the university and with what the student prefers. Dormitories are the usual place of residence but - students can stay with private families, or in private apart- ments or student hostels. These arrangements are discussed when the student is applying, and after he has been accepted into the program. The tuition for the foreign studies programs are about the same as if staying at the University Park Campus. Room and board arrangements are based upon the standard double-room and board rates at University Park. The extra ex- penses are the program fee, and the round-trip air transporta- tion. Standard financial assistance is available for all of the programs. The foreign studies programs are oriented to benefit the Penn State student. They enhance the students acadeniic background. Provide the oppor- tunity to learn a different culture, country, and way of life, and add amplitude to a pro- fessional and personel develop- ment. The student matures, and gains a understanding perspective for other cultures and his own. : To enroll in the programs, the student should contact Dr. Graves. Her office is room 212 E, in the main building. There she has all the necessary pam- phlets and information for each program. An application should be filled out a year in advance, and the student must be in either their Junior or Senior Year during their time abroad. The Foreign Studies Pro- grams are experiences which many students will always remember. For the majority, the one or two terms abroad escaped from them too quickly. Once home, they wanted to go back and planning was begun for their next travel abroad.

The huge military spending budget will add to the national debt, the Cardinal said. The na- tional ‘debt, is predicted to be -over $180 billion by the end of the 1984 fiscal year and over $200 billion by the end of the 1985 fiscal year.

He was asked what would be the role of the Church in an arms reduc- tion talk. The Church is not at the moment acting as a mediator, he said, but he was speaking as a religious leader who is deeply concerned with the arms race. Cardinal Krol said he had ‘made the nuclear arms race his research project and among the many books he has read is ° Jonathan Schnell’s Fate Of The Earth, a book that, in detail, depicts the world after a nuclear holocaust. Cardinal Krol told the students in attendance that as young peo- ple they had the power to in- fluence the present policy on nuclear arms. He said that the ~ public should know about nuclear arms and work together to end the nuclear arms race. eke Heke ee ee de de dAdo ete de de dk dekh kk deo xX 7, 1982 IN THIS ISSUE +.+.....
