Vast Unsettled Land Areas Impress Foreign Student Most
By PHILIP G. WILCOX
Hans Peterson, graduate student, is from Hamburg, Germany. He is 22, unmarried, and interested not only in an education, but also in learning about Americans and their ways of life.
I recently talked with a quiet, unassuming. K.U. student who has some interesting and different ideas about the University students, and the nation's educational system.
When asked to compare the systems of teaching here with those in Germany, Peterson said that in Germany students don't go to college to learn a specific vocation as most people do here. "Our schools are primarily for a liberal education, you study whatever you like, and attempt to broaden the mind and to prepare for any one of several situations. I consider training for one job more practical and closer to life."
In 1946 he headed a research team from the University of Chicago which surveyed Rockford, Ill. He has also done business and industrial relations research in Illinois and Indiana.
In citing general impressions of the United States, Hans said he noticed differences in the people of various sections of the country. He characterized the people of the East as being more continental in their habits, modes of living and speech. In contrast to this, he said that the people of the Mid West appear differently to Europeans. They aren't so friendly and are not too much concerned with things outside their immediate surroundings.
Peterson said that his most vivid impressions of the United States are the vastness of the country, and the great amounts of apparently unsettled land 'In the plains and southwest sections of the United
Charles Warriner, instructor in sociology, will be the 10th speaker in the weekly Sociology on the Air at 9:45 am. Sunday over KLWN.
After receiving his master's degree in sociology from the University of Chicago, he engaged in research. He joined the University faculty in 1948.
Warriner Is 10th Speaker
States, it seems you can travel forever and go no distance at all" he commented.
Peterson said that the American philosophy of life is mystifying to most Europeans. "The people, no matter what their economic status, all seem to be cheerful, and seem to be able to laugh off the realities of life when they become too severe. Most Americans are easy-going, but they work very hard for a short time and then relax. They have an energetic approach to any type of constructive work, and are readily adaptable to almost any new situation."
'Ham' Beneke Likes To Play Here
Tex Beneke likes to play at K.U.
While so many colleges like the bouncy rhythm, he said, students here prefer the smoother varieties
Peterson said that he expects to return to Germany next fall, but that he wants to come back and continue studying.
Cellist To Give Senior Recital
Maurice Pollom, cellist, will present his senior recital at 4 p.m. Sunday in Strong auditorium. The recital is open to the public.
Mr. Pollom is a student of Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of cello. He served three and one-half years in the army, one year of which was spent as a special student at the Conservatoire de Musique in Nancy, France. He has been a member of the University Symphony orchestra during his four years here.
The program will include "Sonata in D minor" (Corelli), "Concerto in B flat major" (Boccherini), "Aria" (Purcell), "Andante" (Bach), and "Sonata No.1 in E minor" (Brahms).
Profs' Complaints 'Boomerang As Students Take Action
Cleveland, Ohio (U.P.)-Students at
Fenn college here hit back when
professors criticized them for their
hard-to-read handwriting.
The editor of the student paper announced formation of a committee of students to improve the professors' penmanship.
"In many cases," he said, "professors have turned in items that they wished published but even after gathering the entire editorial staff we were unable to decode the signatures, let alone the contents."
One of the complaining professors conceded that handwriting is no indication of intelligence, scholarship or personality traits.
