German Instructor, Student Are Comparing Languages
The first exchange student from Germany to be enrolled at the University since 1939 has as an instructor one of the University's last exchange students to Germany before the war.
Werner Winter, from a small village about 20 miles outside Hamburg, Germany, is the student, and Sam F. Anderson, instructor in German, is the instructor. Both are comparative philologists, persons who compare languages, specializing in Indo-German languages.
Mr. Anderson was an American exchange student at the University of Munich in 1938 and 1939. At the present time he is working on a translation of the sacred books of India from Sanskrit into English.
The first interview was with German university authorities, and the next with university officers of the Military Government. The applications approved by these officers and the persons' qualifications were forwarded to the Institute of International Education in New York. The institute sent the applications to various colleges and universities throughout the country, and the
Winter applied to the Military Government in Germany for permission to become an exchange student in March of this year. He then began a series of elimination tests and interviews which were designed to screen 115 students from 10,000 applicants.
After the war, he returned to his home and began harvesting crops to get money to continue his education. In 1947 he entered the University of Berlin, Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. in June, 1949.
Winter, a graduate student in languages, was graduated from the University of Hamburg in 1942, and immediately drafted by the German army, put in the military intelligence because of his training in languages, and sent to the Eastern front as an interpreter in Russian.
schools make the final selections.
Winter crossed the Atlantic ocean on an army troop transport, and was chairman of the exchange student's group on the trip. He landed in New York on Sept. 3, and spent a week visiting eastern universities, such as Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. He visited Washington, D.C., and said he was amazed at the contrast between the beautiful government buildings and the ugliness of the surrounding residential area.

Due to his work with the Russian prisoners, Winter feels that those who expect an internal revolution in Russia are overly optimistic. He said the Russians of this generation are thoroughly indoctrinated with orthodox Communism and they believe theirs is the best system.
Winter expects to be at the University a year and then return to Germany to teach and do research.

Phelps Discusses Racial Problems
Kermit Pholps, graduate student, spoke on "Psychological Aspects of Racial Discrimination" at a meeting of the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy recently.
Mr. Phelps described racial discrimination under three main aspects, the traditional theory, the theorema theory, and the convergence theory.
The traditional theory argues that there is something in the discriminated minority group which brings out hatred in the majority group.
Official Bulletin
The scapegoat theory states that hostility is generated from a frustration of the discriminated group which leads to aggression. The aggression is then displaced and reverts onto the discriminated group.
The convergence theory is an attempt to resolve the dilemma. Both groups should recognize that prejudice exists on the part of both groups and the matter should be arbitrated from there.
