Book chronicles Nazis
By GAII. MIRQSTAW
Staff Writer
Two years ago Charles F. Sidman, chairman of the history of district, decided there were no books to cover Nazi Germany the way he wanted to.
So with the help of five German history graduate students, he put together a book that was more to his liking.
The book, "Inside Hitler's Germany," was published in August. Sidman and the students found historical essays, articles and some never-before-published materials to describe Germany during Hitler's control.
Sidman said Monday the story begins with reasons the German people were ready for Hitler, a man not insane, but "buzzy like a fox."
THE STORY evolves from the mood before Hitler's reign to the Nazi collapse.
Sidman explained that the widespread mood in Germany before Hitler's rise was one of a feeling of superior' y.
The German people came to expect in the 20th century that they would be in the lead, politically, intellectually and economically," he said.
Sidman said that after the Germans lost in World War I, the people thought
that there had to be a reason for the most talented people in the world to have just the war and that there was a world conspiracy against Germany, Germans thought the conspiracy was led by liberal democrats, communists and Jews, and that once they "took care of these" they would be world leaders.
INFLATION AND high unemployment added to the problems of the people of Germany. Sidman said these conditions made the people willing to listen to violence.
Hilter's "Give me a chance" attitude and his magnitude attracted people to him, Sidman said. Once Hilter was in prison, once he were sent to or destroyed.
The book continues, focusing on Hitler and his march to power, anti-seismic, life for the German people under Hitler, the Nazi crimes, Nazist death, and the Nuremberg trials.
These chapters explain both opposing and favorable views of the Nazi philosophy.
Sidman explained that his job was to tie all the information together.
"PEOPLE CAN'T imagine the hard work in deciding what articles to include, the order of articles and writing the links between each chapter," he said.
Sidman said the contents of some German archive documents were published for the first time in his book. One such document, Hitler's guestbook entry at a German family's home in 1920, shows his early ambition.
The entry says, "If no necessity. (Not of the world is able to break our iron will, then will our will and our iron break necessity."
Another piece of new material in the book is a police report of a secret meeting against Hitler.
Sidman also wrote introductory summaries of each chapter, and said he hoped the summaries and the chronological order would provide easy reading. The book will be required next year as students enrolling in his class start studying.
Sidman said he would not receive royalties from the book sales.
Sidman is now working on a new book and waiting for publication of another. Both books, written in German, are being published in Germany. Having a book published in Germany gives Sidman a feeling of satisfaction, he said.
"I like to be accepted by the people who I am writing about." he said.
John Snyder is a farmer from near McClouth and a sculptor on the University of Kansas art staff. He's also going to tell folk stories this Sunday.
Nysty will be joined by an Irish band, an old-time string band called the "Poverty Pocket Pickers," a Baldwin folk singer, and the KU Folk Dancing Club and others when the Kansas FolkCenter presents a show from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday at Off-the-Wall
Folktales highlighted in program
Steve Mason, an employee at the hall, said, "He's a great storyteller. Once he and I and a few friends were sitting out behind his barn drinking beer and he had us in stiches with his stories. So we decided to put him up on stage."
The Kansas Folklore center was formed about a year ago by Gloria Thorne, an owner of the hall. "It main function is to stimulate and encourage folk music and folklore," she said. "It serves as a clearinghouse for information about events, concerts and gatherings and organizes events like the annual fiddlers' gathering."
Two married couples, Steve and Harriet Lerner and Bob and Ann Nunley, will perform together. The Lerners sing and play folk music with guitars and the Numleys specialize in Latin American folk music, Mason said.
Culain, an Irish band, is planning a performance that includes Irish jigs, reels,
hornpipes and airs. Mason is a member of the band, along with four other persons and a coach from Ireland.
"Lots of Irish music is a direct predecessor of bluegrass music," he said.
This Sunday will be the band's fifth performance. Previously they have played in the Spencer Library auditorium and at Irish weddings, Mason said.
Rosy's Bar and Grill, a group of women who play guitars and auto harps, will also perform.
Students can study for a summer or an academic year in Europe, Asia and Central and South America. Countries offering programs include Germany, France, Russia and Spain. Only summer programs are offered in Brazil, Mexico and Vuelgosia.
Ll. Vic Strand of the KU police, said the police went to the hall to arrest the student who reportedly had been begging door-to-door on the fifth floor.
TWO NEW STUDY abroad programs have been established this year. A summer institute in Brazil was made possible by a grant from the State Department, she said.
"They sing radical feminist music, they aren't radically feminists," Mason said.
The student had already left the residence hall, however, and was walking past the O room. It was a crowded hall.
Student held on begging charge
An academic year program in Korea was made possible by a grant made in August by the Office of the Secretary.
The student, whose name was not released by police, was arrested near the O Zone parking lot after allegedly begging for money in Naimith牢底 a few minutes earlier.
A male University of Kansas student was mistreated Monday on charges of burgling, KU policing officers were charged.
Most programs also require some proficiency in the country's language, but this is not a big problem, said because they are designed to apply have the required language background.

These programs, similar to other institutions, emphasize both culture and research.

One fifth floor resident, who would not give his name, said the beggar had asked for food.
Strad said the man might have been the same person sought by KU police in connection with two begging incidents earlier in the day.
All a student needs is a B average and a yen for travel, according to Herzfeld. Some exceptions are made for students with lower grades.

Nursery begins refurbishment
Remedling began Monday on the future home of Children's Hour, Inc., 407 Maine St. Mary Kay Palmquaint, director of the nursery, said yesterday.
The nursery is now holding classes in the office building, Seventh and Vermont streets.
Palmquint said she accepted a new bid for the remodeling of the home for $15,000 by D.M.D. Construction. An earlier bid for $18,000 was rejected, she said, because the Douglas County Commission would not allocate the needed funds.
The Lawrence City Commission had earlier allocated $6,900 to the nursery for remodeling, and Palmquist said she had taken out a loan to pay the remainder of the cost.
Palmquist said the lower cost of the new contract resulted from omitting costs from the contract, as seen in painting, which she said she hoped volunteers would do.
It is not yet known who will replace her. The Sports Committee is responsible for electing a replacement.
She will remain a student senator and University Councilmember.
The remodeling should be completed by Nov. 8, she said.
Children's Hour also received an ample week of $100 in the memory of Nancy Jebus.
Johnson was killed Sept. 20 in a murder-suicide at her home, 824 Maine St. Palmquaint said the two Johnson children had attended Children's Hour.

Gruhaugh said last night that she resigned because she wanted to devote more time to her job as resident assistant at Gertrude Sellars Pearson residence hall.
"Aid is given on the basis of merit or grade point average and financial need. We are still negotiating to determine how much money we will have this year," Herfeld said.
Jill Grubbaugh, student senator, last night resigned her positions on the Sports Committee, including her positions as committee representative to StudEx and member of the Recreation Advisory Board and Allen Field House Utilization Board

THE AVERAGE cost of a year abroad is about $3,000. Students mistakenly think the programs are more expensive, Herzfeld said, when they actually do not cost any more than it would cost a student to attend KU for a year.

Summer programs cost approximately $1,500.
"This month is a sort of setting down time for the student. This way he knows where he is when he begins his actual study," she said.

One problem, according to Herffeld, was encountered by exchange students living with families abroad. This type of living arrangement was more common than Herffeld said the result was that most students now live in dormitories while studying abroad.
Herzfeld said deadlines for applying for some study programs are approaching. The deadline for the Costa Rica trip is December 1, and the last date to apply for the Great Britain program is February. Applications can be picked up in 108 Strong Hall.

Future study abroad programs include sessions in the West Indies or Trinidad and a revision of the program in Italy. Another possible project, according to Hertzfield, is a program of study in Great Britain for placement from the schools of education and arts.
Herzfeld said that approximately 250 students took part in study abroad at the University of Pennsylvania.

Few PROBLEMS have been encountered by KU students in other countries, she said.
It's a difficult decision whether to spend your time studying or getting to know the job.
All credits transfer directly to KU.
