From Europe to Japan
Globe-Trotting Student Earns Two Degrees, Works on Third
With memories of a trip through Europe last year, a KU special student now looks forward to a stay in Japan.
But Charles Woodson, of Wichita, has not let any dust settle during his globe-trotting since he has already obtained two degrees and is working on a third.
He is completing work for his master's degree in psychology. He already has a bachelor of arts degree in psychology-philosophy and a bachelor of science in electrical engineering.
"While in Japan, I hope to do some studying at Sophia University in Tokyo," he said.
Woodson plans to leave the middle of next month for Japan, where he will teach in Nippon Christian College for two years.
Last summer, Woodson toured a large portion of Europe with some friends.
"The trip was financed by a Chicago businessman who wanted me to take his son through Europe," Woodson said.
"Probably one of the most significant parts of the trip was when we went into the Russian sector of Germany and were met by a friend of mine who attends Moscow University."
Woodson said he became acquainted with the Russian youth through an amateur radio hookup. Woodson is a radio "ham" and a member of the American Radio Relay League, a national organization of radio amateurs.
"Our trip carried us into Belgium, Western Germany, Egypt Bulgaria, and East Germany and Berlin.
"We travelled with my Russian friend and stayed in the homes of the people where we visited," he said.
Woodson said the people of the

satellite countries were "cool" to foreigners at first.
"But after visiting and spending some time with them and speaking their language, they became very friendly. We even got invited out to dinner in several homes."
Charles Woodson
Woodson said his biggest problem on the trip was interpreting languages.
"Along with my friend from Russia, a Bulgarian boy and a boy from Egypt joined our group. Since I was the only one who could speak three languages, they depended on me for the translating."
Woodson said he is often asked about the personality of his Russian friend.
"He is a smart, dedicated boy who is lukewarm to Communism.
"An example of this is when my camera was confiscated. He loaned me his and helped me get the pictures I wanted."
"But I think he was still loyal to his country. He was ashamed, however, of many of the regulations imposed by his country upon us."
Woodson said he is unsure as to his plans following the Japan venture, but he may come back to KU to continue his studies.
