Dutch Student Recalls War
Jan Werner, a junior from Amsterdam, Holland, lived through the German occupation during World War II in the city where Anne Frank lived in hiding and began her famous diary.
Werner was two years old when war broke out in September of 1339. He was too young to realize the full meaning of the war, but he was not too young to be aware of the occupation of Amsterdam.
Those were the years of the 8 p.m. curfew, no fuel, the bravery of the underground, irregular school because of supply shortages and a fear which changed into resignation as time went by.
"The Dutch people were never more attached to each other than during these years," Werner said. "Years will have to go by before their resentment will die out."
The Germans left Amsterdam on May 4, 1945. But before they departed they lined up groups of people and shot them. Then they zoomed out of town on their trucks and bicycles and motorcycles. Next day the Canadians, British and Americans came to town.
Werner is taking courses in advertising at KU. He will return to Holland in June and enter the Dutch Army Air Force. Eventually he wants to work in an advertising agency.
Somewhere in his schedule he will find time to be married. His girl is waiting for him back in Amsterdam.
"I would like to return to America." he said.
Jan Werner
Werner says that America is not what he expected it to be. He felt the people here might be brash and overbearing, but he finds
Americans are not too different from his friends in Holland.
"Young people here are more casual and informal." he said. "The atmosphere in Holland is not so relaxed. And the people here have more money.
He said that people here talk more about the threat of Communism and are more afraid of it than he would have expected. In Holland there is not such a fear.
"The ratio between bicycles and cars is reversed in the two countries. We have as many bikes back home as you have cars."
"The Dutch man in the street relies on America. We look up to you. We do not like to read about the problems of segregation. This is one part of American life that is despised."
An important mirror of American life for foreigners is the motion picture. Werner mentioned that he has enjoyed such pictures as "On the Waterfront," "12 Angry Men," and "Bachelor Party," in which America has indulged in self-criticism.
Werner is sold on the American educational system. He feels the over-all structure is broader here.
"There is a closer relation between the student and the teacher," he said. "The American system of testing is different. The oral exam is more common in Europe, and written essay questions are much longer. More details are required there."
University Players Rehearse Melodrama
Dr. Canuteson said more students and faculty members should take advantage of free flu shots available at the Student Health Center.
that Asian flu is present in this country.
The response to the flu shots has been only "moderate," he said.
A class after-the-play coffee will be held at the Dine-A-Mite. All Senior women who attend the play and coffee will have closing hours extended until midnight. Transportation to both events will be arranged through senior house representatives.
The third Senior Class activity will be the "Second Nighter" play night. The class of '59 will see "The King and I" next Tuesday.
"All we have had is a light run of colds." Dr. Canuteson said. "There has not been a single illness diagnosed as influenza."
Seniors must pick up play tickets at the University Theatre Box Office before Saturday in order to get seats in the reserved Senior Section. Both K.U. and Senior ID cards must be presented for a ticket. The senior section will have 300 seats.
Seniors Get Tickets For Play Night
"A case of flu can easily spoil a Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday," he said. "People on the campus should take precautions now to insure against flu for these periods."

However, Dr. Canuteson said the Public Health Service has warned
The University Players are rehearsing this year's melodrama, "Ten Nights in a Barroom," which will run Nov. 17 through Nov. 22 in the Experimental Theatre of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the Student Health Center, said today that there is no indication of any actual flu at KU presently, but warned students and faculty members to get their flu shots as a precautionary measure.
Last year at this time, the campus was in the grips of a severe Asian flu epidemic.
"This year, even more than in the past, the Players are striving for historical authenticity in their production."
The show is steeped in the color and atmosphere of America's 19th century drama. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and director of the play, said:
