A Dutch Lad Wouldn't!
Would You Run If This Dutch Girl Said She Loved You?
By MARYBETH LANE
"Rock and roll is utterly distasteful," says Ann Tadema, a blue-eyed, 19-year-old freshman from Holland.
"Maybe the teenagers are looking for something," she continued. "There is so much conformity of thinking here that American youth seem to be at a loss more than other young people."
"They're nuts about anything that is new. They're looking for something that will say 'I'm me.' for some means of expressing their own individuality. Dutch teenagers want to excel, American youth to conform."
ANN (DUTCHY) TADEMA
Miss Tadema is living at Miller Hall and attending KU on a Fulbright Travel Grant. About 20 of these scholarships are awarded each year in Holland from about 2,000 applications.
"I'm having a fabulous experience here, although the climate and food were strange at first," "I love hamburgers. We don't have them in Holland. We have no potato chips
and little pop corn. There are lots more sweets and candy in Holland."
American Movies Scorned "American movies are looked upon very scornfully in Europe," Miss Tadema said. "There are some good ones, of course. Only a few movies are made each year in European countries, but these are excellent."
Miss Tadema's full name is Ann Elizabeth Tadema, but she likes to be called Dutchy because it's a friendly name."
During Christmas vacation, she cared for two children in a Kansas City, Mo. home.
"I wanted to see a real American Christmas and to earn some money," she said.
"In Holland, everything is organized into clubs because there is no space to start your own sports activities." Miss Tadema said.
She was a member of her school hockey and softball teams, the tennis club and the rowing and sailing club. She has learned to play golf at KU. She also plays the piano, tap dances, and likes to sing popular songs.
MARGIE "There is no dating stance in the states when a boy and girl don't think of marriage," Miss Tadema said.
"If I told an American boy I was in love with him, he would fall over and run away because I wanted to marry him. If I said that to a boy in Holland, he might say he loved me but we wouldn't think of marrying."
"If an American boy doesn't want to marry a girl, he goes with a lot of other girls. If he likes her, he pins her in a week and within a year, they're married. That's why they marry so young here."
"I rode my bike to school every day. In Holland, the boy comes on his bike for a date. You sit on the back even in your formal. If
Liberal Arts For These Freshmen
WINSTON-SALEM. N.C. - (IP)
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — (IP) Under the new Wake Forest curriculum set-up, effective this year all students will be enrolled in liberal arts during their freshman and sophomore years. Upon completion of the basic courses the student will then enter one of the college's several schools for specialization during his junior and senior years.
Some of the basic requirements have not been changed: history, eight hours of any one of the three natural sciences and two hours of physical education are still required. The new course includes three hours of mathematics for all students, three hours of ancient philosophy, and six hours of either sociology or political science. Every student must also take or present the equivalent of credits for a foreign language.
In order to prevent undue delay in meeting the basic requirements, freshmen must sign up for a minimum of 12 hours of required subjects; after the first year, a minimum of 9 hours is required until the basic course is completed.
The last two college years will also hold other courses closely related with the student's major. There will be no requirement of a minor. A course of study including the major and related subjects must include a minimum of 42 hours beyond the basic course requirements, while not more than 40 hours may be taken in a single field of study.
One hundred twenty-eight hours will be required for graduation—an increase of four hours—allowing a student from 20-34 hours of electives. Each candidate for graduation must present as many points as hours attempted, instead of hours passed.
he is 18 and gets his father's car,
he packs it full of kids."
Miss Tadema plans to work in France as a housekeeper-nurse next fall.
"That is very commonly done in Holland," she said.
E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Dow Chemical Co., the Mid-West Research Institute, and Bell Telephone Laboratories sent speakers this last fall.
Well-known chemical firms from all over the country are sending speakers to the Chemistry Club meetings this year.
Well-Known Speakers Enliven Chemistry Club
Featured speakers this spring will be from the Food & Drug Administration, Cook Paint & Varnish Co. and J. F. Prittchard Construction Co.
They attended the Urban Renewal Institute sponsored by the National Urban League at which representatives from St. Louis, the two Kansas Citys, Wichita, Omaha and Denver — presented the problems they are facing in eliminating blighted areas and replacing them with modern houses or converting them to business or public uses.
Two Participate In Housing Talks
E. Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology, and Paul Brotsman, associate professor of social work, took part in a round table discussion on urban housing problems Monday and Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas has five state colleges, two municipal universities, fourteen private colleges, fourteen public junior colleges, and six two-year colleges.
Topics vary
Topics range from where paints
and varnishes are used to subjects like artificial crystal growth. One speaker this spring will even tell how dry ice is made. The students also learn about the latest in chemical processes such as gas phase chromatography.
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is located on the campus of New York University on University Heights in the Bronx, New York. N.Y. The Hall and adjoining buildings were built with funds contributed by the late Mrs. Finley J. Shepard. Only persons dead 25 years or more are now eligible.
These speakers have brought a renewed interest in the club as well as a larger membership.
To Hear 'Engineer's Dream'
James H. McMechan, Independence, Mo., junior, has written letters to these companies asking for these speakers. Sometimes speakers come from companies at which the members of the club have worked during the summer.
The club officers entertain the speaker in the evening before the meeting. If the speaker arrives during the day, the faculty shows him around Malott and entertains him at the Faculty Club.
Dr. Charles R. Mischke, associate professor of mechanical engineering, will be guest speaker at a dinner meeting of Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity, at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Dr. Mischke will speak on the "Engineer's Dream." The talk is one in a series of talks on professional development sponsored by the fraternity.
