German Field Day Tomorrow To Mix State Teachers, Pupils
Sorensen, who is secretary of the AATG, said. "We want to show what we hope a student will have in the way of language background before he comes to KU so he won't have to repeat. We will show them what to work for."
Sorenson said 85 students from 13 Kansas high schools will compete in German examinations, both oral and written, and will be awarded prizes for their performance.
THE FIELD day competition is being held in conjunction with the first meeting of the newly formed Kansas Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG), Sorensen said.
The German Field Day tomorrow will bring together high school students and teachers of German from the entire state, Otto Sorensen, instructor of German, said.
A panel composed of German professors from four Kansas colleges will discuss the placement problem. Panel members are: Alfred Goesl, lecturer in German representing KU; Prof. Richard Clark, Kansas State University; Prof. Frank Buschman, Hutchinson Junior College; and Prof. Allan Cress, Wichita State University.
THE PANEL discussion, which will be in English, will follow a speech in German by "Max Kade
Distinguished Professor of German," Gerhard Storz, visiting professor of German.
Prof. Storz's speech will be, "Fragwuerdigkeit der Klassizitaet?" ("Questionability of Classicism") Prof. Storz, who for six years was the minister of cultural affairs in one of Germany's largest states and therefore responsible in part for the curriculum to be carried in the schools, will discuss whether German classes should read the German classics by Goethe and Schiller today.
PROF. HUELSBERGEN said Prof. Storz plans to be brief and to stimulate discussion among the teachers. The lecture will be at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union.
The two groups will join for lunch at 12:15 in the Big Eight Room after the lecture and discussion and see a demonstration of language teaching techniques used at the Kansas State School for the Blind.
Music during the luncheon will be provided by George Barisas, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and Danny Davidson, Wichita senior. Barisas will play the guitar and Davidson the accordion.
Prof. Huelsbergen said a color film entitled, "Der Hauntmann von
Keopenick," would be shown after lunch at 1:30 in the Jayhawk Room.
SORENSEN said the film is a German comedy which was attacked by the Nazis because it made a mockery of the subservience of the German people to the Prussians.
"It is the story of a poor man who has been in and out of prison several times and who couldn't get a work permit because of this," Sorensen said.
The poor man noticed one day how people respected a uniform, Sorensen said. So he goes into a used clothes store and buys a used officer's uniform. After purchasing an officer's uniform, he then takes over a platoon of Prussian soldiers. He takes them to the city hall of Koepenick, a suburb of Berlin, he explained.
HE TAKES over the town, but is ultimately caught. However, the Kaiser at the time also had a sense of humor and sees to it that he isn't prosecuted." Sorensen said.
Prizes will be awarded to the high school students at 3:15 in the Jayhawk Room after the film. Sorensen said they hoped to present savings bonds to the first place winners in each division and book prizes to second and third place winners. The public is invited to all events.
