Restrictive Closing, Dress Rules Part of German University Life
By Jerry Kern
With the AWS rules convention approaching in March much talk is going around about the reform of restrictions on women students. Is the University acting as babysitter for KU women? Are these women suffering from a cloistered atmosphere brought about by social restrictions?
According to Jane Kadlec, Kansas City. Mo., junior, the situation could be much worse.
THIS CPINION may seem unbelievable, but Miss Kadlee is qualified to make her statement by experiences she had while attending an American-operated university in Munich, Germany, for three years.
The school, an extension of the University of Maryland, offers a two-year program with an Associate of Arts degree to children of U.S. military and other government personnel stationed in Germany. Between 500 and 700 American students attend this school. Miss Kadlee said. Although American methods of education are used, the school is staffed by a European faculty.
"IT SEEMED the school placed restrictions on everything," she continued. "If a girl was late getting in, she had to spend one night of the weekend in the dorm. We were given a total allowance of three minutes for the semester. If a girl was late too often, she had to spend the entire weekend in the dorm except to attend
"We girls were not allowed to wear slacks outside the dorms—only skirts. I guess we were carrying the American image with us and were supposed to impress the Germans. On weekdays we had to be in the dorm by 10:30 p.m., and lights were turned out by 11 p.m. This time was extended to midnight on weekends," Miss Kadlec said.
church. You'd be surprised how church attendance went up."
Miss Kadlee admits she received her share of "weekends" as the girls referred to them. Strangely enough, she ended up as president of the Protestant Youth Fellowship at the school.
Besides the rigid closing hour restrictions, Miss Kadlec told of quiet hours which had to be observed in the dormitories from 7 to 10 p.m. During this time, no talking was allowed, no records, radios, or televisions were heard, she said. She also pointed out that there is no probation system. Once a student flunks out, he must remain out for at least a semester before his re-entry can be considered.
ALTHOUGH MOST of the personnel attending the school were with the military, Miss Kadlec's father was not. He is deputy district director of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Agency at Kansas City. He is ollanning to move back to Germany for a short term near the end of this month. The family will join him there this summer.
The students lived in old World War II barracks which had been remodeled and converted into dormitories. The women's dormitories were located across the street from the soldiers barracks.
"This presented an interesting situation of course. The men would stare at us from their burracks windows, so we would get some binoculars and stare back. This didn't happen too often, though, because we had what we called shade restrictions. All
Enrollment at KU between fall 1948 and spring 1952 declined more than 38 per cent—from 9,750 to 6,51—due to the decreasing number of veterans enrolling in the University.

shades in the girls' dorms had to be kept shut at night! This is one of the few things I got a perfect on," Miss Kadlee said.
SHE DESCRIBED the men and women students as normal American students who, regardless of the restrictions still liked to cut up and release their youthful tensions in a good beer party.
"I recall that beer finally had to be brought onto the campus because too many of the boys were making fools of themselves off-campus with the German 12 per cent beer."
The event everyone looked forward to was the Oktoberfest. Twelve tents with plenty of beer stored in each were set up in a field. A band played in the middle of the field. This was the last big party before everyone settled down to the serious business of another school year, she said.
MISS KADLEC pointed out
that there were some good points about the school. For example, the experience gained by having European professors was helpful, she said.
"Still another advantage is that students are given much more consideration in Germany as 'ar as prices are concerned. Student rates for shows, transportation, tours, and other entertainment were cheaper," she said.
"Another advantage was that we met many different people who have traveled a lot. My four roommates came from Stuttgart, Germany; Rota, Spain; Paris; and Morocco. It was not unusual to hear two or three American students conversing in Greek.
