TWO FOREIGN STUDENTS SPOKE TO
ROTARY AND P.-T. A. THURSDAY
People of this area, last Thurs-
day, had their first opportunity
to give foreign students an ini-
pression of the American way of
life, and at the same time, tai*<
to and learn the way of life in
two other countries, when Anna-
tra ,t Goeding of Mainburg, Ba
varia. Germany, and Ivy Coffey,
of New De’hi, India, were nre«-
ent at Rotary luncheon and at
the November meeting of local
Parent-Teachers Association.
Despite some language difficul
ty. these young women succeeded
remarkably in giving a com pa ri
«on, how they, as exchange stu-
dents were in this countiy to ob-
serve and study the American
methods not only of schools but
government as well.
Miss Goeding went to great
length in explaining the handi
caps facing the German scnools
of today, in which she is teacher.
She praised the American occu-
pation forces in their effort to
restore Germany, its schools, its
way of life, and yet not act as
conquerors. These forces are in-
deed careful whom they rely on
to lead in the restoration. Of the
500 teachers “screened” to
sent to America, only 35 s< c-
ceeded in passing the tests.
Miss Coffey, wearing a native
“sari,” less than five feet in
height, won the admiration of
everyone by her understanding
of world affairs. She told of the
difficulties facing her country in
its frst years of independence,
.of the language barriers, when
about 30 of them hinder prog-
ress. Religions are being over-
come as barriers.
Miss Coffey was asked about
her native language and showed
some of it, how letters were cre-

they are enrolled, called for any
questions. Both young ladies had
the floor longer in this part than
during their previous talks. Both
earnestly tried to answer every
question fully, honestly, and to
give the right picture to neople
of America.
Miss Goeding answered num
erous questions about the Rus
sians and Communism in Europe
today. She told how her own
family was forced to flee to the
American zone, with only the
clothes on their bodies. She told
inasfar as she could how the dif
ferent zones compared, always
praising highly the way Ameri
can forces were doing the job.
Both young ladies were given
invitations to return here when
their time would not be limited
to the program of the college. It |
is likely that both will find time
next spring to take that trip.
