German Stu By America, By JACKIE On the campus this year, sti languages, is Gerhard Nickel Gerhard was born in Uppei until 1944, when he entered t to France and Poland. At the enc of the war he was captured in Den. mark and held for one year. With no possessions, except hi: uniform and a handkerchief, he re turned to Germany. Although his mother is still held in Silesia be hind the "iron curtain," Gerhard and the rest of his family were re united in Bavaria, where their home is now. At Carolina Gerhard is prepar ing his master's thesis on American literature and doing work on his doctor's degree for Germany. He attended secondary school in Si lesia, the college of Philosophy and Theology in Bamberg, Frederic Alexander University in Erlangen, and Maximilian University in Munigne. For a short while this summer he went to Columbia Uni versity in New York. The young German speaks French and English and has studied Latin and Italian. He plans to apply for a professor ship in languages here or in Ger many. 'The American people, according to Gerhard, have very short memories. It is amazing to him that the people he fought against can he so friendly now. If the Germans had been the victors, he says, they would still have some feeling. Not only arc the Americans for getful, he states, but they are triendly and optimistic. The con tast between the pessimism of Eu rope and the optimism here is vivid, for people over here have more of a happy-go-lucky attitude. There is a politeness and friendliness in America, he says, that is not gen erally found in (;ormany, Gerhard is evidently becoming a good Southerner, for he said that he likes the South more than the North. Both places, he ass(rts, are wonderful, but the North is filled with more reticent and conservative people. The blond German was aston ished at American customs. The skyscrapers in New York were overwhelming, drive-in theaters were new, :ndi football was con futsig. Wuomen1 1 in Eurole, he pointed .u 1 d oot have as much freedom thiee in America.
