'France Is Wonderful
Country-Allen Michelet
An American in Paris, Tours
and the University of Poitiers.
These words might be used to
describe Allen Michelete, a Uni
versity student majoring in
French.
Nichelete went to France in
1950 on the Bill of Rights in order
approximated 40 kilometers south
of the city of Tours. Nichelet said
that the University of Poitiers is
in the heart of one of the most
beautiful parts of France. He
added that this portion of the
country is known as the "Valley
of the Loire" aid "is truly the
Garden of France."
Michelet said that the Univer
sity itself is run in a more or
less progressive manner. He
explained that each course is
planned on an elesaentry, inter
mediate, and superior basis. 'He
Inge Feldhahn, Med Technician Student,
Meets German Mother After Four Years
A reunion after four years.
American-born Inge Feldhahn,
University medical technician stu
dent, has been reunited with her
German mother, Mrs. Gertrude
Feldhahn. Miss Feldhahn had not
seen her mother for four years.
International strife and fate
transformed her family into
something of a world organiza
tion. Miss Feldhahn is an Amer
ican, ber mother, a German
citizen, and ber father, a natural
ized Australian.
Miss Feldhahn was born in
Teaneck, N. J., 23 years ago,
shortly after her parents had
migrated from Germany. The
Feldhahns were obliged to return
to Germany with their baby. Their
intention was to return to the
United States as soon as possible,
but a depression in Germany in
terfered with their plans. As a
result of the German depression,
the Feldhahns savings were soon
exhausted, and they found that
they were unable to leave Europe.
In desperation, Feldhahn, a
civil engineer, accepted a position
in Persia (now Iran). He left Ger
many only a week before Hitler's
ascent to power. Mrs. Feldhahn
and Inge spent a year and a half
in Iran but were back in Germany
when war broke out beginning
another era of hardship and dis
couragement. Miss reldhahn's father had
remained In Iran and was in
terned there by the British in
1941. He was then sept to Aus
tralia where he spent the rest of
the war In internment. The
country appealed to him and
after bis release in 1945, he de
cided to stay and become a
citizen, He now owns a farm
there.
During the war years in Berlin,
Miss Feldhahn was evacuated sev
eral times with school groups to
escape allied bombing. Her mother
was once trapped in a collasping
building.
"It was all a terrible expe
rience,' Miss Feldhahn recalls. "I
certainly wouldn't want to go
through it again."

said that when a student felt
that he could progress to a
higher level in his chosen
course, he could transfer into
that higher course.
Michelet said that the French,
training he received in the United
States helped him considerably.!
He added, however, that it took
him approximately three months
before the language "penetrated"
arid he could understand it as it
was spoken by the natives of the
country.
Michelet said that one of the
things that impressed him about
the country was the friendliness
and the helpfulness of the peo
ple. He said, "They received stu
dents in a very friendly way.
When we first go there, we had
trouble understanding the lan
guage sometimes; but, the people
were- very helpful and spoke
slowly so we could understand
them.
"In my estimation," com
mented Michelet," education
standards in France are a great
deal higher than they are in
the United States." He said that
a graduating high school stu
dent in France is usually two
years ahead of a student in that
, same category in the United
States. He said a reason for this
was the fact that the courses
in France were more general
ized and that students there
were more or less on their own.
After he had completed his
courses at Poitiers, Michelet
hitchhiked to England. He said
that he was able to see much of
England including some of the
bigger English cities such as Liv
erpool and London.
I Michelet said that while in
England, he purchased a motor
I cycle and toured most of Europe
The no., j . lnal way- ne aaaea inai many
The separation and waiting of;of the students he met in the Uni
lour long years ended Wednesday Wsity had invited him to stay in
i their homes, so he felt at home
in the countries he visited.
Michelet said he spent three
months touring different coun
tries of Europe including Den
mark, Norway, Sweden, Germany,
Switzerland, Italy, the French
Riviera and Paris.
Michelet commented that Swit-
ship. Discovery of this fact, ex
plained Miss Feldhahn, could have
been unfortunate.
After establishing her identity
in Berlin, she began medical
technician studies while await
ing a chance to come to the
United States. That opportunity
finally came in the spring of
1948. It was made possible by a
Lincoln girl who was affiliated
with the Berlin YWCA, Mar
garet Day (now Mrs. Carl G.
Anthoni).
