Prof to seek German talent
Roger Welsch, NU assistant
professor of English, is going to
Germany for three weeks
starting Aug. 26 as the guest of
the Federal German Republic
and as a representative of the
Smithsonian Institute in
Washington, D.C.
Welsch, who teaches folklore
at NU, is one of eight
Americans who have been
assigned the task of seeking
"folk-talent" representative of
Germany for participation in
next year's "Folk Festival on
the Mall" in Washington. The
folk festival annually brings
representatives of cultures
from throughout the world to
the nation's capital for demon
strations of singing, dancing,
and various crafts and arts.
Welsch said that next year's
festival to be held in July, will
last three weeks. An important
part of the festival, Welsch .
said, is the inclusion of what is
termed a cognate community .
meaning a community drawn
from within the United States
which has its roots in an
overseas culture such as that of
Germany, Japan, or Ireland.
After his return from Germany,
Welsch will be involved in the
formation of a representative
cognate community and is
bopeful that he will be able to
draw upon people in the
Northern plains including Neb
raska, for participation in the
festival.
