Units of people were organized and taught drills using spades instead of rifles. "We used the spades to dig defense trenches. Then we'd have to clean the spades just like with rifles," he said. Schneider described his personal thoughts of Hitler's regime. , "In the first couple of years - 1933 through 1934 - it looked like things would be better for Ger many," Schneider said.

At the beginning of the war, Schneider said his father forbade him to listen to English radio for fear he would repeat what he had heard. "No one trusted anyone else," he said.

During the war Schneid er was wounded and taken as an American prisoner of war to Darmstadt, Ger many. Soldiers in his unit tried to be taken prisoner by the Americans rather than the Russians, he said. "Most of us would not have surrend ered to the Russians. We couldn't have survived Rus sian camps." After Schneider's release from the American prison camp, he pursued his edu cation at the University of Munster and Tubingen. In 1954, he earned his doctrate in mathematical logic. However, Schneider said he was unhappy with his advancement in the adminis tration at the University of Munster. A former UNL faculty member in the math department met Schneider, he said, and asked him to come to the university to teach. In 1957, Schneider boarded a ship and came to the United States. Besides instructing math ematical logic classes, Schneider also heads a pro gram offering degrees in math for teachers. He has spent four months in Assan, India, as a mathematical consultant for the National Science Foun dation . Despite his travels, Schneider said the United States is like any other country. "If you live long enough in it, you learn to like it," he said. . daily . nebraskan 'Publication No. 14480 Editor in chief: Ron Ruggless, Managing editor: Betsie Am nions. News editor: Janet Fix.
