SPONSORED BY CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR
CHRIST
By Lisa Williams
Reporter
As part of a cultural exchange
program between Texas A&M and a
West German university, 10 students
and one staff adviser from A&M left
for the University of Gottingen last
week.
The MSC Jordan Institute for In
ternational Awareness is sponsoring
10 students from the University of
Gottingen in Gottingen, West Ger
many for one month, which will end
March 11. In turn, the MSC Jordan
Institute is sending A&M students
and an adviser to spend a month
there.
To prepare for the cultural expe
rience, the Jordan Institute last week
presented a program, “Modern Ger
many — The People, The Land,
The Culture,” to focus and teach an
overview of Germany before the
Gottingen students arrive.
Barbara Wilson, vice-consul of the
Federal Republic of Germany as
signed to the consulate general of
the FRG in Houston and guest
speaker, said people often view Ger
mans as harsh people.
“Germans have always been
known as rough boys, hard guys and
combative people,” she said.
Sarah Yuronka, Jordan Institute’s
travel and exchange director, said a
lot of people have ‘inborn preju
dices’ about Germans and their
country.
“I’ve found that some people
don’t know Germany is divided,”
Yuronka said. “Others have the
image of the Nazis and that’s it. I ex
pect college students to be more
open-minded and knowledgeable,
but I’m sure some prejudices still
exist.”
Melissa Underhill, Jordan Insti
tute’s director for programs, said the
barriers of prejudice can be broken
down by exchange programs.
“The exchange program
is an opportunity for first
hand exploration. Break
down (of prejudices)
conies with knowledge. ”
— Melissa Underhill,
Jordan Institute’s director
for programs
“1 he exchange program is an op
portunity for first hand explora
tion,” she said. “Breakdown (of prej
udices) comes with knowledge. This
kind of lecture is the exact kind of
supplement to an exchange pro
gram that increases the breakdown.
‘Modern Germany’ was specifically
designed to dispel these images.”
The idea behind the Jordan Insti
tute’s exchange plans is by design a
cultural experience — an exchange
of culture. There is no obligation to
study during the exchange. It is sim
ply an opportunity to learn about
another culture.
Wilson refers to Germany as “a vi
tal cultural scene.”
“Germany is a good starting point
for international travelers from the
United States,” she said. “You don’t
get the shock of being in a foreign
country there because it’s very simi
lar, probably the closest, to the U.S.
culture.
“Germany is a small country in
contrast with the superpower coun
tries. However, it is important
enough to host the superpowers in
summits and other engagements.”
Wilson, who was born in Dresden,
Germany, said Germany is like the
United States in its search for peace.
“We want freedom,” she said. “We
want to help other countries.*
want to be allies. However,yotur

our country borders on conui
areas, we are sometimes forcedeI
