October 20, 1949 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 Biedenkopf Speaks At I. R. C. Chapel KURT HANS BIEDENKOPF The first International Rela tions Club meeting will be held during chapel on Wednesday, Oc tober 27th. This meeting will ob serve United Nations Day which is October 24th. The speaker on this occasion will be Kurt Hans Biedenkopf. Kurt is the German student who is studying at Davidson College this year. He is here through the efforts of the boys in the Pi Kap pa Phi social fraternity. Kurt is from Weisbaden, Germany. He is business-like and self-assured for his 19 years. He says of his U. S. trip, “I’ve come to this country to study political science and economics for one year. These subjects I selected because I want to learn the American point of view; whereas I could take iTiathematics, science, and langu age in a school at home.” Of his English Kurt says, “I brushed up my use of English a when I years old. Of course, I had already had several years of high school training in the language, but my experience as an interpreter for four Ameri can officers in Germany was in- ^aluable in acquainting me with ^the slang—the idioms.” Pi Kappa Phi members are sponsoring Kurt’s year of study jointly with the college. They handle the finances for his board, laundry, and books; and the school will provide for his room and tuition.

Tryon St. 2-5822 The Davidson students worked with the International Institute of Education, the United States State department, and the mili tary government in Germany in their selection of a student. Kurt’s most outstanding ac complishment in high school was the drafting of the first postwar constitution in that country. Modeled after that of the U. S., it provides for an executive, a leg islative, and a judicial branch. In addition to his work on the con stitution, Kurt was editor of the school paper, a monthly publica tion supported by approximate ly 2,000 subscriptions. He also worked closely with the military government in planning and pro moting several projects. Kurt is classified as a special student at Davidson because his educational background places him ahead of the normal fresh man. German high schools have nine grades and offer advanced courses in most subjects. Kurt will speak to the Queens student body on his impressions of the United States. He will in clude the United Nations in his talk. Queens Players Choose Members This year the Queens Players is building into a bigger and better club.
