- * * \ By GENE WARREN uutctor oi PubUc Information ? > i" ijjjrfiM nil i - ?1 - Hans Rintehnann, FeOmght Exchange Professor from Germany teaching at Pembroke State University this 1mar, exhibits this scene from his hometown of Hanover [spelled Hannover m German \. FULBRIGHT EXCHANGE PROFESSOR FROM GERMANY TEACHING AT PEMBROKE STATE Hans J. Rintelmann, bom in 1946 (the year World War II ended), is a Fulbright Exchange Professor from Hanover, West Germany, teaching at Pembroke State University this academic year. , In the same exchange, Dr. Joseph Man del of PSlTs Communicative Arts Department is teaching at Hum boldtschule in Hanover for the same period oI time. Rinteimann is instructing German I and II plus Worid Literature and Composition at PSU. "I have 14 students in my German I class and five in my German II class," he said. Asked if he has any difficulty understanding the different American dialects, Rintelmann replied: "Defin itely. I ask my students to slow down and pronounce their words so I can understand them." He indicated the students have been very cooperative. A student evsluation showed Rintelmann receiving a positive response for his teaching efforts here. English is not a new language for Rintelmann. "The first foreign language we take in Germany ia English," he says. "I began taking it at age 11 and took it for eight years. We are required to take a second foreign language-ami it may be French, Latin or Spanish." * ? This is not&btelmann's first trip to the U.S. He says in the last 8-10 years that he has been here almost every year for at least three or four weeks at a time. He usually accompanies some German students to the University of Maryland on such visits. "This year I am spending a year in the Unitad States under this Fulbright Rarhange Program. The idea of the Fulbright Commission is to further the mutual understanding betwssu the countries involved," said Riateimann, whose home in northwest West Germany is approximately 50 miles from what used to be the "lion Curtain" before it was tahsa down. He wfll conclude his visit this year on Aug. 0. but prior to that his two sons, ages 14 and 12, will fly to Washington, D.C., to join him. It will be their first trip to America. His wife is not coming because of working on a degree. Rinteimann plans to take his sons on a 14-day trip to Florida and then to California. Among the places they wffl visit wfll be Disneyland, the MGM studios, and the Kennedy Space Center. In Germany, Rinteimann teaches at a "gymnasium," a school which prepares students for universities. Moot of the students are 17-20 years old. He says the grades 12 and IS there are comparable to the first two years of college here. Commenting on American high schools, he said: "They are different. They try to integrate people from different backgrounds. A great danger I see from my brief visits ts them is that students sometimes seem to be pampered end sometimes I have had the feeling that the vary bright students are not challenged. But I might be wrong because I don't know very much about the American high school system." Rinteimann is impressed by "the vastness" of America, as he describes it "You can travel for miles on a highway without seeing a house. In my country, when I open the door of my apartment I take one step and Tm in France. If I take a second step, Tm in Italy." He spoke, too, about the differences in social life. "In Hanover, West Germany, you go to the restaurant to meet people, students, whatever. I miss that here. In this country, you go to the restaurant in order to have a meal." In other words, the social aspect of restaurants in Germany is of a higher priority than just dining. Questioned whether the reunification of Germany poses a threat to its neighbors or the world in the future, Rinteimann replied: "The German people have shown over these 40 years they have matured. I do not believe at the moment there is any real fear of their beginning those nationalistic feelings. NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) was created to keep Germany as wefl as communism in check. Both the French and British are very well aware of what Germany once was. At the moment, German politicians are at a low key. They do not indicate they want a greater share of power within the world community." Rinteimann was one of 20 people from West Germany chosen from 400-500 applicants for the Fulbright Exchange Program. When he returns, he will be teaching Qigiish courses such as American literature, British literature, etc. Having lived here for a year, he will have much to tell his counterparts back home about American life.
