Knutsen, an economics major who has studied English, German, and French, is taking classes here because his major demands a viable knowledge of English. International economics is taught only in English and German. He will be attending the Gothergberg University in Sweden next year. Although he's had a nine-year indoctrination of English textbook study, he contends that "You gotta be in the country to have a working knowledge of the language. There's no way you can learn it from a text; you must live it," he said. He admits experiencing some difficulty at first in taking English classes but now is able to cope easily. He speaks English fluently with no noticeable accent, having started studying it at age 11. "The educational level is much lower here," he said in comparing this college with the Swedish Universities. "We have to study much harder; it is more intensive, and we spend more hours in class (6 to 7 a day)," he said. He is taking an average load, 15 hours, including economics, political science, international organization, and German. He will spend time in Germany studying this summer. Why did he select Utah for all study? He maintains that he's an avid skier, and can't survive without it. "Utah has the best powder in the whole world dry and soft," he said. He worked as a ski instructor at Powder Mountain while attending school. Although he has travelled in California, Ogden has been his base for the past year. Generally speaking, he said, "People here are more friendly and open; it is easier to get acquainted here than in Sweden." WSC soccer This year the Weber State College Soccer Squad has recruited a number of talented individuals who know the game. In their first encounter with the University of Utah soccer team at SLC last Friday, the fledgling Weber team forced the longstanding U of U team to a 3-3 draw. Today the squad moved again to Rice Stadium in SLC to participate with other renowned Utah teams in what would be described as a "Soccer Jamboree."Team members should meet at the gym at 2 :00 for the 4 : 00 game. Interested fans are urged to attend and support the team effort. The team is in top shape, and the forecast is favorable. KWCR! FM 88.1 |
