Page 2 Le Department de Francais? by Leslie Hill There are ten or twelve French majors at Guilford College who have similar views concerning the French courses offered and the professors. Seven of them are Gayla Andrew, Chris Benfey, Holly Conant, Mary Hanhan, Sharon McKeown, Simone McDonald, and Abby Ott. They all feel there are some disadvantages in being a French major at Guilford. There is no French Department at Guilford. French is incorporated as part of the Foreign Language Department. Foreign Languge majors must take two semesters of another language aside from their major. To become a French major one must take courses at Guilford and either Greens boro College or UNCG. Most students consider it a disadvantage to have to go to CG or UNCG. This reporter spends close to three hours in going to and returning from a one and a half hour class. One other thing that seems to bother the French students, is that there are not enough intermediate courses offered here. As a result of this, the literature courses have stu dents with a wide range of abilities. This is a disadvant age to both the advanced students and to the students who have not had much French. Aside from these disadvan tages the students like the courses and their professors. There are three professors who teach French here at Guilford. They are Ms. THE GUILFORDIAN GUILFORD COLLEGE, GREENSBORO, N.C. 27410 "All the news that fits" Editor Pat Townsend Consulting Editor David Green Business Manager Bob Gold News Editor Leslie Zeldin Staff Chris Ben fey, Cathy Flick, Edith Kurie, Susan Giventcr, Annette Zitver Green, Arlene Hill, Forrest Hughes, Mandy O'Briant, Sally McAlister, Jeanne Ye.

Ms. Chauvingne is consi dered an outstanding profes sor and person by her students. She has been described as "delightful" and "charming". In co-operation with UNCG there is a seminar in France. This is a nine week program which is taught in French. Of this time, six weeks are spent working on two courses. One of these is French conversa tion and the other is French culture. One week during this time is spent in the Loire Valley, the other five are in Paris. Students have the opportunity to visit Versailles, museums, and cathedrals. They can also go to plays and concerts involving subjects that they are studying. The other three weeks, the students may spend as they please. They can travel around Europe or stay in France. Gayla went on the seminar and enjoyed it very much. Many of these students plan to go into international business or work as transla tors or interpreters.

The Gnilfordian ' KTtUwFlMwSiXlcl.kic "PARAPET REENACTMENTTS WHEW ARE VOU GOING TO PAINT THE HOUSE?" Lectures Focus on Hunger by Aki We arrived just as Senator McGovern was being seated amid the applause of a moderately sized audience. The question of food is, of course, an interesting one. And I hoped the speakers would raise some good points. They did. Dr. Georg Borgstrom, professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State, is rather disorganized. He demands attention with raised arms and an impressive voice. He arrives at the notion that the main question concerning world food short age is not underdevelopment; but simply that we have too much, and the poor nations too little. The U.S. has more land that it needs--says Borgstrom,-yet grables resources from other regions. Like the shrimp in Mexico. Most of them end up in Miami', to the mouth of an American who consumes three times as many calories than is necessary, or more. Western Europe receives most of the American exports, and have surplus land in Africa and Indian. He received applauce for refuting the "Life-boat" theory. The theory pictures the world as an ocean with a small life-boat.

Dr. Borgstrom says the picture looks rather like we are on huge ships which partly belong to Indians, Africans and Latin Americans, while at the same time shouting: No space! Sorry! McGovern is more fatherly and warm. Senator from South Dakota, he is chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human needs. He remembered John F. Kennedy in 1960, when hte late president stressed that food must be used to satisfy human needs and to preserve peace in the world. McGovern was appointed Director of the "US Food for Peace" program during that era. "Food must be used for the needy, not as a weapon of war," he says, "As if we were the judges of history, witnesses before the divine for the absolution of the inno cent--". Pointing out the disproportionate amount of aid sent to the Middle East, to Chile (85 per cent of the total aid to Latin America), to South Korea (25 per cent of the aid to S.E. Asia), he shows that economic assistance has so far been influenced by big power political interests in those regions.

When they resort to development funds, that cuts down all hopes for the future. Other than immediate relief, Senator McGovern also stressed the need of providing funds for development goals. One way of doing this is by cutting our military budget. (Incidentally he did try to push a bill through the World Food Conference. The bill asked the two powers to cut their military budget by 10 per cent, about 20 billion dollars. The bill was rejected.) He, too, got applauce when he said: We cannot be the first in food providers and at the same time the first in gun providers! Touching on the problem of population control, his point of view is that control and food distribution are closely relat ed. The starving family tend is to have more children for security reasons, since life expectancy is minimal. As a whole, the lectures gave several alternative in sights into the Food problem. I think they are worth consider ing. Please pay attention to the next lectures on Hunger, to take place shortly!
