Talks
About
Trip
The French Club held its first
meeting of the year with Dr. Pierre
Macy as guest speaker on Wed
nesday, September 27. Dr. Macy
recounted the highlights of his trip
to France this past summer. He
told of the many changes taking
place now in France and those of
the past few years. Fashions, for
example, he says, have gone to
great let^s to have NO length,
with mini - skirts, popular on
women of all ages. The bold prints,
flowered and striped, have captur
ed the fancy of everyone.
As is true to some extent here
in America, there is a difficulty
in distinguishing between the girls
and boys as concerns hairstyles.
Dr. Macy told of often getting of
fended looks from males he had
mistaken for the gentler sex.
Construction has been booming
recently and apartment houses, he
says, are quite prevalent in Paris,
where not long ago it was virtually
impossible to find decent low-cost
housing. He also said that the
University of Paris has establish
ed branch complexes outside the
heart of town. This University has
grown to over 100,000 students.
Les Halles, the “breadbasket” of
Paris, is also being moved to new
and much more spacious quarters
outside the city.
Speaking in French almost all
the time. Dr. Macy was quite
easily understood by even those
possessing a very sketchy know
ledge of the language. However,
Vera Clemmer, the president of
the club, gave a translated and
somewhat shortened version to be
sure everyone understood.
University
Receives
Big Gift
EVANSTON, 111. -I.P.) — The
Avalon Foundation has made a gift
of $500,000 to Northwestern Uni
versity to establish an endowed
professorship in the humanities.
The gift will provide for an ap
pointment in the area of general
and comparative literature.
Northwestern’s program in
general and comparative literature
was established in 1958 by the
faculty of the College of Arts and
Sciences to provide qualified stu
dents an opportunity to study lit
erature with a perspective broader
than that offered by the program
of any single department.
It also introduces him to the
interrelationships of various nat
ional literatures, and, by a study
of one significant genre, fosters
an understanding of the way in
which ideas and inspirations have
found expression simultaneously in
severai nations.
The interdisciplinary aspects of
the Avalonprofessorshipare char
acteristic of the academic goals
charted in Northwestern’s “First
Plan for the Seventies,” said
Franklin M. Kreml, vice presi
dent for planning and development.
The Plan aims for excellence
rather than size.
in the Business Administration and
Econwnics Department. He also
stated, with much enthusiasm and
an eye for the future, that “poten
tial for growth and improvement
are very high.”
A native of Egypt, Mr. Abdel-
Khalik has worked for the Nat-
i^l Bank of Egypt, and obtained
his B. Com. degree in accounting
at the University of Cairo. Moving
to the United States, he obtained
his M.B.A. and M. A. in eco
nomics from Indiana University.
He is presently working on his
PhJ).
On cranparing the universities
here with those in Egypt, Mr.
Abdel - Khalik states that pro
fessors there have much larger
classes and that there lecture
classes are then broken down into
smaller groups which instructors
conduct.
He states that once one decides
on his major field, all his courses
are set up by the college and you
have little diversion from the ma-
Changes

of students out here who care
enough to do anything for the
school.
Harold Cohen; “Even with our
grade A health rating (cafeteria)
I’d damn every fly in the cafe
teria still.”
John Sproul; “I’d get the dorms
erected as soon as possible.”
John L. Blackman; “Less lan
guage requirements for science
majors. Five semesters of lan
guage along with the other require
ments are just too much. The
department (language) is seeming
ly orientated along the lines that
all students in the fifth semes
ter courses are language majors.”
Barbara Macon; “Some central
area should be designated for
socializing. For example, an area
for students to dance would be one
of the starting points.”
Devera Pearson; “I think
there’s a need to develop a true
campus life. The dorms are great
ly needed because the present
condition makes one feel as if he
is still attending high school.”
Fred Thompson; “A course in
journalism should be offered be
cause there are too many criti
cisms directed at our school pa
per. From general conversation,
I find that there are a surprising
number of students who think that
they would like to take a series
of journalism courses.”
Joe Caldwell; “Institute a lec
ture series with people such as
Eric Hoffer, Walter Kaufman, etc.,
instead of Barry Goldwater or
George Wallace. Reason; More
controversy therefore blowing
more minds out.”
Sue Folger; “Reorganize and
instruct the faculty in the methods
of transcript evaluation and publish
or set policy or admissions, re
gistration, graduation require
ments, etc. Especially with trans
fer students.”
Sue Garrett; “More professor-
student informal contact wherein
the students and instructors get
together for informal discussions
about anything.”
Eddie Grimes; “I would re
arrange curriculum so require
ments for graduation correspond
to the curriculum other schools
in the consolidated University
have. Example for reason; At
Carolina I was a business major
and was able to substitute a hum
anity elective for a French cour se,
upon transferring I was forced
to take a 300 level French course
which seems unfair.”
Mark Edward Conrath; “At
tempt getting more people to at
tend more student activities.”
Ed Smith; “Changing school
colors from green and white to
psychodelic blob and offer surf
ing as a course in physical edu
cation.”
Ronny Fever; “Erect the dorms
and push the sale of Venus Fly
Traps on campus.”
Pat Campbell; “Dorms on cam
pus.”
John Crain; “I’d become the
new Academic Dean of College.”
John Hostetler; “Free campus
manicure and beauty service for
males and females. With these
influences there might come an
influe of masculine-feminity. This
would broaden the scope of pro
gressive thought. This, of course,
being merely a beginning of a com
plete social-moral revolution for
the campus.”
Thomas Reddy; “I’d change the
superficial atmosphere that exists
among the students. For instance,
the students know you. maybe not
by name, but if you’re seen any
place other than on campus the
majority of the students refuse to
know you.”
