Pen BY GEORGE HALL There was a time when young American students knew at least three facts about France. 1) Napoleon kept his hand in side xx j coat; 2) Paris was the home of the Eiffel Tower; and 3) Lafayette fought on our side in The Revolutionary War. Students of the French lan guage knew yet a fourth: all French aunts had pens. Or so it could be deduced from the lessons in which Jean, Marie, and company were for- ever chatting about "la plume de ma tante." Gallic "Plume" Indeed, that famous "plume" was easily the most ubiquitous of all things Gallic. It lay on and under tables, changed colors and proportions, and even (in the third of the RADITIONALI Uoite EXTRA-TRIM J POST-GRAD Slacks ost-Grads are traditionally styled for those lithe, tapered lines you've always had a yea fort Smooth, pleatless front; pre cuffed bottoms.

But nowadays, auntie and her pesky pen have been relegated to lesser and more natural roles in the French scene. Emphasis Today Today, the emphasis in French teaching is on a more widely practical vocabulary level, one that includes not only pens, fe- ,male rflations & humming uuua uui usciiu expressions about pencils, houses, cars, even the kitchen stove. And the students? They are loving (and learn ing) every conversational min ute of it, especially when the teacher is WUNC-TV's French instructoress Marian Walter. In-School Series Mrs. Walter's "Rendez-vous en francais" in-school series on Channel 4 (Monday, Wednes day, and Friday at 11:00 a.m.) is currently reaching nearly 20,- nn . . . 000 students, most of them in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades of the North Carolina Public School System. Mrs. Walter, a specialist in teaching "foreign" languages to children, began the French course on WUNC - TV three years ago at the suggestion of Sterling A. Stoudemire, head of the Department of Romance Languages. At first, it was only an experiment, with only a few school classes tuned in to par ticipate. Speaks In French Mrs. Walter spoke only in French, using and re-using simple words and phrases that would interest children of ele mentary school age. Slowly but surely, her painstaking but UNG-Dook (Continued from page 1 ) Carolina Lineup Countering against the high flying visitors will be a Caro- ina lineup that has been, much he same during the year.

Quarterback Farris Detonating the offensive bombs for the Heels will be quarterback Ray Farris and his backfield partners Gib Carson, Moyer Smith, and fullback Bob Elliott. The colorful pageant cli maxes a week of hilarities and festivities for the student bodies of both schools. The bands of both teams will perform at half-'the lime.

The French began to "take."

The experiment was working. The - audience could be ex panded. t Works Under Grani The Educational station, working with the University's Department of Education under a grant from the Ford Founda tion, helped' Mrs. Walter, who speaks French like, a native, start the courses in hundreds of schools in the state. This year there are both be ginning and second year classes. While the individual class room teachers have a "text book" (and nrivatp TV lpccnne themselves from Mrs. Walter on Monday and Wednesday aiternoons), the young Franco- ,T . luue "lusiratea (booklets. The pictures in the books are tied-in to the spoken vocabulary activities of the TV program. Not once is the child expected to concern himself "about gen der, tense, or mood.

In addition to the grades of P (passing) and F (failing) that were used under the old system, an H (high) and L (low, but passing) have been incorporated.

Reasons Noted In a memorandum issued by Graduate School Dean Alex ander Heard, several reasons for the revision were noted. The notice said that under such a new system student in centives might be increased since the higher grade of H would be a goal to work for above the former P.

She predicts that high school French instructors will find stu dents who have "graduated from her TV course far more receptive and eager than those who start from scratch. Gels Complimenl Perhaps, the nicest compli ment Mrs. Walter has had in her new role as a TV teacher was recently paid her by an elementary class at a Danbury rural school. She had promised to pay the school a personal visit (a regular off-camera ac tivity for her) cn an afternoon. For one reason or another, she was delayed in reaching the school until nearly two hours after the final bell had rung. But the pupils had, to the last one, elected to wait. They all wanted to talk to her in French, and that they did, in almost perfect Parisian accents. "Rendez-vous en francais" is produced for WUNC-TV by John Hawes of the Chapel Hill!

"We feel that Carolina grad uate students may be at some what of a disadvantage under the old system when being interviewed for graduate fel lowships," Assistant to the Dean of the Graduate School James R. Gaskin said Monday.

The group will leave New York on June 12 and return to New York on July 17. The itinerary includes Scotland. England, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Ger many and Holland. . Round-trip cost of the tour is $950. This includes transport, accommodation, meals, entrance fees and tips. It excludes pass port costs, drinks not served with meals, theatre tickets and pocket monev. Transport By Air Transport across the Atlantic will be by air and in Europe by chartered motor coach. Tour arrangements are being handled by Mr. Edward G. Blakeway, ex-British exchange teacher who has been teaching in Raleigh for several years. This is the fourth year he has organized a group from North Carolina. Janice Haley ( Continued from page 1 ) rounded by harem - costumed girls.

Gaskin Says Gaskin noted that there are as many grading systems as there are among teachers in undergraduate schools. When the revision was first proposed and other schools studied, it was found that Northwestern had used nine grades of passing compared to Johns Hopkins where no grades or point credits whatever were em ployed. "The need for differentiating among graduate students ap pears particularly urgent at a time when the number of stu dents is increasing and the mi gration of students from one in stitution to another takes on considerable proportions," Heard's memorandum noted. "We are called upon to evalu ate graduate work at other in stitutions and other institutions are called upon to weigh the work taken by graduate students here." ww (ftx IT WAS A GOOD TRY: Cliee's No Carolina BY ED RINER Chee is. riot an UNC graduate; In fact, she has been to Caro lina very little mostly parties, dancing and play watching.

Little yellow plastic darts whizzed through yester day afternoon's air, thrown by the football-toughened hands of seven Hickeymen killing time or squirrels before 4:00 practice. People passing by McCorkle Place (the quad between Old Well and Franklin Street) won dered at the pack of brawny fellows seemingly chasing squir rels and throwing things at trees. But no one asked what they were doing until one of them had been on all fours raking through the leaves for five min utes. Then the truth was known. Loses Dart Tpm Cabe had lost his dart. And the bad part about it was that it wasn't Cabe's dart. He had borrowed it from Gene Sig mon.

"Chanel Hill has surely changed; it's quite different than the way I saw it about two It seems that Cabe had grown tired of aiming at trees and leaves and decided to try for one of the playful squirrels. " ,; ; Either the squirrel moved or Cabe's aim was bad, but the squirrel escaped and the dart disappeared. Buried In Leaves After enlisting the aid of by standers and hunting for an other ten minutes, the dart was discovered completely buried in leaves and ground. Their search ended, the group adjourned to practice and Sig mon reclaimed his property, de claring Cabe a poor risk. Needless to say, the squirrel population was jubilant and henceforth more cautious about frolicking when dart sportsmen are near. miy,Fm possessed her as w:c::ss&zD...
