Speakers bureau recruiting "We want students who would be willing to travel around the state giving their opinion about the University to interested groups," Patty Wall and David Yarborough, co-chairpersons of the Campus Community Relations said. They are recruiting for the Student Speakers Bureau, a continuing program carried out by student government, the University and Information Ser vices. Speakers for the group travel around the state speaking to high school and civic groups about "academics, social life, student government and college life in general. We answer questions, clear up misunderstandings and basically try to give an honest personal view of USC and the college experience," Yarborough said. "The programs are very flexible and we try to fit the talk to the group we are talking to. High schools usually like to hear about financial and academic problems and social life." he said. Wall explained that some high schools may just want one or two students to sit in the counselor's office for a few hours, or they may want a panel to hold a discussion before the entire senior class. "In cases like this, we try to take several students as well as some faculty," she said. "Civic and business groups like to hear more about the academic program, and especially about the athletes and athletics. They ask all f kinds of questions about what goes on in the Roost," she said. Both Yarborough and Wall said that they were interested in getting students of all backgrounds and interest, as well as staff and faculty members. "The student participants don't need a lot of experience and 1 shouldn't worry about prerequisites. This is a very in formal program-before large groups they would be in a panel and we provide all the information they may need for questions before the trip," they said. "We just want people to go and give honest opinions about the University." see No Esser When you've bought all1 and supplies, come in i great posters, greeting etc., LP's and tapes.

SOUlTH C Students experience French living BY KATHY VANDER WOOD Twelve USC students spent six weeks this summer at he University of Dijon in France, to experience French Civilization, literature, history and language in a native setting. The purpose of the trip was to learn French, according to Dr. D. C. Speer, French professor in charge of the USC to Dijon program. But other courses such as gastronomy (French cuisine), and field trips were available. Students attended regular classes for five days a week and then had their weekends free for travel. "Dijon is in a great location. It is near Germany and Switzerland, so on weekends we took off to do some traveling of our own," said Susan Hedges. Ginger Brown liked the freedom the students were given on weekends. "I traveled to Spain, England, Germany, Switzerland and a great deal of France." "At the University of Dijon, the students are more reserved than here," Jean Robertson said. Ginger agreed with this, "the students there are ten times more conscientious. They really like to learn for the sake of learnings." Most of the students attending the summer program were not French, but were British, German, Spanish and American. "My main complaint about the program is that I didn't learn enough in the classroom. My comprehension improved greatly because the lectures were all in French, by my speaking didn't improve too much," Linda Haynes said. "I learned to speak French as a means of survival," Ginger said. "When I was at a restaurant, I had to either speak French or not eat. So I learned to speak it." A spokesman for the group said that Dijon was chosen because of its international reputation for the summer courses and that it was large enough to be interesting yet small enough to be geographically mastered. 1t la.l Reservations Please VE POINTS AROLINA 29205
