USC students, By Toni E. Saddler Although USC does not have an Italian student exchange program, seven USC students and two professors "piggybacked" (Hi an exchange program with State University of New York, using dorms and facilities available to New York students in Italy. "The classroom serves as a textbook, but the street is a laboratory full of examples and variations," said Faust Pauluzzi, a USC Italian professor who taught in an exchange program in Urbino, Italy, this summer. Two other universities, Miami of Ohio and Rutgers, sent their professors to teach iiauan 10 me American siuaenis in tne small town of Urfoino. ALTHOUGH TEXTBOOKS were used, professors would often send students to buy items or to interview Italian natives. The Italian environment was a good learning environment for the students, Pauluzzi said. "We didn't learn half as much in two years of school in America as we did in three months (in Italy)," said Sue di Serafino, who spent the summer in Italy. Italians think Americans speak as rapidly in English as Americans think Italians speak in their native language, di Serafino said. George Kessler, a USC junior, said he took Italian originally to fill a general education requirement in psychology. He met Pauluzzi and another USC professor, Antonio Giacomantonio, who also taught in Urbino, and decided to go to Italy. After spending his summer there, he now can t wait to go back." KESSLER, a WUSC-FM disc jockey, worked at a radio station in Urbino called ''Radio Charlie" under the air name "George-USC." "I had a tape of myself from USC and they liked my voice, so they hired me," he said.

The presentation was part of a "People in Italy liked mostly rock'n'roll, some American jazz, George Benson and Stanley Clarke, and some disco," Kessler said. "They really loved the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen." Each person who had been in Urbino mentioned the emphasis on food in Italy. "THE ITALIANS have a great range of tastes. The food is very refined and cooking is a culinary art," Pauluzzi said. "Eating is something a family would do instead of watching televsion. It is not rare to find people spending three or more hours just on one meal." UP A JOE'S~lS PIZZA S SUB PARLOR I ;? K! V M x )m. i. JS/ Pizza - Subs V" 1 }[X.

One food the students referred to as "phenomenal" was pizza. "It is cooked in a wood-burning tile oven and has a hickory-smoked flavor to it. I've never tasted anything like it," Judy Tresk said. "There are people who study just the making of ice cream," Pauluzzi said. "You really taste the fruit in fruit ice cream, and there is high quality control everywhere." TRESK SAID, "The restaurants were great. They really make a point to cater to the people, and all the waiters are male."

"You eat so much at meals you never want snacks," he said. The students appreciated the differences in culture and enjoyed being in an area filled with such history and art. "I LOVED the different culture; that was the greatest part of being there. The little things I wasn't able to get in Urbino that I could get at home didn't make a difference. I just took advantage of the change in culture, especially the art, and loved it," Kessler said. The students traveled to Florence, Pompeii, Capri and Venice, which was flooding during the visit. The students saw Assisi, where Saint Francis began a city. In some places near Assisi people cannot wear watches or other jewelry, and there are torches in the streets, he said.

A HUMOROUS ASPECT of Italian life is the overabundance of pigeons, Pauluzzi said. "They will fly overhead, and they are programmed to know where you are walking and where you are going. People want to catch them in nets and release them outside of the cities. It's terrible," Pauluzzi said. The students said thev were surmised to find Italian objection to nuclear power. According to Tresk, "Nuclaria ? No Grazie" was written on walls everywhere. The sJogan means, "nuclear power ? no thank you." "There was a great political awareness among the Italian people. Most of them, however, did not like the way that America's economy is run,'* Tresk said. : SKIERS? v and ctaff in and recreational 1 v^\,lmmMM\
