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.

"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."

points to Italy as ha tells students
Foreign Students Exchange meeting.
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."

student who spent this past school year in
Italy, the cafeteria 6r mensa that served the
exchange students from foreign universities
cost less than 50 cents per meal.
"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.
Lifestyles the students observed ranged

houses cut into the sides of mountains.
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.
