Ameer Zaa-zaa, German Shepherd
Dog Displays Theatrical Ability
. . Well, if I can't keep this
puppy, when I grow up I'm going to
have a real dog," the little boy pro
tested.
And he did, as some hundred Penn,
State undergraduates who have seen!
both the man, Saleem M. Thomas, and!
the dog, Ameer Zaa-zaa, in the last
few days can testify. t ,
Thomas, a traveling salesman, who
came to this country from Syria, had
brought a little dog home with him
one night when he was six years old.
His mother refused him permission to
keep it around the house. So he grew
up, came to America, and so far has
had two 'real' dogs. The first, Nessra,
is now dead, and it is her son, Zaa-zaa,
that has entertained various members
of the student body at odd times dur
ing the last few days.
Both Nessra and Zaa-zaa spring
from full blooded German Shepherd
stock, claimed by Mr. Thomas to be
among the most intelligent races of
dogs alive. Zaa-zaa, the black-tan
'german police' who has shown some
of his tricks hereabouts, is six years
old now, has traveled 135,000 miles
with Nr. Thomas, understands three
languages, and includes the expres
sions "I love you" and "Go to hell,"
among his colloquialisms.
It was Friday night that Penn
State really got a look at the dog. Mr.
Thomas was putting him through his
paces in front, of the main campus
gate. Zaa-zaa obiediently cliMbed
one of Penn State's elms to retrieve
a ball of ,paper, imitated a wounded
soldier returning from the trenches,
immediately began digging furiously
upon a request to imitate the actions
of the Chinese when the Japanese at
tacked them last year. He turned to
his right, his master's left, and
backed up upon spelled or stated
orders from Mr. Thomas—given
partly in French, partly in English,
and with a little Syrian thrown in
for good measure.
"Oh, yes, I have to be very careful ,
what I feed him," Mr. Thomas pointed I
out, as he pulled one of Zaa-zaa's long
pointed ears. "Traveling about as we
do, he would quickly become upset if
his diet was not carefully regulated."
"How did he learn three languages?
Well, you see, I bred him, and started
talking to him—like a child—when he
was about two months old. His first
tricks be learned very slowly, but
after he got the idea, he remembered
them quickly." Mr. Thomas is en
thusiastic when speaking of his hobby,
reticent when speaking of himself
and in his part of the training. •
"Ameer Zaa-zaa is the name of an
Arabian chieftain who was a great
friend of my father's. It means,
'Wandering Chieftain', but Zaa-zaa
doesn't wander away. Oh! No. His
mother, Nessrn, was named for
neighbor of ours in Syria; who had a
dog and was very kind to me when I
was small."
Upon a request, Mr. Thomas pro
duced a carefully typewritten sheet
of paper listing the feats which Zaa
zaa will, upon request, perform. The
list occupies an entire sheet. Enu
merated, and among the tricks per
formed for the benefit of Penn Stater's
are the following, among many:
He'll go after a ball of paper, hunt
around 'till he finds a waste basket,
and drop it in; he'll put out a fire,
using his forepaws as a man would
weild a broom; he'll protect any
article designated—and really protect
it; he'll jump over a cane at the
word 'three', given in French or
English, but won't budge one inch at
the words, 'one-hundred-three', or
'three-hundred-three'.
Altogether, Ameer Zaa:Zaa will go
through about fifty tricks, with infinite
variety, and without a slip—with
orders in any of three languages.
Did somebody once class dogs
among 'dumb' animals?

50 Students Take Complete First •
Year Course in Extension Service
Fifty students are receiving a com
plete freshman course away from the
College campus, in a new center es
tablished by the teacher training ex
tension department of the School of
Education. Plans for .these classes,
which will be given at Sayre and To
wanda, have been released by Desn
Will Grant Chambers, of the Edu
cation School.
The move was caused by the
present economic conditions, according
to Dean Chambers. "There are scores
of capable instructors ..who are un
able to find employment at the present
time," he said. "In addition, there are
hundreds of high . .school graduates
who would like to continue their edu
cation, but lack the necessary finan
ces to do so."
Under this plan, these two groups
of people are brought together. The
students will be able to receive the
same capable instruction as a cost
this is not prohibitive, Dean Cham
bers believeS. In addition, several pro
fessors will have been given an op
portunity to return to work, he adds.
The subjects - to .be offered at this
center this year include English com
position, history, social science, and
1 French. In addition, instruction will
be given in Spanish, chemistry, math
-1•
emetics, and art, according to Dean
I Chambers.. .
The 'extension center will *be ' in
charge of Prof. J. -C. Pomeroy, who
was formerly connected with Elmira
1 College. He will teach chemistry and
mathematics. Dr;Elmer. Pendell, form
erly of .Cornell University and the
Oregon State Teachers College, will
conduct...the classes in history and
social science. . . .

center.
The cost for each semester's in
struction will be $lOO, Dean Cham
bers said. In addition, there is a dol
lar damage deposit fee, as well as ten
dollars laboratory fees for the chem
istry course. •
. The group of fifty will be divided
into . two groups practically equal, with
about twenty-five in both Sayre and
Towanda. The faculty will teach in
the two towns on alternate days, ac
cording to the present plans, with
the instruction being given in the high
school buildings of the two towns.
Plans have , been completed for a
similar center in Bradford and
Warren, Dean Chambers said, with
classes beginning there Monday. "If
these two experiments work out suc
cessfully, it is probably that others
will be started in communities where
there is no ,college easily . accessible,
providing a sufficient number of stu
dents are interested," he stated.

"It will not only give persons the
