the Consultant of Humanities at
Coed Dining
For Nittany
Postponed
Men students living in the
Nittany Residence Halls will
not eat their meals with coeds
this year
Frank J. Simes, dean of men,
said those students now eat
ing in the Nitto n y Dining
Hall will not be transferred to the
women's dining hall areas.
Sillies said modifications In
dining hall procedure would have
to be made to handle he larger
number of students eating in the
dining halls. These modifications
could not be accomplished in the
near future.
"Without these modification,
it is felt the advantages that
would accrue, socially and oth
erwise, would be offset by the
inconveniences that might re
sult," he said.
Men living in the Nittany area l
may be assigned to women's din
ing halls, after the Pollock Resi
dence Halls are completed.
Harald Sandstrom, president of
the Association of Independent
Men, had suggested at the first
board of governors meeting that
a poll be taken in the Nittany
area to determine student opinion
on the change.
However, the poll was never
taken. Barry Rein, president of
the Nittany Halls Council and
member of the AIM board of
governors, said he had received
no official request to take the
poll.
Rein said the general feeling
among the Nittany residents was
againA eating in the women's
dining halls. He said he thought
perhaps the decision not to trans
fer the men to women's dining
halls was because the opinion of
the Nittany residents was gener
ally known.

LANGUAGE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 1
In this day of swift international communicatiOns, like radio,
television, and the raft, it becomes more and more important
to be solidly grounded in foreign languages. Accordingly, I
have asked the makert: of Philip Noma whether I might not.
occasionally forego levity in this column and instead use it for
a lesson in language.
"Of course, silly!" chuckled the makers of Philip Morris,
tousling my yellow locks. Oh, grand men they are, just as full
of natural goodness a s the cigarettes they make, just as clean
and fresh, just as friendly, just as agreeable to have along in
all times and climes and places. "Of course, fond boy," laughed
the makers and togged me up and down in a blanket until, giddy
with giggling, I bade them desist, and then we all had basins
of farina and smoked Philip Alorrises and sang songs until the
campfire had turned to embers.
For our first lesson in language we will take up French. We
will approach French in the modern manner—ignoring the
tedious rules of grammar and concentrating instead on idiom,
After all, when we go to France, what does it matter if we can
parse and conjugate? What matters is that we should he able
to speak idunnatic conversational French.
So, for the first exercise, translate the following real, true-to
life dialogue between two real, true-to-life Frenchmen named
Claude (pronounced C/o/a0 and Pierte (also pronounced Clohd).
CLAUDE: Good morning, sir., Can you direct me to the
nearest monk"
PIERRE: I have regret, but I am a stranger here myself.
CLAUDE: Is it that you come from the France?
PIERRE: You have right.
CLAUDE:I also. Come, let us mount the airplane and return
ourselves to the France.
PIERRE: We must defend from smoking until the airpinne
elevates itt,eif.
CLAUDE: Ah, now it has elevated itself. Will you have a
Philippe Maui ice?
PIERRE: Mercy.
CLAUDE: How many years has the small gray cat of the
sick admiral?
PIERRE: She has four years, but the tall brown dog of the
short blacksmith has only three.
CLAUDE: In the garden of my aunt it makes warm in the
summer and cold in the winter.
PIERRE: What a coincidence! In the garden of my aunt tool
CLAUDE: Ali, we are landing. Regard how the airplane
depresses itself.
PIERRE: What shall you do in the France?
CLAUDE: I shall make a promenade and see various sights
of cultural significance, like the Louvre, the Tomb of Napoleon,
and the Eiffel Tower ... What shall you do?
• PIERRE: I shall try to pick up the stewardess.
CLAUDE: Long live the France!
