We have long had an excellent curricu-

should broaden our interests as an institution to include the aestetic as well as

Undergraduates regularly enrolled in
colleges and universities under the jurisdiction of the OSSHE are eligible to
participate. Past academic performance will be a significant factor in selection. Personal qualifications as reliability, tolerance, and adaptability, specifically the ability to live amicably
with others in a new environment will
also be considered.
Estimated basic cost per student is
$2050. This includes $300 tuition, $150
surcharge, $575 for round trip air transportation, $950 room and board, and $75
books. Overall costs for the year should
not exceed $2600. Except for the trans-
portation then, cost would be about the
same as the three terms at Oregon
State.
Students will use facilities at the
University of Pavaia. Pavia is a city
in Northern Italy near Milan. For the
first year students will probably live in
a hotel. After the program gets started
it is hoped that they will be able to live
with Italain families.
Courses offered will be in humanities and social science. Included will be
Italian language, literature and his tory; studies of the governments of Germany, France and Italy; contemporary
European economic problems; philosophy and other studies of historical and
political problems in Europe. Full aca-
demic credit will be awarded all students.
There is no language prerequisite but
students without any Italian training
will be required to take a crash program offered in Italy during the first
quarter.
All courses will be taught in English
by English - speaking native scholars
with the exception of the Italian and literature courses which, of course, will be
in Italian.
Dr. George Carbone, professor of
history at Portland State College is or-
ganizer and director of the program.
Dr. Gordon Gilkey, head of the OSU Art
Department is the Oregon State representative who is responsible for coordinating the program on this campus.
Dr. Gilkey explained that classes
will meet hlonday through Thursday
with occasional special Friday classes.
Each student will be expected to carry
the normal 15-18 hours per quarter. He
said that students who are interested
should check with their advislers to be
sure that they will be able to fulfill
their graduation requirements.
Program director, Dr. Carbone and
his wife will be available at all times
for consultation with students in Italy.
A considerable degree of individual liberty will be granted each student. Each
group will elect a president and other
officers to carry out the activities and
to confer with staff members on administrative problems.
Students participating in the pro gram are voluntarily assuming a defrepresenting
their university or college, state and
inite responsibility for
country.
Applications will be accepted until
April 15 for the academic year beginning this September. Dr. Gilkey said
that applications will soon be available
on this campus. All applicants must apply for the full three terms.
Students desiring to study overseas
should thoughtfully consider this pro gram. In establishing the Italian Study
Center, the OSSIIE joins about 200 other
U.S. colleges with 400 overseas pro grams.

Mixed Culture
In America,
Say Students
By GRACE BERGER
Reporter
America is a large country
with great natural beauty and
very friendly people, but has
little culture that is characteristically its own, stated two foreign science teachers who are
presently studying at Oregon
State University.
"Culture in America is found
primarily in the museums," Luigi Navacchia of Italy explained. "We have tried to find typically American articles in the
stores to take back to our coun-
tries with us. but all we can
find are articles that say 'made
in Japan.' "
Boqumet Habuz of Poland
echoed this feeling. "Your government buildings in Washington D.C. are copies of Greek
and Roman architecture instead
of being really American in design," he observed. Regarding
the skyscrapers they had seen
in Chicago, he commented that
they were impressive buildings
but that he would not want to
live there.
"Our hobby is to learn Amer-
ican slang." remarked Habuz
jokingly.
Comments such
as
you later, alligator,"
which the American students
use, have proved very confusing. To be chosen for the program of study in the United
States, the teachers must be
able to understand basic English. but idioms and slang puzzle them still, both men said.
'I had learned the words 'put
off.' stated Navacchia, "but
had never heard them used in
the sense. 'Don't put off until
tomorrow what you can do to"See
day.' "
High schools in America are
different in some ways from
those in Europe, both men
agreed. In Poland and Italy the
high schools in which both men
taught were designed to prepare students for the university. Other students attend technical engineering or agricultural schools. Students preparing
for the university take eight or
nine subjects at a time and attend school six days a week,
Navacchia explained. In both
Poland and Italy boys and girls
attend the same schools, but
there is a different kind of
friendship between American
boys and girls than in their own
countries, both men observed.
"Football games are very picturesque," commented Habuz.
"With the band playing, the
crowd screaming and the girls
dancing. it is very interesting
to watch." They added that
they must bring luck because
every game they have attend.
ed this year has been won by
Oregon State.
"We want to thank all the
people who have been so friendly to us." both men emphasized. Navacchia held in his
hand an invitation he had just
received from a I a mil y.
Friends In Corvallis loaned the
teachers bicycles and radios,
took them hunting and fishing,
invited them to their homes to
visit and helped them in many
other ways. When they return
to their home countries, both
men said that they will remember the friendliness of the
American people they have
met.
