Strauch, ils 'discutent tout en francais, soit la politique, la litterature ou le theatre. Ils invitent les gens qui racontent leurs experiences en France ou qui parlent d'un aspect de la vie frangaise. Parfois ils apprennent des jeux frangaisg parfois ils ecoutent les disques frangaisg ou parfois ils chantent les chan- sons frangaises accompagnes par une gui- tare. C'est un cercle tres actif et tres inter- essant. Y ,J 1 U. l .if im ,. tt f 4 - Second Row.' K. Giovanelly, S. Thomas, J. Froeherg, N. Novak, G. Snyder, L. Shaffer, A. Taffel, D. Grippo, R.

Walking into the room at the beginning of this year, one might hear doleful Russian folksongs or be handed various dittoed materials, mostly dialogues, reminiscent of seventh grade ALM courses. As the class dutifully repeats all the sounds and sen- tences it hears, the question remains: Who is the basso on the record who dictates to them all? Third Row: R. Philips, H. Comen, P. Bronski, S.

French songs, including Dominique, Le Coq Est Mort, and Ou sont Devenus les Fleurs, as well as color slides and talks by students and invited guests provide an inter- esting and entertaining program.
