A CLOSE-UP view of Washington D.C. A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS? No, it ' s the Executive Office Building, viewed from the Jefferson Memorial. Envy is putting it mildly when the students who participated in Closeup retum after a weeK in Movember in Washington, D. C, — during school time. There s always excitement in their voices. Snatches of converation from this year s group — ' I thought $800 was too much to spend just to see the government at work. But wow! I saw Sen. Ted Kenne- dy in the flesh — and he s short. ... Its a beautiful City. I see why its the capital. And we went to the Smithsonian. Whoa, that mammoth in the lobby of the Matural History Museum was awe- some! Well, we went to Williamsburg and looked first-hand at ali of Mrs. Webb s and Mr. Pardue s architecture slides. They ll be pleased. LET S DO THE ZOO! The giraffe is an unusual sight since we have no city zoo. The Washington Zoo also houses the famous Chinese pandas. AWESOME! The Washington Monument is an impressive sight. Ride to the observation deck and view the city as Banneker and Latrobe envisioned it.

They planned ali sorts of activi- ties — a party that included a tradi- tional Pirtanta, and boo-bags” dur- ing the holidays. They American- ized themselves and sold popcom during the Homecoming festivities. The Spanish culture is quite inter- esting and many students find it sim- ply marvelous. Someday the Club hopes to travel to Mexico, Spain, and other Spanish countries to get a taste of the real culture. The members this year have been both inspirational as well as dedi- cated to the club. Foreign exchange students Adriana Paz and Esteban Cuello enjoyed the people, places, and Italian pizza that exist in the Unit¬ ed States. When asked to sum up her views of the Spanish club, president Kajal Mehta remarked, ' Spanish Club es numero uno! ' ' ELLAS son AMIGASI! Officere Kajal Mehta Becky Bodenheimer Paula Vasquez and Lee Walker. SPANISH CULTURE AMERICAN STYLE! Foreign exchange students Adriana Paz and Esteban Cuello like American fads and fashions but agree that our Mexican food is nothing like theirs.

You hate studying English grammar Why do this? EGO figures into it. So does the State department of Education. You dont understand? Think again. Clue: the proposed foreign lan- guage guage requirements for gradu- ation — or at least entry to LSU. So. leaming another language will be a challenge. Why not take Erench or Spanish so that you can read a menu at one of the city s tonier restaurants (M.onsieur Patou, Taco Bell, etc.)? Why Latin or German? Oh, yeah. The challenge. Besides, passing those classes in high school will make pre-med and pre-law cur¬ ricula easier in college, right? And don t forget the ego. You ll learn the real meaning of ego trip when you pass the exams. There s no reason to think of it as a dead language, says new Latin in¬ structor Ms. Mona Vines. Latin Club, also known as Junior Classical League, is an active participant in for¬ eign language festivals. Mothing less than superior and excellent ratings were gamered by contestants at the spring competition, which included Latin I and II, grammar, literature and translation. That s an ego trip for Lat¬ in students! Ms. Halinka Mowak, like Ms. Vines, is multilingual. Her German students get a true taste of Germany, as her European accent is authentic. Be¬ sides teaching part-time at Magnet, Ms. Mowak attends Centenary, work- ing toward additional certification. Her students are enthusiastic and talented. Kristina Owen took it upon herself to secure a spot in the year- book. She said that the group may be small, but we do a lot. John Penu- el scored extremely high on the na- tional German test. The stylish Ms. Mowak expects the best from her stu¬ dents and accepts nothing less. WORKS. 100 - 19 ! 4 EGO AMO TE is not the only phrase they know.
