Repetition Is Emphasis
By Richard Currie
"The Ph.D. is my goal," Robert Bernard, assistant instructor of French says.
How come French?
Bernard is a graduate student from St. Paul, Minnesota, working towards his M.A. in French. But the summit is his desire.
Bernard did his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota, taking an A.B. in English.
"I had almost as many hours in French as in English and language was an open field at the time," Bernard says. "I saw a chance of capitalizing on the assistantship and took it." Bernard graduated from Minnesota in 1959.
He came to KU in 1959-60. Last year he was in France on a Fulbright traveling grant and taught English in Paris.
Speaking firmly and evenly, Bernard said a foreign language teacher had to study in the country of whose language he taught. "It's indispensable," he said.
He plans to return to France as soon as possible. Finances must first be available.
He sat at a typewriter when he was interviewed and answered the questions forthrightly and with a desire to impart some of himself to the reporter. His voice remained smooth, even when a colleague used his phone to carry on a vociferous conversation in French.

Dag, South African Given Nobel Prize
OSLO — (UFI) — In two unprecedented moves, Nobel Peace Prizes were awarded today to the late Dag Hammarskjold and to an African native chief who battled South Africa's white supremacy policies.
The Nobel Prize Committee of the Norwegian Parliament named Hammarskjold for the 1961 peace award It was the first time the coveted prize has been given posthumously.
FOR THE PREVOUSLY-VACANT 1960 prize, the committee chose Albert Luthuli, a Zulu chieftain who is president of the African National Congress and chief foe of apartheid (white supremacy) in the Republic of South Africa.
The prize money for Hammarskjold's award is equivalent to $50,-

"We use sound rooms, and in many cases native instructors," he said. "The native instructors increase the student's chance of mastering the language."
Bernard says he drills students constantly, both orally and written, to get the material to them.
Weather
"Language is a matter of repetition," he says.
The Lawrence area will be partly cloudy and much colder today. Temperature will not rise much today with the high in 50s. Fair weather predicted tonight with freezing temperatures by morning and lows 28 to 32. Tuesday will be fair, with a high in the 50s.
The Weather Bureau said the predominant weather pattern of last week—fine brisk fall temperatures—will continue this week. There will be some warming about mid-week, and little or no precipitation is expected.
In light of the present controversy, Miss Kurt said, "A complete lack of appropriations for campus activities has hampered the committee and so the committee is being crucified again this year.
ning for the fourth time in the last two years.
"I can see a tremendous potential in NSA at KU. It is the only organization which represents students nationally," she said. "Yet the committee here has been forced to spend its time fighting for its survival."
"Why doesn't the ASC give the committee an opportunity to serve the KU student?" she asked.
