"I can bring back what I learn of the spoken language and the way people live to show my pupils when I teach elementary Spanish. This summer's experience will enable me to better understand the culture. Then I can explain and tell my students about the people and culture.
THE PROGRAM for second-year study of French, German and Spanish was approved last month by the Board of Regents. It was initiated by J. A. Burzle, professor of German and chairman of the department of Germanic and Slavic languages and for many years a
A SPECIAL N O N-CREDIT course has been set up for the group to familiarize them with the country in which they will be living for two months and to add to their ability to engage in simple conversation. A similar "prep" course has been a feature of the "Junior Year in Costa Rica" program and has been found valuable.

NATO Language Bans 'Improved'
VILSECK, Germany—(UP1)—NATO's international tactical command works efficiently when the non-American officers speak English. Language barriers seem lower than those in the past.
That is the experience of the men participating in Winter-shield II, a maneuver within shooting distance of the Czech border by 60,000 American, German and French soldiers.
The maneuver began last Thursday with an aggressor attack and ends tomorrow with the aggressors in flight.
COL. THEODORE MATUSIS, commanding the 505th airborne battle group, said "After Korea this is like a dream come through."
In Korea, commanding the 17th infantry, Matusis's command included Puerto Ricans and Koreans and his flank was covered by Colombians.
"I used to go through the Korean area putting up signs ordering that there be one English-speaking man per hut," he recalled.
BUT HERE in Europe, language barriers are much lower. In most of the Colonel's American companies there is at least one sergeant who speaks German fluently, having either learned it from his parents in the United States or having emigrated there from a German-speaking country.
Most of the German officers in the German battle groups speak English. English is taught in most primary schools in this country.
THE SITUATION in the French units is similar, with perhaps fewer English-speaking officers at company level.
