Fund-raising dinner
A $100-a couple dinner will be at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas Union to collect money for the cataloging and processing of Gov. Robert Docking's papers. Docking announced he would leave the papers and his administration to KU. The $2,500 drive for funds is necessary to fund the task of sorting, displaying and displaying them. After they are cataloged, the data will be available to all scholars and students.
Correction...
The name of Dana Lynn Thompson, Leawood senior, was inadvertently omitted from a recent Kansas "In Brief" about persons recently elected to membership in the KU chapter of Phi Bha Kappa. Thompson, a student in the medical technology program of the KU Medical Center, surpassed the required 3.9 grade average for six semesters that is needed for selection to the chapter.

The flooding of French and Italian languages with English words has been going on for years, some foreign language professors said yesterday.
"It has always been going on," Anne Arcombe, assistant professor of French and English at Loyola College.
An infusion of English words is making French a less foreign language for visiting Americans, but some Frenchmen apparently aren't happy about the results.
English words creep into French vocabulary
Reporter
By ROBERT A. GAVIN
The French Academy, which surveys the language, already has given translations to English words that have no value in French, and which are used in psychology use terms that have no
"It's a well-known fact that words from English have entered the French language," David A. Dinnen, professor of linguistics, said. "The process of borrowing French is difficult to linguists. The interest is greater . . . because more people are traveling around."
"It's journalism that really hyperdynes the language," Frances D'Antoni, assistant professor of Franch and Italian, said. "People just adopt certain words."

must be used in English, she said.
One of the origins of Franglais (English and French jumbled together) was "Parlez-vous Franglais"? by Rene Etiemble in the middle 1980s, Kenneth White, professor of French and Italian, said. Part of the book was a "wild parody of jargon," in which everything was written in Anglais and pseudo-American words.
"This created a stir in France at the time," White said.
Etenie, professor of literature at the subroutine, proposes some French words to me.
"There is a basic linguistic tendency nau-

The French Academy is upset by the entrance of English words into their language, Dinnen said. Some language cultures are more conservative, but there is no way to stop it. The word must finally become part of the language, he said.

"The long occupation of French and American tourists have caused this. They're interested in American things and they ask for them," Dimean said.
As a result, the words catch on, he said. Of Français it is just a neologism, D'Arteau.
"It's just Anglacisms into the language," she said.
Mass media, music and business are causing the popular neologism, D'Antoni said. For example, a sweater is called a fleece and cardiots are for market and flippers are pinball.
"Language follows the same style changes as fashions do." D'Antoni said. "It is usually a fashion adopted by people who wear way-out fashions of clothes."
