He's
taking
French
at UCA
By RON GRIZZLE
Michael Tallot is not your everyday,
run of the mill French exchange student.
Born and raised in France, living most
of his life in Paris, he quite naturally
speaks French. However, he has lived and
studied in quite a few other countries -
Canada, Mexico, the United States, Great
Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union,
to name a few - and has learned to speak
English, German, and Russian, as well.
Understandably he is at the University
studying French. As a graduate student
with the equivalent of an M.A. degree
from Nice University, he also teaches two
classes of French a week. And he is taking
a graduate course in the language himself.
Michael is at the University through
the courtesy of the U. S. cultural
exchange program. He will teach and
study here until the end of the school
year when his assistantship will be
renewable. At that time, he hopes to
study at New York University.
He is presently fulfilling degree
requirements for his Ph D. He desires to
continue teaching as a career. However,
he admitted a secret ambition to publish
a magazine someday devoted entirely to
interviews.
“TAKE AN ISSUE like drugs," he said,
“and get various people to give their
views. Have the pros on one side and the
cons on the other. And don’t just get
ordinary people - get someone like Tim
Leary, say.
“But the problem there is no one
knows where Leary is now,” he said.
Michael related difficulty in
readjusting to America this September.
He studied previously at a high school in
Massachusetts from 1959-60. In 1965-66
he attended a Massachusetts prep school,
Phipps Academy.
“But that has been at least six years
ago. When I returned this fall, I had to
learn to appreciate America from a new
point of view. Six years makes quite a
difference!”
MICHAEL’S TRAVELING back
ground is due to the fact that his father is
a French cultural consultant. His work
has taken him from Moscow to Paris to
Cambridge, Mass., where he taught
French several years at Harvard
University. And usually, where his father
traveled, Michael traveled, too.
Admitting a preference for the travel,
Michael added that he planned to do a bit
of traveling in the United States.
“I PLAN TO go to Florida for
Christmas because it’ll be warm down
there. And in the spring I’d like to go
back to California." Michael has lived in
California, also
Why did he come to America again to
study?
“In France, I had a choice - go teach
in a foreign country or go into the
army!"
Answering a question about student
activism in his native France, he replied,
“You’re asking me a very difficult
question.”
HE WENT ON to explain that a great
difference existed between American
students and French students in that
there was much more divergency in the
French political system itself.
“In France there are so many parties
- the Gaulists, of course, of which there
are the liberals and the conservatives, the
Independent Republicans, the Socialists,
and a Moscow-oriented Communist
Party.”
He stressed that those groups most
politically similar were those that fought
each other most.
STUDENT ACTIVISTS, particularly
the Maoists and the Moscow-oriented
Communists, spend more time fighting
between each other than they do
concentrating on issues, he said.
Having studied at institutions in
Europe and America, he is “very much
impressed as a whole with the University
here.” However, of Athens he said, "It
amazed me that no one may drink and
dance after midnight in this town.”
Of American football he admitted a
complete lack of understanding. But the
one thing that impressed him most about
it was “the way you dress to attend one
of those affairs.”
“In France people don’t go to any
fuss to look well-dressed at a sports
match.”

Meanwhile, the DOA is
already spending $12 to $15

entire flocks in Claifornia to
try to keep the disease
isolated. Garren said.
SEVERAL OF the Regents
said they were concerned
about finding an innoculation
for the disease before it
spreads east because they
consider poultry an important
economic factor in Georgia.
Regent Cher lee A. Harris
said, “We might just have the
type mind out there in Athens
or elsewhere in the system that
could find the vaccine.”

department He said his county
agents were spending more
time taking 411 Club members
to district, state and regional
meetings than making contact
with the farmers and house
wives who have immediate,
practical needs for the county
agents' services.
Ellington recommended us
ing paraprofessionals more
with the 4-H’ers, since "it
doesn't take a college educa
tion to drive a bunch of kids to
a meeting." He said the
extension service will ask for
an additional $734,000 for this
and other improvements.
T1IE REGENTS authorized
two extension programs at the
University, in the only sched
uled business that applied
directly to the University. A
one-year program of graduate
training in service totheelderly
required Regents approval
because it involves an agency
outside the University System,
the state department of human
resources.
The program, in effect since
September, is funded mainly
by federal grants, but is
costing the University $46,000
The program is aimed at
training specialists in care for
the elderly in social work and
home economics, teachers to
teach more specialists in care
for the elderly, and adminis
trators to plan programs in
gerontology at local, state and
federal levels, according to the
Regents' report from President
Davison.
The Regents approved an
agreement between the Uni
versity’s College of Business
Administration and the Geor
gia Real Estate Commission to
adapt the state real estate
examinations for machine gra
ding. The project will earn the
University six dollars for every
test its machines grade.
