Home atmosphere, good food

The drive out is peaceful.
The wood-frame building in
vites guests to come home for
supper. Not dinner, but supper
“I want more catfish,” a
youngster shouts, causing a
platterful to be passed his
way.
“Do you want more chicken,
Sam?" a mother questions as
she distributes the pieces to
her flock
•Sound like home? It is - the
home c f the Swamp Guinea.
Eating Out
With wood paneled walls,
linoleum floors and plates
reminiscent of those your
grandmother used to serve you
pinto beans and cornbread on,
the Swamp Guinea Restaurant
outside of Athens remains a
home away from home for
good eatin' in a laid-back,
casual style.
“I've had people eat with me
who’ve never eaten out be
fore." owner K J. Burroughs
said as he stroked his chin to
recall the past 13 years. “They
feel like they’re not going out."
The food is what you come
here for. It’s good and there’s
lots of it as you sit down to the
standard bowl of cole slaw,
tartar sauce, a loaf of bread, a
pitcher of tea and a bottle of
Hunt’s ketchup that accom
panies every dish.
But the Swamp Guinea is
more It’s an experience. It’s a
place to relax and converse
after a long day behind a desk
or behind a plow, where ties,
blue jeans and work clothes sit
down together It’s a place
where families can go and
baby brother can sit at the end
in an old wooden highchair
If conversation ever drags,
all one has to do is enjoy the
mementos from the past that
decorate the corners, walls and
ceilings Burroughs has ac
cumulated hundreds of anti
ques and artifacts over the
years and they’re all right
there to be seen.
A 150-year-old bathtub stands
in the corner. An old victrola
sits on the counter Music
emitted by a hand-cranked
nickelodeon as its many cogs
slowly turn A car tag from out
of the past says "Let’s Keep
Talmadge".
“When I first built the
Swamp Guinea 13 years ago.
the road out here was dirt and
I had only one dining room.
But so many people came out
here to eat that eventually, the
road had to be paved and I had
to add three more dining
rooms," Burroughs said.
As for the variety of
customers the restaurant has
attracted, Burroughs boasted
that one couple eats at the
Swamp Guinea six nights a
week.
“I’ve served doctors, law
yers. and Indian chiefs. I’ve
even had Gov. Maddox and
film and Grand Ole Opry star
Slim Pickens out here,” he
said.
Mrs. Burroughs expressed
her own ideas about the
Guinea as she received affect
ionate hugs and kisses from
some of the diners as they left.
"The atmosphere is down to
earth It makes me realize that
the simple and not the
glamorous life is what is
important I felt at ease the
first time I walked in here,”
she said.
"Did you get enough to eat*’”
a father queries his son
"I’m full,” the son replies.
It’s the fun kind of full when
you know it’s all your own
fault.
Language programs broadened
By ROBIN RINGLER
Laura Rumsey was the first. Two more
students followed after her this summer and
one more will do it at the end of fall quarter.
What are these students doing? Well, they not
only speak French fluently, but they also know
probably as much about France as someone
who has been living there a long time.
These students are. or were, a part of the
French Studies Program here at the
. University.
The program and its older sister, the Latin
American Studies Program, are part of the
Romance languages department in the College
of Arts and Sciences. Rumsey, a journalism
student, was the first to finish the French
program, which was started in the winter of
1977.
The Latin American program was est
ablished in the summer of 1974.
Here’s a rundown of the programs: An
interested student with a 2.5 or better grade
point average must apply for admission into
the program before the end of the first quarter
oi his or her sophomore year. The student must
also have completed the 104 level of the
preferred language
When he is accepted into the program, 40
hours of courses in areas like history, art.
government, geography, literature, philosophy
and the language itself must be taken Upon

completion of these requirements, the student
receives a diploma-type certificate from the
department.
You don’t have to be a language major; you
just have to know the language And there is no
time limit for completion of the program.
There are now 23 students enrolled in the
French program which is headed by Dr.
Jean-Pierre Piriou
Piriou said that after he was approached by
some students about starting a French
program, he and Dr. Warren Spencer of the
history department began plans
“The Latin American program already
existed, so we felt there was a need for a
French program too," he said.
The Latin American Studies Program is
coordinated by Dr Manuel D. Ramirez. Five
students have completed the program since its
appearance at UGA There are now 26 students
currently enrolled.
Because of the geographic and historical
proximity of Georgia to Latin America,
Ramirez said, there was a special need for the
program here.
"I cannot help but feel that Georgia, with
Atlanta and Savannah as two outstanding ports
ot entry, should be in a prime position to lead
the Southeast in developing closer agricultural,
commercial, cultural, industrial, and research
relations with Latin America.’’
