The subject matter of the still

Italian Bom Miller
Begins At Mercer
By Mike ZmistowsU
This year Mr. Robert Miller has
joined the language department
here at Mercer. The young Mr.
Miller is quadralingual, fluently
speaking English Italian, Spanish
and French. At this time he teaches
only French 11 and 61.
Born in Italy, Mr. Miller moved
to New York at a very age. There
he attended private elementary
schools. He then lived in Morocco
and Algeria for eight years. The
last five years Mr. Miller has resid
ed in Paris and other parts of
France, teaching English and
French in private schools.
In August of this year, Mr. Mil
ler returned to the United States
and his newly acquired job at Mer
cer. When asked why he is now
teaching in the U. S., Mr. Miller
replied that the very necessary job
of teaching is becoming more and
more important here since a greater
percentage of Americans are now
seeking a college education.
While discussing his teaching
methods, Mr. Miller expressed the
belief that the primary aspect in
learning a language is to understand
it’s structure. “Once you compre
hend the structure and have correct
pronunciation, you know the lan
guage." With regards to French,
Mr. Miller thinks that learning to
speak the language is the gradual
comprehension of the French frame
of mind.
It can be seen that Mercer Uni
versity has definitely received an
other asset to the language depart
ment: Mr. Robert Miller.

Seminar Opens Now
In Scandanavia
The Scandinavian Seminar is
now accepting applications for its
study abroad program in Denmark.
Finland, Norway or Sweden for the
academic year 1968-09. This unique
living-and-leaming experience will
particularly appeal to college stu
denta, graduates and other adults
who want to become part of another
culture while acquiring a second
language. The focus of the Semi
nar's program is the student’s In
dependent Study Project in his
special field of interest.
The student in the Seminar pro
gram stays 2 to 8 weeks with a
family in the Scandinavian country
of his choice, using the language
daily and sharing in the activities
of the community. For the major
part of the year he lives and studies
among Scandinavians at a Folk
High School — a residential school
for young adults. He is completely
separated from his fellow American
students throughout the Seminar
year except during the periods of
intensive language instruction and
during the three genera) courses
conducted under the supervision of
the Seminar’s American director,
Dr. Adolph G. Anderson, Dean of
New College of Hofstra University.
Over 100 American colleges and
universities have given either partial
or full credit for the Seminar year.

Mid-Terms Over
Homecoming Down W. C. Way
by Judy White
Now that mid-terms are over, Wesleyannes can ielax a
little and begin planning for Homecoming ’67. The activities
planned for Nov. 17 and 18 promise variety and a lot of fun.
The enthusiasm of the students will be seen through the festivq
decorations on the campus furnished by each class.
Friday evening will begin with a
oookout at the lake, followed by a
bonfire staged
by the Social
Standards Board
members. The
Washboard Band
will perform,
along with a folk
singing group
from another
college.
Later in the
evening, a party at the cabin will
feature a marsh mellow roast, good
music, and a rustic atmosphere for
Wesleyannes and their dates.
Saturday morning, competition
between the classes will culminate
on the soccer field as each class
White
team competes (or the coveted soc
cer cup. Rivalry between the classes
is mounting, so the games should
be very interesting even to male
soccer fans.
While the Wesleyannes attend
the traditional Homecoming ban
quet, their dates will be well enter
tained at a “Stag party’ in the rec
reation room. They can relax and
enjoy the games on T.V. while eat
ing lunch.
Maurice Williams and the Zodi
acs will be featured at the semi-
formal dance on Saturday night.
During the dance, the Homecom
ing Queen will he crowned from the
court of five senior beauties. Fol
lowing the dance, breakfast will be
served in the snack bar.

thus question depends upon how
southern Baptists respond to four
great forces: the secularization of
western Christian life and culture,
growing federalism, the missionary
work and the ecumenical move
