Cottage cheese and
How do you say cottage
cheese in Spanish when the
Spanish don't even eat cottage
cheese?
This is just one problem
and joy that students eating
at Las Mesas De Espanol
(Spanish tables) face at dinner,
Monday through Friday, Karen
Prosterman, a student
participant in the language
table program, said Thursday.
"Students talk about history
and verbs in every Spanish
class.' ' she noted, "But they
get little experience talking
about things in daily life like
cottage cheese."
Prosterman explained that
situations like cottage cheese
usually cause laughter and
creativity. "Queso bianco"
(light cheese) was the closest
translation the students and
graduate assistant could find.
The language table program
was the idea of Hector Romero,
assistant professor of Spanish.

that I have nothing to con
tribute to the good goverance of

Davis asserts that nig
character is not really an
issue.
"The Regents, wlio are in
telligent men, know that one
cannot judge character from a
few isolated incidents like those

know that they are 850 miles

"Students should have the
opportunity to learn to live
Spanish," he said, "to relate to
the culture, to increase their
vocabulary and to learn words
they would use in Spain every
day."
About 35-40 students are
participating in the two week
old program, according to
Romero. Selleck Quad, Pound
Cather, Abel-Sandoz and
Harper-Schramm-Smith each
have one language table,
Conversation tables are
presently all in Spanish.
Romero said that he hopes to
open a similar program for
students interested in French
soon.
Each Spanish table includes
a graduate student in Spanish
to initiate conversation and
correct mistakes. Of the six
presently involved, Spanish is
the native tongue of three.
"We usually talk about the
food or what happened during
reasons
away from the facts upon
which I acted and so are in no
position to judge my tact,
judgment, or objectivity
themselves."
Davis said the Regents did not
talk with members of the
University of Nebraska's
Philosophy Department who
had met him nor did they ask
to personally interview him.
"Could It be," Davis said,
"That all the talk of character
is irrelevant? That the real
issue is one of politics?"

the day," Margret Tomassi, a
graduate student from
Pennsylvania, said.
Another graduate student,
Cladine Kaiser Lenoir from
Argentina, noted that beginning
Spanish students often get the
most out of the conversations.
"The emphasis at the tables
should not be on correcting
grammar," Lenoir said. "Let
the students talk. Its more im
portant that they talk without
being inhibited than that they
say everything right."
When groups like to t a 1 k, it's
exciting for the graduate
assistant as well as the student,
Lenoir rioted.
Prosterman said that
students were beginning to talk
more frequently and fluently
after only two weeks.
"At first we were all really
shy," she added. "Now we're
gaining a little confidence."
