are designed to fa the German
degree plan
The one -month program should
expose the students to American
culture ar well as college life, the
release stated
lire Irwin, avistant professor
of modern languages, is the coor-
dinator for the exchange
program
A similar-sized group of
American students will travel to
Hildesheim in Lower Saxony to
allend four weeks of school dur-
ing their rummer vacation.
American students will also
have the opportunity to enroll in
German 3490. Studies m German
1 Language and Culture, taught by
a University faculty member. Ir-
win said
She added that course credits
will be transferrable.
In addition, Irwin said, “This
program might dispel prejudices
on both sides,” referring to
political situations in Germany
The German government payr
for the college education of
students, Irwin raid "I would
like for German students to ree
that Americans work to pay for
their education (American
students) don't have their
(government) pay everything for
them "
Irwin said that since most
American students have to work
to pay for their college education,
they are more capable of coping
with life than most European
students
On the other hand, she said,
Europeans are more capable of
adapting easily to different
cultures because they are sur-
rounded by different countries
To fulfill the program’s goal,
an American-host family for each
of the 15 exchange students is
needed for the incoming German
students from February to March
next year.
Both the American and Ger-
man hosts must agree to provide
room and board for the visiting
student in their home town
Interested University students
should contact the Department of
Languages and Linguistics by

“I’m sure Dean Avila will do
something,” Mountin said. "As
for (Lopez), he’s an alumni
member, so there’s nothing I can
do to him, but we are comider-
ing action against (Medrano) ''
"He is a member of the frater-
nity and that’s not the kind of ac-
tion I condone,” Mountin said
in September, Mountin said the
new state law would have no ef-
fect on Kappa Sigma because its
national chapter’s constitution
already forbade any acts of
hating.
Mountin said he has already
talked to national chapter
representatives and they agreed
with his conclusions that the in-
cideni wan between individuals
Medrano said he heard the mat
ter would go before the fraterni-
ty for judgment, but he does not
feel any hazing happened
Both Mountin and Medrano
said they believe Ramos is angry
about being kicked out of the
fraternity They said he failed to
maintain the necessary grades and
had not fulfilled his financial
obligations to the fraternity

“One day before Mr Ramos
decided to report this incident he
was kicked out of the fraternity,”
Mountin said. “If this incident
was so serious and he felt so
strongly about it, then why did it
take him three months to report
it?"
Ramos said he did not report
the incident when a happened
because he believed it would
jeopardize his chances of joining
the fraternity
But Mountin said, "If an incl-
dent like that had been brought to
my attention and the individual
felt strongly enough about it, he
should have said something to me
at that time and I would have
taken appropriate action and there
would have been no repercus-
sions to him “
Ramos seal Mountin was
aware of the incident when it hap-
pened because Mountin was one
of the people Ramos talked to
when he was trying to get a ride
hack to the fraternity house
Mountin denied any knowledge
