Scheduled
OPEN SEPTEMBER 20

Two courses never before offer
ed in extension have been sche-
duled for the expanded program

open on September 20. Of con-
siderable value to those interested
in languages will be the course in
elementary Italian which will be
taught by DR.. Yvonne Mahru,

ment with the extension faculty

years at the Ursuline Academy
and has substituted in the public
school system of Delaware as a
language instructor. Her husband,
DR.. M. Mario Mahru, is an intern
ist at the Veterans Hospital in
Elsmere. Although she plans to
provide the necessary grammati-
cal basis in her instruction, DIR.
Mahru stresses that conversation
will be an important feature of
the course. Easy conversation and
fundamental reading knowledge
should be possible at the conclu-
sion of years work. Also avail
able for the first time outside the
