EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Monday. April 8. 1963 Pno A Vi French Group Schedules First Meeting on Campus First meeting o( Le Cercle Francais De Eugene will take place in Erb Student Union on University of Oregon campus Thursday at 8 p.m., featuring as guest speaker Monsieur Michel Sciama, Cultural Attache' of the French Consulate in San Fran cisco. M. Sciama will peak in French on "The New French Cinema." Official hosts for this open ing meeting will be Monsieur Adrien Favre, visiting professor of French literature on campus, and the University of Oregon chapter of Pi Delta Phi, French Honorary Society. Following M. Sciama's talk, there wil be a social hour of informal conversation in French. Befreshments will be aerved. As sponsor of the Eugene French Circle, Monsieur Favre wishes to emphasize that the society is not an extension class of a language teachers' associa tion. "It is a French speaking society warmly welcoming everyone interested in France, the French language, and French culture," according to M. Favre, who has founded a number of "circles" in England. Such a group offers lectures, films, discussions in French fol lowed by a soiree of conversa tion between members, friends and visitors from France, he notes. Each local society, fur thermore, becomes affiliated with the Alliance Francaise, an association numbering over 200 other French circles in the Unit ed States and over 1,000 similar societies in 84 other countries, according to M. Favre. The aim of this world-wide organization, whose headquarters are at 101 Boulevard Raspail in the Latin Quarter of Paris, is the dif fusion of the French language and culture, he says. The Paris center welcomes all visiting members and offers travellers in France an opportunity to meet French people in their own profession or field of in terest. In addition the Alliance Francaise offers a list of French magazines and newspapers to send to its international chap- " & A 1 " M. ADRIEN FAVRE Hosts Group Meeting ters and informs members a particular region of the ar rival of French visitors.
