Je pense Gerard
Depardieu est
trds gross.
I think French actors
are quite lovely.
Wave goodbye french fries. See you, Ragu. Plant
your Southeast Texas hindquarter in a plane seat
and point your nose toward Paris on June 1. Once
again, Lamar’s favorite
American Frenchman,
Ken Rivers, is
gathering the
culturally
starved for a
European tour.
“I orga-
nize a different
tour every year, usu-
ally involving Paris
and at least one other
destination,” Rivers
said. “With the Sistine
Chapel just recently
restored, this is clearly
the year for Rome.”
“This is the kind
of tour that sells itself,”
Rivers said. “Who in his
right mind wouldn’t
want to visit Paris, the
Riveria, Florence and
Rome?”
Rivers, a Lamar
French professor,
has signed with EF
Tours to give
everyone, stu-
dents and the
general public alike, a chance to devour a heaping
spoonful of French cuisine and Italian culture.
“You’re going to gain weight, it’s inevitable,”
Brandy Copley from Nederland, a student who
went last summer, said. “There’s too much good
food, and cream is on everything. You will be fat
when you come home.”
In the study abroad program last summer,
Copley filled her bowl with France. From experi-
ence, Copley said not to be scared and don’t be so
American. “It’s not America. There is a
McDonald’s, but I wouldn’t advise going there,”
Copley said. “Be open-minded. Nobody minds
speaking English. In fact, they would rather speak
English than hear our terrible French.”
Although Beaumont claims to be the museum
capital of Texas, it’s no Jack Kennedy compared to
Paris and the Louvre. Spending another summer in
Southeast Texas could mean driving to Fame City
Waterworks and helping with the harvest.
“Summer in Europe means 72 degrees and no
humidity. But you can adjust to that if you really
try,” Rivers said.
“This is a great chance to experience a part of
the world I’ve always seen in textbooks,” said
Benny Burnett, a junior marketing major from
Groves, who is going this summer.
For less than $2,000, expect pre-paid air fare
from Houston, hotel rooms, two meals a day, guid-
ed sightseeing, and admission to museums and
attractions. “The price may sound like a lot of
money,” Rivers said, “but if it were any lower you
would have to swim over.”
“Luckily, no one ever gets tired of visit-
ing with old friends such as Mona Lisa,
Venus de Milo and Michaelangelo’s
David,” Rivers said. “We can’t guarantee
that the Pope will come out of Saint
Peter’s to shake hands with everyone,
but who knows? It could happen.”
Today at 12:30 p.m., Rivers will
hold an informative meeting about
the tour in 201 Education
Building. Mike Reed of the con-
tinuing education office, will
explain how students can
receive three hours education-
al credit for the trip. If you
cannot attend the meeting
and would like more
information, call Ken
Rivers at 880-8595 or
Mike Reed at 880-8433.
