Page 6 THE EIGHTH TRIBE May, 1980 HUNGARIAN STUDIES July 17 — August 15, 1980 Personal challenge!? Family heritage!? Ethnic pride!? Scholarly interest!? Job opportunities!? Community service!? Whichever is your foremost concern, the Hungarian Summer Program in Ada, Ohio will serve you well. It provides an opportunity for intense language study. It also provides an opportunity for complete immersion in a culture, history and group experience that is unattainable—in a Hungarian context—in any other summer program within the continental U.S.A. For six weeks you will live within a setting wherein you, your classmates and your instructors will have Hungarian studies as your main concern. Even during your free time when you are not in classroom, language laboratory or library, you will have the opportunity to practice what you learn. The program will be held on the attractive campus of Ohio Northern University. The modern classroom and housing facilities ensure personal comfort as well as pleasant surroundings! In the dormitories, in the cafeteria or on weekend outings which are planned for the program, we contemplate the constant use of Hungarian. In fact, we will ask our students to pledge at the outset, that for the duration of the program they will use Hungarian as their language of communication. The formal course of study begins on July 7th and ends on August 15th. An additional optional 7th week of field study is contemplated in the Hungarian- American neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio from Aug. 16th to Aug. 22nd. To apply for the summer program you must be at least 16 years old and have an interest in Hungarian studies. College credit for the course of study is provided by Portland State University. The courses to be offered are the following: A. Hungarian Language courses at all levels for which a minimum of five students register. These will include development and improvements of writing, reading and conversational skills. (Three hours of class time per day four days per week) B. History of the Hungarian People (One hour of class time per day four days per week for six weeks) C. Politics in East-Central Europe Since World War II (One hour of class time per day four days per week for six weeks) D.

Field Research Project in Toledo Hungarian- American Community (One week of field work in the Birmingham area) H.

The tuition for the initial six weeks is $250. It is an additional $30. for those who wish to participate in the 7th week of field research. Housing costs will be $19. per week in one of the residence halls on the campus of ONU. The meal plan in the cafeteria will be $6.00 per day for three meals (breakfast, lunch, supper). Ohio Northern University has an excellent central location within easy reach of most mid-Western urban centers. Ada is close to the Old Lincoln Hghway (Highway 30) and Interstate 75. The major Amtrak line connecting Chicago and New York also passes through Ada and stops in nearby Lima. Greyhound services the towns of Lima, Findlay and Kenton (all within easy reach of Ada). There is airline service to both Dayton and Toledo south and north of Ada respectively. Social life and entertainment opportunities also abound. For the program participants it is anticipated that we will have some group tours to points of interest in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, including excursions to Middle Bass Island on Lake Erie, The Neil Armstrong Space Museum in Wapakoneta and the Toledo Museum of Fine Art. On-campus activities will include a special lecture series and a weekly Hungarian movie.
