It's Back to France

/ By E. J. Duffy COLD SPRING — Burlington socks? "That's all he could talk about — Burlington socks," an amused Phyllis Genovese said of the French exchange student who has been sharing her family's Lower Township home here for the past month. Gucci, Laurent, Jordache, Ocean Pacific and Izod are apparently ... - ai v ctppa iciiuj'

passe, at least with the younger generation in Jerome Gaertner's part of France. "A lot of people want to have Burlington socks, he laughed as he packed some for his trip home "It's the fashion for the moment " . Gaertner, 18, and two other French students who have been staying with Cape families, are leaving today Their visits were arranged through Nacel Cultural Exchanges Marie Christine Roger, 17, a farm girl from Rozay-en-Brie near Paris, has been the guest of Dr Robert J Furey's family in Wildwood Crest and Oliver Folloard, 18, of Mulhouse in Alsace has been seeing the / sights compliments of the Perry Collier r family in Cape May, Collier is a Cape May City Elementary \ School Board member who operates Col- \ lier's Liquor Stpre Ltd. at Jackson and Lafayette streets * • ITS REALLY QUITE AN experience," Gendvese said of the visit from abroad which took her to her first look at the Liberty Bell when she and her children traveled to Philadelphia to show it to Gaertner. "He likes the people," added. the local RealU**, politician and wife of cpmmercial fisherman Albert Genovese. Still, the native of Huisseau-Cosson was a bit puzzled by some American customs, she said, like munching corn on the cob at a summer barbeque "He wasn't thrilled about that," she reported, noting that in Gaertner's area of France, about 250 kilometers south of

Paris, corn is not served warm and whole but usually in kernels as a cold accent to salads Accents of the linguistic sort proved bewildering to Folloard, Pat Collier ex plained. Despite his seven years' training in English, her guest found the rapid U S dialect difficult to translate and the French-Canadians' version of his native tongue an equally tough nut to crack The Collier's son, Josh, 11, has been showing Folloard the ropes here but he, like Gaertner, seems more refined than Americans in dining habits Folloard insists on eating sandwiches with a knife and fork, for example. A visit with the Colliers to the historical sites in Washington, D.C., Thursday was the "highlight of his trip," Pat Collier said. "I think they're kinfj of amazed at the prices over here," she added, speaking for the Frensh students. According to Katherine Taylor of Delaware — who, with husband Charles, arranges the Nacel Cultural Exchanges - 90 European teenagers visited the area this summer and 30 U.S. students from the region took the trip abroad. Eaclj has had several years' training in the language of the host country. The four-week excursions, which include travel expenses, cost $790, up $30 from last year, Mrs. Taylor said. Applications for next year's exchange will be accepted in January and February, she added. For more information about them, call the Taylors at (302 ) 328-1870.

Switch Colleges, Save Money?

( From Page 1 > "There are some potential advantages to Cumberland County." said Freeholder James S Kilpatrick Jr., whose responsibilities include education, "not the least of which is a $29 chargeback versus $66 We are looking to provide more and pay less " The Cape May Countv *»ducational turf is up for grabs Cumberland County was originally designated as the "service delivery agent" for a college-less Cape May County back in 1966 In 1968 that was changed to Atlantic County But several years ago the state Department of Higher Education did away with service areas DR. KENNETH YOWELL, vice president of Aaddemic and Student Affairs at Atlantic: ^We're very interested in expanding our services in Cape May County I perceive Cape May County as an extension of Atlantic County as far as providing educational services." Dr„ Thomas Henry, dean of Development at Cumberland: "We are exploring the possibility of more deep involvement in Cape May County We have laid out a range of possibilities that ultimately could reduce chargebacks to the county by 50 percent.'* Atlantic, with 4,100 students at its main Mays Landing campus in addition to other locations in Atlantic City, has an extension center in Court House with a full-time director. Cumberland, with 2,500 students at its Vineland main campus, has in the past offered courses at the Coast Guard base in Cape May and the National Guard center at Crest Haven, is currently offering courses at the Woodbine Developmental Center, and will be breaking into the votech campus this fall VO-TECH HAS BEEN offering LPN (licensed practical nurse) courses for almost 20 years and graduated 27 students last Wednesday "The hospital (Burdette Tomlini said good job. but we need RNs (registered nurses),' " said Wilbur J Kistler Jr superintendent at Vo-Tech Thanks to negotiations this summer, Cumberland will give the vo-tech LPN graduates 15 college credits for that program It also will offer two college credit courses English and Psychology required for the RN diploma at vo-tech this fall Next in the works, said Kistler "One year's clinical credit for courses taken at vo-tech ." And finally, he hoped, "the clinical affiliation at Burdette Tomlin and the required academic courses at vo-tech or the hospital, leading to the entire degree program without having to leave the county KISTLER SAID negotiations were continuing "for similar consideration for several other programs ." He named medical office assistant, dental office assistant, word processing, child care assistant and a marine environmental program Atlantic also will be offering some programs at vo-tech, Kistler indicated, but there appeared to be a preference for Cumberland. "My motivation is that Cumberland seems to be more amenable to solving mutual problems," he said "They're look ing for ways to broaden their c unguium and provide more opportunities for kids "Atlantic will continue to offer programs, he said. "We're not foreclosing any options, just increasing opportunities "WE MET WITH BILLY (Kistler) on numerous occasions," said Atlantic's V Yowell, "and discussed a number of ■ possibilities such as perhaps using the vo; tech center plus expanding the credit-non-Arraignment Monday FISHING CREEK — Residents Joseph and John Gormley. both 20, of this Lower Township community, are scheduled to be arraigned Monday for buring a cross June 30 on the lawn of the Woodland Road summer home owned by their black neighbors, Carl and Joan Vance Johnson of Washington, D C. Gormley and Rack told police the incident was just "a prank" but county grand jurors didn't buy it. They indicted the pair last week on one count each of causing fear of bodily violence.

credit programs throughout Cape May s County r "I think the flow of discussions with the i- people in Cape May County was inter it rupted because of our change in » presidents," he added y Yowell conceded the last such meeting was in June when discussions were "not s substantive, more or less a statement of our willingness to extend and expand our y educational services to Cape May County. "I feel we have not done as much as we n could have to meet the educational needs c of the citizens of Cape May County," said e Yowell. "Our main interest would be in y utilizing facilities in Cape May County on a rental or leasing basis and have our faculi- ty go to Cape May County sites and offer t Atlantic Community College couises, i- making it a true extension center." "I WANT TO BE MORE than a landlord n just offering space," said Kistler. "My § motive is to get the kids started here in Cape May County and to jointly decide on *■ what's being taught. Atlantic is offering I some accounting next semester, but I don't [) have any participation on what is being ofi fered to whom ' 1 Cumberland, on the other hand, is look0 ing beyond extension center to branch campus 1 "The critical thing is whether an entire r degree program would be offered in the i county," said Cumberland's Henry. "More ? than 15 courses or leading to a degree would make it a branch campus. The > critical difference would be whether the students would have to travel out of the i county to complete their education. With a branch, they would not have to." ; Also with a branch campus, Henry said, I the county could refuse to pay - chargebacks for students who chose to attend community colleges elsewhere (such as Atlantic). ATLANTIC COLLEGE feels it should be serving the citizeqj of Cape May County since it does not have its own college," said Yowell "And since Cumberland also borders Cape May County, it may have a similar view But we are not aware of the fervor that Cumberland County has toward Cape May County " A branch campus includes comprehensive educational services including admissions. registration, counseling, financial aid, etc The entire issue was discussed with Edward Hollander, commissioner of higher education, last month Present were Kilpatrick, Kistler and Robert G Bongart. county superintendent of Schools who also serves on the vo-tech school board Also present was Henry of Cumberland, but no representative from Atlantic. "We all agree," said Kilpatrick, "including the chancellor of higher education. that Cape May County does not warrent its own community college. We wanted to advise him of our intention to look into expanding the availability of higher education in Cape May County through the vo-tech school with Cumberland. ^ "And we also have arrangements with Atlantic," he added. KILPATRICK SAID the meeting with Higher Education was done "as a matter of courtesy ." And, he said, Atlantic would be told about it all by Cumberland, also "as a matter of courtesy . " "This is all in the exploratory stages " said Kikpatrick "We simply had preliminary discussions," said Bongart "There were no contracts, no agreements signed, or even a handshake '"
