The program will be held at 8 p.m. in Harbeson Hall. Color slides and Brazilian music will highlight the evening which is being presented in connection with National Foreign Language Week. The Brazilian theme was chosen because Portuguese will be introduced into the 1965-66 cur¬ riculum. Mrs. Nelson, who will teach the course, has spent her last two summers in Brazil and plans to travel there again this summer. “Since Brazil is becoming in¬ creasingly important to the United States and the Western communi¬ ty, there is a need for people who can speak Portuguese,” said Mrs. Nelson. The National Foreign Language Week program at PCC is being sponsored by the campus chapter of Alpha Mu Gamma, a national honorary foreign language soci¬ ety. Carol Neufeld. president of the PCC chapter, said the program is free of charge and open to the public. — Courier Photo STUDENT PROTEST — Lancers participate in a peaceful demonstra¬ tion held last Thursday at PCC.
