Le Petit Bavard

Unique in that it is the only foreign language student publication at the University, "The Little Chatterer" in its second year of existence has made numerous progressive departures in content and· design. Editor Jim Martin, Tyrus Winter, Wilma Moore, Patricia Snapp, Margaret Ann Mess and Jeanne McLaughlin were the advanced French students comprising the 1937-38 staff. Issued monthly, the paper has taken on a truer Gallic flavor as well as added precision through the efforts of Mme. Fauvet-Mclaughlin, native Frenchwoman and former Parisian, who served as faculty advisor.

Innovations included exclusive dispatches from Paris , a distinctive artistic element provided through the cover portraits, cartoons and sketches drawn by Margaret Ann Mess, a department "Des Arts, de la Musique, de la Litterature," a special section devoted to articles of interest to women, a gossip column, accounts from French history, and the editor's regular political articles describing a turbulent year in French government.
