JE LA SOJLO DE LA NOVA JARO Citaĵoj el Novjara Mesaĝo de la Prezidanto de Universala Esperanto-Asocio Dum la jardeko, kiu nun malfermiĝas antaŭ ni, la Inter- nacia Lingvo Esperanto fariĝos centjara. Tra la jaroj depost 1887, la lingvo alportis ĝojon kaj feliĉon al milionoj da homoj. Ĝi malfermis la horizontojn al simplaj civitanoj, ĝi dissemis sentojn de internaciismo kaj komprenemo en mon- do malpaca, ĝi kreis kulturajn pontojn inter la nacioj, kaj ĝi ebligis praktikan komunikadon inter la homoj en spirito de egaleco. ...Kvankam la rivaleco inter la grandaj naciaj lingvoj ankoraŭ regas en multaj internaciaj rilatoj, Esperanto abunde montris, ke ĝi kapablas plene ludi la rolon de efika internacia lingva komunikilo. ...Restas la demando, ĉu oni utiligos ĝin kiel lingvon de la nova komunika teknologio. Aŭ ĉu oni preferas solvi la internacian lingvan problemon per diskriminaciaj solvoj, favorante certajn naciojn kaj lingvojn, kaj malfavorante aliajn? La respondo al tiu demando restas parte en la fluo de la historio, sed parte ĝi restas en la manoj de la parolantoj de Esperanto. ...Ĉu, do, la jardeko de la 1980aj jaroj estos la jardeko de Esperanto...? Staras preta la lingvo. Malfermiĝas al ni iom post iom la internaciaj organizaĵoj, la publika opinio. Pretas nia Asocio. Je ĉi tiu favora epoko, je la sojlo de nova jardeko, ni redediĉu nin al la laboro por la Internacia Lingvo per novaj fortoj.

NEW YORK CITY United Parents Association NEWSLETTER, Oct. 1979, an- nounced Saturday morning Esperanto classes for parents and children. They are being taught by Charles Marr, an English teacher in the city school system. VIRGINIA Seneca Ridge Middle School, Sterling, VA. In Gail Martin's class for gifted students she has a center on the "Land of Esperanto - It Needs a Place to BE!" Children design the peo- ple, costumes, transportation system, buildings, etc. in the land of Esperanto. They also design the state rock, state flower, state fish, and state T-shirt, etc. named in Esperanto. Finally they actually build Esperanto Land from salt and flour, clay, etc. The school paper for November carried a cartoon strip showing some futuristic-looking people. Sam- ple dialogue: "I've got Esperanto." "Oh no! Is it contagious?" "No, it's fun." "Fun? I don't get it." "You will. Just read this book about it. It's a new language that's so easy even a jerk like you can learn it." "Gee, thanks." "Don't mention it." Author: Lance Other contributions by students reflect an exciting learn- ing atmosphere at Seneca Ridge. Modern Language Association Convention San Francisco Dec. 27-30 Esperantist Professors participating were Humphrey Tonkin (Univ. of Pennsylvania), Pierre Uilman (Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Richard Wood (S.E.

(Genesis 11: 1-9) Last month Esperantists of the First Unitarian Church of San Diego, CA, presented a bilingual audience-participation Esperanto/English Sunday service. It was a first-time ex- perience for most of the audience of 300 who enthusiastical- ly participated in singing an Esperanto translation of a well- known song, and listened to Dr. David Jordan's short history of the language of Esperanto and its place in the world to- day. Bible readings from Genesis, Chapter 11, Verses 1-9, and I Corinthians, Chapter 14, Verses 10-11 were read first in English followed by an Esperanto translation. "And the whole world was of one language and of one speech...and the Lord came down to see the city [of Babel] and the tower which the children of man had built...whose top may reach unto Heaven...and the Lord said...let us confound their language so that they might not understand one another's speech...and the name of the city is called Babel because the Lord did confuse the language of all the earth...and the strength of the Lord scat- tered them abroad." The Esperanto translation used was the original 1887 translation by Ludwig Zamenhof, creator of the international language of Esperanto. Dr. Zamenhof first proved the usability of his language by translating the entire Old Testa- ment into Esperanto. Dr. Jordan, professor of Anthropology, and also a teacher of Esperanto, stressed the ingenuity of Esperanto as a sociological movement since it first appeared in 1887. "It is very hard to think of any organization which has lasted in Europe through two world wars and the birth of Communism, and which spans the gap between the Com- munist and non-Communist countries. There are very few organizations which have that kind of force," he said. "It's growing," Jordan reported. "It's growing in spite of wars, in spite of the lack of any sort of government or of- ficial support, in spite of the fact that it is a grass-roots move- ment without much money. There are lots of Esperantists in the world." "But there is another kind of use of Esperanto in its present stage," Dr. Jordan said. "Even if it doesn't become the univer- sal auxiliary language, it has some important effects upon school children who learn it. Their vocabulary in English in- creases, of course, and once they have studied Esperanto it is easier to study, say, French. The reverse is also true; once you study French it's easier to study Esperanto." "An Esperanto student quickly learns about a lot of in- teresting things happening in the world, even if his interest tends to focus on the Esperanto movement itself. Esperanto is an international movement and the student necessarily becomes involved with a world much wider than his own country. He accumulates pen pals from many countries. Magazines and radio broadcasts in Esperanto put him in touch with the world." "We ask ourselves why God destroyed Babel," Jordan went on. "I'll put it to you that God did it because the people who built the city were proud. Damned proud. These were people without regard to consequences, situations, or anything else. They were going to build a tower which would reach Heaven itself." "But how proud are we about English? How proud are we when we expect that our foreign contacts shouldn't be met half way? How proud are we when we assume that it is a natural occurrence that this world will always publish its scientific works in English, and that we won't ever have to learn another language?" "How proud are we," Jordan asked, "when we expect to visit a country and we assume that tourist facilities will be in English?" "Maybe our tower of English Babel will come down one of these days. Why don't we set aside the pride that sent us to Babel? Why don't we de-Babelize ourselves?" Jordan's talk ended significantly. "Why don't we stop de- nying our children in school the advantages which they'can get from a language which leads them so rapidly to real in- tellectual questions about the ways of language and of language learning?" Following Jordan's sermon, Esperantist members and friends of the Unitarian Church of San Diego gave testimony. Jimmy Main, aged 14, said, "I learned about Esperanto from a science fiction book. I was happy to find that it is a real language." Dena and Bernard Frost told of driving a rented automobile in Valencia, Spain. Their Esperanto hosts did not speak English. "Directions in three languages were being hurled at me simultaneously," Bernie said. "From the front seat, 'A la derecha. No. A la izquierda!' And from the back seat Dena was shouting 'Right. No. Left!' Then from the back seat another voice: 'Dekstren. Ne. Maldekstren!' I must admit that at that point of multilingual stereophonic confusion 'Dekstren, Maldekstren' made the most sense to me." Lewis Levine had just returned from a trip to the Soviet Union. "The thrill of being able to communicate in this universal language of Esperanto with people whom I had just met was beyond words. I could never have associated with these Russian Esperantists had it not been for the universal language. It was our only means of communication since they did not speak English." Summing it up, Gerald Newall said, "I learned Esperanto in adult school in the United States. I found out immediately it was not difficult to learn. The people who spoke it were not starry-eyed idealists trying to replace every other language in the world, but were ordinary people who were using Esper- anto as communication with people all over the world. Esperanto helps develop new and lasting friendships. Esperantujo ('Esperanto-land') is not a country with physical or political boundaries. It can be any time, anywhere, wherever Esperantists meet. Because they always carry it with them in their hearts." In the ensuing week three beginners' classes in Esperanto were organized to meet at the church. These will be taught by Helen and Jesse Burke, Ellie Stein, and Bonnie Helmuth. Another group has been meeting on Monday nights for the past four years. This is a self-guided intermediate group helped by facilitator Irma Kocher.

As an under- graduate student, he was a National Merit Scholar at the National University of Mexico and at Univers- ity of California, Los Angeles, where he receiv- ed his B.A. degree summa cum laude with Departmental Honors in Linguistics and was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He has taught English at Na- tional University of Mexico. He has taught Esperanto, which he learned at age 14, at the UCLA Experimental College and at the Mexico City Esperanto Center. He took his advanced Esperanto study with Prof. William Auld at San Francisco State University. SFSU STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND is in its 11th year and is in need of contributions. Grant Goodail, who will be Dr. Cool's Teaching Assistant in this summer's courses at S.F. State, is an "alumnus" of these courses and was a recipient of scholarship funds. Goodail wrote recently, "The scholarship came at a time when I was entering university, was involved in many things, and rapidly forgetting my Esperanto. Without the course I probably would have remained only nominally tied to the Esperanto movement and would never have taken an active role in it. Without the scholarship I never would have attended the course. I am sure there are many young people in a similar situation now."

LOCAL CLUB NEWS Boston Esperanto Club - The Boston club's most ambitious undertaking last year was its participation last November in the International Institute of Boston's WHOLE EARTH CELEBRATION at Commonwealth Pier. Ralph Murphy designed a large and imposing exhibit. His committee of volunteers included Dr. Maria Gerson, Judy Williams, Carlo de Jesus, Ellen Lewis, Paulo de Sousa, and Magda Maclver. They distributed over 800 informational brochures and received attention on Radio Station WBZ. ELNA is still receiving inquiries from people who received those brochures. Chicago - Thirty-five telephone inquiries were received in three hours on Sunday morning, December 9, immediately following a ten-minute interview conducted by Richard Helton, popular newscaster on the CBS-owned AM radio sta- tion WBBM, Newsradio 78, with Dr. Richard E. Wood of S.E. Missouri State University. Dr. Wood was the keynote speaker at the Zamenhof Banquet held at noon the same day by the Chicago Esperanto Society. Helton chose to focus his questions entirely on Esperanto, and had clearly done his homework on the subject. Indeed, he had recently become conscious of language problems when reporting for WBBM on a court case involving inter- pretation problems between Serbian and English. As a sam- ple of spoken Esperanto, Wood gave the Chicagoland radio audience a rendering of Zamenhof's poem "Ho mia kor'." Among those calling society president Janet Bixby was a Polish-born Esperanto speaker living in Chicago who had been unaware of the society's existence. The society decided to explore the possibility of publicity in the Chicago ethnic language press, such as the Tygodnik Polski and the A bend post. Present at the banquet was the father of Dr. Gertrude Novak, hale and hearty at age 100 and reminiscing about his youth as a soldier of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Just as there is a simple, powerful Lincolnesque English, there is a simple, powerful Zamenhofesque Esperanto. The Academy of Esperanto has made the following deci- sion on word-building (the November, 1972 issue of the Na- tional Lampoon to the contrary notwithstanding - those in- terested in the subject "How to Talk Dirty in Esperanto" may consult National Lampoon, Fetish Supplement, page 34): (a) Principle of necessity - in constructing a word, one must introduce all roots, affixes and endings to evoke clearly and completely the idea to be represented by the finished word; (b) Principle of sufficiency - if the idea thus expressed is already clearly understood from the context without an ad- ded affix, this can be eliminated since it is useless and un- necessary. Just briefly a few examples from F. Faulhaber's clever tracts on style and syntax: (From Ne Tie!, Sed Tiel Ĉ/, F. Faulhaber -"Forĵetu la balaston", p. 41) NE TIEL: La mastro minacante rigardis lin SED TIELĈI: La mastro minace rigardis lin NE TIEL: "Atentu, knabo", li siblante diris. SED TIEL ĈI: "Atentu, knabo," li sible diris (aŭ: //' siblis) From Esperanta Mozaiko - F. Faulhaber, "Kun Ruĝa Krajono..." (about use of suffix -in) Ŝi estas dancanto - not necessary to say dancantino. La estro de la familio estas Sinjorino O. (not estrino) BUT - "Ŝi estas egoisma virino" - of course! ABOUT WORD-FOR-WORD TRANSLATION: Or, "Let's not be caught with our idioms down!) Just about every English-speaking person can understand: "Nur vorto al saĝulo estas sufiĉa." BUT we were surprised when Czech, Danish, and other foreign guests simply failed to understand it. We had overlooked the fact that the phrase is English idiom. To translate the IDEA into Esperanto it is important to decide what we mean, which is "a simple warn- ing to the wise suffices." In Esperanto: "Simpla averto al saĝulo sufiĉas." All Esperantists understand the latter. In response to requests for a regular Newsletter column dealing with problems of Esperanto beginners — word for- mation, syntax, grammar, translation, etc. — we are starting the Lingva Forumo. We prefer, however, to answer specific questions, and welcome these. We place a distinguished panel of experts at your disposal.
