When I was hired, I was asked by my colleagues if I could speak Latin, and I didn't know that anyone did. So I decided to do an exploration of that, and it brought me to Rome and to California. And in the process, I discovered that there were pedagogical reasons for incorporating spoken Latin into the cur- riculum. How did you make your way to the Univer- sity? I was a graduate student here because it's one of the great programs in the country. I was an under- graduate for nine years, but my last four years were at the University of Wash- ington. I'm from Seattle. I started at Boston Universi- ty as a music major. Iended up with a double degree in classics and comparative literature. Is Latin a dead lan- guage? Do you feel that there will be a revival of Latin? No.I don't see it as a lan- guage that one is going to learn as a first language. I know people who have taught their children Latin pretty much from birth, so I've been around kids who are quite young, who speak quite well. But it's still not the only language they learn, and it's not their primary language. I can't really imagine an envi- ronment where it could become the primary lan- guage. On the other hand, Latin has never stopped beingspoken. What is your favorite class to teach? Whichever one I'm teaching at the moment. What are the goals of your courses? I want what students learn in my class to go with them outside of the class and beyond. I want them to have a differ- ent relationship with the classical world, whether it's the Latin language or the Greek language or the civilization. I want them to think about language differently. I want them to understand English better. I want the kind of work we do in class and the kind of thinking that they learn to do to go with them throughout life. -KINNARD HOCKENHULL Newsroom 734-418-411s opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@,nichigandaily.coe, Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com OnlineSales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@m ichigandaily.com Editorial Page opiniosC~aiehigandaily.coo Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 4 SALAAM IDA/Daily Gina Soter is a lecturer IV in classical studies and in the Residential College.

As yestserday's hearing dragged on, Loughner swiv- eled back and forth in his chair at times, and sighed as the talk turned to video surveillance of the shooting and later his delu- sions. But for the most part, he sat still and expressionless. He looked thin and pale and was wearing a white T-shirt and khaki-colored prison pants. He had closely cropped hair and sideburns, and his wrists and ankles were shackled. According to transcripts of Loughner's May 25 appearance, he interrupted the hearing by blurting out: "Thank you for the free kill. She died in front of me. Your cheesiness." Federal marshals whisked him from the courtroom, and he watched the rest of the hear- ing on closed-circuit TV from a separate room. WWW.WADLDETROIT.COM A 4 & 4
