The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears open to their cry. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord delivers him.

Dan McGrath, News Editor

New Prof. in New Chair Max Lerner, syndicated columnist and professor of human behavior at the United States International University in San Diego has been named a visiting professor and will be the first occupant of the W. Harold and Martha Welch Chair in American Studies. One of Lerner's new courses is entitled "America as a Civilization: An Update" and celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of Lerner's best-known book, America as a Civilization. The course examines the American experience from the differing perspectives of 1957 and 1982. Born in Minsk, Russia, in 1902, Lerner emigrated to America with his family in 1907. He holds law and social science degrees from Yale University, Washington University, and the Robert Brooking Graduate School of Economics and Government. He has taught at Harvard University, Sarah Lawrence College, Williams College, and Brandeis University.

New and Improved This year's freshman class of about 1790 students was chosen from approximately 7700 applicants. With 75% ranking in the top 10% of their high school class with average SAT scores of about 1200, the freshman class is on par with the previous four classes, according to the Admissions Office. "This Year's class has exceeded our goal of 1775 and may well pe the largest class yet," said Kevin .M. Rooney, Assistant Director of Admissions. "However, we lost a lot of people we wanted to enroll because of the financial situation. The University is very pleased with the academic statistics and personal qualities of this year's class. We have a lot of talented individuals." Of the 1790, 525 are women, and, according to the Admissions Office, the female applicant pool was "particularly competitive."

Named associate professors with tenure are Stephen M. BatHI, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering; Dolores W. Frese, English; James F. Gaertner, Accountancy; Ethan T. Haimo, Music; John A. Halloran, Finance and Business Economics; David J. Ladouceur, Modern and Classical Languages; Marvin J. Miller, Chemistry; Randal C. Ruchti, Physics; and Byron E. Stanhouse, Finance and Business Economics. Associate professors advanced to tenure are William G. Dwyer, Mathematics; Kevin Misiewicz, Accountancy; and Nancy K. Stanton, Mathematics.

Histoli:c Post Donated One of thirteen historic trading posts from the New York Stock Exchange was donated to the University this summer. Built in the early 1900's, the octagonal trading posts on the floor of the exchange were used over the years by specialists in the trading of individual stocks. However, the posts had become outdated and exchange officials decided to replace the old posts with up-to-date electronic equipment. Although there were many offers to purchase the old posts, exchange officials voted to donate them to various museums and universities where they would be used for educational purposes. Notre Dame's post is on display in the second floor lobby of the Memorial Library, and its dedication will be on September 24. "",,-,.

A view of the Brandenburg Gate

I spent this past summer in West Berlin, Germany, the "western island" in an eastern country. It was an excellent experience; a time for learning, growing, and drinking German beer. For two months I lived and worked in Berlin. To be quite frank, it was not a typical summer. The opportunity originated at Notre Dame with the AIESEC Organization. AIESEC is the French acronym for l'Association Internationale des Etudiants en Science Economiques et Commerciale. ';!'his international organization operates a reciprocal exchange program which offers top students the chance to gain firsthand practical business experience by living and working in foreign countries. AIESEC is totally studentoperated, nonprofit, and nonpolitical. Its goals are to promote international awareness and cooperation. At Notre Dame the students in AIESEC work, organize, develop, and socialize with pride. (There is always plenty of room for new members.) Upon my arrival in Berlin, the AIESEC-Berlin committee met me at the train station, took me to my new 4

apartment (which they had arranged), and gave me the necessary forms to fill out. Although my German was rusty, having studied three years, one spent in Innsbruck, Austria, with the Notre Dame Foreign Studies Program, it didn't take long until I could properly converse with my five German housemates. We were all compatible even if they were strongly opinionated on American foreign politics, as most European students are. I soon met the other 30 to 40 trainees also working in Berlin. The trainees came from all over the world: Turkey, Sweden, France, Israel, Czechoslovakia, and Thailand, to name a few. They proved to be my best friends during my stay in Berlin. Most of us could speak German but if not, English would certainly get us by. Communication was just part of the challenge and fun, making the experience worthwhile and unforgettable. For example, imagine trying to explain the rules of ultimate Frisbee to someone who doesn't speak your language and has never seen a Frisbee before. We managed with feet, hands, and mouth.

Our "international group" got along amazingly well and shared one common denominator: a Swedish "toast song" which most members of AIESEC know. Often, although not always, we put our political differences aside and went out to discover Berlin. During these unforgettable· times, we wandered through the theatres, museums, and exhibitions that proliferate in the city and enjoyed the numerous bars which range from outdoor cafes to beer gardens. A characteristic attributed only to West Berlin is the wall which surrounds the city, setting ifl>apart as a "western island" in an eastern country. The wall is a popular tourist attraction for westerners; however, the implications are far more important to both East and West Germans. The Berlin Wall was constructed on August 13, 1961, by the East Germans in order to minimize the "threat of western invasion." The cement wall stands approximately 4.2 meters high and is reinforced with watchtowers, mine fields, self-shooting machine guns, barbed-wire fences, guard dogs, and armed soldiers. SCHOLASTIC

Gawking from the observation stand, it all appears frighteningly forbidding. As recently as March 29 and June 4 of this year, two people were shot as they attempted to escape to the West. A museum, "House of Check-Point Charlie," memorializes these and the many others who have made such an attempt. On the other side of the Wall is East Berlin, capital of the German Democratic Republic, and a popular tourist town though travel is somewhat limited. Unlike the rest of East Germany, one can easily purchase a day-visa to East Berlin. In East Germany the basic needs are extremely inexpensive while luxuries are extravagantly high and difficult to obtain. For example, one must order a car, not a Firebird or Camaro but a basic subcompact car, ten years in advance. Moreover, a sharp contrast between old and new is clearly illustrated. Next to a 13thcentury Gothic church looms a monstrous 20th-century television and radio tower. As I walked around in East Berlin, I stepped into a bar/restaurant outside the mainstream of the tourist

from East Germany. Our conversation started out very awkwardly and mistrusting but as our inhibitions wore down and I revealed my identity as a German-speaking American, the beer and conversation flowed freely. The man was very open, sharing several interesting insights to the ideals and values of one East German, and even paying our large bill at the end of the night. I also learned the intricacies of eel fishing, which he was exceedingly proud to explain. But life is not all fun and games. Through AIESEC, I worked with the large Berliner Bank in their trainee program, exploring several departments that emphasize international banking. I learned and developed my skills, met many interesting people, and saw many different facets of the banking industry. Also, the job paid my rent and other basic expenses. Here I sit, trying to sort, analyze, and diffuse all that I have gone through and accomplished. With so many different values, ideas, and cultures, there is no wonder that we have such misunderstandings and misconceptions. Yet I do realize that

people can be so different, yet so alike. With the development of modern technology, our earth is becoming smaller and smaller. Are we willing to take the time to communicate and understand one another? Perhaps my greatest lesson is that we have an essential need for awareness and cooperation between people if we are to survive. D

Poor September. Every year I oscillate between love and hate for these thirty days. Such sentiments date to the first days when I painfully squeezed brown, bare feet into new school shoes. I, like Huck Finn, could never appreciate the exchange of our elaborate summer forts and wild blackberries - huckleberries now being extinct - for chalkboards and spelling books. Perhaps this explains, in part, why I am such a horrid speller. Still, each September always· brought with it a surge of excitement: new friends, new teachers, new endeavors, new escapades. After all, managing a lemonade stand for an afternoon did become rather dull. Following lazy, summer days, I've always enjoyed the anxious anticipation of the new school year. As a senior, September 1982 marks the end of· an era, and probably the widest 'swing of my love/hate pendulum to date. Never again will I be a schoolgirl in September. Sigh. But' now is not time for nostalgia. While I will miss the peace of this campus in the summer, I readily admit that the high energy of the returning masses electrifies this place. After being scattered all across the globe (Berlin, Lebanon, California, Oregon, and, for us lucky ones, South Bend, Indiana), we return to Notre Dame and Saint Mary's refreshed and ready to wrap on our common cloak of "student." Yet, as evidenced by the

tional hour alone in this office, I rejoice at the enthusiastic return of the Editorial Board. As with any new reign, we have made some exciting changes. We will publish Scholastic twelve times this year instead of eight. it is our attempt to keep up reader awareness and interest. Also, I want to extend a grateful welcome to the 250 Notre Dame parents who supported our first subscription drive. We are using a new layout procedure designed to give the staff more creative freedom with magazine pages. Most importarifiy, the Scholastic editors have devised an innovative and thought-provoking list of articles and issues for publication. We welcome and encourage all interested students to join our staff. It will be a good year. I am sincerely grateful for the energy, talent, and support of the editors and staff for helping me pull off this first issue. And who says miracles don't exist? Well looking back on the past few paragraphs, I guess September isn't that bad after all. Besides, in a few months summer forts lie buried in snow anyway. D

articles in this issue, our individual personalities, . special experiences, and backgrounds enable us to add depth and dimension to our lives and this community. So I gladly trade my waitress pad for the Complete Works of Shakespeare, and kite flying for soaring thought. The time has come to "get on with it." Scholastic 1982-'83 has arrived in all its splendor, glory, and occasional blunder. (Sound the trumpet, clang the cymbal, crank up the stereo!)
