In October a 1992, he was working for a top Philadel- o phia law firm, billing clients $150 an 1< hour to handle complex litigation and T antitrust lawsuits.

It was the first visit to the United States for Dorita Loehne, Ulrich Decker, Lars Jung and Klaus Dieter Schicke.

While meeting with several USC executives as well as members of Student Government and the German Language Department, the four delegates explored the possibility of future exchanges of students and scholars between the two universities.

USC is the second foreign university to form a formal exchange program with the University of Halle. Like Columbia, the city of Halle also has about 300,000 people, and with around 13,000 students, Martin Luther University it is the fourth biggest university in the eastern federal states of Germany. Their home university celebrates its 300th anniversary this year and is named after the religious reformer Martin Luther, one of the first professors to teach at the University of Halle. Located in the state of Saxoniaa ? i? ia. l .r il. r - r* ? Annan, pari ui me xuxxxxex dqsx vjcxmany, Halle is a city with a long tradition in humanities and the natural sciences. While all four student government leaders were born and grew up in the Communist society of the GDR, not one of them is looking back to the Communist times in nostalgia. "Today we have freedom, but there is less societal security," Schicke said. Those who want to live in the old times again are aware of the social problems Germany has to face, with xenophobic assaults and spreading political passivity of the people." .E UP!| I DiiMiiusMiiaiaiies wi ANY LARGE ,c=j PARTHENON PIZZA = M.50 off any MEDIUM pizza Jm $1.00 off any SMALL pizza Expires October 31 l!
