Four student government leaders
from Martin Luther University in Halle,
Germany, visited USC last week, marking
the beginning of a formal relationship
between the two universities that
will lead to regular student exchanges
soon.
It was the first visit to the United
States for Dorita Loehne, Ulrich Decker,
Lars Jung and Klaus Dieter Schicke.
"Ks pretty and has still a nice smalltown
atmosphere," Schicke said of his
first impression of Columbia.

said.
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.
"During our talk with USC President
Dr. John Palms, we discussed student
exchange for senior students after
their fourth semester," Schicke said.

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

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."
