Woodrow Wilson
Fellow Here From
West Germany
Ingrid Matthaus-Maier, a member
of the West German Bundestag, will
discuss changing West German attitudes toward America on Tuesday,
October 13 at Lehigh University.
Her talk, "Changing Attitudes of
Young Germans Toward America:
Kennedy to Reagan," will start at 8
p.m. in the Kravis Auditorium of Ingrid Matthaus-Maier
Neville Hall. It is open to the public free of charge.
Matthaus-Maier will be the Woodrow Wilson Visiting
Fellow at Lehigh the week of October 12. While on
campus she will be the guest speaker in several classes
and meet informally with students and faculty.
First elected to the Bundestag in 1976, Matthaus-Maier
has served on several committees, including chairwoman
of the committee on finance. Originally a member of the
Free Democratic Party, she broke with it in 1982, and
renounced her seat in Parliament. She joined the Social
Democratic Party and was re-elected to Parliament in
1983.
Currently she is a member of thr committee of finance,
vice-chairwoman of the SPD "international economy and
currency" working group and member of the executive
committee of the SPD parliamentary group.
A native of Werlte, West Germany, Matthaus-Maier
studied law at the Universities of Giessen and Munster and
serves as a judge in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Her visit is made possible by a grant from The German
Marshall Fund of the U.S. to the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, as part of a major effort to
increase understanding between prominent Europeans and
young Americans. The Fund believes that the emerging
generation of leaders on both sides of the Atlantic has
been handicapped by limited knowledge of the relationship between the two countries and inadequate.firsthand
experience. The German Marshall Fund was established in
1972 by a gift from the Federal Republic of Germany to
commemorate American postwar assistance under the
Marshall Plan.
The Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows Program is a
national effort to help relate a liberal arts education to the
professional world. Fellows are successful men and
women from business, journalism, government and other
professions who spend a week on college campuses
meeting with students and faculty to illustrate the relationship between a liberal arts education and life after graduation, and between theory and practice. The program is
sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Foundation in Princeton. N.J.
