Michael Dukakis campaigned for votes in the Lehigh Valley. He was introduced by Dr. Peter Likins to a friendly crowd of political, labor and business leaders meeting in Bethlehem Steel's Grace Auditorium. "I don't need to tell Gov. Dukakis about our Ben Franklin Program," said Dr. Likins in his introduction. "He already knows that it works...He knows that a technologically oriented, entrepreneurial university can be an enormous stimulus to the economy. He has seen evidence in his home state, and he has recognized our leadership in Pennsylvania." Gov. Dukakis, a graduate of Swarthmore College, had vivid memories of the Lehigh campus. A cross-country runner, he competed on Lehigh's course several times and still remembers that "Lehigh's course went up and down hills. It had no level stretches at all. It was even more hilly than Lafayette's course." Dr. Likins met Gov. Dukakis a few years ago when he was introduced by Gov.

Lehigh To Host Four ECC Championships Lehigh University is gearing up to host four East Coast Conference championship events in the next two weeks. Women's lacrosse is first, Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May l, on the Murray Goodman Campus. Semi-finals, featuring the top four teams in the ECC regular season race, are held on the first day with the winners advancing to the title round one day later. Golf will be hosted at the Saucon Valley Country Club Sunday and Monday, May 1-2, with all conference members participating. Players will shoot 18 holes each day. Men's and women's track events are scheduled on the Goodman campus Saturday, May 7. Defending champions are Bucknell in men's track and golf, Lafayette in women's track and Delaware in women's lacrosse. Towson State hosted the track championships. Bucknell took men's honors, far ahead of runnerup Rider. Delaware was third and Lehigh fourth. In the women's division Lafayette won with 77 points and Bucknell was second with 67. Lehigh, in its initial season of varsity track this spring, will be in the tournament for the first time. Computerized Search Aids Students In Selecting Study Abroad Have you ever thought about spending your summer vacation living in the south of France with a native family while studying at a local university, but didn't know how to proceed? Or maybe sultry, sunny Spain is your dream, or the beautiful castle-filled countryside of Germany's Rhine Valley? Opportunities and options to study abroad have grown dramatically since the days when a "grand tour of Europe" was a rite of passage for the wealthy. But the growth in the number of programs available has also increased the confusion. Do you want a program taught in English or a foreign language? Do you prefer living in a dormitory, with a local family or on your own? Do you want to be in a large city or the countryside? Much of this confusion has now been eliminated through a new program developed by Lehigh University's modern foreign languages department and Center for International Studies. Two Lehigh seniors, under the direction of faculty member Dr. David W.P. Lewis, have developed a computer program which searches study abroad programs to find the ones which match a student's preferences. The new program is available to the entire campus community through the Network Server. It includes Lehigh courses abroad and exchange programs with colleges in the United Kingdom, programs offered through the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges, and courses in other countries offered by both American and foreign universities. "Interest in foreign study is increasing among students," said Dr. Lewis, professor of French and a director of the Center for International Studies. "But there are so many study abroad programs that it is often difficult for students to select a program which will meet their goals. "For example, if your objective is to learn a foreign language fluently, you want an immersion program in which you speak, think and live in the language," he continued. "On the other hand, you may want to study a "Interest in foreign study is increasing among students. But there are so many study abroad programs that it is often difficult to select (one) that will meet their needs." Dr. David W.P. Lewis subject in another country, such as art in Paris, yet do not have the foreign language comprehension to study in French. In that case, you want courses in Paris taught in English." In addition to the language of the course, other considerations when choosing a program abroad include housing options, whether the courses will be taught by American instructors or native teachers, whether you will be in classes with native students or isolated with other foreign students, and the cost. The study abroad program can be accessed from the Network Server by typing IN STUDY ABR at the LUNA main menu. Instructions for copying the file are included in the STUDY ABR file. Two blank formatted disks are needed to download the program. The search is then conducted from the disks. Each study aboard program is summarized into ten fields: the name of the program; location; whether it is for the summer, one semester, or the entire year; courses available in English and courses taught in a foreign language; the number of credits a student receives; housing options; tuition; and the address to write to for appli- Continued on Page 4>
