Students Get Straight Talk From lacocca
By Janine Haddad
LehighWeek Intern
It was a moment that would linger in the minds of some
fortunate Lehigh students. Across the table engaging their
class in discussion was Lee laccoca, expressing his hopes for
the future, experiences from the past, and his interest in the
new generation.
Last week lacocca. Chrysler Corp. chairman and chief
executive officer, informally addressed three enthusiastic
groups: students in a section of English 97 (An American
Dream), the Tau Beta Pi honorary engineering society and
the Martindale Student Associates. Each group was permitted to ask Lehigh's successful alumnus questions within
their alloted time of 45 minutes.
Sitting comfortably in his chair, holding back no secrets,
laccoca delved into his years at Lehigh. "I remember the top
guy in my class at Lehigh." he said, then paused. "I look at
where they went today and 1 muse. Why was I so different?
Who knows? Maybe God only knows."
Years later, laccoca no longer aspires to "conquer anymore mountains." But, if health permits, he wouldn't mind
working till he turns 80 years old. Now laccoca seeks satisfaction in passing his wisdom on to Lehigh students and in
promoting the return of America's economic zeal. The
laccoca Institute is certainly a step in the right direction.
For the English class, which is involved in a study of
Iaccoca's books, laccoca represented a symbol of their
"American Dream". They wanted to know where they fit in
that dream. And what gave him the edge to make it?
laccoca casually responded that to get ahead involves
"outworking" the other guy. and an education can allow for a
head start. "Make up your mind" on what you choose to
accomplish, he told the students, and persist in trying to make
that dream become reality. He admitted that hard work is
involved, as well as luck.
