Vol. 3, Issue 25 Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania April 4, 1990 Giscard d'Estaing Giscard to give Cohen Lecture Valery Giscard d'Estaing, former president of France, will give the fifth annual Cohen Lecture in International Relations at Lehigh on Wednesday, April 18 at 8:15 p.m. in Grace Hall. His talk, "The March Towards a Federative Union of European States," is open to the public free of charge. The lecture series is sponsored by Bernard L. Cohen, a 1936 Lehigh graduate, and his wife Berte Cohen, a Moravian College alumna. The Cohens are long-time Bethlehem residents who now reside in Boca Raton, Fla. They are the founders of Piercing Pagoda, a Bethlehem-based national jewelry chain. The couple also supports Cohen lecture series at Moravian and Northampton Community Colleges. Giscard served as president of the French Republic from 1974 until 1981, when he was succeeded by Francois Mitterrand. He is still very active in the European Economic Community and is currently a deputy in the European Parliament. JASON Project not just for kids! By Lesa Ayers The JASON Project at Lehigh, which will allow up to 20,000 youngsters to sit in on a series of satellite-linked "electronic classroom" sessions this spring, is not just for kids. The public can participate in 12 of the 60 sessions, scheduled for April 30-May 12. The broadcasts allow the audience to accompany underwater scientists as they explore the nooks and crannies of the "Hamilton," a lost War of 1812 battleship recently found deep under Lake Ontario. Communication equipment at Grace Hall, combined with the scientists' camera- equipped, remote-controlled robots at the shipwreck site, will provide a unique "you are there" experience. The two-week pilot project at Lehigh, directed by science education specialist Judith Bazler, is sponsored by the JASON Foundation for Education, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Lehigh and a Lehigh alumnus. It is designed to spark youngsters' interests in pursuing careers in science and engineering. Lehigh is the only university plugged into the "telepresence" network of the JASON Project. Public sessions are scheduled every day at 4 p.m. The See JASON page 4 Elizabeth Colley William Stanford, director of financial aid, hosts 'Scholastic Jeopardy' contest at Scholarship Dinner. A family reunion of scholars and donors By Kathy Richards Lehigh University Writers' Group The table talk was about the "good old days." Supper was dished out family style and after the cherry pie, everyone participated in a rousing game of "Scholastic Jeopardy." Lehigh's Scholarship Dinner last week was, after all, a kind of family reunion, although many of the guests had just met for the first time. The occasion was the annual get-together of more than 75 of the Lehigh alumni and friends who support scholarships that aid 200 students. It was a chance for the donors to talk with the students their contributions are assisting. And it was a rude awakening for most of the audience as they discovered some of the things they should have known about Lehigh, but didn't. William Stanford, director of financial aid, moderated the quiz game in which "X" and "O" teams of Lehigh students matched wits in their knowledge of university lore. A team was given 10 seconds to answer each question before timer Mary Ann Mittnacht, who does development's computer and data management, sounded the horn. Rila Hackett of development was the "Vanna White" of the evening, posting the score at each correct answer. There was one question which stopped them cold: "Recite the first line of the Lehigh Alma Mater," Stanford said. There was no answer from team "O." There was no answer from team "X." "O.K., audience," Stanford said with a sly smile, since he knew there were many alumni, staff and faculty at the dinner. "Let's show these kids. Let's sing the Alma Mater for them." The room was embarrassingly silent. Finally, an elderly alumnus stood and recited the line: "Where the Lehigh's rocky rapids rush from out the West..." On most of the questions, student panelists knew their Lehigh stuff. They knew where one can rent a See Scholar page 4
