Lehigh People And
The California Quake
Several Lehigh people were in
California last Tuesday when the
earthquake hit — among them were
Irwin Kugeiman, chairman of Lehigh's civil engineering department;
Donald Davis, professor of mathemat- .
ics; and Carl Arbogast, maintenance
technician at the Mountaintop Campus.
Kugeiman was attending the
annual Water Pollution Control
Federation Conference in downtown

Pilzer Extolls Journalism
During Classroom Visits
By Lesa Ayers
■Journalism is the absolutely best major you can take to be successful in
any field in the world today," declared Paul Zane Pilzer '74. Pilzer. now
35. is a Dallas-based millionaire who returned to Lehigh Oct. 17-18 to
offer his advice to six undergraduate classes in the College of Arts and
Science.
Pilzer's two-day visit marked the week that Simon and Schuster
released his first book. "Other People's Money: The Inside Story on the
S&L Mess." The publisher expects the book to be one of the hottest
new business titles of the year.
But Pilzer didn't come to Lehigh sell his book, or to relate tips on how
to make a killing in real estate. At the invitation of President Peter
Likins, he came to inspire and advise a new crop of students about the
most important lessons Lehigh taught him: how to write, and how to
think.
Pilzer is perhaps best known as one of a handful of American entrepreneurs who made their first $1 million before they were 30 — a
distinction he never mentioned in class.
People can't write and communicate anymore," Pilzerobserved before
an Environmental Writing class of journalism professor Sharon Friedman on Tuesday. "The universal criteria an organization use,s to pick its
company chairman, its head, is written and oral communication skills.
They make you stand out."
A chilly Upperclass Parent's Day
crowd of 11,223 enjoyed 33-13
Lehigh victory over Northeastern
Saturday. The crowd was the third
largest in Goodman Stadium
history. Here, fans wrap themselves in blankets to ward off the
stiff breeze that was whipping
through Goodman Stadium.
