Elie Wiesel discussed the holocaust and the nuclear age ith words of wisdom, compassion, and alarming prophecy. 1986 Nobel Peace laureate Elie Wiesel captivated a sold out crowd in Preston Auditorium. His lecture paralleled the Nazi Holocaust with a possible nuclear disaster of much larger proportions. Should a nuclear catastrophe occur. Wiesel said. It will involve humankind; all people. all nations, all cultures, all human beings. Wiesel, a survivor of Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps, stressed the importance of learning and understanding the tragic plight of the Jews who fell victim to Adolph Hitler's reign of terror dur- ing World War II. Such knowledge. he said could save us from a future — and larger — holocaust. I was really glad he came here,” said Kim Smith. Art Education major. Afterwards I really thought about what he said and I think we have to remember the holocaust so that it won't happen again. If we remember what the world has done to one people — my people — we can save the world. said Wiesel. “If we forget, then the forgetting it self would be a tragedy equal to the tragedy of the Holocaust. Although speaking from a standpoint of a Jew. Wiesel's lecture touched on people of all religions He likened the ... constant state of uncertainty. under which jews lived for 2.000 years to the un-certanity all people feel in a nuclear age. In this respect Wiesel, said ... the whole world has become jewish. and lives on the threshold of the unknown. It takes a vistor like Mr Wiesel to make us remember the past and to realize the danger of nuclear weapons, said Kristen Karczewski, an RU alumnus. In Mein Kampf, Hilter outlined his intentions for the Jewish population. For some reason, said Wiesel. “we didn: believe him. Perhaps this generation, he hinted, was equally naive. Maybe our death is already programmed in the Kremlin, or the Pente gon, but we don't know it. At certain points in his story I felt that I would cry. I cannot believe that the Jews really had to experience the holocaust. said Anna Hogstoc. Marketing major. The fate of mankind has ye: to be determined. But, Wiese: said, we must act soon or ou fate will be sealed The salvation of mankind, he sad rests in one word that Elie Wiesel personifies — peace by Mike Slues Solemnoss Elie Wesel.

Tom Fitzsimmons, star of Broadways The Elephant Man and known for his role in the T.V. series The Paper Chase was the guest artist for the RU theater department's final production. Summer and Smoke . When invited to be the visiting artist. Fitzsimmons was hesitant. It worked out wonderfully. These students are very talented. Fitzsimmons said in an interview for several campus publications. When talking to theater students. Fitzsimmons stressed how hard the acting business is. “I know it's discouraging, but I think it’s only fair that they know it. Fitzsimmons said he reminds himself of what one of his drama teachers told him. Just remember, you've got it, so don't give up For Fitzsimmons. “That's the kind cl advice I want to leave with these students. by Kimberly Vemall Talking with students Tom Fitzsimmons takes time to share experiences photo by Jack Jeffers CAMPUS N 10 Campus Life
