Five, ten, twenty years from now will you remember the hours spent here in animated discussions on the lottery? on the moratorium? on somehow coming up with S7i.5O? in-if Countless coffees s gg over the DAILY AZTEC, laughing at Letters To The Editor and all the while wondering it student government and participation really matter. Will you remember the attitude of a campus echoing with the sound of voices, some attempting communication, some shrinking from it? - .Y ,'-:Q1wi 11

,Q . 999-Ol-2794 Lilian Steinhardt, 24 Unclassified, Journalism Montevideo, Uruguay Lilian Steinhardt is going to San Diego State for reasons other than getting an Inter-American Press scholarship from James Copley. Besides being the only foreign student in California who received an aid scholarship from the Latin Americas, Miss Steinhardt is here be- cause there is no Iournalism college in Uruguay, her home country. She has the distinction of graduating from high school twice- once from a Detroit high school in 1963-64 as an exchange student and from high school in Montevideo, capital of Uruguay. Born of German parents who moved to Uruguay during World War ll, Miss Steinhardt has been a reporter for one of the four maior newspapers in Montevideo, has done volunteer work for the Red Cross, was a radio announcer in Montevideo, a secretary-assistant for the American Embassy, and also a tourist guide for foreign visitors. As a reporter, Lilian has interviewed presidents and prime min- isters, actors and musicians, fashion directors and models. Everyone comes through Montevideo-it's the stopping-off place between the main centers of Latin America, she said. There are about 35 radio stations in my city, Lilian explained. l was an announcer for a year, but was so shy I had to tape my work. Lilian said that in Uruguay it was hard to move up successfully unless you can go to other countries for study. She wants to do magazine writing and editing, but is not going back to Uruguay- at least not for a while. She plans on spending the summer here with friends. I have no trouble talking and getting used to people. l've been furnished with good friends, especially families. Friends have made me feel at home here. Lilian thinks Amrican students have less inhibitions than the stu- dents in her country. They are more modern here, she said. At home, we are more conservative. Everything faces Europe-we go by European standards. She said the main thing that surprises her is that students here don't think much about other countries. Here, everything is within, she added. She said she is learning more by talking to students and teachers and going on field trips. Classes are fun, but l learn more from talking to people. lt is good for my English and broadens my education. Lilian dates quite a bit. She said she enioys dating older students. They are very interesting to talk with. She likes the professors. They are really good in all my courses. Dr. Odendahl and his wife-I iust love them both, they've been so good to me. San Diego State is pretty calm, she went on to say. lt's located in a beautiful spot, too. At the University of Uruguay, there is more specialization. Lots of State's lower division courses are taught in high school in Uruguay, she explained. l like San Diego State better than other American colleges, but students here-l don't think they take their years of study seriously. ...f

Or will you remember the lazy afternoons spent talking in the Skylight Lounge, West Commons, or Listening Booth B? And the times it was an effort to talk at all? Will you remember the vitality of investigating new ideas, the arguments, the gripes? 1. Real words heard from real people fragments of those endless conversations .
