ta. people are more optimis
tic."
I^ast and West Germans must
adapt to different systems, such
as the educational systems and
legal systems. Some Germans
believe this could cause inure
problems.
“I think a lot of Hast German
students will go to West (air
man universities, and the uni
versities are already crowded
there," Schnevink said "
"If they build more universi
ties anil gel more professors, it
won’t tie a problem and it
won’t be that liad." said Hans
kiener. also an exchange grad
uate student from Tuebingen
Schneyink and Kiener won
der what will happen to East
German universities and pro
fessors if East German students
all leave.
"East Germany produced a
lot of good science, and then*
are some important points of
views and past research that is
good," Schneyink said. "The
West should discuss very slow
ly what is worthy and keep it."
Schneyink and kiener said
they do not want any good re
search dropped just because it
is from the East.
East Germans also will have
to adjust to the stricter West
German abortion laws.
Kischer explained that abor
lion was legal in the Hast, and
women there now give up that
right after reunification.
Also, in the hast, free day
care was provided for working
women. Integration with the
West means they have to give
up this resource and must pay
for it themselves.
"Hast Germany is gaining a
lot." Fischer said, "but also
giving up a lot."
"Integration is fine," said
GTK Barbara kralzer from Mu
nich. "but I wouldn't have cel
ebrated if I was there now.
There are so many problems we
have to solve.
"It's really arrogant German
behavior. They have a conde
scending attitude." said hrat
zer. who is working for her
f*h.1) in German She said ev
eryone was supportive at first
of the idea that Kast Germans
should be allowed to come to
the West, but "once the Kast
Germans came over, West Ger
mans didn't want to make any
sacrifices."
“I used to 1m- optimistic
throughout last year until 1
i,ilki-d to people affected per
sonally." said GTK Joachim
Noob from Heidelberg,
He said West Germans now
wail in shopping lines while
Kast Germans splurge on what
they've been deprived of for so
long In some employment
fields, jobs are getting tougher
to gel due to increased compe
tit ion
"Th** negative thing about it
is everything happened so
quickly and it's difficult to ad
just to a different system." said
Noob, who is also studying for
his Ph.D in German.
Heidi; Witthoeft, a GTF origi
nally from Hamburg, agrees
with kratzer that the West Ger
mans are arrogant when facing
the change. "I think West Ger
mans feel superior because
their system worked for so
long "
"The West is not too pa
tient." Noob added. "It’s cost
ing taxpayers too much for the
change. They didn't think it
would change for them."
"Even though I'm pessimis
tic." Schneyink said, "I like
the dynamics in Eastern Eu
rope. I like that there is move
ment and change."
Students and GTFs are not
homesick or wish they could be
in Germany during this major
transition.
"I'm happy I'm not in Ger
many right now." said Kratzer.
“I'd rather wait until every
thing calms down.”
"For me (East Germany) is
another country." Fischer said.
"I'll have to get used to this
"other country" being a part of
the West I think this will be a
problem until my generation is
gone. I'll continue to consider
Germany as East and West for a
long time."

should have a genuine opportu
nily to excel with no artificia
barriers placed in the way,'
brand said. "We must do nton
than comply with existing stat
utes.
"We must pro-actively am
aggressively sttek to create a di
verse and harmonious commu
nily. Our goal is excellonci
without elitism,"
brand said he believes tin
University has already madi
progress toward this goal
One aspec t of i reeling a non
elitist community involve:
making sure the University re
mains affordable for students I
(hn University becomes too ex
pensive. it risks restricting ad
mission lo select economic
classes. Brand said.
"We cannot and should not
build the University on (be
backs of our students. No one
should tie deprived of a univer
sity education for economic
reasons "
The fourth and fifth areas of
Brand's vision for the Universi
ty center around the role it will
play Inith internationally and at
home
"Internationalization means
engaging our students in trans
national perspectives, exposing
them to languages and cultures
different from their own
"With our long tradition of
international research and
teaching and with all we have
in international fields, we are
well-positioned to build
strength and to capture a lead
ing role among American uni
versities," Brand said
On the University’s contribu
tions to the stati> Brand said.
"A public university is a three
legged stool in which teaching,
research and related profession
al service maintain a balance.
"Our service contribution
should stress issues of the qual
ity of life and economic devel
opment."
The most valuable contribu
tion the University can make to
the state, however, is to pro
vide a high quality education to
its daughters and sons. Brand
said.
