L’O rient-Express en solo ans la vie d’un journal, un deuxième anniversaire ne se fête pas. Mieux vaut attendre des chiffres plus D ronds. Pour L’O rient-Express, il se trouve cependant que ce deuxième anniversaire est quand même particulier, puisqu’il marque le début d’une nouvelle aventure. À partir de ce numéro, L’O rient-Express sera vendu séparé- ment. Cette étape, inscrite dans l’ordre naturel des choses, devait intervenir un jour ou l’autre. Elle survient même un peu tard puisque, depuis deux ans, nos lecteurs ont acquis des habi- tudes d’achat, et tous les spécialistes du marketing savent que c’est ce qu’il y a de plus difficile à changer. Il nous faut pour- tant la tenter. Comment connaîtrions-nous autrement notre public? Certes, le marché de la presse au Liban, et surtout de la presse francophone, reste trop étriqué pour qu’un journal puisse vivre de ses seuls lecteurs. Mais il n’est pas moins vrai que sans lecteurs, sans acheteurs, il n’y a pas de journal. Des lecteurs, nous en avons, nous le savons au nombre d’en- couragements que nous recevons tous les jours, et des milieux les plus divers. Il s’agit maintenant que ces lecteurs deviennent acheteurs. Mais disons le tout net: cela dépend avant tout d’eux. Pour notre part, nous pouvons leur assurer que L’O rient-Express restera tel qu’ils l’ont connu. Tel qu’ils ont appris à l’aimer.

  • HOOSIER GEOLOGIC CORD Alumni Newsletter of the Deparlment of Geology
    Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences-Graduate School HOOSIER GEOLOGIC CORD Alumni Newsletter of the Deparlment of Geology December 1987 A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear I.U. Geology Alumni, This is my first letter to you as Chairman of the Geology Department. Gary Lane finished his term as Chairman last July 1. We are all very grateful to Gary for his leadership of the Department through three very eventful years. Four new members joined our faculty during his tenure and four have retired. The Department celebrated its 100th birthday in 1986 during Gary's chairmanship. The Owen Awards were established. Great progress was made at painting halls and office walls which had gone unpainted for almost 25 years. Computer, drafting, and photography facilities for students were greatly expanded. The faculty formally adopted a series of policies for governing the Department and several laboratories were extensively remodeled. I am sure many other items could be added to the list, but this is enough to show how the Department has prospered during Gary's term of leadership. "Thank you, Gary, for three great years. You are a tough act to follow! Bob Shaver officially announced his retirement from both the Geological Survey and the Geology Department at the end of this year. Bob has been a faculty member in the Department since 1956. He has made major contributions to the Department as a teacher and researcher, and has been one of its most dependable and effective servants. We will miss him greatly - even his multi-page, sometimes obscure memos! Bob plans to remain active in research in the Department and Survey.
