    NNºº99 juinjuin 20132013 L’USJ squatte le podium d’« Eurokonstantia » en Allemagne LE CHOC DES GÉNÉRATIONS Nouveau Centre sportif de l’USJ Université Saint-Joseph L’Université Saint-Joseph célèbre cette année trois institutions centenaires : la Faculté de médecine (135 ans), la Faculté de droit (100 ans) et la Faculté d’ingénierie (100 ans). Des chiffres qui nous font rêver mais qui, aussi, nous interpellent et nous rappellent que nous appartenons à une prestigieuse institution dont nous avons à perpétuer l’héritage et les valeurs. Notre Alma Mater prône l’excellence, le dialogue, la formation intégrale de la personne et toutes ces valeurs se retrouvent au centre de l’activité quotidienne du Service du sport et des sélections sportives. Nos jeunes sportifs se dépassent et brillent sur les scènes locales et internationales, non seulement par leurs résultats mais aussi par leur comportement solidaire et exemplaire sur les terrains et en-dehors. Ils sont ainsi les meilleurs ambassadeurs de l’Université Saint-Joseph et du Liban. L’activité sportive n’est pas en reste à l’interne. De nombreuses compétitions et activités inter-USJ sont ainsi organisées et opposent tout le long de l’année, dans un climat de saine rivalité, les équipes des différents campus et du personnel. Le Centre sportif de l’Université Saint-Joseph soufflera bientôt sa première bougie ; outre les étudiants qui s’y rendent, de nombreux anciens de l’Université s’y sont inscrits : nous espérons que ce croisement des différentes générations de l’Université soit un catalyseur du renforcement tant souhaité des relations entre l’Université et ses anciens.

We, former concentration camp prisoners and eyewitnesses of the Shoah, have devoted all our lives to the mission of keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. Today, as our mission is coming to an end, we understand better than anyone else that our whole work and toil might be in vain if we do not succeed in bequeathing the material evidence of this terrible crime to future generations. The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp remains the most important of these testimonies: once a place of suffering and death for hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles, Roma, Sinti and people from all over Europe, today it is a memorial site visited by millions of people from around the world.

    United States: National Affairs, Anti-Semitism

    United States National Affairs TheBush administration began the year buoyed by the results of the November 2004 elections: the president's decisive reelection and a strong Republican showing in the congressional races in which the party, already in control of both houses, gained four seats in the Senate and three in the House. The president promised to spend the "political capi- tal" he had earned on an agenda that included Social Security reform, tax cuts, and the continuation of an aggressive global war on terror. The organized Jewish community, meanwhile, geared up for another four years of an administration strongly allied with most Jews on Israel's defense needs, defiantly committed to an increasingly complicated and controversial war in Iraq, and diverging sharply from the majority of American Jews on many domestic issues. THE POLITICAL ARENA olected President Ldent Bush won immediate praise from Jewish leaders for his intment of Judge Michael Chertoff, the son of a rabbi, as secretary meland security. Chertoff had been a widely respected prosecutor hen chief of the Justice Department's criminal division before be- a judge on the Third Circuit of the U.S. Court ofAppeals. He jominated for his new post on January 11 and confirmed by the e on February 15. Another appointment of a prominent Jew was )f Elliott Abrams, who had held a variety of government positions, deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security )ther presidential appointments were generally applauded by the ommunity.
