Minnesota—native Norman Shaft comes to Winona State from the Foreign Affairs Division of the State Department for this academic year. He comes as part of the State Department Pearson Program. Although his duties haven't been completely decid- ed yet, he feels he will do many different things. "What I'm going to try to do is participate in a couple of classes, maybe teach a class and try to interest people in foreign affairs and the State Department," he said. He will also speak to community groups. In 1961, his first year with the foreign services, he was in Winona recruiting students for the foreign ser- vice and said he will be doing a lot of that again while he is here. "I would like people to consider (foreign services), but it's certainly not for everyone," he said. For Shaft, being in the foreign services involved many different duties. "I tried to improve and main- tain as friendly a relationship as possible between foreign countries and the United States and to pur- sue whatever-U.S. objectives are in that country. "You become very knowledgeable about the inter- nal situations in those countries," he said. "The ex- perience builds up your whole perspective and your whole general knowledge of foreign affairs and how other countries operate." His duties also included staffing foreign embassies abroad and working out of the department in Washington, D.C. with those foreign embassies.
