^J From^ President

Gettysburg is already starting to feel like home even though my husband Oscar and I have been here just a few short weeks. I knew when I met last fall with the search committee that Gettysburg College was a place that I wanted to get to know better. Now that I am on campus and meeting faculty, staff, and students who are here this summer, I know that my instinct was right. I am enjoying my early interactions with members of this wonderful College community.

I was honored when the Board of Trustees appointed me as the thirteenth president of Gettysburg College last December. It was an important occasion for the institution as well as for me personally. I have described my early impressions of getting to know Gettysburg and its people as a courtship dance where you begin to fall in love with the place, as I have.

In my first year, I plan to get to know the campus better, the faculty, staff, and our youngest alumni base — our students, whom I refer to as alumni-in- residence. An important goal is also to meet as many of you — alumni, parents, and friends of the College — as I can.

As most of you know, Gettysburg College is a special place. One of the things that attracted me to it was the people. Since my appointment, I have been warmly welcomed by many of you. Thank you. Gettysburg College's reputation among its peers is strong, and I am keenly aware of the good job that Gordon Haaland did during his tenure here. I am honored to be his successor.

One of the things that Oscar and I have enjoyed most this summer is learning a bit more about the rich history of the College and the community. As a newcomer, I bring a deep appreciation — and a fresh eye — to the strides this institution has made over the years, and I will do my best to continue to build the College's reputation, and to share with others what this special place means. I will never take for granted what this place has stood for nor miss any opportunity we have to share the meaning of Gettysburg's unique ethos, location, history, and heritage in vivid ways with students, alumni, and friends of the College. To that end, I look forward to the First-Year Walk at the end of the summer with members of the Class of 2008.

I am delighted finally to be here as the new president, and I look forward with pleasure to meeting you all.

G e t ty s b u r g 11 12 Gettysburg iComunicar! The Hispanic World at Gettysburg by Jerold Wikoff and Jim Hale

he Hispanic world is a large and varied one, encom­ passing thirty-five countries and more than 500 T— million people. And, despite different cultures, different musics, different histories, all are connected through a common language, Spanish. O The variety of this larger Hispanic world is evident throughout the United States, especially in such cities as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and San Antonio, where Latino restaurants, Hispanic neighborhoods, and the sound of Spanish are a part of daily life. O Even in Gettysburg — both at the College and in the community — that same diversity is also apparent, though of course on a much smaller scale. O In the Spanish department alone, nine members of the faculty are from Spain, Mexico, and Argentina. In Latin American Studies, one professor is from the Dominican Republic. Students come from a variety of Latin American countries, while others come from families of Spanish or Latino backgrounds. O And in the Gettysburg community there is a sizeable Hispanic population, two Mexican restaurants and a Mexican store, and a monthly Spanish edition of the local newspaper. ©

"Many of these are enrolled in the lower-level courses to meet the language requirement," said Miguel Viiiuela, chair of the department and a native of Spain. "But one of the primary goals of our curriculum is for students to develop a lasting interest and liking for the Spanish language and Hispanic culture." Language instruction is far more than a daily classroom experience. All courses are taught in Spanish, even the introduc­ tory classes. In addition to the usual grammar textbook, videos and movies provide interaction with the spoken language. And for those at the intermediate level, there is the opportunity to study a semester in either Spain or Mexico. "These overseas programs are one of our greatest assets," Viiiuela said. "Students come back interested in learning language and are bilingual at an elementary level.

Latin American Studies A broader objective of the Spanish programs at Gettysburg College is to impart to students the role that Hispanic culture has played in the development of Western civilization. "Spain and Latin America have been very influential in shaping our society today," Viiiuela said. Through literature and culture courses that range from broad surveys to a close examination of Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece, Don Quijote de la Mancha, to current events in the Hispanic world, "our goal is to expand students' knowledge of how our contemporary society has evolved," he added. For students wanting to delve deeper into Latin American societies, the College offers a combined major in Spanish and Latin American Studies. "I call it our stealth program here at the Sociology major Daniel Chiteji '05 (center) helps two local Latino College," said Hartzell, who'teaches in the political science high-school students with homework as part of a program conducted department in addition to coordinating Latin American Studies. twice weekly at Musselman Library in partnership with the Lincoln The program was started thirteen years ago, but only offered a Intermediate Unit regional public education agency. minor until the combined major with Spanish was statted two years ago.

LaMagna, working with his Hong Kong office and authorities in Taipei and China, also did follow-up raids in Taiwan and China, shutting down several factories and arresting people in connection to the intercepted shipment. "I hesitate to use the term 'organized crime' for this type of activity because people tend to think of the Mafia," LaMagna said. "But this is very much an organized criminal enterprise. People have invested millions of dollars to set up illegal factories where they can produce counterfeit software as well as counterfeit keyboards, circuits, and computer hardware.
