China ·expert shares politics via Hollywood
By Daniel Sturgeon
Staff Writer
A guest lecturer at the
University of Louisville
brought the politics of China
alive for students and com­munity
members last week.
Orville Schell, dean of the
Graduate School ofJoumal­ism
at UC Berkeley, gave
two lectures on Tuesdav
evening and Wednesday
morning. His informative
lectures shed light on the .
American intrigue with Ti-
Orville Schell
bet, . es­pecially
through
the eyes
of Hol­lywood.
Schell
e x
plained
this cap­tivation
with Tibet through
several case studies, includ­ing
the films "Seven Years
in Tibet" and "Kundun."
He explained how the mov­ies
presented an antiquated
image ofTibet that Hollywood
continues to promote. Refer­ring
to diverging images of Ti­bet
in China and the US, Schell
noted, "it is hard to deal with
problems when they become
detached from reality."
The Crane House,
Louisville's Asian cultural
center, sponsored Schell's visit
to Louisville and the Univer­sity.
Schell's visit was made
possible by a grant to the
Crane House from the C.E.
and S. Foundation. The Crane
House endeavors to foster
mutual understanding
among the peoples of the
United States and Asia. The
Political Science Depart­ment
hosted Schell on
Wednesday morning.
Christine Wade, program
coordinator for the Crane
House, felt Schell's visit was
very important for Louis­ville.
Referring to Schell's
Tuesday evening talk she
said, for him "to talk about
this subject is a different ap­proach."

Jane Goodall returns to campus
By Eric King
Staff Writer
I ane Goodall returned to
the University of Louisville
last week to speak to a full
house about her life experi­ences
live on WFPL 89.3FM,
Louisville's NPR news s ta-tion.
She arrived at the Univer­sity
on Wednesday, made her
only public appearance on
Thursday in Stricker's
Middleton A_uditorium, and
left on Friday after meeting
with various departments
from the school of Arts and
Sciences.
Goodall, who was seem­ingly
modest, is renowned
world wide for her unob­trusive
study of the chim­panzees
in Africa. Her body
of work in animal behavior
has set the standard in this
field, while her body of
know ledge has made her
the authority.
"When I was about nine
or ten, I read a book about
Tarzan," Goodall told lis­teners.
"And I thought
Jane was a wimp! I then
decided that I wanted to
live with animals and
write books about them."
Edna Ross of the Uni­versity
psychology de- .
partment enjoyed meeting
Goodall and says she con­sidered
it a great honor.
"She h as my highest ad­miration,"
said Ross. "We
know what we know be­cause
of her."
Goodall traveled to Af­rica
in her early twenties
sin!ply to observe chimpan­zees.
She was not a scientist,
nor did she claim to be. She
was simply a woman with
a deep connection to nature,
a fascination with animals,
and an admirable sense of
humility.
Goodall's greatest fear in
Africa however was not the
chimpanzees or the African
jungle itself. She said her
greatest fear was "being the
failure that everyone ex­pected."
Jane Goodall
Goodall was brought
to the University on a
program sponsored by
the Liberal Studies de­partment
to promote in­terdisciplinary
research
at the University.
through an outside perspec­tive
rather than taking sides.
Schell's visit is very im­portant
for the University
according to Gary Gregg,
director· of the McConnell .
Center for Leadership.
"China is in the news every­day,
and Schell was able to
make this news come alive
for students at U of L by ex­plaining
the cultural, eco­nomic,
political and histori­cal
context in which China
operates and the potential of
reform within that context."
· Schell has his masters and
Ph.D. degrees in Chinese
History at UC Berkeley. He
has traveled extensively
throughout China, written
14 books, and served as a
commentator and author on
all the major television net­works
and The New Yorker,
The New York Review of Books,
The A_tlantic, The Nation ,
News.week, and The China
Quarterly. His new book,
Virtual Tibet, is forthcoming.
Famous victim
shares experience
• Author of "Forgiving Dead Man
Walking" speaks about forgiveness
By Lindsay Wehr
Staff Writer
"There is good in every­one.
I do not believe anyone
is completely evil or lost,
everyone is redeemable."
This quote came from a 36-
year-old victim of rape
whose story was the basis
for the box office hit movie
Dead Men Walking. This
guest speaker was spon­sored
by the Women's Cen­ter,
along with the Housing
Department and the Baptist
Student Union.
