Dr. David Dorondo, history professor, is responsible for arranging Gresmann's visit via correspondence Consultant General of the Federal Republic of Germany. Gresmann, who has had extensive experience as the political editor of the German weekly newspaper Sued- westfunk, and who has served as a correspondent in both German radio and television, will speak on the 40th Anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to be celebrated April 4. According to Dorondo, recent years have brought a great deal of discussion about the relative roles the U.S. should play in NATO compared to those Europe should play. "Because of the difference of opinion which sometimes arises, there are strains within the NATO Alliance between Europe and Washington," said Dorondo. ' "Gresmann will speak of these differences, but also of the very real strengths which exist in NATO between the Federal Republic of Germany and the U.S." Dorondo has arranged for Gresmann to address his History 416 class as well as give a university-wide lecture entitled "Troubled, but Successful—40 years North Atlantic Alliance/German Aspects," Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in the Natural Science Auditorium. "By addressing the 40th Anniversary of the NATO Alliance from the German perspective, Mr. Gresmann will help us better understand what German concerns are and what the Federal Republic of Germany thinks is important in German-American relations and in European-American relations," said Dorondo. by Christine Faris NEWS EDITOR Don't forget that March 15 is the deadline to apply for a 1989 Coors Veterans' Memorial Scholarship.
