Soviet and US Students Start Campus Magazine

Seeking to bridge the cultural gap between Soviet and American undergraduates, a group of seniors at Harvard are working with students at Moscow State University to publish a bilingual campus magazine.

The publication, Voices of a New Generation, will be written by students from both campuses, and will feature articles about such things as university life, politics and the economy, said David A. Saef '91, the organizer of the Harvard end of the venture.

Saef, who as a visiting student at Moscow State University started a magazine focusing on American culture, said the publication would describe the lifestyles and perspectives of American and Soviet students.

"The magazine is not just about university life, but about economy and other social issues as well," said Saef. "We want it to be a teaching tool for students."

Saef said the first issue would include interviews with students from each Soviet republic and from 15 states.

There are currently about eight Harvard and 15 Moscow State students working on the magazine, which will also be distributed on Moscow State University campus, Saef said.

The magazine is now being registered with College and the first issue will probably come out in January, Saef said.

CityStep Ball Tickets Sold Out Yesterday

Students who have waited this long to buy tickets to the November 3 CityStep ball will have to keep waiting.

The tickets, which numbered around 1000, were all sold out by 3 p.m. yesterday. The Holyoke ticket office started selling the tickets October 19th.

"After the last person [who bought the last ticket] left, people coming in for the tickets were upset and heartbroken," said Stephen D. Frick '93, who works in the office.

CityStep is a public service program that teaches area school children to dance. It culminates in a musical production in the spring.

Kendalle Cobb '92, producer of special events for CityStep, said she was delighted that the upcoming first-year parents' weekend did not affect ticket sales.

"I'm glad that many students support CityStep," said Cobb, calling the ball "really the biggest fund-raiser for CityStep."
