World

The New Jersey Department of Education is sponsoring a "world languages
teacher recruitment day, April 29. As you may know, New Jersey is beginning
to implement a new requirement that all students study foreign languages
beginning in elementary school. At this recruitment day, "representatives
from numerous school districts seeking foreign language teachers will be
available to discuss available opportunities with prospective candidates."
If you are majoring/minoring in German, or if you are reasonably fluent
in a language other than English, you might be interested in attending,
even if you have not (yet) pursued teacher certification.
The recruitment day is Saturday, April 29, 9-1, at J.P. Stevens H.S.,
855 Grove Avenue, Edison, NJ. To register, fax or email your name, address,
telephone number, fax number, and email address by April 18, to

Günter Grass wins Nobel prize for literature
Spiegel calls it a "Ritterschlag für die deutsche Nachkriegsliteratur":
Günter Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature this week,
becoming the second post-war German writer to receive the honor (after
Heinrich Böll in 1972). Grass is best known for his novel Die Blechtrommel
(The Tin Drum, 1959), which many Rutgers Camden students have encountered
either directly or through the 1979 film version. But the Nobel prize is
awarded for an entire body of work, which in Grass's case includes numerous
other novels, such as
Katz und Maus, Hundejahre, and Die
Rattin.
