A DAY IN THE LIFE... of an Exchange Student in Germany
Follow Kim Liao through a typical day in Wuppertal
By PATTY HUNG, staff writer
2:00P.M. – Lunch is extra special because Kim gets a respite from the aforesaid cold cuts, cheese, and dark bread. Instead, she eats lip-smacking Spätzle (fried noodles usually served in a sauce), Goulasch Suppe (a heavily spiced soup with meat and vegetables), Birne Helene (dessert consisting of pears covered with a fruity sauce), Schnitzels (pork with a breaded crust), or the greasy but totally worth it Thüringer Roastbratwursts, “the absolute best sausage you’ll ever have in Germany,” according to Kim.

THE EAST MEETS THE WEST: A look at Alternative Medicine Today
Alternative Oriental medicine goes mainstream
Interview with Dr. Richard Chang
By CALIFORNIA KAY, graphics editor
The best evidence of the public’s reactions is that several insurance companies now cover some forms of alternative medicine as treatment. Insurance companies, namely, Blue Shield, Blue Cross, and Signa have now considered acupuncture as a treatment. It’s gaining in popularity only because, for many people, it’s working. That’s why the insurance companies are willing to cover this treatment. Even the state MediCal program now covers acupuncture treatment. In America, there are several million acupuncture visits in the United States every year, and the number continues to grow.
