Allan Lightner, Jr., a career diplomat whose posts have given him a bird's eye view of the un-folding of World War II and the development of Cold War diplomacy, begins his tenure at Augustana College as a visiting professor under a new program designed to promote closer relationships between colleges and the world of affairs.

Tickets may be purchased in advance in the Augustana Commons Con-course, or at the door the evening of the performance. to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Lightner, also Ambassador to Libya from 1963 to 1965, is one of 60 Woodrow Wilson Senior Fellows drawn from business, in-dustry, public affairs, and the professions who visit college campuses for a week or more as visiting professors. The in-novative program is ad-ministered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation at Princeton, New Jersey, and funded by a three-year million dollar grant from the Lilly Endowment of In-dianapolis. Early in his career, Lightner held posts in three capitals deep-ly affected by World War II: Moscow, Oslo, and Stockholm. From his base in Stockholm, Lightner worked with the Norwegian underground from 1942 to 1943. Prior to the war's end and in the post-war period, he was assigned to London where he was assistant political advisor in the United States delegation to the European Advisory Commission which planned the terms of sur-render and occupation of Ger-many. In 1948 Lightner became associate chief of the State Department Division of Central European Affairs which backstopped the German Oc-cupation. Lightner served at the American Embassy in Korea during the Korean conflict and its aftermath, from 1951 to 1953. He headed the United States Consulate in Munich from 1953 until 1956. For three years, Lightner was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Af-fairs in Washington, which in-volved him in cultural exchange and information programs. "The highpoint of my career, however," Lightner says, "was my participation in the Berlin Crisis between 1959 and 1963. I was there when it all culminated in the construction of the Berlin Wall." Lightner was Minister, the highest ranking civilian posi-tion in the State Department's Mission in West Berlin, which at the time was under the military jurisdiction of France, Britain, and the United States. On August 13, 1961, the day the Wall went up, Lightner received a pre-dawn phone call. After a 5 a.m. visit to the site, Lightner and other civilian and military representatives of the Western powers met with Willy Brandt, then Mayor of West Berlin, to define a response to the Russian challenge. "Interestingly enough," Lightner says now, "the Wall did much to contribute to the end of the Berlin crisis. Until the Wall went up, 2,000 East Germans a day used Berlin as an escape route. Because these people were the cream of the crop, professionals and skilled workers, we knew the Russians inevitably would try to stem the flow of refugees." During the days after the Wall went up, Lightner was in cons-tant contact with Washington. "We used to joke then," he recalls, "that the Berlin Desk Of-ficer was President Kennedy." "For the East Berliners, the Wall ended any easy escape from , East Germany. It forced them to make peace with their own regime," Lightner believes, "and this was a factor in improving East Germany's economy. The Russians no longer regarded Berlin as a canker sore within the East German Republic and learned to live with its presence." During his stay at Augustana, Lightner hopes to foster better understanding of the diplomatic process and international relations. "I would like to con-vey," he says, "how difficult, how almost impossible it is to get neat solutions to problems between nations." Lightner will be accompanied by his wife, the former Dorothy Boyce, who worked for the State Department before their marriage in 1953. She held positions editing publications for Far Eastern audiences and head-ed the Voice of America's Korean Desk. The Lightners have a son and daughter in preparatory schools, and an older son, now on leave from Colby College, where he is a sophomore. They live in Washington, D. C. Lightner is co-author of The U.S. Department of State, a book on the history and func-tions of the State Department aimed at college audiences, due for publication by Praeger early in 1974. See It for The Last Time This Friday evening at 9 p.m., in the gym-auditorium, Augustana Students will have their final opportunity to see for their 1st or 2nd time the 1973 Viking Variety show. Friday night's performance is being scheduled in conjunction with the concert band festival, where 400 bandsmen and their directors are expected to attend. All Augustana students will be admitted through the front doors, with a 50c admission charge. Gate receipts will be forwarded to a Sioux Falls com-munity charity.
