Already it’s a season of new semester. Comparative with summer vacation, lots of people are walking and using the campus. Some of them are busy with changing their classes probably or getting ready for new books as always. As it’s involved with the word ‘beginning’, people may wish everything goes fine. Even if they don’t care about their grade and exams, such a meaning of those kind of high spirited atmosphere, ‘hand in hand’ comes out as a keyword for this issue of magazine.

However it’s a shame that everybody in 20s have a tendency that has the thinking and behaviors of self-centered minds. Calculating is either good or bad for oneself, they often make a list of priorities. Community spirits of 20s are decreasing and cannot be seen easily around the campus. One of Herald interviewee said “Many people praise and like a MBC TV program called ‘Infinite Challenge’ and it values a spirit of ‘together’ just like rowing. While the youth of nowadays are the case of opposite. It’s a contradiction….” Anyway, the real meaning of hand in hand will brighten the situation from these improper issues.

On 27th August – 4th September, World Championship in Athletics is held in Daegu. A number of foreigners have gathered in Daegu for the games and it may lead to the harmony. We, Herald, are looking forward that such a marvelous international festivals will give birth to the result of 1988 Seoul Olympics not only in Daegu but also in Korea. Just like a 1988 Seoul Olympic theme song ‘hand in hand’….
 

Hand in hand – 1988 Olympic Theme Song.

See the fire in the sky
We feel the beating of our hearts together
This is our time to rise above
We know the chance is here to live forever
For all time

Hand in Hand we stand
All across the land
We can make this world
A better place in which to live

Hand in Hand we can
Start to understand
Breaking down the walls
That come between us for all time
Arirang
