I Photo by John Borge] Rukeyser featured at C-400 By LEANN WOLFF "It's your money, not your life/1 says Louis Rukevser, host of Wall Street Week and guest speaker of C-400 Nov. 12. People magazine calls Wall Street Week "public television's most amus-ing series since Monty Python and one of the most popular ever." And it appears as if a major factor of the series' suc-cess is Louis Rukeyser. "Talk exclusively about eco-nomics, and people are bored to death. But talk to them about money, and watch their eyes light up," asserts Rukeyser. Apparently his program follows his theory, it attracts five to eight million viewers. Kukeyser graduated from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Interna-tional Affairs in 1954. Following graduation he was political and Foreign correspondent for The Baltimore Sun Newspapers, re- .portingfrom Britan and Asia. In 1965 he joined ABC as national economic commentator in Paris, moving to London and then to New York. In 1970, he became the host of Wall Street Week. He is a bestselling author, writing a column three times a week that is printed in 170 papers. According to the Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting, Rukeyser's book, How to Make Money in Wall Street, is "A classic in the field." In his career in journalism Rukeyser has worked in three areas: political analysis, foreign correspondence, and economic interpretation, winning honors Louis Rukeyser in all threue. In an interview with Marie Updegraff of The Greenwich, Review Rukeyser said, "I find an interest in money is pretty near universal." But even with all his know-ledge and information about Wall Street, Rukeyser tends to stay away from delving deeply into the stockmarket himself. He said in an interview with Charles Cerami that forecasting stock averages is "not much more than a fun game." "One of the reasons I like to do speeches is that I get terrific feedback," says Rukeysor as quoted by Updegraff. Students are welcome to attend his lec-ture at 7:30 p.m. in the field-house, Nov. 12.
