PAGE 3 THE LANCE October 20. 1987 Annalisa's Russian Roots By STORMY INGOLD Although the students at St. Andrews come from varied backgrounds, it is unlikely that any other has a heritage like that of Annalisa (Anika) Paliyenko. Miss Paliyenko is a descen- dent of Ukrainian nobility that can be traced directly to an ancestor, Paliy, who was a Ukrainian count in the 1600’s. The family name, Paliyneko, is translated “son of Paliy.” Her great-uncle served in the Ukrainian army as a general and led a resistance against the Com munist overthrow of the Rus sian government. Also serv ing in this army were her grandfather as s^t. General and her uncle as a fioutenant. Due to the danger the Paliyenkos were in while they remained in the Soviet Union, her father, Paul, her uncle, and their mother left the Ukraine and received asylum in the English sector of Austria at Salzburg. After waiting three years for visas, they went to Toronto Canada to live. This is where her father met her mother, Alexandra Sawka, whose family had fled the Ukraine at the first signs of the Bolshevik Revolution. Later they were married and after living in London, England, the couple moved to the United States. Six children were born to the Paliyenkos: Ava, Adrianna, Paul, Alexa, Annalisa, and her twin brother, Peter. The Paliyenkos speak fluent Ukraman and at 'their home in Charlotte this all that is heard. They also celebrate their culture by en joying Ukrainian holidays, art, and music. Besides her enthusiasm about her heritage and possession of dual Ukrainian-American citizen ship. Miss Paliyenko is in terested in student govern ment, opera, competitive swimming and studies in St. Andrews’ premed program. I S.A.

In actuality Dr. Applegate i ( and Dr. Alexander have swit ched positions for this academic year. Dr. Alex ander has been a professor of biology since 1958 at Tungai University in Taiwan. Every fifth year he travels abroad to the United States to speak and interpret Chinese life and the Christian church in Taiwan. He first heard about St. Andrews in the late 1960’s. The college was described to him as a first rate, self- supportive Christian school. He visited St. Andrews in 1977 and was impressed, fin ding it the “ideal teaching environment.” Consequently, he applied . o A1 to St. Andrews in May of Dr. Paul S. Alexander ■ 1981. Chance would have it that President Perkinson was travelling that spring and stopped in to visit Dr. Alex ander in Taiwan. This enabl ed them the opportunity to get to know one another which resulted in the move to St. Andrews. Dr. Alexander received his B.A. from Indiana Central University and lus Ph.D. from Indiana University. In 1960 he spent a year as a special student at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The “easy student teacher relationship” was especially attractive to Dr. Alexander. “Teachers learn from the students here. Learning should not be mere memorization but a process of verbaf interaction between the student and teacher.” Dr. Alexander has found that all too often “students have a lack of respect for their own observations. But what way seem like a dumb tho'ught can. enlightening to the whole class. “It opens communica tion and stimulates the pro fessor.” The St. Andrews “team teaching concept” strikes Dr. Alexander as very and useful. He would eventually like to employ this concept at Tunghai when he returns. Dr. Alexander has a specal fondness for philosophy. Since 1978 he has been teaching a philosophy of science seminar to senior science students at Tunghai. Since his arrival at St. An drews Dr. Alexander has been attending classes in Philosophy of Technology an Philosophy of the Scien tific Revolutions. He vieys this as an exceHgnt oppor- tiumty to further jkvelop his. teaching expertise in the area of philosophy and science. More importantly this will enable him to better “understand the nature of science in its historical and be very ■ cultural perspective.'
