Pessimists Will Have to Wait, as Housing Boom Rolls On
Stephen Thode, associate professor finance and law and director of the Goodman Center for Real Estate Studies at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about the housing boom. Experts note that over the past five years there's been a pretty substantial run-up in housing prices. “That can't sustain itself for any period of time. We learned that lesson in the '70s,” says Thode. “I'm not predicting any collapse in the real estate market, but what goes on in the next six to nine months may not be sustainable for the next three to five years.” Indeed, he says, barring any unexpected jolts in the economy, don't expect any signs of a major change in the housing market until the cherry blossoms bloom next spring.

Show of Force no Longer Enough, McHale Says
Paul McHale, assistant secretary of defense for homeland security and Lehigh alumnus, spoke to an audience of mostly college students at Neville Hall on Thursday. Predictions of terrorists waging biological warfare on American soil have not come true in the three years since the Sept. 11 attacks, but the nation is far from safe, McHale said. The United States must remain vigilant and flexible to deal with the ''continually changing nature of terrorism.”

Sally Handlon, program director for business education at Lehigh University’s Small Business Development Center, was quoted in an article about how successful companies acknowledge the demands and responsibilities of family life and, when possible, adapt schedules and policies to accommodate those realities. “The small business owner needs to understand the demands of the employees and really try to coordinate if there is child care, if there is eldercare, or if there’s a need to take some time off for a period of time,” says Handlon. “They have really got to work with the employee. And the employees need to work with the business owner so the business owner can help.”
