TEXT C The University of California was chartered in 1868 and established at Berkeley in 1875. South Hall, an ivy-covered Gothic-revival building of red brick, is the only survivor of the nineteenth century campus buildings. Today, the Berkeley campus is the senior member of the nine-campus University of California System. Berkeley offers a full range of academic majors in programs ranging from bachelors degree programs through doctoral and professional degree programs. In a national survey published in fall 1992, Berkeley placed highest of all public university in a ranking that included five attributes: reputation, selectivity faculty resources, financial resources, and student satisfaction. More students who earn bachelors degrees at Berkeley complete Ph. Ds than graduates of any other university in the country. Undergraduate students can choose from more than 5,000 different courses and over 100 majors or they can design their own individual majors. The graduate division offers professional and academic degrees in more than 100 majors. Aiding students in their course work is a campus network of twenty-four libraries, including one especially for undergraduates. There are also many support facilities and services available, such as the Student Learning Center, financial aid counseling, housing assistance, graduate and professional school advising, and career placement assistance. The 1,200-acre campus stretches from downtown Berkeley through wooded hills that overlook San Francisco Bay. The city of Berkeley (population 105,000) offers the lively background of one of Americas more culturally diverse and politically adventurous small cities. The surrounding San Francisco Bay area provides an abundance of recreational and cultural events.

TEXT D The inhabitants of Planet Earth have gone crazy for personal wireless communications. Globally, at the end of 1996 there were up to 140 million cellular subscribers and annual growth rates exceed 50 per cent. The future looks even brighter. "We have been working with predictions of 350 ~ 400 million for the year 2000, but we are now prepared to revise these upward. We may be closer to 450~ 500 million by then." Predicts president of Ericsson, "looking further we can see 550 million in five years time." This is a remarkable success story for an industry that is less than 20 years old. The majority of cellular subscribers are still using analog technology, but the last two years have seen a massive and decisive shift to digital. "I think you can say the analog era is over -- at least outside the U.S. market." Says Mika Vehvilainen, senior vice president, system of marketing and sales for Nokia, "If you look at Asia Pacific and Europe, the growth is now virtually all on the digital side." In the global digital cellular battle, Europes GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standard has emerged as the clear market leader. In excess of 200 operators in 130-plus countries have signed up for GSM -- and the number grows daily. As a result, rival digital technologies such as CDMA and TDMA face an uphill road.
