By Leslie Kcndriik
The chairman and vice chairman of the UNL Depart
ment of Modern Languages have resigned to accept posts
outside Nebraska.
Chairman David Gitlitz has accepted the position of
dean of Arts and Sciences at the State University of New
York at Birmingham.
Vice Chairman Mark Cory lias accepted the position of
professor of German at the University of Arkansas.
Gitlitz said he will leave UNL at the end of this semes
ter, lie will spend the summer in Mexico working on a
book about Spanish pilgrimages. I lis position at New York
begins August 1 .
Both Gitlitz and Cory said they had no complaints
about the Modern Languages department. Gitlitz said he
has enjoyed his past six years with the department, which
Travel agency plans
study trip to Ecuador
Although not yet in full operation, Contract Travel, a
new Lincoln company, is planning big things for its
customers.
Manager Bob Bagby said Contract Travel, 5660 S. 48th
St., opened its doors Feb. 1 . But a technicality in its appli
cation to the Air Traffic Conference lias left the travel
company without a ticket stock, Bagby said.
What this means for Contract Travel customers, Bagby
said, is that the agency only can operate on an "exchange
order basis." The company can arrange anything for the
customer, but customers have to pick up their own
tickets separately. Bagby described it a "cash and carry"
process. But he hopes that will change in about 30 days.
Bagby said a request for a hearing to obtain a ticket
stock will take between 30 and 45 days. At that time,
Bagby may have to go to Washington for a hearing. The
decision to grant Contract Travel a ticket stock rests
solely on the commissioner of the ATC.
If the commissioner's decision is favorable, Contract
Travel will be able to carry out its plans.
One of Contract Travel's different approaches to travel
is a Bed and Breakfast program. Bagby said plans are for a
group to go to Ecuador, to stay in "whatever facilities
they (the company employees) find." He said this may
mean not staying in fancy hotels. While in Ecuador, the
group would use vacant school facilities and have regular
classes to learn of the country's history, typography and
people's background. In turn, Bagby hopes a group from
Ecuador can come to the Midwest and study at one of
Nebraska's colleges, such as Doane College in Crete. Me
said they would not study at UNL because it is a state
oriented college.
Bagby said Contract Travel will try to offer services
that no other agency does.
Camp Husker
provides fun
in Snowmass
Camp Husker, Snowmass,
Colo., July 4 through 10,
1982.
For the last three sum
mers, excluding 1981, about
500 UNL alumni and their
children have gathered in
Snowmass for a week of
fun and relaxation.
Charlotte Kramer, admi
nistrative assistant at the
UNL Alumni Association,
said that since vacations
are no longer a reason
able item in the family
budget, Camp Husker is
able to" offer, a savings.
Families stay in the lod
ges and condominiums that
house skiers in the winter.
Children under 12 stay for
free in their parents room,
so the vacation is a bar
gain for young families.
Every morning there is
Nebraska play school for
children under 5. There
are nature classes for chil
dren age 6 through 13,
and other activities for
children 13 to 17.
Glossy brochures show
off the other activities avail
able at Snowmass. An 18
hole golf course, 11 tennis
courts and 15 swimming
pools plus rodeos, hikes,
horeseback rides, fishing
and jeep and Whitewater
trips are available to the
families.
A registration fee of $55
per person and $45 for
children under 12 includes
the price of two meals.
has grown in size scope and quality.
Gitlitz said he accepted the New York position because
Birmingham, N.Y., is his home town and his parents live
there. Additionally, Gitlitz said, the State University in
Birmingham is an excellent school and he is intrigued with
the degree to which deans can improve the education in
their departments.
Cory said he would like to stress that he has had no
misgivings about the UNL Modern Languages department.
In fact, he said, now is a good time to leave because the
department is so strong.
John Yost, associate dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences, said that because of the 3 percent NU budget
reduction, the Modern Language department must prove
the need of the chairman and vice chairman positions
before they can be filled. Because of the viability of the
department, Yost said, there should not be much diffi
culty in preserving these positions.
If the chancellor decides to retain the positions, it
is still too late in the academic year to conduct any
search for a new chairman, Yost said.
At the earliest, he said, a new chairman could be ap
pointed in the spring semester of 1983. The new chair
man will then recommend someone for the vice chair
man's position.
