Thursday, December 2, 1982 Goodwill mission Daily Nebraskan Page 7 8 0 Ne br aakan By Lorna Nissen Eighty Nebraskans will leave the state in March to serve as ambassadors to the Soviet Union as part of a goodwill mission sponsored by Friendship Force, Mary Hart of the Nebraska Friendship Force said. An international organization formed by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Friendship Force attempts to help people of all ages and nationalities to learn about and understand each other through exchanges, Hart said. Although this is the first Nebraska mission to Russia, it is not. the first Force-sponsored trip to the Soviet Union, she said. Also, it is not a true Friendship Force exchange since the Russian people are not allowed to come to the United States as ambassadors, she said. $1,295 exchange cost The 12-day trip will cost each ambassador about $1,295, which includes air fare from New York to Russia, hotel accommodations, most meals and train fare, Hart said. In the past, 250 Nebraskans were chosen as ambas sadors for missions, but now only 80 are chosen, Hart said. The number of ambassadors was cut because the larger number of people necessitated taking a charter flight, which is not as enjoyable as flying on a regular airline. On their trip to the Soviet Union, the ambassadors will get the chance to meet with many of the Russian people, see the countryside, ride a Soviet train and generally observe the Soviet lifestyle, Hart. said. The ambassadors will wear buttons and carry calling cards as they visit families and learn about the Soviet Union. Some of the stipulations being placed on the ambas sadors are that they stay in hotels and not in people's homes and that they don't invite people to their hotel rooms, she said. They will be allowed, to travel on their own, go out to dinner and go o the RuSsian ballet. I - -. mr- . - ,iMiggg"ani.,: simi -. -. - --inff 13 Lady Seiko. .

She said the Russian people are curious that Ameri cans care that much to visit Russia and are anxious to talk to the ambassadors. The Friendship Force wanted to do away with the "painted image" that Russians have of Americans and show that Americans are "beautiful people.1' The Friendship Force looks for people who are sin cerely interested in meeting with people of other cul tures, who are not looking to go on a "whoopee cruise" and who are not argumentative or are going to sell things, Hart said. Interviews for . prospective ambassadors to the Soviet Union will take place in Lincoln, Omaha and Grand Island until Jan. 1 , Hart said. Following the trip to the Soviet Union, ambassadors are allowed to correspond with the people that they meet. Hart said the previous U.S. Friendship Force mission to the Soviet Union was successful and she is hopeful that this special Nebraska Mission will be, too. She said she wishes the Soviet Union would ease restrictions and lei the Russian people visit the United States so that they could , experience the American life style firsthand.

Developing and managing Air Force engineering projects could be the most important, exciting challenge of your life, The projects extend to virtually every engineering frontier. 0 CAREER FIELDS FOR ENGINEERS -M i j it -'vkw. 4 astronautical, civil, electrical, mechanical and nuclear. Hundreds of diverse specialties are included in a wide variety of work settings. For example, an electrical engineer may work in aircraft design, space systems, power production, communications or research. A mechanical engineer might be involved in aircraft structure design, space vehicle launch pad construction, or research.
