Leitzel Continued from Page 1 where know ledge is created and trans mitted. This kind of university will play a critical role in the next decade,” Leitzel said. “This is why UNL is interesting to me.” Leitzel also enjoys the atmosphere at the university. “A university is a special commu nity. Everybody is learning. It’s an exciting place to be,” Leitzel said. She said that her most challenging position is her current position at the National Science Foundation. “NSF has a high priority for im proving student abilities in science and math all across the board as well as improving the accessibility of women and minorities to the field. As decentralized as education is in this country, this is very challenging,” Leitzel said. When Leitzel assumes her post at UNL on August 15, her duties will include oversight of the Graduate College and the International Affairs Office. Leitzel will also oversee all academic programs on campus ex cept those in the Institute for Agricul ture and Natural Resources. Leitzel will receive an annual sal ary of $128,000. Chancellor Graham Spanier said items high on his agenda for Leitzel include an overhaul of general educa tion on campus and budget and fiscal issues. Leitzel has written several text books and won several awards includ ing the Director’s Award for Manage ment Excellence at the NSF last year. But Leitzel’s most valued award is her Distinguished Teaching Award that she received at Ohio State. “It’s the one I prize the most be cause I very much value teaching,” Leitzel said. Leitzel received her bachelor’s degree from Hanover Col lege in 1958, a master’s degree from Brown Uni versity in 1961 and her doctorate from Indiana University in 1965. All three were earned in mathematics. Additionally, she has held several leadership roles in the Mathematics Association of America, and is a mem ber of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Council of Teachers of Math ematics and Sigma Xi. In her spare time, and Leitzel ad mits she doesn’t have much of it, she enjoys outdoor activities, such as hik ing and swimming as well as and spending time with her family. Mountain Continued from Page 1 lime as a graphic artisl at the Lincoln Journal-Star. Her abilities as an artist were dam aged by the head injuries she received, and she told of frustration in not being able to see detail in her art work. She said she feels the previous quality of her work will come back gradually, and she has no plans to seek another career. But, Mountain said, worst of all has been her entire personality change since the attack. “I was very happy, and always smiling. I looked at things optimisti cally,” Mountain said. She said she is regaining some of her old optimism slowly, and smiling more now. Mountain said that her co workers had been especially under standing during this time. “You learn to know who your good friends are, by the way they react and the way they help you,” Mountain said. As for her husband, whom she married after the attack, Mountain praised him for his perseverance, in the face of the changes brought on by her injuries. “He always slicks with me, even when my personality is awful. 1 don’t know if anyone else would have acted as he did,” Mountain said. Both expressed relief that the trial process for Baldwin is nearly over. She said the trial and surrounding publicity have been a constant source of stress for her. “Fora while, I was afraid to be seen in public, wondering if someone was out to get me,” Mountain said. She added that the couple still does not go out much. ^ Both also expressed some linger ing bitterness over the attack, though it is lessening. Mountain said the an ger is intermittent, but now she is hoping to get better, ‘‘because I have to.” Her husband told reporters he has learned to think of the beating as an accident, not as an assault. Despite the difficulties over the past six months, the couple said they are looking for the future to improve, and are considering starting a family. For the immediate future, the couple are planning a honeymoon. Regents Continued from Page 1 ings and other categories. Money for the program needs was broken down into broad categories for each of the university’s four campuses and uni versity-wide expenses. “I look at the proposed budget and I can identify someof the things we’ve identified as high priority, but there are things I don’t see,” regent Charles Wilson of Lincoln said. He said library services and stu dent counseling were examples of areas the regents had earlier identi fied as priorities, yet they didn’t seem to be specifically provided for in the budget requests. In other business, the regents ap proved a $19 million contract for construction of the Beadle Center for Geneticsand Biomaterials Research in Lincoln. The ccnier is expected to house more than 235 researchers and faculty members specializing in agri cultural biotechnology. The regen is also approved creation of a center forAlbanian studies at UNL.
