Marintzer gains from seminar in Israel ISRAEL from page 1 still brought some misconceptions with him. “We were all a little apprehen sive at first, but when we got there, the feeling was all gone. It was very safe and the people were friendly,” he said. It took some time for Marintzer to adjust to the customs of a foreign country, but he said it wasn’t a big problem for him, especially in the larger cities. “The whole country is very Americanized,” he said. ‘Tel Aviv was like a suburb of New York.” Although Hebrew is the lan guage spoken in Israel, Marintzer said Israeli children learn English from the time they are 10 until they finish secondary sdiool, so commu nication wasn't a problem. “There’s so much more there than what you see in the media,” he said. “You can only get a superfi cial glance of what's going on over there. It's much more complicated than what you hear in die U.S.” Marintzer said the feeling of military presence in the country is hard to miss because armed soldiers casually walk the streets along with everyone else. “In die U.S., we worry about taxes and the environment, and seemingly unimportant things like that, and there, they're on the brink of extinction from their neighbor ing countries” he said. The students had an opportunity to meet with student leaders from Hebrew University in Jerusalem to discuss issues and exchange cultural information. Marintzer said many Israelis had such deeply held convictions that it almost made him think the country's problems could not be resolved. But he said there was faith in Israel that peace will cone to the Middle East. “There are so many sides to the issues,” Marintzer said, “but the people have so much optimism, es pecially the students. It was so en couraging.” American Heart frA R|j|HpRRIRn Associations^^ B||Jal|l||U|&i|||lSll Fighting Heart Disease and Stroke | Receive the local entertainment mix in The World-Herald.

' nsptrtmNfll PMinw FtfiiwiWw Vice chancellor search begins By Erin Schulte Senior Reporter A search committee plans to take almost a year to fill the second-highest administrative position at the Univer sity ofNebraska-Lincoln. It will be 1997 before Joan Leitzel, former senior vice chancellor for aca demic affairs, is replaced Leitzel left the position in June to become presi dent of the Uhiversity of New Hamp shire in Durham. Brian Foster, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and chairman of the search committee, said even spring of 1997 was “a very ambitious goal.” The search committee was formed over the summer and drew up a job description and a search strategy, Fos ter said. The committee contracted with Kan Ferry International, a search firm, to help find qualified candidates. Advertisements describing the po sition were run in trade journals, Fos ter said, and the committee sent letters asking for nominations to “influential people in higher education.” Foster said the search committee had received a large number of nomi nations or applications for the senior vice chancellor position. Applications are still being accepted. Foster said a review of the candi dates would begin in a few days, and candidates may come to campus for interviews in November. Foster added that the committee was not ruling out UNL applicants. “It’s a very important search and we can be aided a great deal by everyone on campus helping to identify promis ing candidates.” Motorists pay 9 cents more per gallon at pump this year The Associated Press OMAHA - Those planning a road trip across Nebraska during the Labor Day weekend can expect to pay more at the gas pump, according to a survey by the American Automobile Associa tion.
