Landscape Services was at the con ference so organizations “don’t have to worry about sprinklers turning on dur ing (their) event,” said Chris Cary, city campus landscape services secretary. Organizations that use university services or facilities for their event start the process by consulting Student Involvement. Student Involvement directs the organization to the depart ments on campus they will need for their event. Dake said the conference did its job. “(The SOAR conference) makes the legwork simpler, because we are all in one room.” on* oMar GStaT nr** THAT Time on Teak WHeN THOUSANDS on STUDENT* COMe TO JAMAICA TO Seed as*.

ASUN to hold social for foreign students By Bernard Vogelsang Staff writer Getting international students more involved and giving them the opportunity to be better represented on campus are the goals of a social for international and American stu dents tonight. The social, sponsored by the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska internation al students subcommittee and the Student Impact Team, is from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the continental dining room of the Selleck Quadrangle. At the social, international stu dents will be able to voice problems that may impede them from being successful at UNL, organizers said. Aaron Scheibe, chairman of the international students subcommit tee, said students from foreign countries are underrepresented in student government. After hearing the students’ con cerns, ASUN will start working immediately on issues that face international students, said Sarah Kelling* a member of the interna tional students subcommittee. “We will do anything to make their experience in the United States better,” Kelling said. Scheibe said the meeting also is meant to integrate American and international students. In the fall semester, 1,481 UNL students, or 6.6 percent of the stu dent body, were from foreign coun tries, according to UNL’s online fact book. Kelling said she would like to organize more socials for interna tional and American students. But, she said, whether that happens depends on their response. “If they want more, we will have more.” Book on Holocaust available after delay By Kim Sweet Staff writer Readers eager to get their hands on a book that contains a unique perspec tive of the Holocaust will soon get their chance. After waiting more than 1 lA years while a book detailing the Holocaust experiences of a Romanian Jew sat unassembled in a printer’s warehouse, University of Nebraska Press Director Daniel Ross said the books arrived at the Lincoln warehouse on Friday. The book, entitled “Man of Ashes,” was written by the late Salomon Isacovici, a man who survived Auschwitz and other Nazi concentra tion camps. It was written in Spanish and pub lished in Mexico in 1990 with the help of Juan Manuel Rodriguez. The appearance of the book in the 1999 spring and summer catalog comes after years of controversy between Isacovici and Rodriguez over authorship of the book. Erica Kuebler Rippeteau, publicity director for the University of Nebraska Press, said she was excited about the unique addition to the University of Nebraska Press’ Jewish Studies collec tion. The book is unique because there are few accounts of Romanian Jews during the Holocaust, Kuebler Rippeteau said, and Isacovici’s emigra tion to Ecuador during World War II makes the book important to increas ing knowledge of the Holocaust. “There are very few writings from Jews who ended up in South America,” she said. “It really contributes to the body of knowledge of the Holocaust.” While many of the books the University of Nebraska Press puts out are aimed at a scholarly audience, Kuebler Rippeteau said, “Man of Ashes” will appeal to a wide audience. “The book can be read and enjoyed by any lay person,” she said. The book can be ordered through the University of Nebraska Press or local bookstores. While orders can be made, the book will not be available to readers until February, she said. The University of Nebraska Press made the decision to go ahead with the assembling of the books last year. Earlier, Rodriguez threatened to take action if Isacovici published the book in the United States. The decision came after the univer sity’s lawyers said they had a strong case if sued by Rodriguez, who claimed co-authorship of the book, Herb Howe, press adviser for the University of Nebraska Press, said in September. Ross said minor changes were made to the book to appease Rodriguez. In the University of Nebraska Press’ catalog, the book is advertised as being authored by Isacovici and Rodriguez. Dick Gerdes, a professor of Spanish literature at George Mason University in Washington, D.C., is credited with translating the book into English. Ross and the lawyer representing the University of Nebraska Press said they would not comment on whether legal action had been taken on the book. l _’lytooks.com I 9 josroiRecflhgiMim I Check these sites out at http:\ \dailynebxom -:—-1..- 1
