Study Abroad offers students
By JO LEE CREDLE
Staff Writer
ome students in other coun
tries want to meet American
'students and teach them about
foreign cultures, while students here
want to return the favor. Two separ
ate worlds can move a little closer
together with the help of the UNC
Study Abroad office.
Judy Tilson, director of the UNC
Study Abroad office, said that
studying abroad is not for everyone.
Those students who decide to go are
"risk takers" who seize the oppor
tunity to see another world.
"It is a little scary to think of get
ting off a train in some foreign cul
ture and not seeing 'buy your ticket
here' in English," Tilson said.
Students who are involved in the
UNC program receive many bene
fits. Those who take a full load of
coursework while studying abroad
for a year can transfer two semesters
of coursework to the University,
said Dr. John Florin, dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences. For
history, political science, interna
tional studies and language majors,
the overseas courses are closely con
nected with those majors but are
taught in an alternate environment
not available in Chapel Hill.
According to Tilson, one student
was accepted at Yale for graduate
studies primarily because he studied

"As part of the Israeli society I must
serve my country," he said. "There
is a conflict between my nation and
my state, between my people and my
land."
The Palestinian dilemma is only
now beginning to be internationally
recognized, Massarwa said, and
external aid is vital to the success of
any Arab-Israeli peace conferences.
"We have realized that negotiations
without a neutral mediator are very
difficult. Not until Camp David (with
the United States serving as moder
ator) did Egypt and Israel achieve
their first peace agreement," Mas
sarwa said.
Jordan is the only Arab state to
accept Palestinians as citizens. Pales

BELFAST, Northern Ireland
Two Roman Catholics were shot
dead and hearses bearing the coffins
of three Irish Republican Army
(IRA) guerrillas were pelted with
stones by jeering Protestants, police
said Tuesday.
Charles McGrillan was gunned
down from a motorcycle outside a
Belfast supermarket as he arrived for
work Tuesday, police said.
His death bore the hallmarks of
a sectarian murder by Protestant
terrorists, they said.
The night before, police said,
troops shot a gunman who fired on
an army patrol near the Belfast home
of one of the dead guerrillas. Kevin
McCracken, 33, who had a record
of IRA activity, died later in the
hospital.
The three guerrillas, killed in
Gibraltar March 6 by a British anti
terrorism squad as they were planning
a car bombing, were to be buried
Wednesday in the biggest such
funeral since 1981, when 10 guerrillas
died in prison hunger strikes.
Catholic sympathy for Mairead
Farrell, 31; Sean Savage, 24; and
Daniel McCann, 30, is heightened by
the fact that they were unarmed, and
the Irish government has protested
that they shouldn't have been killed.
The Rev. Raymond Murray, chap
lain of the Armagh Jail where Miss
Farrell spent 10 years on a bombing
charge, denounced the killings at a

abroad for a year while he was in
the undergraduate program at UNC.
William Wells, federal financial
aid director, said that students can
receive the same level of funding
that they would have received if they
remained at the University for the
school year. Travel grants are also
available for amounts of $500 to
$1,000, but students traveling to the
Orient have a better chance of get
ting the $1,000 grants.
"If you have the courage to be an
exchange student, you are some
body special," Tilson said. "You are
a survivor, you know another cul
ture, and you very often know
another language. You have a com
mon bond with a very select group
of people who have had the courage
to go out and explore the world."
Tilson's son Max, a senior psy
chology major from Raleigh, went
to Tubingen, Germany, last year. "I
had a lot of time for introspection
while I was there," the younger Til
son said. He had free time to travel
and see the country because he sche
duled his classes only on Mondays
and Tuesdays.
Students who study abroad may
not have to attend UNC for an extra
year to catch up and graduate. Now,
it is easier than ever to transfer
credit back to the University.
General College adviser Cynthia
Dessen works closely with students
with the knowledge that the country
in which they are living is not their
own, Massarwa said.
"For the . first time it is being
recognized that the Palestinians as a
people are homeless, stateless. Many
prefer to die, to be killed, than to
live this life," he said.
The solution to the horror of
refugee camps is to destroy them, and
Israel alone can do so, Massarwa
said. Houses can replace the tiny tents
and huts to restore Palestinian self
esteem, he said. "Any kind of solution
so that they live in self-determination,
not as a part of Israel, would be
acceptable," he said.
The Palestinian Liberation Organ
ization (PLO) is the only group to
officially represent the Palestinians.
However, the Israeli government has
refused to negotiate with the PLO

For instance, he said, Williamson
was quoted in the Raleigh News and
Observer as saying many black
students leave UNC because they do
not want to build up large debts from
student loans.

say why black students leave UNC

they will receive as much credit as
possible. Students are encouraged to
go to the Study Abroad office at
least a semester in advance to exam
ine a flow chart of steps for studying
overseas.
"Right now, students get hours
for their coursework abroad, but
they do not get grades except in the
Montpellier (France) and the Seville
(Spain) program," Dessen said. "We
are in the process of trying to get
graded credit for the other
programs."
Dessen said that any student with
a 2.4 quality point average can get a
"leave of absence" from the Univer
sity and still receive preregistration
information while overseas.
If a student wishes to go to a uni
versity not sponsored by UNC,
Dessen said it is best to make plans
through the Study Abroad office.
"By far, the hardest way to get into
a foreign university is directly," she
said. "We encourage students to
come to this office first and let us
help them get in and get proper
credit."
Marilyn Scott of the German
department also helps students
receive credit after they have studied
overseas and reentered the UNC
system.

The abundance of violence in the
Middle East has arisen from the
Palestinians' desperation and willing
ness to die for autonomy, Massarwa
said. There have been five wars
between the Arab nation and the state
of Israel in the past 40 years.
"The wars have been more Arab
humiliation than Israeli victory," he
said.
Massarwa favors a multilateral
approach to negotiations and is
hopeful for the future of Arab-Israeli
relations. "The major factors in the
Middle East don't give, until now,
their reply to the U.S. proposal," he
said. "We must wait. By the end of
this month we should see a beginning
to the solution."

Production company to perform
Cervantes' classic in Memorial Hall
By KELLY RHODES
Arts Editor
"Man of La Mancha," one of the
most successful Broadway plays ever,
will be performed by touring com
pany Daedalus Productions in
Memorial Hall tonight at 8 p.m.
The play, written by Dale Wasser
man and based on Miguel de Cer
vantes' "Don Quixote," was per
formed 2,328 times on Broadway for
six years ending in 1971. The musical
was revived twice in New Yor, has
toured the nation several times, was
also successful in Madrid, London,
Paris and Rome and was made into
a movie starring Sophia Loren, Peter
OToole and James Coco.
Mitch Leigh wrote the music for
the play, and Joe Darion composed
the lyrics.
John Wyle, 25-year veteran of
theater, television and cabaret, will
portray Don Quixote for his third
tour. Wyle has had success in shows
such as "Funny Girl ""South Pacific"
and "The Sound of Music." Marshall
Gitter will portray Quixote's fun
loving foil, Sancho Panza, in the
touring production.
Rehearsal for "Man of La Man
cha" began in February under the
direction of Philip Giberson, who
also directed the New York premiere
of "Catch-22" and the tour perfor
mances of "Side by Side with Sond
heim" and "The Fantasticks."
The story is set in the golden age
of chivalry 16th century Spain in
the midst of the Spanish Inquisition
and tells the story of Quixote, the
aging knight in shining armor,
traveling in the rough world around
him, fighting windmills with his
reluctant squire Panza and romanc
ing the tavern wench Aldonza.
During his quest for Aldonza,
Quixote sings the unusual and mov
ing love song, "To Dream the Impos
sible Dream," which has become one
of musical theater's best-known
pieces.
Wasserman's script was originally
conceived as a tribute to Cervantes,
a shadowy but beloved figure in
Spanish history. In his lifetime,
Cervantes wrote 40 plays and one
book, many of which dealt with the
