a more specialized curriculum in finance, while still providing
graduate education in business.

The M.S.F. was developed by financial and industry leaders to
meet the needs of today's financial community. Educational
flexibility was built into the program by offering concentrations
in corporate finance and financial planning.
in Convenient
The M.S.F. is designed to fit your personal and work
schedules. Courses are offered in the evening and on the week-
end throughout the year. The program is structured for those
currently employed who seek upward mobility, and want to
earn a graduate degree on a part-time basis.

Shultz Shuttle
United States. It may also
bolster Likud's position
among the voters, who appear
to be more inclined to resist
calls for an international
peace conference as advocated
by Washington and supported
by the Shimon Peres-led
Labor party.
Early elections may be
what Shultz is hoping for. Our
Israel Correspondent Helen
Davis reports that "with the
Reagan administration runn-
ing out of time, the Secretary
of State may be prepared to
push Shamir into an early
election and gamble on get-
ting a more amenable, more
flexible Labor government."
But a gamble it is, because
polls show that Israelis are
extremely cautious about giv-
ing up territory for the pro-
spect of peace. According to
the Jewish Telegraphic Agen-
cy, three public opinion polls
indicate that Shamir's disap-
proval of the Shultz proposals
is gaining support. The polls
show Shamir's Likud, togeth-
er with its right-wing and
religious allies, taking votes
away from the moderate bloc
led by Peres. But the polls
also show that the rightist
alliance would fall short of a
majority and that the current
stalemate — a so-called unity
government made up of Likud
and Labor — may continue
after the electios.
Shultz began his five-nation
shuttle this week after
meeting with two prominent
American members of the
Palestine National Council,
the PLO's parliament in ex-
ile, against the strong com-
plaints of the Jerusalem
government. According to
Newsweek, U.S. officials have
been meeting with members
of the PLO for the last 15
years, in violation of an agree-
ment that Washington would
not deal with the PLO unless
it recognized Israel's right to
exist.
After meeting for several
hours in Jerusalem early this
week, Shultz and Shamir
sought to cast their discus-
sions in a positive light. An
American official said there
was "a sense of some move-
ment," but it was clear that
Shamir has not changed his
mind about opposing the
plan. In particular he has
voice apprehension about an
international conference and
he has not accepted the
guiding premise of exchang-
ing territory for the promise
of peace.
Shultz has made it clear
that he does not intend to
force Israel to the negotiating
table. "If Israel says 'no, we
won't go over Israel's head to
an international conference,"
Shultz told a group of Israeli
newspaper editors. "We are
too good friends for that."
Shultz's low-key method of
persuasion was evidenced
from his remarks on Israeli
television. He sought to
downplay the significance of
the international format,
asseting that the "heart" of
his initiative is in direct
negotiations between Israel
and a Jordanian-Palestinian
delegation. He also warned
that Israel may be missing an
historic opportunity for peace
if it did not move towards
negotiations with the Arabs.

directly to the people of Israel
by agreeing to be interviewed
on national television.
One Israeli official reported-
ly disappointed with Shultz's
non-confrontational stance is
Foreign Minister Peres, who
supports an international
conference and is said to have
told friends that Shultz let
him down by not forcing
Shamir to make a clear deci-
sion on the proposed peace
plan.
Shultz was scheduled to
visit Jordan, Syria, Saudi
Arabia and Egypt before
returning to Washington by
week's end.
His visit to Israel was
greeted by a general strike by
Palestinians in the territories
in protest of his visit, and a
50-foot statue of Yassir Arafat
across the road from his hotel.
Built by militant Jewish set-
tlers, the statue included
knives, grenades and skulls
hanging from the figure's
belt, and a sign that read,
"Welcome, George."
Violence continued this
week, following the bloodiest
weekend since the Palesti-
nian uprising began in
December. Two Palestinians
were shot to death last Friday
and six on Saturday in
clashes with the Israeli army
in the territories.
Haifa police arrested seven
Israeli Arabs suspected of
having stoned private cars,
and five members of Rabbi
Meir Kahane's Kach party
were arrested after attempt-
ing to enter the Israeli Arab
town of Umm el-Fahm.
