Cirnwc® STAYING AHEAD page 7 CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK from the former Soviet Union. American Jews, it can be ar- gued, have always lagged be- hind when it comes to understanding Israeli life. Many of us still think of Israelis sitting around the campfire at night singing folk tunes and dancing the hora rather than hitting the raucous downtown nightspots of metropolitan Tel Aviv and dancing to the latest rock music. 1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO TOURING COUPE 36 MOM LEASE r '499 MONTH PLUS TAX GMAC Luxury SmartLease Stk #609985 MINN MEM =IN =1111 MINN =MI 11=1 MIN MINN MINN THINK SPRING SPECIAL LIMITED TIME OFFER!

Ca/557-1000 Ask For Mr. Michaels Agency Director Visits Israel Jerusalem (JTA) — UNESCO, the cultural and scientific arm of the United Nations, has dropped its tra- ditional bias against Israel and wants to improve rela- tions with Jerusalem, the agency's director general said on an official visit here. Federico Mayor, the Spanish head of the United Nations Educational, Scien- tific and Cultural Organiza- tion, told reporters the organization has moved past "its politicization and mismanagement." He said Israel "benefits from its participation" in UNESCO, and UNESCO "benefits from experts" from Israel. "I would like to further improve this cooperation," said Mr. Mayor. The UNESCO director praised Israel for remaining with the agency during "difficult times"• and for helping to reform the agency from within. For years UNESCO passed anti-Israel resolutions. The agency also protested ar- chaeological digs in eastern Jerusalem because of Israel's annexation of the formerly Arab half of the city. Until now, any cooperation that has occurred between Israel and UNESCO has been given a low profile. But with Mr. Mayor's visit, it appears cooperation will increase. UNESCO is now interested in offering scholarships to promote visits here by Arab scientists wishing to study Israel's en- gineering, environmental and medical research, Mr. Mayor said. He said UNESCO also would continue to promote Israeli- Palestinian peace through workshops and con- ferences. Mr. Mayor indicated it was time the United States reconsider its decision to suspend its membership in the organization. The United States had con- tributed a quarter of UNESCO's budget until 1985. Teacher Strike In Israel Tel Aviv (JTA) — A nation- wide teachers strike closed down the country's junior and senior high schools, ju- nior colleges and teachers seminaries last week. Teachers began their pro- test at the beginning of the week, when they forced classes to begin an hour late. Later in the week, teachers came to school two hours late. Education Minister Shulamit Aloni said she shares the teachers' disgust at delays in the Finance Ministry's review of the situation, but that she is powerless to help since the Treasury controls the purse strings. The pay dispute goes back several years, with teachers complaining that their salaries have eroded more than those of other govern- ment employees. The timing of the teachers' nearly annual strikes has become almost traditional — in the period when students are preparing to take final exams and university en- trance exams. During this period, teachers are supposed to be helping students make final reviews of test material. Ms. Aloni said that however much she sym- pathizes with the teachers, she cannot agree to their disruption of the educational system.
