They must spend the first year of the program in the Law School and complete all re- quirements for the MBA, but law courses may count for up to six elective credits toward that degree. Either five or six years will be permitted to complete degree requirements.

The first MBAs will be award- ed in two years to those who en- roll this fall and successfully complete the program. Candidates whose academ- ic background is not in business administration will be accept- ed. The GMAT examination, a widely-accepted graduate stu- dent evaluation test, will be used to select MBA candidates. ISRAEL has announced plans to sell 51 percent of El Al, its na- tional airline, in public stock of- ferings at home and abroad. The sale will take place after the carrier is taken out of a 13-year receivership in October. Transportation Minister Yis- rael Kessar said Israel will keep a "golden share" in El Al. That is a single share which has veto power in stockholder elections. The Israel government's priva- tization committee will decide what will happen with the re- maining 49 percent of the airline.
