They said that they leamed a lot on this trip, and that the “hospitality was remarkable.” They were fascinated by the awareness of Icelanders and their history in the province. They said also that they were surprised to see over- head projectors and chalk boards at the university. At Bifröst all students have lap- tops in front of them in class. They were also interested in the dififerences between the programs in the two countries. Three of the students said that they were planning on doing their MBA following graduation this spring, and said that they would seriously consider applying to the University of Manitoba. They were impressed by the cost of doing things here, in compari- son to Iceland. The students said they had “a great experience,” and that they “wouldn’t mind doing it all over again.” The person in charge of organizing this very success- ful event was Corinne Suchy, who at one time worked with the L-H, and is a fourth year student in the Business Faculty at the University of Manitoba. She worked with a council of ten people to organ- ize the whole afifair which is sponsored by I. H. Asper School of Business students at the University of Manitoba. MIMC has three key ele- ments: a computer simulation conducted over the Internet, a strategy statement, and pre- sentations.

After it was evident that Ingibjörg Sólrún, who holds the fifth seat in one of the two Reykjavík constituencies, would run as a candidate, discussions within the party as to how to organize her introduction into the political system of the coun- try began. The possibility of moving Ingibjörg's seat higher than the fifth on the list has been dis- cussed, bút it seems that it has been decided against, accord- ing to the informant for the Morgunblað. For this to be pos- Minnist RDTUI ISI5 1 tÍ/L f ERFÐASKRÁM YÐAR sible everyone on the list would have to agree to the change. Look to Norway The leaders of Samfylkingin have looked to the other Nordic counhies for a solution to this problem. A previous case was found in Norway, whej-e one man lead the elections while another lead the party. An example of this is when Jens Stoltenberg was a candi- date for Premier for the Norse Labour Party in the 2001 elec- tions and not Torbjpm Jagland, the leader of the party. According to this idea, Ingibjörg would be the political spokesperson for the party dur- ing the elections while Össur Skarhéðinsson would concen- trate on the inside work of the party, and even lead discus- sions conceming the formation of the cabinet. The matter has not been discussed within Samfylkingin, but a desire to make a final decision soon is evident. Information from Morgunblaðið, Á. H. Champagne on a beer budget? ÆGreat,.
