  The magnetic dipole strength and energy-weighted strength distribution is
calculated in $^8\mbox{Be}$, as well as the separate orbit and spin parts. All
$\Delta N$=$2$ excitations over and above (and including) the configuration
$0s^4$$0p^4$ are included. The interaction has a central, two-body spin-orbit
and a tensor part. The energy- independent and energy-weighted {\underline
orbital} strength distribution is remarkably insensitive to the presence or
absence of the spin-orbit or tensor interaction -not so the spin strength. The
energy-weighted strength distribution can be divided into a low enegy and a
high energy part. The high energy orbital part is somewhat less but close to
the low energy part, in fair agreement with a prediction that they be equal by
de Guerra and Zamick and by Nojarov. There is a wide plateau separating the low
energy part from the high energy part.
