"Some of the men in this division have not yet been made aware of their responsibilities," he said. "It is our hope that we can alert them, not only to ths tremendous needs, but also to the burden of their responsibilities as leaders of the community. While we cannot dictate amounts, we vill appeal to the conscience of every man in this division to give as generously as possible to the campaign this year, which may prove to be the most important in the history of our people "

Still another was the- complete lack of sex education teaching guides for yeshiva educators. In addition, some boards of y e s h i v a day schools object to any sex education in the curriculum.
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)-A United Nations report placed on Eftypt this week the blame for the J a n u a r y 30 artillery exrhnni'p lietween I s r a e l and Egyptian forces on the Suez Canal. Tlie report, issued by Secretary General V Tbant, in effect substantiated I s r a e l i charges that the Egyptian effort to send survey boats into the canal's northern sector was undertaken in full knowledge of the fact that Israel had refused to agree to such operations there and despite last minute warnings on I s r a e l ' s position which were transmitted to E g y p t on the morning of the clash by Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, the UN cease-fire observation chief. The goal of the survey was to prepare the way to clear the- southern end of the canal for the exit of 15 foreign merchant vessels trapped in the canal since the June war. Israel had agreed to the survey in the southern r.eetor.

Tlie UN report said Israeli firmness made it necessary for the UN Truce Supervision Organization to warn Egypt that trouble was likely if the survey boats moved northward, a warning Gen.

The rabbis issued their protest' in thi! form of an open letter published as an advertisement m the Jewi.-ih prer.s. The Mj/nalories included one Itefnrm and ::ix Conservative rabbis. The letter charged that the Y bad announced its policy of remainin;; open on the'Sabbath unilaterally without consulting rabbinical authorities although a discussion of the problem with a committee of rabbis representing all M'f'nients of the community was in progress. The letter charged f u r t li e r that the Toronto Y "in its cultural and social programs . . . has progressively reduced the Jewish element, moving f ti r t b e r and further away from identification with Judaism. The rabbis complained also that the Y's .snack bar 1does not observe Die dietary law. ;. "Our recent informal discussions with the YMHA officers and administration leads us to believe that they are sensitive to the feelings of the total community," the letter said. "Therefore we urge the Jewish community to bring to bear its influence on the YMHA."
Knesset Debates iilitary Exemption Of Yeshiva Students JERUSALEM 'JTAl -- Demands to end the exemption o{ yeshiva students from the military draft snowballed in the Knesset this week and were the subject of serious debate among the coalition parties, including the religious bloc.

The secretariat of the religious kibbutzim affiliated with the National Religious Party meanwhile supported the proposal to end the draft exemption.

The UN report also supported Israel's'stand that Egyptian dispatch of boats from'Lake Tinisah into the northern part of the c'inni was a clear violation of the Egyptian-Israeli ceasefire agreement on non-use by either nation of the canal. The Secretary General also indicated a belief that the 15 ships may be stranded in the canal indefinitely because of the fighting and that future possibilities of clearing the waterway ''are in serious doubt." Al Ahram, the authoritative C a i r o newspaper, said Egypt would not free the trapped snips until tlie Middle East, crisis was settled and thnt, ps far as Egypt was concerned, such salvage operations were finished.

No Change in Soviet Attitude On Issue of Jewish Emigration London <JTA)—Prims Minister Harold Wilson indicated that he had taken up with Premier Kosygin and other Soviet leaders, during his visit to Moscow last month, the question of emigration of Russian Jews to Israel and that he had received a negative response. The Prime Minister disclosed this phase of his Soviet talks in a letter to Sir Burnett Janner, a member of Parliament and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Mr. Wilson wrote to Sir Barnett in response to a letter from the Jewish leader.

axe* New York (JTA)—The Jewish Reconstructionist F o u n d ation has completed a survey of 1:17 Reform and Conservative rabbis which indicates that no consistent policy is followed—and considerable confusion exists--in determining the r e l i g i o u s status of children of J e w i s h mixed marriages in which the mother is non-Jewish. The survey, winch is the .subject of an article in the current issue of the "Reconstructionist," was prompted by recent disclosures that from 12 to 20 percent of Jews in different parts of the United States engaged in mixed marriages and that in about 70 percent of such cases, the male marriage partner is the Jew. According to traditional Jewish law, the children of (he.se inurri.ijjes are not considered Jewish. They are usually informed of the fact at the time of their Bar Mitzvah or confirmation and 'such revelations can have tragic and emotionally d i s t u r bing consequences," the Reconstructionist said. Rabbis Differ According to its survey, prepared by Benjamin William Melman, a New York attorney, a majority of the Conservative rabbis responding insisted that these children undergo conver-

But a third of the Conservative rabbis made no such demand and insisted only that the children be given a Jewish education and that the parents be affiliated with a synagogue. The overwhelming percentage of Reform rabbis agreed with the latter procedure and required that the children be educated in a religious school and undergo a Bar Mitzvah or confirmation ceremony. The survey disclosed t h a t a "significant number" of children of mixed marriages attended Jewish religious schools and that a majority of the mothers of these children had converted to Judaism before marriage.

NEW YORK (JTA)-The New York Roard of Rabbis went on record this week as recognizing President Johnson's a r d u o u s task" in seeking an honorable peace in Viet Nam and commended the Government "for continuing to call North Viet Nam to the conference table." The (17th annual meeting of the Board, which includes 900 Orthodox, Conservative and Reform rabbis, urged the President "to explore every possibility—no matter how faint" and to redouble iiis efforts" to seek peace and pursue it." At the same time, the Board, recognizing the right of dissent, appealed to those "who have taken issue only with our government's Viet Nam policy, to direct their pleas to Hanoi and its allies to respond to the U.S. request for a peaos conference."

Consternation reigned in Israel. Obviously people in this country had been talking too much and too freely. The hnn followed. Several papers were prosecuted for publishing news in violation of the news embargo, and thereafter a tight lid was clamped on the subject.

It became clear that the Government would enforce the ban only on information about migrants from Eastern Europe and certain other lands. News reports and even statistics on newcomers from elsewhere were freely published. In 1!)C(! Russian Premier Kosygin, speaking in Paris, declared the Soviet Union would have no objection to emigration of Jews from Russia if they wished to be reunited with members of their family abroad. The hint was taken. In the months that followed the Israel press cautiously began to publish cryptic statements. Immigrant arrivals were reported as being in the category of the "Family Reunion project." No country was ever named, but the euphemism was generally understood.

Chancellor K i e s i n g e r admitted to the B'nai H'rith leaders that his Government was "as much concerned as anybody el.se" with the radical right wing in Germany. Not, he explained, because they iear the rightists can harm democracy in Germany but because of the damage their activities inflict on Germany's image abroad. According to the Chancellor, the radical right in Germany is no stronger than it is in mho? countries, though it is more significant in view of Germany's past history. But barring a major crisis, he didn't t h i n k it could do any harm. As for efforts to ban the NPD, the Chancellor said that the Government would not file a petition in the Constitutional High Court unless it was certain that the court agreed that the party is anti-democratic. The court might be prompted to such a ..conclusion, he said, if the NPD demonstrated overt anti-Semitism because, lor the German people, Nazis- m and anti-Semitism are synonoinous. In that case, the court and tho German people would have sufficient grounds to outlaw the NPD. But the C h a n c e l l o r thought that the best way to counter it-was- to build a healthy democratic society. I'lianswcroil Questions The Chancellor's talk with Dr. Wexler and Mr. Edelsberg, however reassuring, left some questions unanswered. For example, which polls did the Chancellor refer to as .showing a majority ol the German people to lavor continuation of war crimes trials and to be opposed to the statute of limitations? Who gave the Chancellor this information? And why has the Minister of Justice encountered so many obstacles in getting a clear decision against the .statute? The Chancellor himself conceded that a right-wing party could achieve power in Germany in the event of a major economic crisis. Obviously, no radical political movement can flourish in times of prosperity when a majority of the people are interested in maintaining the status quo. But wlisit if nn economic crisis should occur in Germany? Should we expect a reversion to the right? The fact is that, according to polls, Von Thadden's NPD commands ten percent of the German vote, now, in the midst of prosperity. Hitler did not have that much support when he started out, in the depths of a depression.

By Mickey Gerelick In a lengthy front page .'.lory recently, the National .1 e w i s h Post uml Opinion reported the raid of the Stony Brook Campus of State University in Long Island. New York, in which Xi .students were arrested in a massive narcotics seizure. According to the report, 'most of the arrested had J e w i s li sounding names." In addition to the sensationalism of (lie II'.'H'K item, a number of interesting questions were raised by the report of t!i<- iaiii. Questions concerning responsibility—of students, newspapers, parents, university administrators <•!<•. which I think inij;lil well be considered by all of us. The P & O reports that Rabbi Elliot Spar, head of the University's llillel Foundation, was "deeply concerned, but not surprised by the events."' Rnbbi Spar admitted knowing of the wide-scale traffic by students in drugs. Since the raid he reported that some 50 p.'irents telephoned him in great anguish, with some 110 conferring with him until all hours of the night. "Mostly the students indulge in marijuana which they consider in a class with alcohol—like a cocktail, and some parents see it in the same way," said Rabbi Spar. "With some it leads to more dangerous drugs on this campus," lie added. To what did Knblil Spar attribute this condition? Did the parents ever consult him on the mallet prior to the police action? What was his advice? "I attribute it to lack of values in the home; to the lack of parental interest or communication with the child." Rabbi Spar candidly puts the blame on parents. "Academic pressuring for higher marks; lavishing luxury to compensate for interest; priority concern for personal status; relegating the student to just an expense on the budget. Thin is the. recipe that makes ft child of a good home become involved in.narcotics or sex," said the Rabbi, (A substantial number of out-of-wedlock pregnancies have come to Rabbi Spar's attention too.) lie absolved the University from any blame. He doesn't believe that the police action will halt the situation, only suspend it temporarily. As to removing the student from the campus, "That's not the answer," lie says. Student View A view of the problem from an non-involved student in his junior year was given by Mitchell Blazer, treasurer of Urn Hillel Foundation. He estimates that about a third of the Jewish students which make up about 75 Jiercent of the student body, daly with drugs. Most lightly; others heavily. 'It starts out to be social, but can lead to the harder narcotics. Some dorms have constant parties of it going on" Mitchell said. The student body doesn't consider the activity "out of bounds" and are very annoyed with the Police involvement and heavy press coverage. Mitchell concedes, that Stony Brooks College has more drug traffic than any other campus in the area. This he b 1 a in e s h e a v i l y on the University's "more than liberal attitude," not enly in drugs, but in sex. Sex "Drugs are openly enjoyed in recreation halls and the sleeping together of boys and girls in the dormitories is not u i m s u a I . " While it is not sactioned, he explained, no heavy reprimands result and on a whol': the private lives of the students are pretty

imicli left to themselves. Officially, Fridays and Saturdays the 'dorms' are permitted open till I a.m. and this is scheduled to be revamped next term to include every night of the week. Mitchell disclosed. Mitchell, contrary to Rabbi Spar, believes the University should be branded "guilty" for being permissiven—not the .students for taking advantage of the liberal policies.

It's a sad story for the people in Long Island, but there's no guarantee that it couldn't happen to our children in whatever college they may be. Who's at fault? The parents? The lux administration of the University? What should lie done—get them all married as Itabbi Singer suggests? How about newspaper responsibility —should names be printed or not? I have strong feelings about some of these <|ucstions—' hut I'll wait for your reactions first.

Bob Hifkin was pretty well contained during tile first half but the second period proved to be a different story sr. the AZA. 1 team started finding him as he pumped in 18 points from underneath and Gary Rifkin hit for nine from outside, Skip Rosenstock led the losers with 12 and Nate Beber hit for 9. AZA 1 pulled the game out of the fire in the final minutes with a .'i!)-32 victory. * * * ' i l " LEAGUE STANDINGS W. L.
