Mr. Newman noted that the initial report covers only six cards of the thousands of pledge cards to be covered before the campaign ends. "But the results of the first six cards are certainly very encouraging," said Mr. Newman.

"The total pledges of these six cards for the 1969 campaign amount to $213,000," Mr. Newman reported. "These same six cards accounted for $143,000 in last year's campaign nnd'$129,000 in 1907. If all Omaha Jews will respond with this same percentage of increase this year, our campaign will go well over the 91,000,000 goal we have set for ourselves," said Mr. Newman. • ..

THE JEWISH FRESS

Why Jewish College Students lurn Off

* By Ronald Wolfson Editor's Note: Ronald Wolfson ,son of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Wolfsoh, was one of the student leaders participating in the Hillel Student-'Establishment.'Confrontation i last week—endi-<Se«-story r page-7.)-The following execerpts are from a paper delivered by Ronnie at the Conference.

•

I am a 19 year old Jew, committed to my religion's ethical and moral teachings. I am a second year university student at a private mid western school with an enrollment of 4,000 undergraduates, of which approximately 1,300 are Jewish.

What I relate here is what I observe to be the feelings of the majority of my fellow Jewish college students. Of course, there are on most campuses, pockets of young Jews committed to their faith through their traditional institutions.

The views I express here, however, are primarily those of the "unattached" Jews on campus.

Jewlshness Let us examine the typical Jewish college student's "Jewishness." His identity and commitment are minimal. Most -Jewish students will admit to being Jewish, but any serious religious t r a i n i n g past Bar Mitzvah is uncommon for most college students.

- On a social level, most of my contemporaries b e l o n g e d to youth groups of one leaning or another during high school, but the end result' was purely social entertainment in a predominantly Jewish atmosphere.

Interdating was tabu for some, but only because of the one great parental pressure, "Do anything you want, as long as yon marry a nice Jewish girl!" (i.e. one born of a Jewish mother, no other qualifications are necessary.)

The college student's "Jewlshness," or rather his lack of It, cannot be blamed on him.

It Is the environment and religious associations he bad before college that molded him.

Jewish parents must be held responsible for the status of the complacent, apathetic, "turned off" and "tuned out" Jew on campus.

It is indeed frightening to note that in St. Louis, Missouri - where I attend college, over 50 per cent of the Jewish families in the greater metropolitan. area are not affiliated with a religious institution. For these families, membership in the local Jewish Community Center or the Jewish Country Clnb

AMemorium It is;with a great sense of loss that, Israel and Jews everywhere-brought to rest, just a few short days ago, one of our greatest modern day heroes.

Following in the- footsteps of our ancient leaders, Levi Eshkol epitomized.the meaning of Jewishness. He was a forceful but compassionate man, a leader for Israel and her fight for political freedom and a figure to look up to by Jews everywhere.

Although his u n t i m e l y death has brought sadness to all of us and his absence will leave a void in all of us, it iis with a great sehse of exaltation that what he lived for aria what he died for will not go undone—will not have been in vain. . i •

This, is quite evident by the turnout every noon in the Center gymnasium, It wasn't so long ago an individual wanting to run on the track would first have to sweep the cobwebs away. Now, there are so many men on the track jogging at noon it resembles the 5:00 p.ni. rush hour traffic.

The* noon time volleyball games not so long ago had difficulty scraping up e n o u g h players. Now you have to. arrive early to assure yourself a position on a team.

MIDGET LEAGUE The final-games of the season THTfie^QTanOnr Grade" L e a g u e were enjoyable for some teams," and quite disappointing for others. Going into last Sunday the league was in a three way tie for first place, shared by H, A. Wolf, Mayfair Textile, and I-Go-Van. A playoff game for the following Sunday seemed inevitable. Mayfair was scheduled to p l a y Tretiak's, a slow s t a r t i n g team, but capable of defeating anyone as the season came to a close. Unfortunately for I-Go and H. A. Wolf, Tretiak's forfeited giving Mayfair a sure tie for first p l a c e . The big game was now between I-Go and H. A. Wolf, the winner going into a championship playoff game with Mayfair.

The contest was everything a game should have been. This was it; this one game would decide almost the entire season for both teams. And so the stage was set. H. A. Wolf jumped out to an early'lead, leading 12 to 7 at the end of the first quarter. Never losing their poise I-Go came back strong in the second quarter to go ahead 15 to 13. The third quarter saw both teams hit a cold spell; h o w e v e r , I-Go picked up two more points on H. A. Wolf..

The score at the beginning of the fourth quarter was 21 to 17 in favor of I-Go. At one time in the fourth quarter I-Go went ahead by six points, but with about two minutes left in the game H. A. Wolf tied the score at 26 all. So here, after hours of practice, and many Sunday afternoon games, the w h o l e season for both teams was to be decided in two minutes. A costly three second violation and a stolen pass was the bad news for H. A. Wolf. I-Go cashed in on the mistakes, and held on to a 30 to 27 victory, H. A. Wolf. Coming on very Impressively down the home stretch, Bruce Rips a g a i n played superbly for I-Go. Grabbing some decisive rebounds' and putting them right back up to the basket for important points, he broke the backs of the H. A. Wolf team. Barry, Summers contributed 14 points
