The New Weapon The recent statement of the PLO Central Council pledging a "continuation" of the so called "armed struggle" and rejecting security council resolution 242 comes almost five years to the day after the brutal murder of Israel's athletes at the Munich Olympic Games. They have been five years in which little has changed. International terror against civilians has not ceased. The determination of the Jewish people to fight it and to stand firm against all designs for the erasure of their sovereign and independent existence has not diminished. The massacre at Munich in which the Arab world cast a dark shadow over the ancient spirit of the Olympic tradition was not, however, a single act of mindless brutalization. As part of a planned and systematic campaign to bring a country to its knees it was only one link in a long chain of genocidal acts: The killing of 47 innocents in the Swissair disaster, the murder of 26 pilgrims at Lod Airport, the gunning down of 24 children at Maalot: More than a thousand acts. The lurid light of the torch which the PLO lit at Munich has not been quenched. Rather has it grown in intensity rather has it become a blinding and clearly focused ray of hatredj and evil design. ' Today the impact of that design has taken on a new and added force. We see it not only in the cruel acts of terror perpetrated, but in the arrogance with which attempted mediation is rejected as "American and Zionist intrigue." We see it in the perverted use of terms which bestow a form of Satanic legality: "Rights" "Homeland" "Return" "Occupied Palestine". The Arab world, long dazzled by the mesmeric powers of its own language has now discovered the power of the .word in Western Civilization. The emotive terminology designed to produce the sympathetic reaction has now become the new weapon of Arab intentions.
Israel's Dozen Major Problems HAIFA - At this Yom Kippur season, when Jews individually and collectively take spiritual stock, we each year in this corner review the twelve major problems which (ace Israel in the year ahead. Some problems are constant; some make the list one year, to be replaced by another the following year. Some, move higher on the list,- some move down from one Yom Klppur to the next It is encouraging to report that through the years some problems, which at the time seemed critical, have actually disappeared from the horizon. With this note of encouragement let us review Israel's principal headaches in the next twelve months: 1. Peace in the Middle East. Whatever else may be on the agenda, this remains Israel's primary goal and foremost aspiration. There has been much talk and considerable maneuvering. Has It brought a real and lasting peace any closer? That's the problem. 2. Economic Crisis. This remains the most insidious internal threat to Israel's survival. After 29 years of tightly controlled economy from a Socialist point of view, Israel will for the first time experience an attempt at implementation of more conservative, right wing, capitalist policies. Will It help? 3. Military Security. Wellequipped, w e l l - t r a i n e d
defense forces, and a constant state. of vigilant alert are necessary if Israel Is to serve notice on the Arabs that war is not worth their while, but if started, will end in Israel victory. . 4. Labor Opposition. The Begin government will undoubtedly face a head-on confrontation with the Hlstadrut, which has warned it will not give up labor's hard-earned benefits and will not agree to compulsory arbitration even in the most essential national services, no matter what. The right to strike remains holy. 5. The West Bank. The previous government, under Rabin and Allon, had established numerous Jewish settlements on the West Bank, along the Jordan River, but the move to place more such settlements in the very midst of, Arab population centers Is not going to take place without reaction, local and international. 6. Religious Influence. Adherence of the religious bloc to the Begin government has placed the religionists in a position to press for greater influence and control in sensitive public areas. The secular elements have not been slow to express vigorous dissent. 7. Public Morality. The past year was marked by new
revelations of corruption and appearance In its ugliest malfeasance in high places. forms of crude violence. This Israel must fight the moral rot is a threat which should be which has made its ap- faced forthrlghtly and unashamedly. pearance in public life. 8. Social issues. Economic 11. Water.

Will the Influx of Drake students further strengthen the group? Drake students already have a center at 2932 University. Graduate students, however, may find the new group more attractive than mixing with undergraduates. Undergraduate participation in the singles group rejnalns an open question. "We don't want to compete with them," Myra explained, referring to the center. For one thing, the new group' is purely social m nature. "We're not going to be doing anything religious," Myra added. . For many people, this is the first chance- to meet other young Jews. For others, it is a chance to see friends for the first time since high school.

She then got up and argued that the critical period is after college, not during high school. The rabbi was not convinced. After the exchange Ann Badower, another Des Moines delegate, told Mrs. Spiro, "OK, it's up to you." Several months later, the idea has become reality. So far, the Des Moines Jewish singles group (someone once suggested jokingly that it be known as a "Lonely Hearts Club") has organized a plcnlc-kegger, volleyball games, a" pre-Sabbath "Happy Hour,'' and a wine and cheese
