The big lie We have been advised that today's edition of The Daily Nebraskan, a student pewspaper at UNL, will carry an advertisebient questioning whether the Holocaust Did in fact occur. \ The advertisement, according to Univerpity sources, is being paid for by Columbus [>usine8snian William Curry. Aa described to the Jewish Press, the jjeadline of the advertisement is as follows: .'Can Holocaust Legend Bear Scrutiny?" I The timing of the advertisement coincides idth a two-day miniconference on the Holobaust to take place at UNL Nov. 3-4. I We believe that the acceptance of this type of advertisement reflects poor judgment on the part of the newspaper. i To allow somecme to say that the Holocaust did not occur violates all standards bf truth in advertising. I In fact, Thomas Johnson, presiding judge If the Los Angles Superior Court, settled I case by saying that Mel Mermelstein, a balifomia businessman, was entitled to an (qpology because the "Holocaust is a mat\iBr of history and sheer fact dictates that I Holocaust occurred."
Mr. Mermelstein also was awarded damages of $90,000 from the Liberty Lobby, the Institute for Historical Review, Willis and Elizabeth Carto, defendants in the case. One of the defendants, according to Mr. Mermelstein's attorney, Michael Morocco, refused to participate in the settlement and was sued for libel. Mr. Morocco said that Mr. Mermelstein was awarded a judgment of $6.25 million from Ditlied Filderer of Sweden, a director of the Institute for Historical Review. We only mention the court case as an interesting conclusion to a long list of attempts on the part of "revisionists" to rewrite history. What we are concerned about now is that The DaJly Nebraskan is allowing lies to be presented in the form of paid advertising. Anyone in his right mind knows full well that the evidence supporting the Holocaust is overwhebning and incontrovertible. To allow a fellow newspaper to present a big lie without reprimand would be wrong. If this ad, does in fact run, we seriously question the integrity of The Daily Nebraskan.

A public religious service for Christians and Jews will be held in Omaha in response to a papal invitation to pray iw peace.

Bond general chairman said, "When one sees what Israel has done over the last 38 years, we as Jews can be proud we helped with our Bond purchases." Mr. and Mrs. Trachtenbarg said they were pleased with the turnout and added, "If this is any indication of the dinner, this year should be one of the most successful in Omaha's history." MT^'. Trachtenbarg reminded everyone to send in their RSVP cards as soon as possible after they receive their invitation.
Nominations sought for leadership awards Nonunations are now being accepted by the Jewish Federation of O^aha for the Justin Greenberg and Lois Jeanne Schrager Young Leadership Awards. The awards, to be presented at the Federation's Annual Meeting on Jan. 11,1987, will honor a young man and a young woman who have demonstrated personal commitment, involvement and leadership in rendering service to the Jewish and general community. After his death in 1976, friends and family of Justin Greenberg established the Young Leadership Award as a tribute to his active role in community activities. It has been awarded annually since then. Founded in December, 1960, by Phil Schrager, the Lois Jeanne Schrager Memorial Fund has provided funds for col-
Chai/Grand Gifts division to host humorist Fran Lebowitz By Susan Paley Campaign Volunteer "Fran Lebowit2 ... is the funniest woman in America...," says the Washington Post. "An important humorist in the classic tradition. The satire is principled, the taste impeccably" atates-^tbe New York Times Book Review. Fran Lebowitz will be in Omaha on Nov. 20 as the highlight for the Chai/Grand Gifts luncheon. The event, sponsored by the Women's Division, will be held in the Cloud Room of the Peter Kiewit Plaza at noon. The author of two best selling books, MetropoliI tan Life and Social Studies, Fran Lebowitz is ranked by Time Magazine as one of l^e top female I authors in the country. Critics FranLebowitt feel that "the writing of her books is best viewed as a preparatory phase and that the art of conversation has been Lebowitz's lifetime work." "I'm naturally entertaining," says Ms. Lebowitz. "It's no effort for me to be funny in conversation. "It's an effort in writing." Vanity Fair magazine says, "Humorist Fran Lebowitz seems to fashion her career after Oscar Wilde's quip about putting talent into writing and saving genius for life." She has been compared with Erma Bombeck, Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde. Ms. Lebowitz was bom in 1951. "I was bom, brought up, and I live in New York," Ms. Lebowitz states. Before becoming a writer, she worked at a number of jobs including bulk mailing and taxi cab driving. She was also a columnist for Interview and Mademoiselle magazines. "I have always been in a state of rage, and I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't. I think it's the only logical response to life. I think of my writing as an organized and rarified form of the tantrum. My entire

LaRouche candidates ^
(Continued from Page I) received less than one-tenth of the voteto an informed electorate made aware of the true nature of the LaRouche-sponsored National Democratic Policy Committee (NDPC) in the aftermath of its startling victory in Illinois last spring. He pointed out that since the two LaRouchites' surprise victory in the Illinois DemocraXic primary nominations for Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State, "the media has given much coverage to the LaRouche cult's extremist and outlandish views. Its effect has been salutary for the purpose of an informed electorate." Perlmutter added, however, that although so many LaRouchite candidates have been rejected, the NDPC managed to register just enough gains "to create the appearance—basically a false one—that LaRouche and his followers are a political force of consequence." The ADL analysis noted that since Illinois, the LaRouchites were roundly defeated. They lost 6 gubernatorial candidacies out of 6 primaries entered; 14 out of 14 U.S. Senate primaries entered; 137 out of 144 contests for the U.S. House; 24 out of 27 State Senate primary races; and 32 out of 33 State House primary races. The ADL analysis, based on reports from

its regional offices around the country and prepared by the Fact Finding Department of the agency's Civil Rights Division, revealed the following: • NDPC candidates ran in Republican as well as Democratic primaries in 8 statesNew Hampshire, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, California and Oregon—indicating a trend toward more evenly dividing their forces between the major parties. • The LaRouche candidates benefitted in certain instances from low primary turnout, particularly in areas where the party in whose primary they ran was weak. • They fared far worse in primary races where they ran against well-known candidates. In Maryland's Democratic senatorial contest, for example, longtime LaRouche' activist Debra Freeman, running against Congressmen Michael Barnes and Barbara Mikulaki, received a mere one percent of the vote. • Although the LaRouche organization has long espoused anti-Semitic views, the candidates generally avoided opeply expressing them. The 7 Congressional nominations won were in uncontested Democratic primaries in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas (two of the 7 later dropped out).

Local leaders hail Nobel Peace laureate
Stephen R. Silberfarb, senior legislative assistant, The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) submitted the following article for consideration. While he points out that the views expressed in the article do not necessarily reflect the views of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, they accurately reflect the concerns of this newspaper's editor. SYRIAN TERROR ROLE REVEALED, NOW WE MUST ACT For years most observers have been convinced that Syria provides both diplomatic cover and physical sanctuary to : some of the world's infamous and sinister terrorists. The trial in Britain of Nezar Hindawi, the Syrian-recruited Jordanian national accused of planting explosives in the luggage of his pregnant fiance who was about to board an El Al flight to Israel last April, point to a more direct—and dangerous—Syrian role in the international terror network. Hindawi has confessed to British investigators that Syrian military intelligence agents supplied him with a Syrian passport, $12,000, a false-bottom bag containing explosives and trained him to arm the bomb. After the failed attempt, Hindawi reported he met with the Syrian ambassador at the embassy in London, who contacted Damascus for further instructions. Later, embassy officials took him to a safe house, where his hair was cut and dyed. The next morning, when two Syrian men arrived to return him to the embassy, Hindawi became frightened, arousing the suspicions of an alert desk clerk who called the police. The explosive-laden travel bag would have exploded at 39,000 feet above Austria, killing all 379 passengers aboard the Boeing 747 jet. Similarly, Syrian participation in the recent spate of terror attacks in France is slowly being revealed. Despite a French government that prefers to look the other way, intelligence sources indicate that Syria provided support to the group claiming responsibility for a series of terror bombings in Paris that claimed 10 Uves, Wounded more than 160, and'left Psirisians dazed and scared. Imagine for a moment that the bomb concealed on the El Al flight had detonated, killing everyone aboard. 220 of the passengers had boarded the plane in New York. With Syria's fingerprints clearly on the explosives bag could the United States be expected to respond in much the same way as it did after the Libyan-instigated Berlin disco attack? Why has Washington been so cautious to condemn Syria for the same acts for which it is attacking Libya? Admiiistration officials caution against even commenting, claiming this would constitute unwarranted interference in the ongoing trial of Hindawi. Period. There has been very little talk inside the beltway of American preparation for a . Libya-like strike against Syria or even formulating economic and/or diplomatic sanctions. The kid gloves approach to Syria detracts from the strength of America's action against Libya. Any failure to react similarly to Syrian-sponsored terrorism, which is jsut as deadly and arguably more extensive, allows the world to brand the U.S. a bully. We struck back with great resolve against a relatively weak Libya, but when faced with an equally wicked Syria we have backed off.

]lflir^(C(S)M iflgMs) By Estelle Rosenberg The Tifereth Israel Sisterhood social event of the year will be a Gala Mystery Evening, "Till Death Us Do Part,'' the wedding of Hamilton Porter and Melissa Morgan, to be held Sat., Nov. 1 at 8:30 p.m. at,the Tifereth Israel Synagogue. A reception will immediately follow the ceremony. The fee is $12.50 per person and everyone is requested to wear evening attire. The event is open to the community. Send your check as early as possible to Barb Seglin, 7900 Northshore Drive, Lincohi 68516, for your reservation.
Two members of Tifereth Israel Sisterhood have begun making visits to the congregants who are in the hospital and nursing homes. The visits which Esther RaeChesnin and Leelo Sommerhauser have been making are consistent with the Jewish view that it is a mitzvah to visit the sick. Hopefully, others within the congregation will follow Sisterhood's lead in performing this important mitzvah. .

To the Editor. As a parent of a 5th grader and 8th grader I have always been interested in the programming for this age group at the "J". This past year, except for a couple of notable exceptions by Chuck Arnold, there has been very little programming of both interest and quality for these kids. Now because of Chuck and Sara Jaffe, the new youth director, there are good, quality activities being offered for these kids. For example, a Monday night specifically designed for Junior High kids is planned which will involve volleyball, basketball and other sporting events. Chuck has also sponsored a trip to Lincoln to visit the Devaney Sports Complex and the press box at the stadium. Sara has planned numerous events for Club 34, Club 56 and Club 87 and initiated a series of informal dinners with these kids in order to get them to participate in the decision making of what activities to offer. Finally, wonderful things are happening at the "J" to involve our kids with other Jewish kids and in doing so to help our children continue with their Jewish identity. The funny thing, however, is that So few children are signing up for these programs. Parents have complained for ages about the lack of these programs and now that they are available they are not influencing their kids to go to them. Now I realize that kids can't be forced to do anything, but they can be encouraged and cajoled to do something with the carrot at the end of the stick being the fact that they could have fun and make new friends or renew old acquaintances. Excuses such as homework, "boredom" with the "J," etc., really are rather lame. Now is the time to back our professionals and let them know that they are doing a great job. Let's help our kids to get involved now so that when they are teenagers we won't be bemoaning the fact that they don't "feel Jewish" or don't "run with Jewish kids." Now is the time to quit complaining and to become positively involved by encouraging our children to be involved. Susie Silverman

Next meeting, Oct. 28, two days after Sinichat Torah, which should put us in the proper mood. Ex-president, Morrie Katz moderated at the Oct. 14 earlybirds. His subject was, mainly, humor. His notes usually sufficed, even though he could fall back on the "Jewish Quiz Book." The jokes came fast and furious, from Morrie and from the floor, trom jokes from comic Mel Brooks to questions often asked the rabbis, which our rabbis were hard pressed to answer. To a really delicious luncheon, Motzi by Sam Shyken, Benschen by Harry Schulman. President, Gerald Bernstein opened the proceedings by reminding us that it was the beginning of the New Year, and he thanked the servers. We sang for the birthday boys and President Bernstein reminded us of the Nov. 9, JWV Latka party at the J. He also annoimced flu shots

Dr. Issenberg has been at it for over 16 years, and today he lectured and presented slides on cancer research, prevention and treatment of cancer victims. Dr. Issenberg answered in layman's language questions from the floor. He certainly commanded our attention, more so than any other speaker.
