Samuel. Croll, bond , chairman of
Hadassah, to purchase her bond.
Education Month Chairman Issues
Call for Youth School Enrollment
Lawrence W. Crohn, chairman
of the Education Month now
being observed jointly by com-
munity and congregational
schools, has issued a call to par-
ents to enroll their children in
one of the local schools.
Initiated by the United He-
brew Schools, the current Edu-
ca Month is being conducted
with the cooperation of the Yes-
hivah, t h e Farband Schools,
Workmen's Circle Schools; reli-
gious schools of Shaarey Zedek,
Bnai Moshe, Temple Israel; and
numerous community m o v e-
ments, including t h e Jewish
Community Council.
. In his call to parents, Mr.
Crohn declares:
"You, as a devoted parent,
want to share with your child
all that is yours, both physical
and spiritual. You want to pro-
vide him with the basis for a
happy, rich and balanced life,
a life in which he may have
the joys of all that is good and
healthful.
"As Jews, we have much to
contribute to the emotional and
mental well-being of our chil-
dren. A golden h e r i t a g e,
amassed in 3,000 years of Jew-
ish creativeness, is a powerful
asset to be passed on to our
children. Jewish religion, cus-
toms and folk ways can be a
source of life-long satisfaction.
The absence of these in our
homes must leave a vacuum, too
often filled by sentiments of
self-revulsion and distaste. Only
positive attitudes can fit our
children for the varied experi-
ences they will surely face.
"Therefore, through the Jew-
ish education which you pro-
vide for your child, you will link
him with the richest spiritual
treasures of mankind, with the
ethical and moral foundations
of democracy and with a reli-
gious culture which has en-
nobled human society. To pass
the heritage on to your child
is to give him strength to meet
life's problems, to enlarge his
ability to see life in full per-
spective and to enjoy and em-
ploy its wonders.
"Every parent has this car-
dinal duty of giving his children
a Jewish education. The means
are at hand — who will deny
children their birthright? En-
roll your child in a Jewish
school "

But Luncheon Friday Is Successful
Brandeis Gets Off to Slow Start
As Wayne Wins Grid Clash, 34-6
and the Brandeis team for the
contribution they are making to
college life in America with the
first Jewish-sponsored non-sec-
tarian institution.
Bennie Friedman, who was
making a homecoming appear-
ance in Detroit where he lived
for several years following his
selection as • all -American
quarterback when he played at
the University of Michigan,
received a tremendous ovation,
Dr. Sachar, who has appeared
in Detroit on numerous occasions
previously, outlined the progress
made at Brandeis in the last
three years.
He said he thought it amazing
that Bennie Friedman had ac-
cepted the job of athletic direc-
tor when the school was formed.
"We had nothing to offer him
but the hope of a promising fu-
ture. We had no athletic field, no
stadium and very little in the
way of athletic facilities. Today,
we have an athletic field with
seating capacity for nearly 10,-
000," Dr. Sather stated, and a
good recreational program."
Brandeis was built on hopes
for the future from its inception,
Dr. Sachar stressed. "When we
wanted a professor of history, of
English literature, of arts and
sciences, we refused to sacrifice ,
quality and we now have the
best teaching staff obtainable,"
he added.
He told the story of the sign-
ing of Leonard Bernstein to di-
rect the lausical program of the
school, how Dr. Sacher was ap-
proached shortly afterward by a
wealthy television m a n from
Boston Who wanted to know if
Bernstein was really to super-
vise music at Brandeis.
When Dr. Sacher told him it
was so, the television mag-
nate asked what facilities
Brandeis had for a man of
Bernstein's stature. When told
"none", the Boston manufac-
ture said he would have a
shell built for concerts. Now,
a- miniature Tanglewood is not
an impossibility.
Those who attended the
luncheon were told of Brandeis'
$800,000 yearly operating expen-
ses, which it is hoped will be de-
frayed by the contribution of $100
each by 8,000 individuals who

When Brandeis University's
football team took the field
against Wayne University Satur-
day at the U of D stadium the
spirit was there, but Bennie
Friedman's boys, in their first
taste of rugged varsity compe-
tition, were beaten by Wayne,
34-6.
Completely outplayed in the
first half of the game, t h e
Judges came back strong in the
second half to hold Wayne
scoreless and score their only
touchdown, which came in the
final period on a 20 yard pass
from Alan Rubenstein to Sidney
Goldfader.
Typical of the spirit of the
Brandeis team was Goldfader,
who played the full game with a
jaw guard protecting an injury
that required 16 stitches.
Brandeis had previously won
games from Hofstra, 24 -
from American, 25-', while
dropping the opener to New
Hampshire, 33-20. While this
was Wayne's first win, it is no
discredit to the Brandeis team,
since Wayne is this year play-
ing the toughest schedule in
its history. Two Wayne losses
to Bradley and Louisville were
both heartbreakers.
Bennie Friedman's boys did
better the day before the game
when they were introduced at a
luncheon in honor of the team,
Coach Friedman and Dr. Abram
Sachar, president of the three-
year-old Jewish non - sectarian
institution at Waltham, Mass.
The luncheon was given by
Detroit Chapter, Brandeis Uni-
versity Associates, a foster
alumni group formed to support
the university and its program.
Nate S. Shapero served as gen-
eral chairman, and was assisted
by co-chairmen, Sidney J. Allen,
Robert J. Newman and Leonard
N. Simons. Over 300 prominent
members of the community were
listed as the sponsoring commit-
tee.
Shapero as toastmaster, paid
tribute to Dr. Sachar, Friedman
