cently passed the proficiency test given by Hebrew University in

Four students in the Midrasha,
college of Jewish studies, oper-
ated by the United Hebrew
Schools, have been informed that
they have passed the proficiency
test given by the Hebrew Uni-
versity and the World Union for
Jewish Education.
The four are Janet Olender

and Daniel Elazar. The test i s
given in this country by th e
American Association for Jewis'
Education and the Nationa e I
Council for Jewish Education.
To be eligible to take the test,
these students had to have a
diversified background in He-
brew language and literature,
Bible, Jewish philosophy and
history and development of the
prayer book, Mishna and Tal-

Upon passage of these tests,
the students are now members
of a world wide association of
students who are proficient in

the Hebrew language and allied
studies.
The community will be invited
to join in celebrating their suc-
cess at a later date when official

DON'T LET "INTERESTS"
STEAL YOUR VOTE!

You—like every other American—are en-
titled to a full vote. Yet, at the present time,
your vote for state senator counts only
about a tenth as much as a vote cast in the
Upper Peninsula. That's because the state
senator up there represents only about a
tenth as many people as a state senator from
this area Reapportionment Proposal No. 2
will correct this. Your vote will count as
much•as anybody's. Selfish groups support-
ing rival Proposal 3 are asking you to con-
tinue unequal representation in the Senate
in order to protect special "interests". This
is nothing more than an attempt to confuse
the issue in an -effort to get YOU to give
them a portion of your voting power. It's an

attempt to steal your vote.

YOU NEED A FULL VOTE

Why should you be deprived of a full vote just because you happen to live in this
section of the State? Obviously the majority of us can't get legislation that will benefit
the majority of Michigan as long as a small minority controls the Legislature. For
example, 52% of us now pay 75% of the state's taxes. In order to get the kind of
legislation you want, you need equal representation in Lansing. You need a full vote.
That's just exactly what Proposal No. 2 gives you and everybody—a full and equal vote.

Here's What
Proposal 2 Does:

PROPOSAL 3 IS A FRAUD

• Ends the bedsheet ballot.
• Restores majority rule.
• Redistricts the Senate on
• population basis.
• Redistricts the House on
O population basis.
• Insures redistricting
(reapportionment) after
every U.S. census.
• Places the responsibility for
redistricting in the hands
of the Secretary of State.

The rival reapportionment plan on the ballot
—Proposal No. 3—is a fraud. It would deny
you equal representation in both the Michigan
House and Senate. It is sponsored by the
banker-big business associations in the State.
Their goal is to stop liberal legislation and to
prevent passage of a Corporation Profits Tax
which would ease your tax load. W. K. Kelsey,
the Detroit News' Commentator, called Pro-
posal No. 3 "THE MOST SCANDALOUS
FRAUD on democracy ever attempted in the
State of Michigan."
