Central's halls buzzed with ex-
citment and curiosity last
Thursday as something new was
introduced to the student body
in assemblies held during • the
a.m. and p.m. groups.
This something new is a citi-
zenship recognition program,
organized to reward those stu-
dents who are good citizens in
school . even though they do not
have an all "A" record.
According to the committee in
charge of the program, there
are three basic points of good
citizenship:
Service — This is shown by
participation in extra-curricular
activities for which no credit
hours, school letter, or any oth-
er special award is given.
Co-operation — The ability to
work in harmony with a teach-
er, fellow classmates and to obey
school regulations.
Responsibility — Proven by a
high attendance and low tardi-
ness record.
A minimum of eight points is
required to receive an award
certificate. Explanatory leaflets
listing the sources of points and
number of points allowed for
each source have been distrib-
uted.
During the assembly a skit,
"Sam Will Get By," was present-
ed by Faith Greenbaub, Jerry
Bernstein and Moishe Dworkin.

School clubs have begun to
function, with the French Club,
Travel Club and Human Rela-
tions Club holding meetings last
week.
The past week was also a busy
one for 9B's, 9A's and 10B's, as
student council elections were
held Monday eliminating all but
eight students from each grade.
On Friday, after a lengthy cam-
paign, the final balloting took
place. Four students will be
elected from each grade. Win-
ners will be announced next
week.
On Friday, Mumford lost a
close contest with Cooley, in an
inter-sectional game, by the
score of 12 to 7. Even though the
game was lost, Mumfordites
still had plenty to cheer about,
and most of the large turnout
of students went home with sore
throats.

Editor, Detroit Jewish News:
I would be grateful if you
would publish this letter so as
to correct an error in Mr. Slo-
movitz's article in your issue of
the 18th September. Discussing
my book, "Two Studies in Vir-
tue", published by Alfred A.
Knopf, Mr. Slomovitz says: "In
spite of his (the author's) lack
of knowledge of Perez Smolen-
skin's 'Am Olam' he doesn't like
it."
This suggests that I am either
abnormally prejudiced or not in
my right mind. In truth I ex-
press no opinion on Smolenskin.
I mention him only once. Re-
ferring to Jewish nationalist
literature of the mid-nineteenth
century I say: "With the pos-
sible exception of Drishath Zion
and Smolenskin's Am Olam,
these books cannot be admitted
except by a prejudiced reader."
To this passage there is a foot-
note explaining that I have not
read either of the books whose
titles I mention owing to my ig-
norance of the language in
which they were written. _
Faithfully yours,
CHRISTOPHER SYKES

Reviewer's Note : Few books
have been given as much space
in these columns as were • al-
lotted to Mr. Sykes' thought-
provoking "Two Studies in Vir-
tue." We could not, therefore,
have questioned the author's
state . of mind or abnormality.
We . maintain, however, that Mr.
Sykes was unfair in his treat-
ment of some Jewish authors.
When he refers to them as shar-
ing "some main faults with
anti-Semitic literature : they are
full of careless and emotional
histOry . . .", he proves that he,
in turn, has been careless in
their study: Also: when he
writes that "there is an element
of sly anti-Christian propa-
ganda in Salvador and Hess
which is extremely repulsive,"
the reviewer believes thati he
has been hasty in his judgment.
Christians have criticized Chris-
tians for anti- Semitism and
were not called repulsive. For
that matter, we choose to en-
roll Christopher Sykes among
good friends who do not hesi-
tate to condemn their own kins-
men for wrong-doing.
Criticism on his lonely point
must not be interpreted as un-
fair treatment of either author
or book. In five consecutive is-
sues we found admirable ma-
terial in Sykes' work. We re-
peat the compliment with which
we concluded the final article in
our last week's issue: "we have
been stimulated by his book .. ."
(Smolenski is spelled
oor-
rectly when the reviewer quoted;
it is used incorrectly when Mr
Sykes makes his own references
to Smolenski.)
