Technion Students Solve Problem
by Publishing Own Hebrew Texts
Fall Public School
Drive for Clothing
to Start on Monday
Detroit's 25th annual fall pub-
lic school clothing drive will start
Monday, and continue through
Oct. 14, it is announced by Earl
R. Laing, principal of Everett
Elementary School.
The drive goal is 150 tons of
used but wearable shoes and
clothing to be given free to needy
children so that they can remain
in school.
Sponsors of the drive are De-
troit Public Schools Social Serv-
ice, of which Laing is president,
and the Volunteers of America,
the co-operating socia
agency which picks

The publishing house thus re-
mains the property of the stu-
dent body attending the Tech-
nion at any period. It is a non-
profit body, selling its textbooks
at cost to the students. In many
cases, this cost basis represents
a saving of some 40 per cent as
compared to a similar textbook
published by an outside source.
The professors whose lectures
form the basis for Technion
textbooks are usually paid a
nominal fee for outright owner-
ship of the manuscript, on a per
page basis.
According to Uzi Trachten-
berg, president of the Student
Association, this unique Pub
lishing House policy was de
cided upon after experience ha
proved that basie textbooks
translated into Hebrew from
other languages not only proved
too exnensive. owing to pay-
ment of copyright fees, but also
were found to be used mainly
for reference purposes, and not
as basic aids in study. The
Technion's own textbooks, on
the other hand, are fully read
and studied as they parallel and
in most cases supplement the
lectures of faculty teachers.
Linked as closely as they are
to the lectures of each particu-
lar professor, the locally-pro-
duced textbooks are valid only
as long as that professor is lec-
turing at the Technion. Whe
he leaves and is replaced
another lecturer, a new text
is prepared on the basis
new lecture course. But t
dents Publishing House
worried by this questio
solescence.
In a world of rapid t
development, even the
staid and standard textboo
lished in any of the world 1
guages soon becomes out of date
and must be replaced—a great
cost in a country where they
have to be imported or trans-
lated. The Technion system has
enabled its student's to keep
abreast with latest develop-
ments in every field, in their
textbooks as well as in their
lectures.
The Student Publishing
House is now making plans to
purchase new presses which will
enable it to develop into a fully
efficient and adequate publish-
ing house. Even on an outmoded
and inadequate press, however,
Technion students have to date
published over 140 titles, in the
entire range of subjects taught
at the Technion, all major fields
of engineering, technology and
applied science.

IT JEWISH NEWS — Friday, September 30, 1960
Although Israel has long had
a tradition of teaching and
training in Hebrew—even in the
day of the British mandate
Jewish schools and institutes of
higher learning taught in He-
brew—the provision of techni-
cal books and training manuals
in Hebrew has always presented
a problem.
Keenly aware of this problem,
the students of the Technion,
Israel Institute of Technology,
have overcome the problem in
a novel way.
In 1952 the Students' Associa-
tion of the Technion decided to
enter the publishing business
on a cooperative basis and to
publish its own Hebrew text-
books to meet the ever-increas-
ing needs of the students.
The first scientific and tech-
nical material to be gathered
for publication in Hebrew were
the personal lectures of the
faculty members. With their
permission and cooperation, the
lecturing professors helped edit
and annotate their lectures from
copious notes taken by students
in their classes who were as-
signed to this particular task.
The Student Association Pub-
lishing House of the Technion is
a cooperative e n to r p r i s e in
which every student becomes a
shareholder by payment of IL.10
(about $5) upon entering the
Technion. He remains -a share-
holder during his entire period
of study at the Technion and
ceases to be a shareholder upon
graduation.
