Plan Israel Museum
for Sholem Aleichem
JERUSAL5M, (JTA) — The
corner stone for a Sholem Alei-
chem House, to serve as a mu-
seum to perpetuate the momory
of the great Yiddish humorist,
will be laid in November on a
plot in Tel Aviv donated by
the municipality.
Supporters in the United
State have contributed $130,000
for the project. The plan was
announced at a founding meet-
ing for the project held at the
home of President Zalman Sha-
zar, who was named honorary
president.
King of Nepal Defies Brandeis University Will Raise Tuition
WALTHAM, Mass., (JTA) — in college costs that could up-
Arabs to Visit Israel Brandeis
University announced
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — King
Mahendra of Nepal arrived here
for a week-long state visit with
his Queen, Nepalese Premier
Tulsi Giri and four senior
Nepalese army officers.
The royal guests were met at
the airport by President Zal-
man Shazar, Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol, cabinet ministers,
members of the Knesset, mem-
bers of the diplomatic corps,
and a group of Nepalese stu-
dents studying in Israel.
Four Super Mystere Israeli
Air Force jets flew past in a
salute formation, as the King
stepped from the plane and was
greeted with a 21-gun salute.
The visitors immediately left
for Jerusalem, where school-
children lined the streets to
greet the King's arrival. The
King and his entourage were
then given an official reception
by Acting Mayor Rabbi M.
Porush and the members of the
Jerusalem Municipal Council.
Arab efforts to forestall the
visit have continued since last
year, when representatives of
the Arab states boycotted an
Indian government reception
given to King Mahendra during
the monarch's official visit to
India. The visit here was seen
as reaffirming Nepal's deter-
mination to pursue its policy of
close friendship with Israel. It
is expected to culminate with a
joint statement of friendship
and cooperation to be issued by
the heads of the state of the
two countries.
that rapidly increasing costs
have compelled an increase in
its tuition charges. Action on
the $200 increase to $1,650 will
be delayed for one year. It does
not become effective before
September, 1964.
The action will not affect any
students, already at the univer-
sity, who have previously sus-
tained a tuition increase. This
is in line with university policy
to protect its students against
a series of unpredictable charges
set a family's four-year budget.
Dr. Abram L. Sachar, presi-
dent of the university, reaffirm-
ed Brandeis' policy on student
aid and scholarships. He said
that students now receiving fi-
nancial assistance will be able
to apply for additional aid if
they are unable to meet the new
tuition schedule.
Fever is only a ''symptom, and
we are not sure that it is an
enemy. Perhaps it is a friend.
—Dr. Eugene F. Du Bois.
