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.
