Tel Aviv U. Refuses Israel Agricultural Production Grows
to OK Resignation
by Wise, Others
TEL AVIV (JTA)--The executive
board of Tel Aviv University voted
here March 12 not to accept the
resignation of Dr. George Wise,
who had quit the presidency of the
university, as well as to refuse to
accept "all other recent resigna-
tions."
The board's decision was voted
by a ballot of 6 to 2, the dissenters
being Dr. Ben-Zion Katz, rector of
the university, and Prof. Alfred
Klopstock, the former rector.
The board called on Dr. Wise,
who had left for the United States,
to return here as soon as possible
and resume his duties as president.
Tel Aviv Mayor Mordechai Namir
was instructed to communicate
with Dr. Wise immediately and to
inform him that, as soon as he
comes back, the executive board
will meet with him to iron out the
disputes between him and the vari-
ous governing bodies of the univer-
sity.
Pending Dr. Wise's return, the
board ruled that Aharon Doron,
the university's director-general,
would head the institution's ad-
ministrative and financial de-
partments as acting president.
After the meeting, Dr. Katz, who
said he will not resign, stated that
he had opposed the rejection of
Dr. Wise's resignation because Dr.
Wise "interfered in academic mat-
ters in such a way as to endanger
the university's level of instruc-
tion." "I don't believe," he added,
"that Dr. Wise could change his
habits."
Dr. Wise replied to the charges
by telephone from New York.
"If being responsible," he said,
"for bringing and retaining at the
university, Prof. Yuval Ne'eman,
world-famous physicist; Prof.
Abba Lerner, universally recog-
nized authority on economics;
Prof. Joshua Jortner, a young,
bright star in physical chemistry;
Prof. Burton Marvin, dean of the
William Allen White School of
Journalism at the University of
Kansas; Prof. Abel Schejter, re-
search associate in space sciences
of Nobel Prizewinner Prof. Libby
of UCLA; and Dr. Jonathan Sha-
piro, promising young sociologist,
is endangering the university's
level of instruction, I cheerfully
plead guilty."
Tel Aviv Mayor M o r de c h a i
Namir has been authorized by the
Tel Aviv University board of trus-
tees to name a committee to medi-
ate the dispute between Dr. Wise
and Dr. Katz. Namir announced
that the chairman of the committee
will be Aryeh L. Pincus, chairman
of the executive of the Jewish
Agency. The Tel Aviv mayor said
that half of the committee mem-
bers would be from countries out-
side Israel.

Sholem Aleichem Institute
Presents A Repeat Performance of
THE ORIGIN OF THE YIDDISH THEATRE
Agricultural production in Israel has received a tremendous
boost as Israel Bond dollars are used to build irrigation pipelines
to bring additional sectors under cultivation. As a result of the
agricultural expansion financed with the help of Israel Bonds, Israel
is now providing some 85 per cent of its own food requirements.
Here we see a bumper crop of onions grown in the Lachish area.

Technion Instructors
Strike, Threaten to Quit
HAIFA (JTA)—A major dispute
between the administration of
Technion-Israel Institute of Tech-
nology and the teachers in the
faculty of architecture deepened
here this week with the faculty
members threatening mass resig-
nations and the administration
hinting they may be dismissed.
The argument is over a proposal
by the administration to split the
faculty of architecture into two
sections and to appoint a new dean
of students. Members of the faculty
staged a one-day strike Sunday in
opposition to the plan, and were
supported by many students.
The Technion Senate Monday
strongly criticized the walk-out and
warned that "if the teachers repeat
this step, the connection between
them and T echnion may be
severed." The teachers then said
they were considering "collective
resignations."
