for the new coach of this fine
squad, Sim Stovack. The varsity
team consists of Robert Ostro-
vitz, Margie Cohen, David Et-
tinger and Jerry Lerman.
The senior class at OPHS has I

Beth Am Students Explore Concern
of Congregation if Member Is Slumlord

"Does a congregation have any
obligation to concern itself about
a member who is a slum landlord,
cited frequently for health and
safety violations in his tenements?"
This was the question asked
in the current issue of Keeping

of American Hebrew Congregations
(Reform), and answered by stu-
dents of Temple Beth Am's reli-

through 12, included Donn Gold-
