Stern College Enrolls 600
NEW YORK (JTA) — Enrollment
at the Yeshiva University's Stern
College for Women exceeded 600
when the college began its new
semester, Monday. The college op-
ened in 1954 with a student body
of 33.
An apartment-hotel valued at
$4,000,000, has been taken over by
the college as dormitorjes for out-
of-town students—about two-thirds
of the enrollment — and a 113-
year-old police station was acquired
and completely remodeled to pro-
vide additional administrative
space and classroom facilities.
Arab Oil Boycott
of Bonn Flops
BONN (JTA) — The proclaimed
Arab boycott against West Ger-
many during the past year has
been far from unanimous, accord-
ing to the latest official statistics
released here. Only Libya and
Iraq pursued the oil boycott, the
report said, while otller Arab
states continued to supply oil to
West Germany.
Kuwait and Algeria, for example,
delivered more oil to Germany in
the past year than ever before.
The Algerian dagivery was up
threefold since the proclaimed boy-
cott.
Hebrew U. Scientists
to Study Sinai Desert
JERUSALEM — The "geological
paradise" known as the Sinai Pen-
insula will be studied by a team of
scientists from the Hebrew Uni-
versity, who plan to set up a tem-
porary field camp in about a
month.
Yavoc Bentor, head of the uni-
versity's department of geology,
said the branch will be set up in
abandoned houses along the east
coats of the Gulf of Suez.
The geologists will study the
granite formations in the Sinai and
the coral reefs in the vicinity of
Sharm el Sheikh. Zoologists will
examine life in the Red Sea and
Mediterranean in hopes of measur-
ing what effect the mixing of the
waters through the Suez Canal has
had.
Botanists will make experimental
plantings to discover what varieties
of plant life can survive the desert
conditions, and medical scientists
will study their colleagues to de-
termine what effect life in the
desert has on their physiological
makeup.
Shortly after the Six-Dax war,
a four-day survey was held in the
region. Scientists brought back
about half a ton of rock specimens
for study.
Bertrand Russell's
Group Makes Charges
In an item headed "Lord Rus-
sell: Investigating the Israelis,"
Newsweek, in this week's Peri-
scope, states:
Philosopher Bertrand Russell,
who recently sponsored a "tri-
bunal" which found the U.S. guilty
of war crimes in Vietnam, has
turned his peace foundation's at-
tentions on Israel. A seven-mem-
ber mission, headed by Christopher
Farley, one of Russell's aides, has
been touring the Middle East for
three weeks. Farley, now in Cairo,
claims he has turned up evidence
that the Israelis used "inhuman"
weapons against the Arabs, and
that they were aided by Ameri-
can pilots.
