Nederlander
in Race for
TIM Regent
Robert Nederlander, a practicing
attorney and vice president of the
Nederlander Theatrical Corpora-
tion (Detroit's Fisher Theater),
has been nomi-
nated by the
Democratic Par-
ty for the position
of regent of the
University of
Michigan, elec-
tive November 5.
During his
seven years at
the University of
Michigan, b oth
as a graduate
student in t h e
university's 1 a w
school, h e n o t Nederlander
only gained an insight into the uni-
versity's problems as they per-
tained to the student body, but he
developed an interest in university
matters which has increased dur-
ing the intervening years. Bob
Nederlander was captain of the
1955 Big 10 Championship Tennis
Team and the recipient of the
Fielding H. Yost award for out-
standing scholarship, athletics and
leadership.
Problems confronting the regents
include financing, faculty recruit-
ing, continuing the university's
branch programs, furthering the
residential and community college
concept, improving student-univer-
sity relationships and making edu-
cation at the university available
to all qualified students.

Ann Arbor to Honor Revered Citizen, Symphony to Have
Osias Zwerdling, at Reception Sunday Stern as Soloist
Osias Zwerdling, dean of the Ann
Arbor Jewish community, will be
honored at a reception on the occa-
sion of his 90th birthday 3-5 p.m.
at the Beth Israel-Hillel Building.
He also will be honored at services
today.
The Sunday affair is being spon-
sored by the Jewish Community
Council of Washtenaw County,
which represents Beth Israel Con-
gregation, Temple Beth Emeth,
the Jewish Cultural School, Bnai
Brith, Hillel Foundation, Israeli
Student Organization, Hadassah
and the United Jewish Appeal.
At 4 p.m., Mayor Wendel Hul-
cher will present Mr. Zwerdling
with a key to the city and a cita-
tion for his many years of dedicat-
ed service. The mayor will then
declare Sunday "Osias Zwerdling
Day in Ann Arbor." Other speak-
ers on the progr a m include
Leonard N. Simons, president of
the Michigan Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundations, Inc.; Dean William
Habor of U.-M.; Arthur Gallager,
editor of the Ann Arbor News;
Thomas Cook, a lifetime friend of
Mr. Zwerdling; and Paul I. Pres-
sel, president of Beth Israel.
Mr. Zwerdling is a former busi-
nessman and leader in both Jewish
and secular community activities.
He has given freely over the past
65 years of Ann Arbor residency
both his energy and his financial
support to many of the vital organ-
izations of the community.
In 1903 he was brought to Ann
Arbor from New York to work as
a fur designer for the old Mack
and Co. department store. He
later opened his own business.
In 1915, he erected the Zwerd-
ling Building at 213-219 E.
Liberty.
As a charter member of the
Family Service Agency in 1921, he
served as its treasurer for 17 of
the 23 years he was an active
board member. He is the only hon-
orary life member of this group.
Mr. Zwerdling was chairman of
the United Fund and served on the
Community Chest Board for eight
years until 1943. He served as
chairman of the USO during World
War II and headed the county War
Bond drives during that period.
He has been a member of the
board of directors of the Ann Arbor
Federal Savings and Loan Bank
since 1921.
He has been awarded many cita-
tions, including the Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce Human Relations
Award in 1956 and the Senior Citi-
zens Award in 1967.
He is a life member of the
Masons, a member of Kiwanis and
a founding board member of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews. He also served as presi-
dent of the Michigan Synagogue
Council from 1941 to 1946.
Mr. Zwerdling has led many of
the annual United Jewish Appeal
drives. He is president emeritus of
the Michigan Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation and is chaplain of the
local Bnai Brith chapter. He works
actively on the Anti-Defamation
League. Due to his untiring efforts,
the present Hillel building became
a reality.
Beth Israel Congregation was or-
ganized in large part through the
efforts of Mr. Zwerdling, who
served as president for 40 years.
The congregation appointed him
"honorary president" for life. He
still plays an active part on the
board and attends services daily.
He is well versed in Hebrew
studies, having attended the He-
brew school in Austria headed by
his late grandfather.
He began to work at age 13 in
order to assist his young widowed
mother and her other two chil-
dren. He was married in 1907
to the late Esther Kaufman of
Manchester, England. He is the
father of three sons, Morris and
Abe of Detroit, and Joseph of
Silver Spring, Md., all practicing
attorneys.
In honor of Mr. and Mrs. Zwerd-
ling's 50th wedding anniversary
their sons established under the
auspices of the department of Near
Eastern studies, the annual U.-M.
