A musical program will be given by Cantor Simon Bermanis. The current dinner was an occasion for Zvi Tomkiewicz, executive di- rector of the local Bar-Ilan office, to recall the early history of De- troiters' interest in the Israel uni- versity. Tomkiewicz recalled that even before the university was estab- lished in 1955, the late Dr. Pinkhos Churgin, who became Bar-Ilan's first president, came here and en- listed the assistance of the late Dr. A. M. Hershman in the project to create the new university in the name of the late Rabbi Meyer Ber- lin who had changed his name when he settled in Israel to Bar- Ilan. Prof. Samuel Levin was among the first to enroll in the university's behalf. Then came a period during which men like Abe Nusbaum, who was the first Detroit chairman, the late Daniel Temchin, Irving Schlussel' and Rabbi Morris Adler became ac- tive in the local movement. In all these names, Tomkie- wicz pointed out the buildings and classrooms have been named at the university, and their memo- ries "continue to be honored in ap- preciation of their assistance to a great cause." Tomkiewicx Since then, many Detroit fami- lies, under the leadership of the Stollmans, have assisted in provid- ing support for Bar-Ban. The school began with a student body of 75, and Tomkiewicz, was among those who attended the first ceremonial marking the opening of the university. Now the university has a student body of nearly 4,000 and 400 students have been en- rolled from foreign countries.

Some of this increase is needed to bal- ance up our facilities which grown in the past in accordance with the availability of funds from donors, and partly in accordance with the talents available in the various departments and faculties. But the major portion of the expansion is needed for the increase of stu- dents." Dr. Goldberg noted that this year the Technion board of gover- nors decided to invite student rep- resentation on the board, and that he will recommend to the Senate of the Technion the establishment of a student-faculty committee. The Technion will this year in- augurate an institute of biomedi- cal engineering sciences. The 5,600 students at the Tech- nion consists of 3,900 undergrad- uate students and 1,700 graduate students of whom 1,450 are pre- paring for the degree of MS and 250 for the degree of doctor of science.
