`Can Generations

An informal meeting will be held
7 p.m. Sunday at the home of
Bruce Kutnick, 19831 Monte Vista,
to discuss Shaal, the urban collec-
tive in Israel.
Last September, a group of
Americans and Canadians estab-
lished an urban collective in the
development tower of Carmiel.
Shaal has adapted many of the
social and economic institutions of
the kibutz to an urban setting. Its
members are now integrating well
into Israeli society.
Over the next several years, a
second group, Shaal Bet, will join
the founding settlers in Carmiel.

`Hadrian the Seventh'
The swift and astonshing eleva-
tion of an unknown, penniless Brit-
ish writer to the Papacy of the
Church of Rome is the story of
"Hadrian VII," this season's
Broadway play based on the ori-
ginal novel now available from
Dover.
It is impossible to separate
"Hadrian VII" (Dover paperback
reprint) from the life of its author,
Frederick Baron Corvo (Frederick
W. Rolfe) (1860-1913). His life, his
failures, his suffering, his genius,
and his bitterness are thoroughly
woven into its fabric.
Common Councilman Mel Ravitz,
businessman Stanley Winkelman
and Mrs. Kathleen Straus, assist-

are members of a blue-ribbon
committee concerned about the

lic Schools.
The 40-member Citizens Action
Committee on Financing Detroit
Public Schools, formed a few

get funds to keep the Detroit Pub-
lic Schools operating. A plan will
be taken before the Michigan
