ple. The action stemmed from a Glueck, president, conferred hon-
petition drive, begun last October orary degrees upon the following:
Dr. Louis T. Benezet, president
by the Committee of Concerned
of Claremont University Center;
Jews at Cornell.
Rabbi George Sobelman, in an-
nouncing the program, said, "For
a university of this caliber to have
no courses on Mid East history,
government or culture, or in mod-
ern Hebrew, is surprising, curious
and disappointing."
The petition sponsors collected
over 1,000 signatures last year and
presented them to Stuart M.
Brown, the university's vice presi-
dent for academic affairs. When
no action was taken, another peti-
tion was drafted which collected
the signatures of 100 arts pro-
fessors. The education policy com-
mittce of the arts college approved
the petitions on May 7. Among the
classes to be offered will be mod-
ern Hebrew, through the depart-
ment of modern languages, and
courses in the governments and
history of the Middle East.

in sending the question of the Co-
ordinating Board's status back to
a committee of the Economic and
Social Council at a session last
May 21.
Monday's decision stemmed
from a proposal by the United
States. However. it still left a
shadow of doubt over the Co-
ordinating Board's future status.
The ECOSOC statement said it
was its "understanding that the
Coordinating Board of Jewish or-
ganizations continue in the con-
sultative status as a nongovern-
mental organization with the
rights and obligations exercised
by it in the past" but added the
words. "until its future relation-
ship with the Council was finally
determined."
The U.S. proposal was adopted
after the council rejected a Paki-
stani amendment which would
have interpreted its May 21 action
as a "decision - that the Jewish
group "does not enjoy - consulta-
tive status while the results of
further examination of its future
were awaited.
Votes in favor of the U.S. pro-
posal were cast by Argentina, Bel-
gium, France, Ireland, Jamaica,
Mexico, Norway. Sierra Leone,
United-Kingdom, United States and
Uruguay. Opposed were Bulgaria,
Congo (Brazzaville). Indonesia,
Kuwait, Libya. Pakistan, Sudan
and the USSR. There were seven
abstentions, and one member was
absent.

Take a generous portion of thoughtfulness and eagerness to please.
Mix with giggling excitement and secrets in mother's ear. Add the
sound of a broken piggy bank and the jingling of a sackful of small
change. Catch a loud whisper about a very mysterious shopping trip.
Dress up with hours of packaging in gaudy paper held by a full roll
of cellophane tape. And ... present with gleaming eyes, lots of love,
and a resounding wet kiss.
