ORT Director-General M a
Braude told the conference that
there had been a "radical
change" in the Jewish occupa-
tional spectrum in the last few
decades, and that ORT was re-
sponding to this by innovating
such science-based studies as
automation, nuclear technology
and computer technology.
Morris B. Abram, president of
Brandeis University, told the dele-
gates that the Nixon administration
has aggravated campus turmoil by
not following through on its com-
mitment to higher education.
"While the turmoil continues to
rage within our gates," he de-
clared, "the trickle of federal funds
to the campus indicates plainly
that the promisory rhetoric about
aid to the economically deprived
is simply not being fulfilled."
