A
MSU's Kadema Out to Win
Judaic Studies Accreditation
Convinced that Hebrew is more
relevant to Jewish students than
is Swahili, the newly f ormed
Kadema organization at Michigan
State University is attempting to
get Judaica studies accredited.
If enthusiasm has anything to do
with it, the group will succeed in
obtaining the required signatures.
David Asher, a founder and cur-
rent chairman of Kadema, said the
small organization (30 actives, 100
on the mailing list) has an active
program on Israel under way and
has ambitious plans for other pro-
graming on such issues as Soviet
Jewry.
Through distribution of litera-
ture, meetings and lectures on Is-
rael, Asher hopes to make some
impact on the 1,500-2,000 Jewish
students at MSU. It will take some
work, for Asher views the assimila-
tion tendency at the university as
"terrible." Through Israel, he said,
"I thought some kind of identity
might be stimulated among the
Jewish students."
He. said the Jewish faculty
has been helpful in trying to get
Hebrew into the curriculum, and
there is cooperation with both
Hillel Foundation and the Is-
raeli Students Organization,
which has some 25 members.
With the sponsorship of the MSU
chapter of American Professors for
Peace in the Middle East, Kadema
took part in a Free University
course on Israel, addressed by
members of the faculty.
The organization also joined with
the Israeli students in sponsoring
a program on opportunities in Is-
rael, attended by 150 students and
addressed by Dr. Ralph Smuckler,
dean of international programs at
MSU.

dependence Day) celebration also
is scheduled for May, as well as
a weekend at Camp Tamarack,
when the theme for discussion will
be Zionism.
Formed in October out of the
now-defunct Students for Israel,
Kadema is affiliated with the
loosely federated Michigan As-
sociation of Jewish College Stu-
dents. Members of the association
meet at the Jewish Center during
vacations, publish a newspaper and
attempt to tackle problems that
are common to Jewish college stu-
dents throughout the state.
Asher, son of Cantor Arthur
Asher of Temple Israel, is a sopho-
more in James Madison College
for the social sciences. He'll be
going to. Israel this summer for
a Leadership Conference of Jew-
ish College Students, sponsored by
the American Zicnist Youth Fed-
eration, liaison to the Jewish col-
lege organizations across the coun-
try.
Being a small organization,
Kadema hopes to draw strength
out of a tight core of activists.
Paul Korda is in charge of Is-
rael programs, Gilda Listopad,
secretary, and Sheldon Freilich,
head of the "crisis •committee."
The latter is designed to react
immediately to any anti-Israel or
anti-Semitic manifestations that
arise, such as a letter in the school
paper. Arab students are not a
powerful force on campus, he
added, but occasionally a profes-
sor will write a "powerful" letter
against Israel.
Asher admitted to some concern
with the "Jewish Uncle Toms"—
those leftists "who forget they're
Jews." The trouble with them,
said Asher, is "they're tied up in
their own revolutionary rhetoric"
and "their facts are mixed up."
He credited the black students
with establishing a precedent for
minority groups. "If Jews see the
need for them, things the black
students are doing for themselves
will stimulate the Jewish students
too," he said.

Re-Evaluating Funding
of Road to Passion Play
WASHINGTON—The department
of transportation is re-evaluating
the release of funds to build a high-
way that would provide better
access to a pasion play and exhibit
run by known anti-Semite Gerald
L. K. Smith in Eureka, Ark.
In a letter to JWV National
Commander Bernard Direnfeld of
Cleveland, Department of Trans-
portation Secretary John Volpe in-
dicated that he had requested the
Federal Highway Administration
"to furnish new data concerning
traffic volume presently using this
facility." The secretary also indi-
cated that he had asked his gen-
eral counsel to "review the legality
of using federal funds for improv-
ing this roadway."
According to Secretary Volpe's
letter, funds for the highway have
not yet been approved.
On the whole, perhaps it is the
great readers rather than the great
writers who are entirely to be
envied. They pluck the fruits, and
are spared the trouble of rearing
them. —Alexander Smith
For the first time, a young
psychoanalyst, Joel Kovel, investi-
gates white racism in a new book,
WHITE RACISM: A PSYCHO-
HISTORY. As an assistant pro-
fessor of psychiatry at the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine, Dr.
Kovel has drawn from his teach-
ing experience, psychoanalytical
thought, and the literature of sev-
eral fields to reach an understand-
ing of the causes underlying the
crisis in our culture. In studying
the fantasies and symbols that
have evolved throughout our past
and in examining basic attitudes
to children, relations, property,
and power, we can find the ori-
gins of the irrational force that has
become so central to the crisis of
racism.
