tion to its historic goals of educa-
tion for human knowledge. Educa-
tional technology has became a
major economic, industrial, scien-
tific and cultural enterprise. The
Jewish school must apply this
technology in order to update its
pedagogic methods. Only by doing
this can the Jewish schools hold
their own in the fierce contest for
the loyalty of youth.

Randleman retired in 1967
from the Randleman Company, a
Detroit-based firm engaged in mer-
chandising phonograph records and
stereo tapes on a national basis,
after 30 years of active participa-
tion in its affairs as general man-
ager, president and chairman of
the board. He also serves as an
independent sales consultant to
other firms, making available his
lifetime experience in sales and
merchandising. He is continuing
his association with the Randle-
man Company as director and con-
sultant.
For many years a generous con-
tributor to Israeli causes and
the - United Jewish Appeal, Mr.
Randleman takes a deep interest
in musical development and as a
result of his generous gift the
University of Miami in Coral Ga-
bles, Fla., last month dedicated
the building now known as the
Randleman Institute of Recorded
Sound. Another of Mr. Handle-
man's gifts made possible the lan-
guage laboratory in the Hillel Day
School Building, to be dedicated in
Detroit this summer.
Mrs. Randleman, the former
Sally Kabaker, a native of Clinton,
Ill., was brought to Detroit as an
infant and, like her husband, who
was born in Buffalo, N.Y., lived
all her life in Detroit. The Kaba-
ker family has for decades been
among the prominent Michigan
families active in congregationial
and communal activities. The Jew-
fish National Fund, UJA, Hadassah
and scores of other causes have
enjoyed their benefactions. The
Kabakers have planted a forest in

Rabbi Dobrinsky said "It is
an unfair anachronism for a
rabbi who is expected by his
congregation to cope with the
modern age to be paid a scale
reflecting the financial difficul-
ties of three generations ago."
He also noted that "the whole
image of the rabbinate has to be
changed in the eyes of the laity.
A rabbi whose duties as scholar,
preacher, counsellor, program di-
rector and administrator canot
be regarded as an office employe
of the congregation who has to
punch a clock and have his posi-
tion reviewed each year. Any fac-
tory worker in a union has much
more security than the average
Yemenite settlement near Jeru- rabbi, and is eligible for fringe
benefits like hospital insurance

NEW YORK — A recent survey
has revealed that Orthodox pulpit
rabbis are receiving "shockingly
low" salaries, prompting an ex-
pression of concern over the fu-
ture of recruiting qualified per-
sonnel in an area already plagued
by shortages of teachers and
spiritual leaders.
Results of the survey were dis-
closed by Rabbi Herbert C. Dob-
rinsky, director of rabbinic place-
ment of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan
Theological Seminary, an affiliate
of the Yeshiva University, at a
meeting of rabbinic alumni in New
York City.
The salary scales were brought
to light as a result of Rabbi Bob-
rinsky's recent examination of
1,014 living alumni, which showed
that 70 per cent of the seniinary's
graduates were actively engaged
in full-time service to the Jewish
community.
More than 35 per cent of the
alumni are spiritual leaders, and
nearly 15 per cent are in Jewish
education. The survey was under.
taken in commemoration of the
85th anniversary of the founding
of Yeshiva Eitz Chaim, the Sem-
inary's foreruner, which wil be
celebrated this weekend.
