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.

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 Israel in memory of David Kaba: ker, have established a synagogue at Ashkelon and social center in a 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 salem.

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. ads Original Equipment Premiums Snow Tires with General Electric Set Carbide Studs Truck Tires Wheel Alignment Wheel Balancing Our huge warehouse is convenient to Carl's Chop House and strategically located near all expressways.
