degree at the university's com-

Charles Moche, 21, earned the
first degree from Yeshiva College,
the second from the James Striar
School of General Jewish Studies.
He will continue his education at
the Massachusetts College of Op-
tometry. The student's father, Vic-

from evil. Ever since independence,
not a stone has been left unturned
to reach understanding and peace
with our neighbors." •
