of assistance to Israel, including

that Israeli independence be un-

what he meant by "acts of assist-

Arab Students at Hebrew University
Place Emphasis on Science Studies
JERUSALE51—Arab students at
the Hebrew University of Jerusa-
lem are turning increasingly to
the natural sciences, while only a
few years ago they were concen-
trated largely in humanities and
law.
In a statistical analysis on stu-
dents from the Israeli minorities,
prepared by the office of the dean
of students, it appears that over
one-third of these students have
taken up studies in the natural
sciences, with another third study-
ing in the faculty of humanities,
and the last third of the students
divided among subjects such as
law, social sciences and social
work.
According to the statistics—the
first ever such detailed study made
at the Hebrew University — the
number of Arab and Druse stu-
dents at the University totals 205,
a slight increase over last year's
200. The number comprises 42
Druse and 16 students from East
Jerusalem (including one - third
hloslem Arabs, one-third Christian
Arabs and one-third Armenians),
as well as two Christian Arabs
from Bethlehem.
An interesting feature of the sta-
tistics is that 70 per cent of the
Arab students come all the way to
the Hebrew University from their
homes in the northern part of the
country, despite the existence in
that area of the Haifa University
College, which now has more than
300 Arabs and Druse enrolled
among its student population of
close to 4,000. The balance are
