trained personnel in every field,
and particularly science and tech-
nology, that the country needs, but
also in seeing to it that the State's
young citizens are trained to main-
tain the established traditions of
democracy and independent thought
so essential to the nation's healthy
and meaningful survival.
University President Avraham
Harman said it was appropriate
that the school of education build-
ing bear the name of Samuel and
Betty Katzin. Mr. Katzin is a grad-
uate of Chicago University who
majored in mathematics and also
studied at the Juilliard School of
Music (he is an accomplished ama-
teur violinist) and Mrs. Katzin is
a teacher.
Harman went on to say that
Samuel Katzin, a prominent Chi-
cago automobile dealer and real
estate developer, has a long stand-
ing interest in education. He served
for many years as the president
of the Chicago College of Jewish
Studies and of the city's board of
Jewish education and was also
president of the Chicago chapter
of the American Friends of the
Hebrew University on whose na-
tional board he still serves.

A lecture hall in the law faculty
the
Hebrew
University's Mount
if
Scopus campus was dedicated by
Menache H. Eliachar, prominent
Jerusalem businessman, in mem-
Ory of his father, the late Isaac
Eliachar, first president of the
United Jewish Community in Jeru-
Salem and its first deputy mayor in
r917-29.
JERUSALEM—A 72-bed student
hostel at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem's Levy Eshkol Faculty
of Agriculture in Rehovot was
dedicated by its donor, Mrs. Else
Bonem, of Chicago and Miami
Beach. The building bears the
name of Mrs. Bonem and of Erna
and Leo Bonem, her brother-in-law
and his wife. The Bonem family
are in the cattle farming and
meat production business.
Stressing the importance of Mrs.
Else Bonem's work in fulfilling
Israel's human needs, University
President Avraham Harman told
the gathering attending the dedica-
tion that she was a member of the
Women of the Book Society, a
section of the American Friends of
the Hebrew University which sup-
ports the Jewish National and
University Library on the univer-
sity's Givat Ram campus in Jeru-
salem, and a Builder of Scopus-
i.e., one of a dedicated group of
women who each pledge a mini-
mum of $1,000 to aid the univer-
sity's scholarship program for
needy and outstanding students.
Mrs. Bonem's work for Israel also
includes the Bonem Health Center
in Ramie.
The Hebrew University Faculty
of Agriculture, Harman told the
audience, was the only such aca-
demic institution in the country.
The scientific revolution in Israeli
farming, he added, had begun here
in Rehovot, on the faculty's cam-
pus, which centralized within it
the forces of modernization in
agriculture and provided the coun-
try's farming sector with a vital
underpinning of scientific knowl-
edge and discipline. The faculty
is growing steadily and the uni-
versity welcomes this growth, he
asserted, but, at the same time,
growth presents fresh difficulties
not least of which is the need for
student housing.
Prof. S. F. Monselise, the fac-
uly's dean, recalled that when the
faculty had opened, close to 30
years ago, it had an annual intake
of 12 students. The first-year class
in 1970-71 will be 144, he revealed.
Total enrollment at the end of the
current academic year stands at
726, among whom are substantial
numbers studying in both special
and regular courses. Prof. Mon-
selise referred to the growing need
for specialization in agriculture
and stressed the necessity to in-
crease the teaching faculty beyond
the present figure of 90. He also
pointed out the need for more
space, and more equipment and
more books.

I Can't Hate the Jew
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arta Feature)
In Mount Vernon, New York, a
Negro publisher of a Negro news-
paper could no longer stand the
artificial wedge being inserted be-
tween his people and the Jews and
he delivered himself of this poem
which he printed on the front page
of his paper. "The Westchester
Observer." Ben Anderson's poem
speaks for itself. It's called "The
Jew and Me."
I cannot hate the Jew
I'd be foolish if rdid.
I'd not be thinking as an adult,
But as some pathetic kid.
campus, he said, now provide ac-
commodation for 167 students.
One third of the population of
Israel attends either kindergarten,
elementary or high school, and the
figure of 800,000 children thus en-
rolled in the school system repre-
sents an eight-fold increase over
the situation in 1948, when the
state of Israel came into being.
These figures were revealed by
Israel Deputy Minister of Educa-
tion Aharon Yadlin, at the corner-
stone laying ceremony for the
Samuel and Betty Katzin Chicago
Building for the School of Educa-
tion due to rise soon on the Mount
Scopus campus of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem.
Yadlin also told the gathering
that the ministry of education
would look increasingly to its faith-
ful partner, the *university's school
of education, in the current decade
when the number of high school
teachers must he doubled and even
tripled. Ile said the educator's
basic task today was to ensure
that Israel's
children continue to
•
receive the best possible educa-
tion, even in conditions of tension
and in areas where lessons must
often be conducted in the shelters
as border settlements come under
daily shelling attacks. The deputy
minister emphasized the role edu-
cation plays in Israel not only in
ensuring a steady supply of *the

I won't buy anti-Semitism.
I won't nor should you.
What better friend have we got
Than we find in the Jew?
,
When everybody kicked US 'round.
Like we were bits of dust,
Who were the only ones
To lend a hand to us?
When we sought to break the spell
Of slavery's cruel trance.
Of all the peoples in the land.
Who gave black folk a chance?
Perhaps you can't remember,
But, by God, I do.
The only hand stretched out to us
Was that of the Jew
Long before we ever dreamed
Of a Civil Right.
Who stood beside the black man
In his almost helpless plight?
When the black man lived in fear
Of the hateful, rampant mob,
Who gave the black man help?
Who gave him a lob?
And even to this very day.
While bigots pierce our hide,
What other "cousins" will you find
Standing by our side?
Who stood with our valiant kids
In school the other night?
Think for just a little while,
And get your logic right!
Who supported Dr. King.
Roy Wilkins and the CORE?
I cannot hate Jewish folk.
Too well I know the score.
The Jew is In the vanguard
Of the fight for freedom's cause,
The champion of democracy,
Of just and equal laws.
I cannot stand for bigotry.
For hate against the Jew,
I still remember Cheney
And Schwermer and Goodman too.
Bravo, Mr. Ariderion!

Sellassie I University in Addis
Ababa a joint microbiological
training program with the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
The official ratification took
place July 15, when the agreement
was signed by Dr. Mekonen Keb-
ret, vice president for academic
affairs of the Haile Sellassie I
University, and Avraham Harman,
president of the Hebrew Univer-
sity, where the ceremony was
held.
The underlying philosophy of
the new approach to technical aid
lies in the gradual "Ethiopianiza-
tion" of the five-year program by
a staged transference of the new
microbiological unit to the Ethio-
pian University staff members.
Upon the conclusion of the five-
year period, all teaching and re-
search in microbiology at the Haile
Sellassie I University would be
assumed by the Ethiopians.
The new agreement is the larg-
est university aid program ever
undertaken by Israel and will
provide the necessary scale and
concentration of effort, as well
as the continuity frequently
absent in past technical assist-
ance programs.
Israel's program of technical
aid, particularly to Africa, has
been in progress for well over a
decade.
In many developing countries,
infectious diseases such as malaria,
yellow fever and typhus caused
by micro-organisms are wide-
spread and constitute a dangerous
menace to public health. Their
eradication is of the utmost con-
cern to public officials throughout
the developing world.
Having developed a prominent
body of research scientists in the
field of microbiology, the Hebrew
University is well equipped to em-
bark upon a program of this na-
ture and magnitude.
In addition, many infectious
diseases prevalent elsewhere in
the world have been eradicated in
Israel as a result of the concerted
attack upon them, supported by
research in microbiology and allied
fields.
During the first phase of the
program, due to start in Febru-
ary, the first team of Israeli
teachers from the institute of
microbiology at the Hebrew Uni-
versity will arrive in Addis Ababa
for a four-month period, and
every year subsequently during
the five-year period, to conduct the
courses to be offered yearly.
The second phase of the joint
program will include training for
Ethiopian students and staff at
the institute of microbiology at

NEW YORK (JTA)—"It's being
openly stated in South Africa that
two secret Nazi centers are oper-
ating in the apartheid country,"
Atlas magazine reports in its cur-
rent issue.
One, formed near the end of
World War II, is comprised of
former SS members, and the
other, called "The Spider," is a
successor to the pre-war rightist
organization called "the Link,"
the magazine says.
The aim of the latter seems to
be "to unite Nazi sympathizers all
over the world," the magazine
says, adding: "Reportedly more
Nazis are now hiding in the Re-
public of South Africa than in any
country outside Europe with the
exception of Argentina."
The magazine also reported that

the Hebrew University who will
constitute the future corps of
qualified teachers at Haile Sel-
lassie I University upon the ter-
mination of the program. Close
to 100 Ethiopian from various
disciplines, some of whom are
currently studying abroad, will
participate in the two-fold effort.
The high professional standard
of the Haile Sellassie I Univer-
sity's school of medicine is inter-
nationally acknowledged. With the
establishment of the new micro-
biological unit, a vital link in its
already extensive program of
medical education will be forged.
Once the program gets under
way, plans for expansion of its
scope are anticipated. Such expan-
sion may take the form of joint
research projects of mutual inter-
est to both countries, particularly
finding new sources of protein-
rich foods.
In addition to the contribution
of the two universities, a consider-
able share of the sponsorship will
be undertaken by the ministry for
foreign affairs of the government
of Israel, within the framework of
its technical cooperative program,
through its department for inter-
national cooperation.
