other Arab governments to break with Iran over its de facto recognition
of Islac!. Jordanian Premier Hazza Majali called Nasser's condemna-
tion of the Shah of Iran "irresponsible."

grain and flour to Egypt and $17,000,000 worth to Syria, for a total to
the two of $330,000,000-plus. The U.S. also loaned Egypt $7,000,000 for

Pope John XXIII continued to expunge offensive language from
the conversion ritual, deleting the phrase: "You should abhor Hebrew
perfidy and reject Hebrew superstition."

tion of America, said "the Jewish vote is an unorganized but potent
reality," and that "American Jews are in this respect no different

IDLENESS
I love idleness. I love to busy
myself about trifles, to begin a
hundred things and not finish one
of them, to come and go as my
fancy bids me, to change my plan
every moment, to follow a fly in
all its circlings, to try and uproot
a rock to see what is underneath,
eagerly to begin on a 10-years'
task and to gve it up after 10
minutes: in short, to fritter away
the whole day inconsequentially
and incoherently, and to follow
nothing but the whim of the mo-
ment.—Rousseau.
Up to 60 per cent of today's
crimes are associated with drug
abuse, estimates NARCO (Narcot-

ordinating Organization), a Torch

For the first time since the He-
brew University of Jerusalem in-
stituted its special summer ulpan
(intensive Hebrew course) fur
overseas students six years ago,
the language laboratory constitutes
one of the principle teaching aids.
Some 500 overseas students em-
barked on their ulpan course July
19 in three different locations:
some 200 complete beginners, the
majority of them from Canada and
the U.S., at Sde Boker in the Ne-
gev; another 150 (also from North
America, but with some basic
knowledge of Hebrew) at Ohalo, at
the southern tip of the Sea of Gali-
lee in the Beisan Valley; and a
similar number on the university's
Mount Scopus campus in Jeru-
salem.
The language laboratory includes
individual student cubicles equip-
ped with a tape recorder, micro-
phone and earphones which will
permit each student to progress at
his own pace.

complaints and conclusions re-
garding their year here. Some of
the more standard gripes were
about bureaucracy, inefficiency
and inflexibility. Some of the less
standard complaints were against
the library, that the university
is not a community, and that
there is a lack of intellectual
stimuli.
Asked what the most important
thing learned from the year was,
the students replied, among other
things, "about myself," "to think
seriously," "a bout patriotism,"
"about nonreligious Jews," and
"how to do with a lower Standard
of living."
As the most natural way of try-
ing to integrate the overseas stu-
dents, the Integration Department
encourages the continuation of spe-
cial activities such as seminars
and trips, which bring the overseas
students closer to Israeli life, as
well as suggesting his participation
in existing campus activities such
as dance, drama and chess clubs
which were not created specifically
for overseas students.

EXACTLY RIGHT FOR THE OCCASION
94 per cent come from North
America, 80 per cent have partici-
pated in Jewish and Zionist organ-
ization for 3-4 years, 44 per cent
had been to Israel before, and 56
per cent considered themselves
religious—which is a much higher
percentage of religious students
than that among the Israelis and
which indicates that awareness of
Jewish identity in the diaspora is
still very much linked with reli-
gion.
One of the chief obstacles on
the road toward integration is
age: 80 per cent of the overseas
students are 20 years old, which
makes them the junior of the
Israelis by 3-4 years. This prob-
lem is particularly acute for the
foreign male student who is
younger than the Israeli female
student.
For the American girl, this is
less of a problem since the age par
of 20:23 is about right.
Israeli students tend to general-
ize overseas students as over-privi-
leg e d and over-scholarshipped.
They also complain that 78 per
cent of overseas students enjoy
dormitory space—at the expense of
the Israelis. What they fail to
grasp is that it is a lot more dif-
ficult for a total newcomer to find
his way to private lodgings in a
foreign capital.
The indication is that overseas
students who choose to remain
after the first year tend to relin-
quish their dorm beds for lodgings
elsewhere.
Experience has shown that the
stereotypes notion tends to disinte-
grate with time as the two groups
get to know each other. Perhaps,
the overriding generalization which
can be gleaned from the study is
that too many North Americans of
too young an age come for too
short a period of time—at least as
far as the Israelis are concerned.
By the time the 20-year-old one-
year student has learned the lan-
guage and customs he is already
on the plane back.
The researcher's chief conclusion
is that the newcomer must be
brought to the Israeli. His curiosity
about Israelis should be sparked
in order to foster social inter-
course. The researchers also felt
that through the initiation of more
challenging programs the slow-
motion cause of absorption could
be 'enhanced.

JERUSALEM—The overseas stu-
dent has difficulty joining Israeli
student life although he does gain
much from his year of study in
Jerusalem, according to a survey
on "The Attitude of Overseas Stu-
dents Towards Israelis," the re-
sults of which were announced at
the recent annual meeting of the
Hebrew University Students Union
integration department.
The survey was based on the
campus life of 800 first-year over
seas students, 94 per cent of whom
represent 150 North American col-
leges with the remainder coming
from other places, mainly Europe.
A random sampling of 55 stu-
dents was taken for the survey by
25-year-old Aryeh Rotem, an under-
graduate student of education and
psychology and deputy co-ordina-
tor of the Student Union intergra-
tion department.
The department is headed by
Yeshayahu Pri-hen, a 24-year-old
BA student of sociology and econ-
omics; and in charge of its sec-
tion for East European student
affairs is Haim Slovo, also 24, who
is working toward a degree in
Russian studies and international
relations.
The meeting focused on the
interaction and contact between
Israelis and overseas students
and concluded that until now this
aim has not been crowned with
much success. The two groups
attend the same lectures at
which contact is, for the most
part, restricted.
Attempts at initiating joint pro-
grams have not proved very suc-
cessful because of the language
barrier and because the Israeli,
who is already overburdened with
financial, family and military
service problems, simply does not
have time.
Those overseas students who live
in dormitories are fortunate in that
they are thrust into an Israeli com-
munity which ultimately absorbs
them.
Some of the survey's conclusions
are that 34 per cent of the over-
seas students had absolutely no
contact with Israelis, and 56 per
cent claimed that not enough was
done for the newcomers, while
there were 39 complaints against
the university.
It also was stated that 82 per
cent were satisfied with the inte-
gration department, 54 per cent
felt closer to Israeli students than
they did toward non-Jewish stu-
dents in the home campuses, 80
per cent "felt in Israel like a Jew
in his homeland," 34 per cent plan
to settle here and 48 per cent are
considering the move.
The group is fairly homogenous:
