"Tv. ••—• woe • The Birth of a Free Jewish University The location of the Valley Cities Jewish Community Center, a branch of the Jewish Centers As- sociation of Los Angeles and an affiliate of JWB, would make it difficult for the Center's board and staff to forget about the college generation even if they wanted to ignore them. A two-year commu- nity college located directly across the street from the center, which houses the Valley College - Hillel Foundation, was accustomed to the sight of college students in its building. Early in May 1969, a small group of Jewish students met with the center's director and advised him they were members of a new orga- nization known as "Jews for a Holiday Greetings WELDING ENGINEERS GENERAL WELDING TY E-3637 4489-14th at Grand River JUDITH CHICOREL 21830 Beverly, Oak Park wishes all her family and friends a Happy and Healthy New Year 8a00000000000000000006.

In the initial contact with the center director, members of the group described a program, com- memorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which they conducted on the campus of Valley College. They also indicated that they needed to know more about Judaism since their own sense of identity as Jews was shaky. During this conversation the idea of a Free University of Jewish Studies occurred to the center director, but at that time he did not mention this idea to the representatives of the new group. The 60 participants in this meet- ing received the idea of the Free University of Jewish Studies en- thusiastically. Many of them con- firmed that they knew nothing about Judaism, and they had dis- covered that this was a handicap for them in their contacts with other students. They wanted to know if this university could be their own rather than the creation of a group of adults who might be associated with the Jewish Corn- Happy New Year to All JUNIORS CORNED BEEF 'N RYE Delicatessen Party Tray Catering 1216 New location: Griswold WO 1.0756 New Year Greetings Leo Xniglit gliotograpity • Weddings • Movies • Bar Mitzvas • Portraits 26571 W. 12 Mile Rd.

The center director suggested that the Free University be completely in The ccurses actually began in the second week of July and con- tinued for 10 weeks. Each course had an adequate registration, with an average enrollment of 15 per class. The course "Socialist The- ory and Jewish Thought" had the greatest enrollment; however, the attendance in this course grad- ually dwindled while the attend- ance in the other three courses remained consistently high. A core group is presently plan- ning to extend the Free University into another season. They have agreed to continue with the same four courses that were begun dur- ing the summer but they have also agreed that the courses need to be structured with a more specific curriculum and with specific fac- ulty to handle material with which the students are familiar. This seems to be a program idea that appeals at least to some Jew- ish students who have detected a serious lack in their past ex- periences and who understand that only a deeper knowledge can lead to a more positive Jewish identi- fication. In a larger sense, these Jewish students may recognize that they have learned something from their black brothers and sis- ters: such learning must be rein- forced by scholarship and hard work; it cannot be extended by wishful thinking. ••• ■ mmor • ...
