A woman volunteer at the San
Francisco Jewish Community Cen-
ter has reported that her effort to
start a women's liberation project
at the center, pursued intensively
last summer and fall, was a flop.
But she emerged from the experi-
ence still convinced that "there are
many reasons why such a program
should be started at centers
around the country."
The experience was reported in
the Jewish Community Center Pro-
gram Aids, a publication of the
National Jewish Welfare Board.
The volunteer, who was not
identified in the report, said the
experience began when she offered
last fall to start a "rap" group at
the center, open to the general
public as well as to center mem-
bers, as the hoped-for start of a
women's liberation group at the
center. She reported that the pur-
pose of the "rap - group was to
allow people to discuss the issues
currently espoused by the Wom-
en's Liberation movement. Eight
weekly sessions were held, each
focused on a specific topic such
as women and economics, women
and psychology and similar topics.
She reported that each session was
well attended but that "we were
not able to develop continuity."
The group failed to achieve the
goal of "serving as a base for a
larger on-going program at the
center."

Asked by newsmen if Israel
would permit visits from Egypt
for medical purposes, Dayan re-
plied he doubted the Egyptian gov-
ernment would allow that and, in
any case, no such applications
had been received. Commenting
on the tranquility along the canal
zone because of the year-old cease
fire, Dayan said, "I like it this
way. I hope it continues.

ACROSS FROM TEL-TWELVE MALL

Undaunted ; the volunteer
proceeded with plans for a study
group in the fall which' she
hoped would "supply the struc-
ture and continuity needed. The
course had publicity but there
was no significant registration."
Evaluating the reasons for the
lack of interest, the volunteer
cited four key problems:

She said that the center was
"not known as a place where
people take intensive courses;"
that university extension credit
was not given to participants;
that the Women's Liberation pro-
gram "is already centered else-
where in our community;" and that
the Women's Liberation movement
"is essentially a political movement
while the Jewish Community Cen-
ter, although sometimes providing
a forum for political views, is not
thought of in political contexts."
Nevertheless, she asserted, she
still believed that "a course and
eventually a program centered
around the issues of Women's Lib-
eration" was a real possibility. She
added: "There are many reasons
why such a program should be
started at centers around the coun-
try but such an endeavor needs
advance planning, publicity and
s.uppOrt to get on its feet. It cannot
be accomplished on a volunteer
basis."
