vice president for university rela-

Agency that after a day-long meet-

discussed, the trustees decided to
confirm Hofstra's policy of com-

students.
According to Adm. Miller,
that policy was adopted 10 years:

"Rockwell spoke and laid the

Ann Arbor Mayor
Joins Protest for
Soviet Jewry
The Washtenaw County Jewish
Community Council, in a report
to The Jewish News, said some
250 Jews and Gentiles participated
in its recent demonstration at a
performance of the Osipov Bala-
laika Orchestra in Ann Arbor.
Mayor Robert J. Harris and
three Christian clergymen were
among the marchers, who were
protesting the persecution of Soviet
Jewry..
Mayor Harris, who is Jewish,
marched, despite the cold, for an
hour before the performance. "An
estimated 1,000,000 Jews want to
leave Russia," he told reporters.
"This is the only pressure that
can be brought to bear in attempts
to release Soviet Jews."
The clergymen included the
Rev. Joseph Kunti, of St. Mary's
Student Chapel; the Rev. Calvin
Malefyte of University Reformed
Church; and the Rev. Raymond
Saxe of Grace Bible Church.
Rev. Saxe, who said his father
was Jewish, commented that this
was the first time he had ever
demonstrated but that he took his
stand because of a "personal af-
finity for the Jewish people" and
because he is anti-Communist.
Also protesting were Rabbis Bruce
Warshal of Temple Beth Emeth
and Allan Kensky of Beth Israel.
Congregation.
The demonstration was sponsor-
ed by the Soviet Jewry Committee
