Jewish Campus Has Hopeful
Side, 2 Hillel Directors Agree

When 40 Jewish college
students, many from nontra-
ditional homes, voluntarily
study Talmud, and when an-
other 300 - elect Judaica
studies, that's news. Not the
kind of news that Key 73 is
making, but certainly of
more lasting effect, says the
assistant director of the
Hillel Foundation at the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
Rabbi Joel Poupko shared
the Jewish Community Coun-
cil delegate assembly podium
last week with Rabbi Max
Kapustin, Wayne State Uni-
versity Hillel director, and
Gordon Silverman, college
student coordinator for the
- Jewish Center. The panel
took "A View of the Jewish
Campus" at Cong. Beth
Shalom.
labbi Poupko character-
Jd the campus mood as
tending toward "privatism,"
an interest in self. "The
counter-culture scene is dead;
the social action thing is
dead; the political action
thing is dead. The Jewish
kids have changed, too. Now
they want skating parttes
and the bagel-lox brunches
that we hated so much. Jew-
ish boys want to meet Jewish
girls, and that's a beautiful
thing.
"The mass of kids is like
the general community," he
emphasized. "To expect 100
per cent attendance" at Sab-
bath services and "a real
commitment to Jewish values
and education among the
total Jewish student popula-
tion is an unrealistic 'goal."
As for the effect of Key
73, "I predict a bombout.
The evangelists haven't the
sophistication to change Jew-
ish students." He acknowl-
edged that "we'll lose some
Jews . . . just as we always
have."
In the 25 years that he has
served as Hine' director at

WSU, Rabbi Kapustin has
seen Jewish students go
through many changes. After
World War II, they were in-
different to their Jewishness.
But after 1948, Israel's crea-
tion provided "an almost
ready-made identification for
the Jewish student — an
emotional identification with-
out any intellectual base."
In 1967, said Rabbi Kapus-
tin, "there was an unbeliev-
able experience on campus.
Some said it was a turning
point in the consciousness and
action perimeter for the stu-
dents and the community.
"But that's not true. In-
stant changes don't stay."
When all calmed down, how-
ever, "what remained was a
serious search for content to
supply that which is miss-
ing." He noted that there is
much religious exploration
going on "but the ultimate
positive result will depend
on the American Jewish
community and its concern
for the campus."
Silverman agreed that the
students involved in Key 73
are marginal. At the same
time, "the number of stu-
dents in Jewish activity is
very small . . . most youth
don't even have a negative
feeling toward Judaism." He
urged the Jewish community
to "reach out and make
them part of our commu-
nity."
During the business por-
tion of the assembly, Council
President Hubert Sidlow an-
nounced that the 1974 plen-
ary of the National Jewish
Community Relations Advis-
ory Council will be held in
Detroit.
Judge Lawrence Gubow,
chairman of the Council
nominating committee, read
the list of officer and execu-
tive committee nominees and
advised those who wish to
submit names by petition to
do so by March 29.

Council Expresses Fear at Cuts
in Programs by Administration

The Jewish Community
Council testified Monday at
a federal hearing held by the
equal opportunities subcom-
mittee of the U. S. House
Committee on Education and
Labor.
The two-day session was
held in the City-County Build-
ing to hear testimony on the
Office of Equal Opportunity
for the seven-state Midwest
region.
Speaking for the Jewish
Community Council, Mrs.
Beatrice Rowe said, "As the
roster of community develop-
ment, educational, health,
and manpower training pro-
grams terminated by the ad-
'nistration grows, we feel
Teasing anxiety about the
effect of their termination
on the economic and social
health of the entire commu-
nity. We are concerned about
the dismantlement of 0E0
and the vacuum created
without the beginnings of al-
ternative programs."
Mrs. Rowe spoke of Coun-
cil's involvement with the
Mayor's Commission on
Human Resource Develop-
ment through the provision
of volunteers and financial
support to the General
Equivalency Degree program
and Focus: Hope, the food
prescription program.
