Last Friday, David Azbel, a professor of technical sci- ences, Vitaly Rubin, an au- thority on ancient China, and Vladimir Galatsky, an artist, began their hunger strike in Azbel's apartment as "an act of despair and protest" against the Soviet Union's failure to grant them exit visas, accordin g to the Greater New York Confer- ence on Soviet Jewry. Benjamin Gorochov, a script-writer and film direc- tor, also was due to partici- pate in the hunger strike. According to the SSSJ, Gorochov is not participating because he and his wife, Sophia, received verbal assurances from Soviet au- thorities that their visas will be granted. An effort is under way on the campus of the University of Michigan—in concert with other universities throughout the country — to call atten- tion, particularly to Rubin's plight. Rubin, 50, a specialist in ancient Chinese philosophy and history, applied for a visa to leave for Israel with his wife Ines two years ago. His application was rejected, and he wi th fired from his position with the Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow. At U. of M., the effort in Rubin's behalf has been led by Frank Shulman, bibliog- rapher in Asian studies, and Prof. Rhoades Murphey, pro- fessor of Chinese geography and associate director of the Center of Chinese Studies. They joined in a nationwide campaign to obtain signa- tures on petitions that were sent to -the Soviet govern. ment. There were 90 U. of M. names among the 1,300 signatures on the petitions, including many well-known scholars. The campaign now has taken the form of educating the publiC and of appealing , to Washington to intervene in Rubin's behalf.
