March 17 at Hebrew Univer-
sity. This date also marks
the beginning of the second
trimester for the "regular"
academic year.
The special trimesters for
demobilized students will help
prevent their losing this
academic year. Departing
from regular procedure, the
university will institute a
summer trimester to enable
these students to complete
their studies on schedule.
Housing will be made avail-
able to them in university
dormitories.
Realizing that many may
be called up again during
the course of the academic
year, the university will give
them all possible considera-
tion in the matter of time-
tables and examination dates.
The 1973-74 and 1974-75
academic years will be con-
sidered one unit for purposes
of credit and examinations,
allowing mobilized students
to postpone some exams to
the following year.
If additional large groups
of students are released after
the start of the special tri-
mester, they will receive
extra tutorial help. The uni-
versity's academic staff has
volunteered to work through-
out the summer to meet their
needs.
The government' will pro-
vide full tuition (for this year
or next, at the student's
option) to every student who
has been on active duty for
75 days at any time since

in different fields. Some 100
faculty members have vol-

In the university's depart-

war widows to help- them
manage their estates.
Settlements in the Jordan
Valley also enjoy the service
of volunteers from the uni-
versity. Members of its
faculty, student body and
administrative staff travel on
a regular basis to some of
these settlements, where
many men are still on active
duty, to help save the crops.
The ministries of labor and
education have recently come
to an agreement with the
students' union to institute a
system of national service
for university students and
academic staff who have not
been mobilized for military
service. Volunteers will be
solicited and paid for work in
industry, agriculture, public
services and the ports — all
branches where there is a
shortage of hands because of
mobilization.
