In the Hebrew University of Jerusalem 350 students have more dormitories in the campus and its vicinity than the Jewish students. Each student who gets a dormitory signs an obliga- tion that he will take part in guarding the campus, other- wise he has to leave. Recently, an Arab stu- dent, Ibrahim, received an order to leave his dormitory after he had refused to take part in guard duty. About 200 Arab srudents organ- ized a demonstration on the campus carrying slogans against the "racist" state of Israel. Ibrahim refused to leave the dormitory, He argued that since Arabs in Maxwell House Coffee Honors Famous Jewish-American Patriots HAYM SALOMON 1740-1785 Financier • - Banker of the American Revolution • Patriot aym Salomon was a fervent patriot whose love of liberty and business acumen combined to make him the financial hero in the War of Inde- pendence. Born in Poland in • 1740. he was forced to flee that country in 1772, due to his fight for freedom, along with Pulaski and Kosciusko who became military heroes of the Revolution. Salomon prospered from the very start in America, doing business with wealthy loyalists while joining the Sons of Liberty, a group of revolutionary patriots. He was twice arrested by the British..but managed to escape execution bOth times: finally fleeing to Philadelphia. Salomon's reputation for honesty and skill in trade, especially foreign, attracted Robert Morris, then Superintendent of Finance, who called on him for help in raising money to wage . the war. arid later to save the emerging nation from financial collapse. Morris' diary indicates some 75 'transactions were made by the two men between August 1781 and April 1784. As President Calvin Coolidge said of Haym Salomon: "He negotiated for Robert Morris all the loans raised in France and Holland. - pledged his personal faith and fortune for enor- mous amounts, and personally advanced large sums to such men as James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Baron Steuben, General St. Clair and many other patriot leaders who testified that without his aid they could not have carried on the cause. - Salomon's place in history is memorialized by a 20-foot high statue standing at Wabash and Wacker in Chicago. Unveiled in 1941, the statue depicts three great Revolutionaries, George Washington in the middle, flanked by Robert Morris and Haym Salomon. It is a tell- ing tribute to the Jewish-American patriot whose life was dedicated to his family, friends and country. - A tradition in Amcncan-Jewish homes for half a century K CERTIFIED KOSHER Good to the Last Drop._ GENERAL 1.05 SEND FOR EXCITING BOOKLET Honoring 1776 and Famous Jews in American History You and your children will be thrilled to read the fascinating stories in this booklet about your Jewish hernage in America—the profiles of many "historic"- Jews who made notable contributions in the creation and building of with none our nation.

The leaders of the Jew- ish students in Jerusalem, David Asolin and Ariela Randel, declared categori- cally, that Jewish students are not obliged to guard the lives of the Arab stu- dents and that all students have to participate in the guard duties. They ac- cused the Arab Students Association of being radi- cal and using each inci- dent on the campus for pol- itical reasons. Equal rights — equal obligations — the Jewish leaders maintained. They asked Ibrahim, if Arab students would help Arab terrorist attacking the dormitories on the campus? Ibrahim replied that he was against murder. He was asked which terrorist activi- ties the Arab students would support? Ibrahim-re- fused to answer, but re- peated that Arab students would not guard the campus with arms. When Ibrahim was asked if in Syria such a thing could happen, that Jewish students would demon- strate and could walk ar- ound afterwards free, he an- swe•ed, "In Syria Jewish 'students are not compelled to guard the campus of the university . . ." The leaders of the Arab students threatened they would appeal to the High. Court of Justice, if the Arab students- are compelled 'to guard the campUs or if con- ditions are adopted against them, if they refuse to do it. Youngest Auschwitz Survivor Feted by Giscard d'Estaing WASHINGTON (JTA) — Samuel Pisar, the youngest survivor of Auschwitz, and a U.S. citizen by special act of Congress, was the personal guest of French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing when the French leader vis- ited the site of the infamous Nazi concentration camp June 18 for a ceremony com- memorating its liberation by the Soviet army 30 years ago. During the ceremony, Pisar, who is an interna- tional lawyer in Paris and Washington, issued an ad- dress titled "Never Again," Auschwitz 1975. It began with the state- ment: "To return at your side, Mr. President, to this altar of the Holocaust, where as a bdy of 14 I died so many deaths, lived so many tortures and humilia- tions, where all I ever loved was reduced to cinders, is an experience that staggers the soul. But it is also a journey from tragedy to triumph. By your presence here to- day, the date on which from London, 35 years ago, Charles de Gaulle's call . to resistance redeemed the honor of France, you add a new dimension to the his- toric meaning of the 18th of June." Earlier this month. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff (D.- Conn.) entered this address in full into the Congres- sional Record. In his address, Pisar recounted the horrors of Auschwitz and declared: "If they seem relevant to- day it is because we dare not forget that the past can also be a prolouge, that amidst the ashes of Ausch- witz we behold the true specter of doomsday — a warning of what might still lie ahead . . . "Mr. President, in this cursed and sacred place you are facing your greatest audience. Here you stand in the presence of four million innocent souls. In their name, and with the author- ity of the number engraved Woe to the dough which the baker testifies against. —The Talmud on my arm, I say to you that if they could answer your noble words they would cry out: 'Never again !' Never again between Frenchman and German, between Turk and Greek, between Indian and Pakistani. Never again between Arab and Jew . . ." Giscard d'Estaing, in his own remarks at the cere= mony, stated: "Who can say, .even here, that the worst is not yet to come? . . . We must insure that the youth of the world will not forget this horror." The internationally famed lawyer is author of "Weapons of Peace" and "Transactions Between East and West," prefaced by the French President in 1973. Pisar's address was restated to President Ford when the American chief executive visited the site of Auschwitz on July 29. "We are not enemies of the university and Jewish stu- dents," they maintained. "We are against the Israeli regime. We are Palestinians and we are not ready to guard the Hebrew Univer- sity." The leaders of the Jew- ish students referred to the contract which each stu- dent had to sign, that he was ready.. to guard the campus and the dormito- ries. The president of the uni- versity, Abraham Harman, has met the leaders of the Arab students and rejected. their claim that guarding of dormitories was illegal. He told them, that the situation was untenable, that part of the students, who have also to do military service during their studies, should be ob- liged to guard the campus and dormitories, whereas others should be exempt. - AL KLINE • DALGLEISH CADILLAC 6160 CASS AVE.
