leave rather than stand
compulsory guard duty with
'their Jewish dormitory

ciple of conscience" and
noted that Israeli Ar'abs are
not conscripted for compul-
sory duty in the armed
forces.
The Ein Kgrem campus
houses mainly pre-medical
students. ,
The Arab students had
volunteered to perform
non-security related serv-
ices on the campus such as
first aid in lieu of guard
duty. But the University
Student Union, dominated
by the militant Likud and
National Religious Party,
rejected the offer.
They insisted that in ad-
dition to first ,aid duties, the
Arabs patrol 'the campus.
Freedom is man's capac-
ity to take a hand in his own
develpment. It is our capac-
ity to mold ourselves.

Many. trading ships. . •
Known for religious liberalism. Newport had
become the home of a substantial number of -
capable, well-educated Jews, among the most
affluent in the Colonies.
In 1752, from Portugal, came Aaron. Lopez,
described later by Ezra Styles, President of
Yale University, as "a merchant of first emi-

ably sUrpassedby no merchant in America. - In
addition, Lopez was known as an active force
in cementing friendly relations betWeen •faiths:'
He earned the respect of Christians, as well as
Jews, and no ship ever left his dock on either's
Sabbath. Lopez himself laid the first corner-
stone of Newport's famous - TourO Synagogue
in 1759.
Lopez was forced to flee Newport to Massa-
chusetts when the British attacked. -
During the War. the city suffered such heavy
losses : that it never recovered. Neither did'
Lopez _who lost virtually all he had acquired
during his years - of 'successful trading. When
attempting to return to Newport after inde-
pendence was won. he was tragically drowned
in a freak accident. •
Ezra Styles eulogized him . ."He did business
with the greatest ease and clearness; always
carried about him a sweetness of behavior, a
calm urbanity. an agreeable and Unaffected
politeness of manners."
A fitting tribute to Aaron Lopez—one of many
Jewish-American patriots worthy of remem-
brance.
