tha "as a matter of gen-
eral policy" he does not
comment on the sub-
stance of publications of
faculty members and that
"in the ordinary case"
correction of erroneous
views is best left to scho-,
lars in the particular'
field.
Continuing, the letter
stated "This is not an or-
dinary case. The as-
sociate professor pub-
lished a conclusion which
is an insult and affront
not only to the living sur-
vivors of the Holocaust
and to their families,
friends and others with
religious or ethnic ties',
but to all of us who share
their deep feelings of
moral outrage. Once the
publication did receive
notoriety, this became an
extraordinary situation
in which officers of the
university did express
their personal indigna-
tion.
"First Amendment and
other rights of faculty
members raise complex
questions which warrant
lengthy discussions. But I
do not want such discus-
sions to obscure my per-
sonal strongly-held view,
which is shared by Thomas
G. Ayers, chairman of our
board, deploring the
thesis advanced by Mr.
Butz and the notoriety and
pain which has resulted."
The letter was a
follow-up to an earlier
meeting between Strotz
and university provost
Raymond Mack with a de-
legation of eight Jewish
community leaders rep-
resenting the PAC, and
headed by Epstein.
At the meeting, Strotz
indicated to the PAC de-
legation that Northwest-
ern is planning to sponsor
a series of four lectures on
the Holocaust beginning
March 28. Arrangements
for the lectures have been
made in consultation
with Rabbi Marc

Soviet Jew Makes
U.S. Music Debut
NEW YORK — A
Russian-Jewish immig,
rant who left a thriving
career as a violinist in the
Soviet Union is starting
all over again in her new
homeland. Anna Pelekh,
a pupil of David Oistrakh,
will make her American
debut in a recital at Town
Hall in New York on Sun-
day.
Anna Pelekh. — who
continues to use her
maiden name profession-
ally — emigrated from
Leningrad with her vio-
linist husband, Emanuel
Boder, and their violin
student son, Alexander,
about a year ago. With
the aid of HIAS, the
world-wide migration
agency, the Boders were
brought to New York,
where they received re-
settlement assistance —
housing, maintenance,
vocational counseling, in-
tensive English instruc-
tion —,from NYANA, the
New York Association for
New Americans.

vices. The university will
subsequently publish the
four papers.
In a related develop-
ment, the Hillel Founda-
tion Ad Hoc Committee
on the Holocaust ran an
ad in the Daily North-
western, asking students
na to regi-ster for Butz'
spring quarter courses in
Electrical Engineering.
"It's not a boycott to get
Butz fired — it's simply
. an action for students to
be able to express their
moral outrage," said
David Strauss, president
of the Hillel student
steering committee.
