Columbia University Honors _
Physicist Isidore I. Rabi
NEW YORK—Dr. Isidore
I. Rabi. Jewish Nobel lau-
reate in physics, was paid
homage by Columbia Uni-
versity last week. Dr. Rabi
obtained his doctorate at
Columbia 50 years ago, and
his role in the development
of physics, in addition to the
Nobel Prize, have included
a half century of teaching,
leadership and advisory
roles on the national and
international level, accord-
ing to Walter Sullivan in the
New York Times.
Now 80 years old, Dr.
Rabi is still active on the
Columbia campus. He was
born in Rymamw, Poland,
but his family moved to
Brooklyn when he was a
small child.
Soon after obtaining his
doctorate in 1927, he went to
Europe where the "new
physics," based on Eins-
tein's relativity theories and
the quantum theory of
behavior on the atomic
level, was taking shape.
On his return to Columbia
in 1929, he became a cham-
pion of the new physics and
helped set the stage for the
epochal developments that
followed, culminating in the
release of atomic energy. It
was in the basement of a
Columbia laboratory that
such a release was demon-
strated on this side of the
Atlantic.
During last weekend a
symposium on the role of
science in contemporary
society was conductea in
honor of Dr. Rabi, which
included several Nobel lau-
reates, and the present and
former Presidential science
advisers.
The university president,
Dr. William J. McGill, also
announced the creation of a
physics professorship in Dr.
Rabi's name.
Dr. Rabi won his Nobel
Prize in 1944 for his discov-
ery of the resonance method
of determining the magnetic
properties of the atomic
nucleus. From 1952 to 1956
he was chairman of the
General Advisory Com-
mittee of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Among his many other roles
on the national scene was
the chairmanship of the Sci-
ence Advisory Committee to
President Eisenhower.

It's tinie again to cele-
brate this day
When we give Thanks to
Thee,
So, first of all, I want to
thank you for Israel,
Odi land where we are free!
Free, God? No, not really!
For the sound of guns are
still heard,
And the fighting goes on,
The killing, the heartaches,
The anguish, and the tears!
No, God! We're not free
yet!
But I thank You for Our
Land,
And the promises you have
given,
For the desert blooms in a
mighty way
For ALL the world to see;
That they might know
This is OUR Land
And one day we WILL be
free!

TUNIS (ZINS) — The
Suez Canal has regained its
position as a major water-
way, but fewer oil tankers
now use it. These observa-
tions were made by Nash-
our Ahmed Mashour, chair-
man of the Suez Canal
Authority, who said that
traffic through the canal
has risen to an average of 55
ships a day, or almost the
average that used before
the Six-Day War. Oil tank-
ers now account for only 40
percent of the canal's busi-
ness, compared with 75 per-
cent before the 1967 war.
