Colleges Given Boycott Guides

NEW YORK (JTA) --
Concerned by efforts of

higher learning, the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee has
sent a proposed guideline to
187 leading colleges and
universities aimed at pre-
venting these schools from
agreeing to discriminatory
practices or biased courses
when accepting foreign
money.

Ira Silverman, director of
special programs for the
AJCommittee, said there
were no objections to
"legitimate" programs of
study of the Arab or Islamic
world. He said there were
objections to programs
which displayed a definite
anti-Israel slant as could be
seen in their courses and
lecturers.
Silverman pointed speci-
fically to the $750,000 re-
ceived by Georgetown Uni-
versity in Washington, D.C.
from Libya for an Arab
studies center and the $1
million given the Univer-
sity of Southern California
by Saudi Arabia for Arab
studies, both with the pro-
viso that Middle East
studies would not include
-Israel.
Silverman noted that
not only was Georgetown
honoring Muammar
Qaddafi, who was the
"underwriter" of ter-
rorist activities through-
out the world as well as
the university program,
but was also being asked
to accept a pro-Arab
slant in its courses. He
said that Georgetown
said it was willing to re-
ceive Jewish or Israeli
funds for a program on
the other side.
Silverman stressed that
Jewish groups would not be
"sucked in" to trying to
match Arab programs, since
the important point was

SMALL BEQUESTS
BUILD A
STRONG ISRAEL

If the tradition of' including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of land .
development, social welfare, and justice.

as

A bequest to the Jewish Notional Fund
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.

You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to aft)restation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons
dear to you.

that no course should be
slanted but be based on aca-
demic standards.
He stressed, however,
that Georgetown; a Catholic
university, was not anti-
Jewish, was creating a good
Judaic studies program and
had many professors close to
Israel on its faculty.
Another concern ex-
pressed was the require-
ment that colleges accept-
ing Arab funds exclude
Jews from their programs.
The proposed
guidelines would have
the university or college
state that it will not dis-
criminate on grounds of
race, sex, religion ,or na-
tional origin in hiring or
assigning personnel; or
in the administration of
grant4, contracts or other
agreements with foreign
entities and will not allow
these entities to discrimi-
nate against the school's
personnel.
Also, the school will not
discriminate in the admis-
sion of students to the pro-
grams. It will not accept any
grant, contract or other
agreemeht with a foreign
entity which would require
cancelling programs or con-
tacts with other countries.
The AJCommittee
recommends that all poten-
tial donors be given a copy of
the guidelines and that a
university official be given
the responsibility for
monitoring compliance
with the guidelines.

Boycott Law
Agreement

WASHINGTON — After
months- of private dis-
cussions, American
businessmen and Jewish
groups have re-ached
agreement to support an ex-
tension, without any
changes, of the U.S. law
that prohibits Americans
from participating in the
Arab boycott of Israel.
Agreement was reached
by the Business Roundtable
and the American Jewish
Committee, American
Jewish Congress and the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith.
Commerce Secretary
Juanita Kreps recently
told Congress that the
Carter Administraiton
also will support an ex-
tension of the law.
The Roundtable, how-
ever, said that it will con-
tinue to seek repeal of the
Ribicoff amendment to the
1977 tax reform law, which
withholds tax benefits from
businesses "cooperating" in
the Arab boycott.
