Harold Shapiro: A Profile of U-M President
Shapiro,
Harold
president-elect of the Uni-
versity of Michigan, is a
nationally-prominent
economist who takes the
time to be an active family
man, takes an interest in
U-M Hillel Foundation and
attends services at Beth Is-
rael Congregation in Ann
Arbor.
Shapiro is vice president
for academic affairs and a
member of the U-M faculty
for 15 years. He will become
U-M's 10th president on
Jan. 1.
His election by the U-M
regents was unanimous.
At 44, Shapiro will be-
come one of the youngest
presidents in the univer-
sity's 162-year history.
Shapiro chose to assume
office in January because "I
haven't thought out what
my role as president will
be."
"I plan to consult not only
with faculty and students,
but also with people around
the state and my colleagues
at other universities," he
said.
Shapiro holds an under-
graduate degree from
McGill University and
graduate degrees from
Princeton. He has experi-
ence in private business as
well as the academic com-
munity.
Shapiro is known for
his research and writing
in the field of economic
forecasting, public policy
analysis, and economet-
rics. For the past decade,
he and U-M economics
Prof. Saul H. Hymans
have directed the Re-
search Seminar in Quan-
titive Economics which
produces influential
forecasts of national and
regional economic ac-
tivity.

ing a pogrom in Bucharest

Invite to Terzi
by Indiana. U.
Is Protested
FORT WAYNE, Ind.
(JTA) — The Fort Wayne
Jewish Federation has pro-
tested to Indiana Univer-
sity against an invitation
extended to the Palestine
Liberation Organization
representative at the
United Nations, Zehdi
Labib Terzi, to speak there
on Nov. 27.
In letters addressed to Dr.
John Ryan, university
president, and Dr. Robert
O'Neil, vice president, Fed-
eration officials said the de-
cision by the university's
Memorial Union Board to
invite Terzi "is quite dis-
turbing 'to the Fort Wayne
Jewish community."
The letters stated that
Terzi "is hardly the type
of person one would ex-
pect to receive an invita-
tion from a public institu-
tion. His presence,
whether officially
sanctioned or not, places
Indiana University in an
unenviable limelight of
national prominence.
The situation is fraught
with risk and wrapped
with emotion. The result,
we fear, would not bene-
fit a discussion of the real
issues but further the
hatred and venom his
organization sym-
bolizes."
The federation urged the
university officials to con-
sider the ramifications of
the Union Board's action
and bring a sense of reason
to those who have thus far
demonstrated none."

Judge Kennedy, who had
been handling the 4 1/2-
year-old case as a Federal
district judge in Detroit,
threw out defense motions
to dismiss the case which
were based on the claim
that the U.S. had the evi-
dence more than 20 years
ago which was now being
used against Trifa.
The judge ruled that
there were statements to
the contrary in the gov-
ernment's files and ex-
planations by Trifa
which the government
claims are false.
She also rejected a de-
fense challenge of the U.S.
Displaced Persons Act
which bars advocates of per-
secution from entering the
U.S.
No trial date has been set.
U.S. attorneys have asked
for at least 60 days' notice to
arrange for witnesses to
come from Israel and other
countries.
Judge Kennedy also must
decide whether to handle
the case herself or turn it
over to another judge. She
was sworn in as an appeals
court judge for the Sixth
Circuit based in Cincinnati
in early October.

teachers.
Shapiro intends to con-
unue to work on the quar-

after he takes over the
presidency.
He also hopes to continue
teaching, but notes it won't
be easy. The problem is not
time," he said, "it's having
to be in the classroom at 10

There's nothing more
revealing than a naked
diamond.
The diamond you buy should have nothing to hide.
That's why its advisable to select your stone and mounting
separately.
Before- a diamond is mounted, your jeweler can easily
demonstrate its cut, color, clarity and carat weight to you.
With his help, you will be able to see and compare the
brilliance of different stones yourself.
Brilliance is the key to beauty in diamonds. Always look
for a diamond that has been cut and polished to bring out all
of its natural brilliance, one that meets the exact-
ing standards that have been established as
ideal. These are called. ideal cut diamonds.
