In his Daily World article, "The Rise of Anti-Semitism, U.S.A.," released July 1, Hall emphasizes legislation countering bigotry, but STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE ... creases, fare hikes, infla- tion and unemployment. A people divided cannot be effective fighters against the ravages of Reaganomics. A people divided and diverted are not the most effective fighters against the war policies of the Reagan Administration. "There is, of course, the necessity of struggle against the specific acts and slander of anti-Semitic in- cidents. The New Jersey, Arizona, California, Mary- land, Oregon, Rhode Island and New York laws are im- portant weapons against prejudice, bigotry and ra- cism. "However, such laws and legislation will not, by themselves, have the de- sired basic and long range effects. "What is needed is a com- bination of struggles against specific acts and a continuing, relentless and vigilant campaign of con- stant exposure, constant education on the roots and causes of these viruses inherent in the capitalist system of exploitation and oppression . . ."

Hebrew U. Honors Its Fallen Attorney Martin Butzel, 76 Butzel, who for stitute, Detroit Grand While Maintaining Routine half Martin a century carried on the Opera Association and was JERUSALEM — "I ask you to rise in silent tribute to the five Hebrew Univer- sity students who have fal- len in battle in Operation Peace for Galilee." It is with this sentence that Hebrew University President Avraham Har- man has been opening ceremonies which have been held at the university in recent days. These events, such as inaugura- tions of chairs or dedi- caitons of buildings, usually involve visitors from abroad, and the university administration decided to proceed with them as planned despite the out- break of the war. "Indeed," Harman has as- serted at these ceremonies, "we are not departing from our regular customs in the wake of the recent events. We must continue with our normal pursuits as a uni- versity, because those who fell died to defend values that are worth defending. THE JEWISH NEWS Moreover, it is our task at the university to ensure that this society, this coun- try and this people will al- ways be worth defending." Studies at the Hebrew University have pro- ceeded as scheduled de- spite the mobilization of 1,000 students. At the same time, the university administration decided shortly after the war broke out to take all possible measures to minimize the difficulties mobilized students may encounter in completing the academic year Arrangements similar to those which were in effect following the Yom Kippur War have been introduced. Thus, every mobilized stu- dent will be able to write his end-of-year exams at spe- cial sittings. Full considera- tion will be given to mobilized students regard- ing the submission of term papers and other compul- sory material. TELLS IT LIKE IT IS! • SEND A GIFT SUBSCRIPTION TODAY!

The terrorists were iden- tified as Azmi Zarir, com- mander of the Abu Yussuf Al Nager battalion of El Fatah and his deputy, Jac- kie Auesti. Zarir is believed to have planned and participated in the terrorist attack on the Savoy Hotel near the Tel Aviv beachfront in 1975 and the coastal road massacre in March 1978. He and Auesti escaped from their command post in Tyre on the first day of fighting in Lebanon, June 6, and had been hid- ing out and forcing local villagers to feed them, an Israeli military spokes- man said. He said that since Zarir's death, many terrorists have surrendered to Israeli forces. Happy is he who performs a good deed: for he may tip the scales for himself and the world. —Kiddushin 40:2 a past president of the De- troit Chapter of the Ameri- can Jewish Committee and a past national vice president.
