GENEVA (JTA) — Units
of the Swiss army will
maintain security during
the United Nations-
sponsored conference on
Palestine opening here next
month, the government an-
nounced.
The army was called in
because the local
authorities said they could
not be responsible for secu-
rity measures, especially at
a time when many of their
people would be on vaca-

tion. But the Geneva police
chief said the army was not
an adequate substitute be-
cause soldiers are not
trained for that kind of
work. A spokesman for the
armed forces seemed to
agree. He told a press con-
ference today "the army is
not really enthusiastic
about having to perform the
task."
Units from the Canton
of Turgovi will be as-
signed to guard the air-
ports, frontiers and
foreign missions as well
as the UN Palaise des Na-
tions where the confer-
ence will be held. A spe-
cial committee was set up
of government officials,
army officers and the
Geneva Canton
authorities to coordinate
the measures.
The heavy burden of se-
curity around a conference
considered likely to attract
terrorist elements was the
official reason given by the
French and Austrian gov-
ernments for refusing to
host the conference.

Difficult Task of Hillel Rabbis
By PROF. ARNOLD
AGES
TORONTO — We note
that a number of Hillel rab-
bis did an unheard of thing
recently; they picketed a
Bnai Brith office in order to
publicize their request for
salary increases.
Their demonstration was
undoubtedly prompted by
the growing frustration
they have encountered try-
ing to keep body and soul
together with the meager
honoraria they receive as
Hillel rabbis.
It was reported that in
some cases Reform rabbis
start at salaries considera-
bly in excess of what some
Hillel rabbis make after
years of service to the cause
of campus youth.
This is not right on many
grounds.
Hillel rabbis have what
is probably the most dif-
ficult Jewish consti-
tuency in the world— col-
lege youth. It is a genera-
tion (with rare exception)
characterized by rebel-
lion on the one hand and
indifference on the other.
The vast majority of
Jewish college students
come to the university cam-
pus bereft of any deep
knowledge or understand-
ing of their Jewish roots.
Most come equipped with
nothing more than an
elementary Jewish educa-
tion.
At the university they are
exposed to sophisticated
professors (many of whom
are Jewish) who tear down
the infantile understanding
of Judaism shared by so
many students.
They do'this in part by
contrasting the
"parochialism" of Jewish
life with the "universalism"
of the university atmos-
phere (never realizing of
course that universalism is
probably the most parochial,
of all philosophies).
The same students who
find their Judaism under
attack meet an even more
potent adversary in the
Jewish student peer who
represents a life style
diametrically opposed to
the value system
endorsed by the
synagogue and Jewish
home.
Facing these assaults on
the integrity of Judaism is
the campus Hillel Founda-
tion, its rabbi and staff —
trying with modest re-
sources to instruct,
enlighten, fortify and nur-
ture the Jewish student in
search of security.
The Hillel rabbi daily
faces the same problems as
his colleague in the
synagogue ; in addition he
has challenges which his

counterpart
does
not
encounter.
For one thing the Hillel
rabbi must minister to the
spiritual needs of diverse
kinds of Jews who represent
a broad denominational
spectrum. He must service
those needs with intelli-
gence and tact.
But his most serious
problem is dealing with
young Jews who are at
their most vulnerable
psychological moments
of life — as they face un-
known and potentially
disruptive intellectual
and emotional chal-
lenges.
The man who is entrusted
with such important and de-
licate tasks — the care of
Jewish youth — deserves
our support, encourage-
ment and financial assis-
tance.
