Laboring to be No. 1

(both would find it almost impossible
to form a government without
Yahad's three seats), has been con-
sistent since election night in de-
manding a unity government.
Another key pivotal party, the
NRP, with four seats, has also urged
unity.
Yosef Burg, leader of the NRP,
announced Monday that he was
ready to serve a Peres-led national
unity government but not in a
narrowly-based coalition led by
either Labor or Likud. Last Friday,
Burg said he would be ready to serve
in a national unity government
without specifying who he preferred
as the premier.
Observers agreed that Burg was
acting out of conviction that a narrow
coalition, however led, would pro-
duce a crippled government, unable
to cope with Israel's 400 percent in-
flation, the IDF mired in Lebanon,
and certainly unable to act on the
broiling West Bank settlement issue.
Shamir refused to tell reporters
whether he had made any commit-
ment to serve under Peres in a unity
government but Sunday night De-
puty Premier David Levy said Likud
would not join a Labor-led unity gov-
ernment and said Peres would fail to
form a coalition.
• Likud, in the unity talks, repor-
tedly has been pressing Peres to ac-
cept a rotating prime ministership,
or, short of that, guarantees of key
jobs for Likud as leaders of the De-
fense and Foreign ministries.
While Burg's support of Peres
was considered a major boost for
Peres, it did not, most observers
agreed, fully affect the surface effort
for a unity government or continued
efforts by Labor and Likud to keep
trying to form narrowly-based fac-
tional governments.

Williams' problems with Penthouse
magazine.
Even if a Jew were involved,
Farrakhan should have been asked
whether it is racist to blame an entire
pe-ople for the actions of a few.
Farrakhan also stated that Hit-
ler. "reportedly" slaughtered six mil-
lion Jews butle was not challenged
on whether his use of a qualifier
means that he doubts the occurrence'
of the Holocaust or whether he'has
joined other revisionists.
Overall, the media might have
asked Rev. Holley whether he be-
lieved Farrakhan's statements
would lead to the kind of healing
process Rev. Jackson implied in his
apology.
Or they could have polled the
audience, asking how its members
would react if public figures made
similar statements about blacks.
These are fair questions — ques-
tions which the media avoided but
had a duty to pursue.
The major point is that the
media, in a sense, have made Far-
rakhan a prominent spokesperson —
one who unfortunately is fertilizing
the seeds of anti-Semitism.
Herzog calls education
guarantee of Israel's future
Jerusalem — Israel's
higher educational system
is the guarantee of its future
existence, President Chiam
Herzog said last month at
the annual 'convocation of
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem.
But Hebrew University
President Don Patinkin,
speaking at the same event,
warned that continued cuts
in government funding of
higher education constitute
a threat that could yield
"bitter fruits" for Israel.
President Herzogre-
ceived an honorary docto-
rate of laws at the convoca-
tion.
In his address following
the degree granting cere-
monies, Herzog said that
"without superior higher
education, we' will not be
able to preserve our
technological quality,
which is the guarantee of
our ability to defend our-
selves today, and to guard
our independence.".He also
called upon Israel's univer-
sities to instill in their stu-
dents, regardless of their
fields of study, an apprecia-
tion for and awareness of
the need for tolerance,
open-mindedness and
courteous and considerate
human relations — qual-
ities which' he stressed
needed improvement in Is-
raeli society. He em-
phasized as well the need for
preserving and strengthen-
ing the concepts of justice
and morality in Israeli life.
In introductory remarks,
Herzog also referred to the
arrest two days earlier by
Soviet authorities of former
President Ephraim Katzir
in Leningrad, thus prevent-
ing him from meeting with
Soviet Jews there. Herzog
said that such an insult to
the State of Israel and the
Jewish people could not be
ignored or 'simply passed
over, calling it an "unfor-
givable" act. Katzir was re-
leased a short time after
being arrested, and left the
Soviet Union.
Patinkin, in his remarks,
warned that while Israel
has a growing need for skil-
led manpower that can only
be supplied through higher
education; government
support for institutions of
higher learning has been
declining, resulting in cut-
backs affecting the quality
of education. By doing this,
