Call Today Most political pundits felt the crisis would indeed be resolved with Likud remaining in the government and Shas prob- ably returning to it. Their optimism derived from the fact that Likud, torn by internal disputes between its Herut and Liberal Party wings, does not want to risk new elections and the possibil- ity that Peres would govern with a narrow majority. On the other hand, many Likud people see the Shas issue as a test of their party's credibility as the patron of a small but potentially vital client. Having "lost" the NRP to Labor and with the Agudat Israel "sitting on the fence," Likud is anxious to preserve its close links with an Or- thodox faction, observers said.

These are cardinal matters of state which must be ad- dressed by both major parties in unison, he said. Labor Party Secretary General Uzi Baram called the crisis "a storm in a teacup." He said Likud was making a great show of its un- swerving support for Shas but predicted that eventually the dispute between Shas and the NRP would be resolved. Representatives of Labor and Likud were working be- hind the scenes Wednesday on new compromise proposals.

Jerusalem — Perach means flower in Hebrew but PERACH is also an acronym for a project celebrating its tenth year of ac- tivity: Project Tutorial. According to statistics compiled by the Ministry of Culture and Education, there are in Israel today some 150,000 under- privileged children in need of spe- cial attention and help in their schoolwork. "These children," says Giora Zur, co-ordinator of the PERACH project at Tel Aviv Uni- versity, "are far from being a homogeneous group. The one similarity which they share is that they come from culturally deprived homes and have difficul- ties in school either because they are unable to concentrate in class or because they just can't cope with the study program for lack of parental aict." The tutorial project, according to Giora Zur, is very much like the Big Brother Program in America. It was initiated ten years ago at the Weizmann Institute of Sci- ence in Rehovot where Dr. Roni Atar, then studying for his Ph.D. degree, and his wife 'adopted' two children who needed help with their lessons. Realizing that there were many more children in the same situation in the Rehovot area, Dr. Atar recruited friends at the Weizmann Institute. Within a short time, dozens of children were enjoying the serv- ices of 'private tutors' and their schoolwork began to. improve. Dr. Atar and his friends ap- proached the Ministry of Educa- tion with a tutoring program which although based on volun- tary manpower required some moral and financial support. This resulted in the establishment of Project Tutorial. Today, 11,000 students in Is- rael's colleges and universities are active in Project Tutorial. Each school in which PERACH operates is served by a co= ordinator who acts as educational
