It's All Academic
Continued from preceding page
ture and Applied Science. I'm
troubled and I really want your
advice. A department is like a
family, and to introduce a divisive
influence into a family is a very
serious responsibility. Haber is a
Hebrew. We have no place for
Hebrews at Michigan State.'
"It was signed by Wilbur Owen
Hedrick, chairman of the
economics department.
"Commons asked me, 'Are you
old enough to understand this?'
" 'Yes I am. But I would ap-
preciate it if you wouldn't answer
it right away. Would you let me
take ithome and show it to my
wife?'
"We'd just been married a few
years. I met my wife, Fannie, in
'Madison, and we were married in
1924. We've been married 61
years now."
Then Haber continues the
story. "Actually, what I did was
make a copy of the letter. And
then I sent a telegram to Hedrick:
'I have an engagement in Detroit
on Thursday morning. Any possi-
bility of seeing you Wednesday af-
ternoon?' I made no reference to
the letter. As far as he knew, I
never saw the letter.
"He replied instantly. 'See you
at 11 a.m.'
I arrived in Lansing and took a
streetcar from there to the cam-
pus in East Lansing. I went to
Hedrick's office. He said 'I told
President (Kenyon L.) Butterfield
that you were coming over to see
me. He wants to see you.'
" 'Fine,' I replied, and went over
to see Butterfield. I still hadn't
said a word about the letter to
Hedrick. But when I talked to
Butterfield, I was amazed to learn
he had discovered somehow I was
involved with what is now an es-
tablished procedure, the Legisla-
tive Reference Library, and we
spent an hour talking about it.
Then he asked 'Are you going to
see Hedrick?' I replied that I was
going back to his office, said good-
bye, and left.
"What I didn't know was that
between my walking from the
president's office to the economics
department, Butterfield picked
up the phone and told Hedrick,
'Hire this man before he leaves
town.' "
Haber got the job and became
associate professor of economics
at Michigan State, serving from
1927 until he joined U-M in 1936.
Did he ever tell Hedrick about
the letter?
"Many years later I told him I
knew about it. But by then we had
become very fast friends. He said
`You're the first Jew I'd ever
met.' "
Haber was born in Romania in
1899. He came to America in
1909, when he was ten. One of his
brothers, Sam, eventually became
the executive vice president of the
Joint Distribution Committee,
which aided post-World War II
Jewish refugees to emigrate to the
United States.
It was getting close to kickoff
time at the stadium, and Ralph,
one of Haber's two sons, a profes-
sor of psychology at the Univer-
sity of Illinois in Chicago, and au-
thor in his own right, was eager to
get to the game.
As we said goodbye, there was
time for only one last question:
does Dr. Haber ever bet on foot-
ball games?
For a moment, Haber had a
faraway glint in his eye. Then he
laughed and closed the door. (11
Jewry To Assist
Volcano Victims
Jewish communities across
America — including Detroit's
— are joining with the Jews of
Colombia in a project that will
provide housing for those made
homeless by the volcano that
buried the town of Armero, Col-
ombia.
The Council of Jewish Federa-
tions, of which the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation of Detroit is a
member, has issued an appeal to
American Jewry to participate
in the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee's open
mailbox for Colombia relief.
Checks marked "Colombia Re-
lief" or "Bricks for Colombia"
may be sent to the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, 711 Third Ave., tenth
floor, New York, N.Y. 10017.
Or, mail to JDC, c`o Jewish Wel-
fare Federation, 165 Madison,
Detroit, 48226, which will for-
ward the checks.
Led by Israeli peace activist
Abie Nathan and a group of
volunteer experts, the "Bricks
for Colombia" project will con-
sist of the construction of a
brick factory which will employ
some 200 people. An estimated
five million bricks will be pro-
duced and then supplied free to
the refugees.
The Colombian government
has agreed to transport the
bricks to the building sites and
will provide roads, foundations,
sewage and electricity.

Court Rejects
Nazi's Appeal
Washington (JTA) — The U.S.
Board of Immigration appeals
(BIA) has rejected the appeal of
Reinhold Kulle, a former SS
guard leader at the Gross-Rosen
concentration camp who was or-
dered deported in 1984 by the
Federal Immigration Court in
Chicago. In a rare move, the
BIA also took action that is ex-
pected to result in the cancella-
tion of Kulle's Social Security
benefits.
Kulle, 65, Admitted during his
1983 trial that he had served
during World War H as an offi-
cer in the "Totenkopf" (Death's
Head) Division of the Waffen-SS
at the notorious Gross-Rosen
camp in Upper Silesia.
In affirming the lower court's
deportation order, the BIA noted
that Kulle's SS service "primar-
ily consisted of being a guard
and training guards who made
the brutal Nazi concentration
camp system achieve its goals."
Some 100,000 civilian inmates
and allied POWs perished at
Gross-Rosen.
