University Grads Double In Israel 1bl Aviv (JTA) — The num- ber of university graduates in Israel more than doubled in the decade between 1974 and 1984, and the over 200,000 holders of university degrees now account for some eight percent of the population over the age of 20, according to survey released last week. The Central Bureau of Sta- tistics, which published the findings of a special review, said that in 1984 there were some 206,000 university graduates in Israel. This figure is 2.1 times that record- ed for 1974. The graduate ac- counted for in the most recent survey include some 130,000 persons with a degree equiv- alent to a B.A., 64,000 per- sons with a degree equivalent to an M.A., and some 11,000 holders of a PH.D. Among university graduates, some 197,000 are Jewish and some 9,000 non-Jewish. Some 85,000 university graduates, roughly 41 percent of the total, are women, the survey showed. Half of the Jewish university graduates in Israel in 1984 were less than 40 years old, and 44 percent were born in Israel. The percentage of those originating from Asia and Africa, including those Israeli- born individuals whose parents were born on those continents, reached about 15 percent (slightly more — some 19 percent — among B.A. holders). The Central Bureau of Sta- tistics said the figures were based on the preliminary re- sults of the survey of college and university graduates, conducted by the Bureau be- tween September 1984 and May 1985. The survey cov- ered a representative sample of 15,000 persons selected ac- cording to the information obtained during the popula- tion nd housing census of June 1983. The percentage of universi- ty graduates among adult Jews of African and Asian origin, aged 20 and older, in- creased from 1.1 percent in 1974 to three percent in 1984. Among Jews of European and American origin, the increase was from 8.3 percent to 14.8 percent, respectively. The percentage of women univer- sity graduates increased from 25 percent in 1961 to 37 per- cent in 1974, and to 41 per- cent in 1984. A striking change took place in the breakdown of university graduate accord- ing to fields of studies: the total of humanities, social sciences, business and ad- ministration increased from 12 percent for each of these fields in 1961 to some 25 per- cent for each of them in 1984. The total of university grad- uates who received a degree in mathematics and sciences in- creased from eight to 13 per- cent, respectively. In contrast, the total of university graduates who received a degree in law, medicine or engineering decreased significantly. Changes in these fields took place mainly between 1961 and 1974, and to a lesser ex- tent in the following decade, the Bureau said.

The most severe penalty went to Rabbi Gershon Sat- mar, one of the leaders of the Eda Haredit. Satmar was fined 500 shekels and received a suspended sentence of four months. The trial of three others charged with the destruction, among them Rabbi Uri Blau of Neturei Karta, continues. 1EhMS time PdERIORs Ivory Coast Embassy Opens In Jerusalem Jerusalem (JTA) — Ivory Coast reopened its Embassy in Jerusalem last Monday, formally resuming diplomatic ties with Israel which it broke after the Yom Kippur War in 1973. A Charge d'Affaires will head the Embassy until the ambassador arrives to pre- sent his credentials to Presi- dent Chaim Herzog. Israel and Ivory Coast agreed to resume diplomatic relations at a meeting in Geneva last January between Prime Minister Shimon Peres and President Felix Houph- ouet-Boigny. Israel has an Ambassador in Abidjan, capital of the West African nation. The fact that he is the former officer promoted to ambassadorial rank appeared to have irked the Ivorians, ac- cording to some sources here, and accounts for the nine- month delay in reopening the embassy. Others believe Ivory Coast, with a 15 per- cent Moslem population may have been nervous about resuming relations with Israel. But the fact that the Em- bassy is in Jerusalem rather than rIel Aviv is heartening to Israelis. The Ivory Coast government continued to pay rent for the building during the 13 years it was vacant and also paid the salary of the embassy secretary who has now returned to her old job. sweatsuits WE TRAVEL!!
