that all three were ap-
proached by groups of people
who hoped to change the
school board, but denied that
any particular group was be-
hind the effort.
"There is a difference in
what Oak Park High School
used to be and what Oak
Park High is today," Roberg
said. "The MEAP scores have
dropped and the board keeps
saying that new cultures and
groups entering the school
have caused the scores to go
down. Well, I teach in Detroit
and we have been raising our
MEAP scores by stressing
academics and awarding
achievement." Roberg has
taught science classes at
Southeastern High School for
the last two years. He for-
merly taught at the yeshiva,
at Hillel Day School and
Wayne County Community
College.

Shmita Spurs
Controversy

Tel Aviv (JTA) — This year's
bumper wheat crop has become
the center of a fierce controver-
sy between wheat farmers and
ultra-Orthodox Jews. The latter
insist that it be exported
because they cannot eat pro-
duce grown on Jewish-owned
land during this shmita, (sab-
batical), year in which the land
is to lie fallow according to
biblical injunction.
The government has already
served notice it will pay the
farmers less than usual this
year because most of their crop
will be going overseas. The
farmers accused the govern-
ment of knuckling under to
religious extremists.
The ultra-Orthodox claim
they have made arrangements
through their cohorts in the
U.S. to have the Americans sell
Israel wheat grown by non-Jews
to compensate for the exported
Israeli wheat. The farmers said
this will cost the treasury
scores of millions of dollars in
needless expenses, plus
transportation and port handl-
ing charges. The Chief Rab-
binate has taken what it con-
siders to be a compromise on
the issue. It re-adopted a 1919
ruling by the then-Chief Rabbi
Avraham Hacohen Kook that
crops could be grown during a
fallow year if a bill of sale was
arranged to pass the land
nominally to non-Jewish
ownership for the year.
This proposal has been ac-
cepted by the moderate Or-
thodox but rejected by the
Agudat Israel and the Neturei
Karta, the Jerusalem sect
which refuses to recognize the
State of Israel.
Haaretz reported recently
that the staunchly secular kib-
butzim were the first to comply
with the ultra-Orthodox
demands.
