said. "And she's been working
at it for more than a year."
Pursell has always been a
friend to Israel. People in
Pollack's campaign recognize
this fact and agree that on
this particular issue Pollack
and Pursell concur.

But
specifically to Pursell's vote,
for prayer in the public
schools and his vote on the
Civil Rights Act and feels
that neither was in the best
interest of Jewish
constituents.
On more general issues,
like environmental and
educational concerns, which
have always been on Pollack's
particular agenda, she said
she can offer Jewish voters —
who make up 1% percent of
the 2nd district — an alter-
native they haven't had
before.
Pollack's political ex-
perience has centered on Ann
Arbor and Washtenaw Coun-
ty, in many ways an atypical
political community with a
high student profile and a
relatively healthy economy.
Her name is not always
recognized when she goes
beyond Tree City and its
environs.
Pollack served on the Ann
Arbor Board of Education_ and
chaired the Ann Arbor
Democratic Party for two
years before she went to the
state House in 1983.
Besides Washtenaw Coun-
ty, the 2nd district contains
part of Wayne, Jackson,
Hillsdale, Lenawee and
Branch counties.
If Pollack's political ex-
perience has been relatively
localized the lessons she has
learned are universal ones.
"If you're willing to address
fundamental issues you'll
find others who will join you,"
she said.
She admits that she has
always lived in a fundmental-
ly non-Jewish world and one
in which she's comfortable,
with non-Jewih friends, con-
stituents and fellow
politicians.
She said her Jewish
background has always in-
fluenced her professional and
non-professional activities.
"My whole public and private
life are expessions of my
Jewish values. My Jewish
religion, taught to me by my
mother, the primary source of
information and wisdom,
made me feel that there's an
imperative that I act on my
values; that I participate to

make a more just world,"
Her father, she explained,
gave her her outspokenness.
Combined, the ideas Pollack
grew up with have guided her
throughout her political
career which now spans more
than two decades. "I believe
one person can make a dif-
ference."
She said that she enjoys the
nitty-gritty quality of politics
and political battles. "Some
people like chess. I like the
challenge of the electoral pro-
cess. I like getting the job
done."

Sculpture
Dedicated

Dedication of a sculpture in
memory of Philip M. Seymour
was held at the Beth Israel
Memorial Garden, Arborcrest
Cemetery, in Ann Arbor last
Sunday.
Thirty-five years ago, Mr.
Seymour took on the respon-
sibility to organize and ad-
minister the Beth Israel
Memorial Garden for the
benefit of the Jewish com-
munity, including Ann Arbor,
Ypsilanti, and the surroun-
ding areas. He died in 1985.
Mr. Seymour was president
of Endicott-Seymour Co. for
36 years. He was a board
member of Beth Israel Con-
gregation for 17 years and
was three times president of
the Ann Arbor B'nai Brith.
He was also Ann Arbor's
Israel Bond honoree in 1977.
His family, together with a
fund established by the com-
munity, have commissioned
John Pappas, professor of art
at Eastern Michigan Univer-
sity, to create a fitting
memorial.
