Save Big Bucks NEW Step n' Bench Class S.W. corner of Telegraph at Maple Birmingham 855-1033 fight years ago, Rabbi William Rudolph, a young Hillel Founda- tions personnel services di- rector, made a dire predic- tion about the availability of higher education for Ameri- can Jews in the future. Soaring college costs, the decline in the Jewish bir- thrate and a switch in government aid from grants to loans would produce a significant drop in Jewish college enrollment during the rest of this century, the rabbi told a Hillel Commis- sion meeting in Washington in 1982. Happily, that has not come to pass, said Rudolph, now Hillel assistant interna- tional director. There are about 400,000 Jewish students — undergraduate and graduate — enrolled in college at pre- sent, about the same number as in 1982. But the dangers he noted then have not abated and in fact have deeply affected the current crop of Jewish students. Rabbi Rudolph pointed out that the desire for a well- paying career without a lengthy buildup has pulled Jews out of long-favored fields such as the human- ities, because they have to reap the financial rewards quickly to pay back their col- lege loans. Young Jews in un- precedented numbers are go- ing into law, accounting and business administration. Rabbi Rudolph said they are also bypassing an almost legendary Jewish profession — medicine — because of the many years of costly study and the massive burden of loans involved. Annual costs for undergraduates in Ivy League schools now run ap- proximately $20,000, and are rising at twice the rate of inflation. Still, well-to-do families have no problems financing college education for their children, the Hillel official said. The poor get scholar- ships, the rich have the money. It is middle-class parents who are finding the financial struggle ever more burdensome, the rabbi said. He warned that a point will come, assuming con- tinued inflation, that a year at a good college will cost $40,000. "How will typical middle- class Jewish parents finance a college education for their children? And how will the graduates repay the stagger- ing total cost of the loans they will have taken to get their degree?" the rabbi asked. In short, with a minor ex- ception, the conditions Rabbi Rudolph warned of in 1982 have materialized. The exception is the halt in the declining birthrate as young Jews, having attained some financial security, are belatedly becoming parents. But Rabbi Rudolph doubts that is a long-term trend. ❑ Klinghoffers Can Sue PLO Washington (JTA) — The Palestine Liberation Organ- ization suffered a legal blow recently when a U.S. court in New-York said it had the right to rule who was responsible for tossing a crippled American man into the Mediterranean Sea in 1985. Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound Jewish man from New York, was shot and thrown off the Achille Lauro cruise ship by members of the Palestine Liberation Front who had seized the cruise ship in the Mediterranean. The front, a PLO consti- tuent group headed by Mohammed (Abul) Abbas, has also been linked to a failed terrorist attack May 30 on beaches outside of Tel Aviv. The June 7 ruling, by U.S. District Court Judge Louis Stanton in Manhattan, marks the first time a fed- eral court has accepted jurisdiction to rule on inter- national terrorism incidents. A trial date has not been set. The Achille Lauro suit was filed in November 1985 by Klinghoffer's widow, Marilyn, who died of cancer in 1986. Jay Fischer, the New York lawyer who handled the Kl- inghoffer suit, said the ril- ing "significantly demeans" the PLO. The next step will be taking depositions of peo- ple "who can shed any light on the PLO," he said. Fischer said he may try to have Abbas or PLO leader Yassir Arafat take the stand at the trial if he thinks they have any "relevant" infor- mation.
