STADIUM 769.2158 "haves" helping the "have- nots" is clear, and we are proud of it. Just turn to the records of your finance minister and see how much has _ been given to you and your country for many years by Saudi Arabia, willingly and happily, as brothers. Are not facts stubborn things! When you needed Saudi troops to help you, they came and spent 10 years in your country at your ask- ing. And we did not ques- tion why or why not, nor raise "ifs," "ands" or "buts;' as you do now Facts are stubborn things. You are a very intelligent man, Your Majesty. And you have a fine memory. You say the Kuwait-Iraqi border is disputed and based on a historical record created by the col- onial British. Your Majesty, you should be the last one to say that. Not only all your borders but your whole country was created by the colonial British. Facts are stubborn things, indeed, Your Majesty. And do you remember when the British troops were invited by you into your country in 1958? We did not object or question your motives and judg- ment over that. Facts are stubborn things. You tell us that the situa- tion today is like 1914, when the world was falling into a war it did not want but could not stop. That led to World War I. That is not true. Your Ma- jesty, we are today in a period like the 1930s, when a madman decided to an- nex his neighbors and the world did nothing. That led to World War II. These are the facts. Facts are stubborn things. Your Majesty, please remember what caused this entire crisis in our region: the invasion of the Arab and Muslim state of Kuwait by Saddam Hus- sein. And only after that, and because of that, were Muslim Arab and friendly forces invited. They will all leave when this agression is turned back or when we ask them to leave. These are facts, Your Ma- jesty, and facts are stub- born things. In the interest of truth regarding the Middle East, the challenges against Jor- dan's ruler by his abandoned Saudi compatriot must be treated as presented. While some of the facts need amend- ing_with regard to Israel, in the total picture these facts need testing. There is a matter ap- proaching sensationalism in this new development. For many decades Saudi Arabia was feared as a possible ma- jor threat to Israel's very ex- istence. Saudis were consor- ting with Mr. Arafat and the menacing elements in the Middle East. Israel found it necessary to protest U.S. arms sales to Saudis. Now the Saudi ambassador compiles facts as an indictment of a chief ally. Let us wait for responses to learn whether facts can be hidden or whether they can be ignored when they convey a message that confirms Israel's truthful role in the Middle East. ❑ Saladin Continued from Page 2 was 13, Cordoba was cap- tured by the Almohade Arabs, and Moses and his family fled, eventually reaching Fez, Morocco. In the course of his travels Moses continued his studies of Arabic philosophy, geometry, natural sciences, astronomy, and medicine. At the age of 30, he was forced to take to the road again. Moses headed eastward and reached Palestine, where he found no possibility of settling, and subsequently moved to Egypt. In Egypt, he went into the business of precious stones, in part- nership with his brother; however, after his brother drowned and the business collapsed, Moses made a living as a physician, final- ly receiving appointment as doctor in the court of the Sultan, Saladin. During this period, he also became the leader of the Egyptian Jewish community with the official title of "Head of the [Jewish] Nation." Even with the cautionary last sentence, this is a historian's demand for ac- curacy and knowledge of medieval world history. Saladin's tolerance and his friendly relations with Jews as well as Christians should not be forgotten. Utilization of the Saladin name at this time, especially by the Iraqis as an aim to destroy Israel, creates a duty for the media to avoid distortions. The Saladin element in history provides the media a duty and a responsibility to treat truthfully the name and role of one of the world's most important personalities. Saladin was a friend of Jewry and his memory should be used to cement not to undermine Arab-Jewish cooperation. ❑ Calendar Importance 0 our printed calendar is gaining importance for all schools, with emphasis on universities, in planning dates for examinations. Setting of the Sabbath and major Holy Days for universi- ty exams that affect Jewish students keeps creating pro- blems. The advance distribu- tion of the Jewish calendar becomes a serious communi- ty duty. The continuing problem is called attention to in a letter published in the September- October 1990 Michigan Alumnus. Rabbi Mark Shook of St. Louis, (U-M, '66) raises the issue in the following: In reading the letter by Ms. McKinney in the May/June (1990) issue of Michigan Alumnus, I was appalled to learn of plans for graduate degree exer- cises to take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 5, 1990. The reason for my dismay is the fact that for a number of graduate students and their families, Saturday morning is part of the Sabbath and as such, they would not be able to participate fully in their own graduation or the graduation of one of their family members. To schedule the gradua- tion on a Saturday morn- ing is an unnecessary in- sult at worst and terribly insensitive at best. On the subject of appropriate graduation ceremonies, I can only say that the stadium tradition is something that should not be so quickly abandoned. The Michigan Alumnus editor chose to utilize this let- ter under the heading "Satur- day Graduation an Insult?" The letter writer and fellow Jews thus affected certainly think it is so easy to avoid the insult. The hurling of it can and should be avoided. It can be prevented by respecting the religious devotions of Jewish students, especially relating to Holy Days. ❑
