State, the teens traveled to
Lansing where they watched
the real Michigan
legislature in action.
Seth will return next
summer to speak at the Boys
State and at the Girls State

regularly exchange
speakers, he said. "When
the representative from
Girls State came to talk to
us, she got a pretty good
reaction."
In addition to his work at
Boys State, Seth also serves
as president of the student
councils for the Southeast-
ern Michigan Association
League, representing eight
local schools, which plans
social and community service
events. He is captain of the
Berkley swim team, chair-
man of the Michigan State
Temple Youth social action

WSU Center Irate
Over Invitation

ayne State Univer-
sity's Center for
Peace and Conflict
Studies has been sending out
apologies this week and is
upset that someone would
brand one of its recent
honorees anti-Israel.
WSU's CPCS cosponsored
a Human Rights Day
celebration in Detroit Dec. 8.
One of the honorees was
Detroit Free Press cartoonist
Bill Day.
Someone took the CPCS
invitation, superimposed a
Bill Day cartoon critical of
Israel and sent copies of the
doctored invitation to in-
dividuals in the community.
CPCS has received several
telephone calls and letters of
complaint about the bogus
invitation. Dr. Leon War-
shay, a sociology professor at
WSU and past president of
the Detroit Zionist Federa-
tion, met with Dr. Frederic
Pearson, director of CPCS,
after receiving a copy from a
friend.
"I was pleasantly surpris-
ed by his reaction," Dr. War-
shay said. "He was appall-
ed."
Dr. Pearson sent letters in
response to the complaints,
pointing out that "Mr. Day
was certainly not singled out
for one cartoon or his posi-
tion on the Middle East (by
the way, he has criticized
Arab states as well), but
rather for the overall body of
his work . . ."
