Metro Hillel

which amounted to $40,000
of this year's local $150,000
budget.
The Hillel at the Univer-
sity of Michigan was among
a second tier of 16 whose
funding was cut 20 percent
(from $73,500 to $58,800).
Michigan State Hillel was
not cut this year, but expects
to be affected by next year's
decrease.
Rabbi Finkelman said he
had been closely involved
with the evaluation process
and "the international
organization on its own
reached the conclusion that
the new job description
would be significantly diff-
erent."
But Metro Detroit Hillel
board president Kurt Singer
does not agree that major
changes are automatic. With
the loss of funding, "the cost
of whatever we are doing
will be borne by us, not by
the international," he said,
and the local board is not
ready to make a quick deci-
sion.
"In the remaining six
weeks of Rabbi Finkelman's
contract, we'll have to decide
what kind of adjustments to
make," Mr. Singer said.
Long-term changes may de-
pend on the personnel
available, he said.
Despite Rabbi Finkelman's
resignation, Mr. Singer was
upbeat and determined. "We
will find a way to continue
what we are doing. We know
we will find the funds."
Metro Hillel, Michigan
and Michigan State received
substantial increases this
year from the Jewish Fed-
eration of Metropolitan
Detroit:
• Metro Hillel has a
$160,000 total budget. It in-
cluded $73,600 from Federa-
tion (an increase from
$68,600 the previous year).
• Michigan Hillel has a
$600,000 budget, which in-
cludes the $58,000 from
International Hillel and
$156,400 from Federation
($138,800 last year).
• Michigan State Hillel
has a $180,000 budget, in-
cluding $23,000 from the
international and $90,500
from Federation (up from
$78,000).
But Federation is unlikely
to make increases for next
year. It asked all recipients
of Allied Jewish Campaign
funds to request no more
than 95 percent of this year's
allocations. Funding re-
quests will not be considered
until Federation completes
its Days of Decision cam-
paign the first week in June.
One Hillel insider said the
cuts to Metro Hillel were
based on declining numbers
of Jewish students at Wayne
and the belief that the local
Jewish community could
pick up the shortfall through
fund-raising.
The University of Mich-
igan has between 5,000 and
6,000 Jewish students.
Michigan State has an
estimated 1,500-2,000 ac-
cording to Hillel director
Mark Finkelstein. Wayne
State, according to Rabbi
Finkelman, has 300 Jewish
students, mostly in the law
and medical schools.
He said LTU has an
estimated 80 Jewish
students, OU 200, and esti-
mates for OCC Orchard
Ridge range from 200 to
1,000. Metro Hillel services
a fraction of those students
directly, Rabbi Finkelman
said, but also serves the four
campuses and their Jewish
faculty members by sponsor-
ing speakers, countering
Arab propaganda and serv-
ing as a Jewish spokesman
on campus.
Fund-raising efforts will
be upgraded locally and
internationally, according to
Rabbi William Rudolph, as-
sociate international direc-
tor in Washington. "We are
facing a restructured fiscal
future," he said.
The international has ap-
pointed former Detroiter
Martha Schlesinger to head
the fund-raising effort.
Rabbi Rudolph said the
total budget for Hillel foun-
dations around the country
is $17 million from all
sources. "But we need $31-
32 million to do it right."
He said, "The Jewish
community is beginning to
look at the challenge of the
campus." The Council of
Jewish Federations has ap-
pointed a task force to study
the situation. ❑

"We see this as another way
the school can make a direct
impact on international
economic development at
this pivotal time in history."
Designed to become a
leading center on market
economies, the Davidson
Center will act as a partner
with the business school.
The $30 million gift will be
given by Mr. Davidson's
Guardian Industries over 20
years at $1.5 million a year.
Frank Wilhelme, assistant
business school dean and di-
rector of development, said
he does not know when more
specific plans will be unveil-
ed. No institute director has
been hired. No programs —
