Some people need arch supports.
The arch serves as a shock absorber
in standing, walking, running, etc.
Without an arch, the foot would have
much less flexibility and there is much
less leverage when taking steps. If
you need an arch support select an
extra depth shoe with a broad thread
and generous entry room.

Delays New Campus •1
New York (JTA) — The Uni-
versity of New Haven has
announced the postpone-
ment of a controversial
branch campus that it had
planned to open in the Mid-
dle East.
The change in plans is due
to "heightened political ten-
sions in the region during
the past couple of weeks,"
said UNH President
Lawrence DeNardis in a
statement.
"The safety of our faculty
and students in the Middle
East must be a primary con-
cern. A delay will afford us
more time to assess this
issue and explore all possible
options," he said.
Security may have been
one of DeNardis' concerns,
but controversy — both local
and international — has
surrounded the proposed
branch in the West Bank
town of Elkana from its in-
ception last fall.
Critics of the campus,
located 12 miles east of Tel
Aviv, included the Ameri-
c an- Ar a b Anti-
Discrimination Committee,
Peace Now, the New Jewish
Agenda, the National
Lawyers Guild, the Middle
East Crisis Committee, the
Middle East Network of
United Methodists, mem-
bers of the Israeli govern-
ment and Birzeit University,
a Palestinian campus in the
West Bank that has been
closed for nearly three of the
last five years by the Israeli
military.
Joseph Dimow, the secre-
tary of the New Haven
chapter of the progressive
New Jewish Agenda, ap-
plauded UNH's decision to
postpone the opening of the
Elkana campus.
Mr. Dimow has vigorously
opposed the UNH plan on
the grounds that it would
negatively affect the ongo-
ing Middle East peace talks.
"Those negotiations are
delicate enough without an-
other irritation," he said in a
recent interview.
Mr. Dimow thinks the op-
position has had "something
to do with this decision" to
postpone the opening.
Craig Sumberg of Ameri-
cans for Peace Now, an
outspoken peace lobby in
America and Israel, agreed
that the opposition in both
countries was a "significant
factor in the university's
decision" to postpone what
he thought would be an
"unnecessary disruption to
the peace process."
Jay Rubin, executive di- -
rector of the Jewish Federa-
tion of Greater New Haven; \
disagreed. The UNH branch
in Elkana, which was set to
open in February, would y
have "no impact on the H
peace process whatsoever,"
Mr. Rubin said.
Opposition on thoso--
grounds is "a fantasy on the
part of Arab-American
organizations that are look-
ing for issues," he added.
He called Mr. DeNardis a
well intentioned, good
friend of the Jewish com-.,-/
munity" who has the "best
interests of his university
and doing good for the
peoples of the region at
heart."
Robert Fishman, executive
director of the Connecticut =,
Jewish Community Rela-
tions Council in West Hart-
ford, added, "I can't believe
"
The plan could
affect the Middle
East peace talks.
DeNardis would cave in to
the opposition."
In a December opinion
piece in the New Haven`- \
Register, Sameer Hassan,
president of the Connecticut
chapter of the American- yl
Arab Anti-Discrimination \
Committee, wrote that a
UNH campus in Elkana
would have "serious and far- -='\
reaching implications for the
integrity of international
law, the current Arab-Israeli
peace talks, U.S. foreign
policy and the future of the
Palestinian people."
Such a venture, he said,
was in violation of Article 49
of the Fourth Geneva Con-
vention, which explicitly
forbids the construction of
settlements in occupied ter-
ritory.
Israel's Labor-led Edu-
cation Ministry also voiced
objection to the plan. Accor-
ding to a report in the New
Haven Register,Education -;
Ministry spokesman Ron
Melamed said his office is
looking into the possibility
of overturning the decision
of the previous Likud
government, which approv-
ed the Elkana campus.
Mr. DeNardis, who was a
