M Hillel's budget, which is
supplemented by the Detroit
and Washtenaw County Jew-
ish federations and the
Michigan B'nai B'rith Hillel
fund.
"There is a lot of potential
here," Ms. Suchotliss said.
"There are definitely Jewish
students looking to socialize
with other Jews. There is an
unmet need we're trying to
fill."
Todd Miller, an EMU se-
nior majoring in business, is
optimistic about Hillel's fu-
ture in Ypsilanti.
Mr. Miller grew up in
Farmington Hills and was ac-
tive in AZA. At EMU, he had
to actively seek out other
Jews.
"I wanted to meet Jews,
get involved with other Jew-
ish students, but I didn't
want to join a fraternity,”- Mr.
Miller said. "I think having
someone in the office has
made a big difference. We
only have 10 active members,
but that's double the number
of the year before."
In the fall, Ms. Suchotliss
will return to the EMU Hil-
lel. She plans to continue pro-
gramming social activities
only. Students have not ex-
pressed an interest in con-
ducting services.
Michael Brooks, executive
director of the Ann Arbor Hil-
lel, is pleased to see renewed
activity at EMU.
"We've never had this kind
of sustained attention at
EMU. Wendy offers real stu-
dent ownership of the group,"
Mr. Brooks said. "In the past
we've had a staff person co-
ordinate programs for EMU.
But she had other responsi-
bilities and couldn't help cre-
ate an infrastructure with a
life of its own." LI

n Jewish circles, the Uni-
versity of Michigan is
known for the strength of
its Hillel student center.
However, just a few miles
down the road in Ypsilanti,
Eastern Michigan Universi-
ty students are not afforded
the same opportunity. Of the
estimated 1,000 Jewish stu-
dents at EMU, a handful dri-
ve into Ann Arbor for services
or programs. Most do not.
Wendy Suchotliss is help-
ing to change that situation.
A U-M graduate student in
Project STaR, service train-
ing and research in Jewish
communal development, Ms.
Suchotliss worked last year
as an intern for the Ann Ar-
bor Hillel. The majority of her
work time, two or three days
each week, was spent in Yp-
silanti, trying to form a group
of students to develop the
small EMU Hillel.
Ms. Suchotliss is hoping to
help create a viable, active
meeting place for Jewish stu-
dents — an alternative to
traveling into Ann Arbor and
associating with students
from a different campus. A
small number of students ap-
pear to want it too.
"I advertised in the school
paper and tried to form a
core. There was a lot of trial
and error," Ms. Suchotliss
said. "The interests are dif-
ferent at EMU, so I tried to
tailor a program to them."
During the school year,
about 10 students met week-
ly with Ms. Suchotliss to form
a steering committee, decid-
ing what type of events EMU
Hillel should present. Pro-
grams, centering around hol-
idays and areas of current
interest, were run about
twice each month.

ach year the cycle is the
same. Children can't
wait to get out of school.
Two weeks later, they're
bored with TV reruns, swim-
ming and biking. Upon re-
turning to the classroom in
the fall, they've forgotten al-
most everything.
Hebrew school is no excep-
tion.
But Ira Wise, educator at
Temple Emanu-El, is hoping
to intervene.
