Campus highlights: Hil-
lel at Wayne provides a
warm, comfortable atmos-
phere on this inner-city
commuter campus. Because
it serves commuter stu-
dents, Hillel is most active
on weekdays.

Eastern Michigan
University
Ypsilanti, Mich.
Contact: (313) 487-1855
General
population:
25,900
Jewish population: 900
Student perspective:
Barry Feldman, 1993 gradu-
ate, West Bloomfield
Comments: There are not
that many Jewish kids at
Eastern to begin with. I
don't think there is a high
Jewish visibility. Most
Jewish kids will join a fra-
ternity or sorority. Basic-
ally, the only Jewish kids I
met were from West Bloom-
field. As for Hillel, they
closed a few years ago but
this past year they started
up again. They sent out fly-
ers announcing different
events but I decided I was
not interested. I had lunch
with Larry Smith, the vice
president of Eastern, who is
concerned with the Jewish
community on campus.
Campus highlights: The
Hillel organization recently
reopened its doors. Eastern
Michigan is very close to
University of Michigan,
which has an active Jewish
student population.

Western Michigan
University
Kalamazoo, Mich.
Contact: (616) 387-3501

General
population:
20,000
Jewish Population: 350
Student Perspective:
Keith Jacobson, 1993 grarl'-
ate, West Bloornf' -_:,1
Colliments: There is a
very small Jewish popula-
tion at Western. Hillel is
constantly in touch with the
students. I've never been to
Hillel, but they have tried to
keep me informed by send-
ing me information. As far
as I know the only other
Jewish organization is
Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity
and I'm not sure it's entirely
Jewish. I think it would be
harder for girls to find
Jewish friends because as
far as I know, there are no
Jewish sororities. When I
attended Michigan State
University, people were
more open about their reli-
gion even though the Jewish
population was still small.
Campus highlights: The
small local Jewish commu-
nity is very receptive to stu-
dents. Students who re-
quire kosher food may be
able to board with local fam-
ilies. Hillel sponsors occa-
sional programs and meals
each month.

Central Michigan

Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
General
population:

Student perspective:
Melissa Seligman, 1993
graduate, West Bloomfield
Comments: Going to
Central was an educational
experience because I was
considered the token Jew. I
