IDF Recruit
Fights Haircut

Jerusalem (JTA) — Spare me
the army haircut.
This was the demand of an
18-year-old Israeli, who charged
that the Israel Defense Force is
practicing discrimination when
it requires male recruits, but not
their female counterparts, to cut
their hair.
Not eager to part with the
ponytail he sports, the Haifa res-
ident brought his complaint to
the High Court of Justice.
His charge of discrimination
represents another challenge
that the IDF, a traditional male
bastion, has had to confront af-
ter allowing women to enter its
combat units.
Explaining the basis for his
suit, the petitioner said, "When
the army requires males to cut
their hair when they are in-
ducted into the IDF, and [they]
must keep a short haircut
throughout their service — while
this is not required of women —
this represents sexual discrimi-
nation and a violation of civil
rights."
"If women with long hair can
meet the etiquette requirements
of the army and function ac-
ceptably, so can men," the peti-
tioner added.

New York (JTA) — After a six-
year absence, the University of
Haifa has reopened its office in
New York.
"It doesn't make a whole lot of
sense not to have an office in the
United States," said Joel Lei-
bowitz, executive vice president
of the American Society-Uni-
versity of Haifa.
Most Israeli universities
maintain offices in New York,
but Haifa had shut down its U.S.
operation because of "political
opinions that were not the same"
between the university's Amer-
ican and international boards,
Mr. Leibowitz said.
The American Society is in
charge of public relations, de-
velopment, and faculty and stu-
dent exchange programs.
Established in 1963, the Uni-
versity of Haifa has some 13,000
students, 18 percent of them
Arab.
With Arabs and Israelis in the
same classroom, "you can imag-
ine the fascinating dialogue be-
tween these groups," said Mr.
Leibowitz. "They have to start
talking to each other."
Haifa has also absorbed more
Russian and Ethiopian immi-
grants than any other Israeli
university, he said.
