ment and passion in supporting Israel," he said. On the other hand, "by the time the conference ended, the campus was tired of the divestment issue." A difference between the conference at Michigan and the one planned for Rutgers, however, is timing. Michigan's meeting was held during a vacation week, when most of the school's stu- dents were off-campus. Rutgers' is set for the weekend of Suldwt, when most students will be on campus and reli- giously observant will be constrained by the holiday and Shabbat. We Customize All Leases for Sign & Drive Stand By Israel Berger had some hard-won advice for his counterparts at Rutgers. "I think it's very important that Rutgers students show that they loved Israel and they were Zionists long before the confer- ence came to campus, and will be long after the conference leaves campus," he said. Shanee Helfer of Paramus, N.J., will be a sophomore at Rutgers in the fall. She remembered the tension on cam- pus last year. "There was an Israel support rally in front of the student center at the beginning of the fall semester," she said. "There was a big Palestinian rally across the street, and a lot of the pro- Palestinian people came across the street to the Israel side and" started arguing. There was no fighting, though. "There was a banner at the student center, something about Palestine being free, from the river to the sea. This was weird; I don't know where it's going. "I understand that Rutgers is a uni- versity, and there's free speech, but it's a college campus in New Brunswick, near Jersey City, near New York City. The whole place was affected by Sept. 11. How can they stand there and say it's OK to support suicide bombing after Sept. 11? "I want to be there to put together a rally against them, but I'm also scared," she said. "It's not just open to Rutgers students. It's open to the public. Anyone can come, and if there's a large group of Israel supporters, you don't know what's going to happen. It's a safety issue. What if something hap- pens?" Ashley Winter of Glen Rock, a soph- omore who will be Hillel treasurer in the fall, is less worried. "I think it's def- initely going to be a challenge, but I think it's the type of issue that Rutgers students have had to deal with before," she said. "I think we'll give a strong showing." ❑ CERTIFIED LARGEST SELECTION of PRE-OWNED Pre-Owned Certified Lexus Pre-Owned Non-Certified Pre-Owned 2.9% 2001 Toyota Corolla FINANCING AVAILABLE 2 to choose from, VERY CLEAN! $8,995 2001 Lexus IS 2003 Toyota Corolla LE Certified, Like New, Automatic.
