The WSU Press, with 18 full-time
employees, is housed in an Albert Kahn-
designed building on the northwest cor-
ner of Woodward and Hancock. In 1994,
on Simons' 90th birthday, it was named
the Leonard N. Simons Building.
The Press has published about 3,500
books, Ferreyra said, 1,200 of which are
still in print. It publishes 40 new books
annually, along with 11 academic jour-
nals, including Jewish Film and Media.
The oldest Jewish studies book still in
print is The Origins of the Modern Jew,
Jewish Identity and European Culture
in Germany, 1749-1824 by Michael A.
Meyer, published in 1972. Its bestselling
Judaica book is Raphael Patai's Hebrew
Goddess, published in 1990, with 15,348
copies sold.

Are you a carrier of the
Tay-Sachs disease gene.
Are you a carrier of the Tay-Sachs disease gene?
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disease of the central nervous system passed from parents
to child. Both parents must be carriers of a mutation in the HEXA gene to pass the disease
on to their children. If you know that you are a carrier of this abnormal HEXA gene, we invite
you to participate in our research project.
Your participation will contribute to the knowledge gained from this research project. Knowledge
gained will be used to help others through the development of new and improved carrier
screening tests for people like you.
We are looking for 50 people known to carry the abnormal Tay-Sachs gene. We ask participants
in the project to donate about 1 tablespoon of blood for test development. Only a single visit
is required.
You qualify to volunteer if you are:
• Male or Female at least 18 years of age or older
• A carrier of the Tay-Sachs disease gene.
You will receive $100.00 compensation for your time for the study visit.

NEW ENERGY
Advisory board activity gained new
energy in the late 1990s under the lead-
ership of Simons' daughter, Mary Lou
Zieve. She chaired the group, renamed
the University Press
Council, until 2013.
Zieve, 82, a com-
munity booster and
retired advertising
executive, says she
shared a love of books
with her father.
"Dad was always
Mary Lou Zieve
collecting books; he
loved putting a library
together:' she said.
She became more involved with the
Press after her father died in 1995 and
decided some changes needed to be
made on the advisory board.
"My father was very casual about
the way he raised money:' Zieve said.
"He'd pick up the phone and say, 'Send
me $100, and I won't bother you for a
month:" The supporters weren't a "real"
board, with officers and bylaws, she said.
Zieve established a formal framework for
the group.
The board's mission, she said, was
to tell the world about the Press and to
find the money to make books come
alive. "We created something that had
not existed before — but it was really
Leonard who put the Press on the map:'
she said.
In 2013, Wayne State University devel-
oped new protocols for the volunteer
boards that support many of its schools
and adjunct organiza-
tions; they were all
renamed boards of
visitors.
Elaine Driker of
Detroit was finish-
ing a term as chair of
the board of Hillel of
Metro Detroit, which
Elaine Driker
is based at WSU. A
Leonard N. Simons and his daughter
Mary Lou Zieve at the dedication of the
WSU Press Building in his name, 1994
Wayne State alumna and avid supporter,
she started working with Ferreyra to
develop a framework and procedures
for the Press' new board of visitors.
Eventually, she was asked to serve as its
chair.
The WSU Press Board of Visitors now
has 21 members, a third of whom are
Jewish, Driker said.
One of the new board's first acts was
to name Mary Lou Zieve "emeritus
chair" in honor of her years of work for
the Press.
Margaret Winters of Grosse Pointe
is also on the board. A past provost
who was ultimately responsible for the
success of the endeavor, she says she is
impressed by the ways the Press sup-
ports scholarship, especially the volumes
it has published about Yiddish and the
Yiddish-speaking world.
The Press has won numerous awards
for its Jewish studies work, including six
National Jewish Book Awards.
Last year, the Press received a $95,000
grant from the Mellon Foundation
and the National Endowment for the
Humanities, Wayne State University's
first The Press and the university's
libraries will use the funds to digitize 59
out-of-print Jewish studies and regional
titles for open access and reprinting.
Driker says the Press is a Detroit jewel
that's hidden in plain sight
"Many people I speak with think it's
there only to publish academic journals:'
she said. "They're not aware of the wide
and deep variety of books it publishes
annually"
She said she sees the 75th anniver-
sary as an opportunity to introduce
more people to the Press and all it has
to offer. *
The Sept. 30 free 75th celebration party
will be from 5-8 p.m. at the N'Namdi
Center for Contemporary Art, 52 E.
Forest, Detroit. Meet authors and enjoy
music, food and a cash bar. RSVP to
