Sadat re
(Continued from Page 1)
Sadat,;"
Sadat's Center party made every,
effort to assure a triumphant welcome
to demonstrate to other Arab leaders
that the Egyptians were behind their
president.
The crowds fell short of the three
million forecast by officials and many
people did not appear to be too happy.
Some may have been disappoainted
that Sadat's dramatic trip did not bring
definite concessions from the Israelis.
AMONG ARAB leftists Sadat's visit
to the capital of the Israeli enemy, his
recognition of the Jewish state and his
call for peace unleashed a murderous
wrath, climaxing in a call for Sadat's
assassination by the Syrian-controlled
Saiqa guerrilla group.
But to millions of viewers who wat-
ched the visit on television around the
world the visit was a breathtaking
event. Belgian Foreign Minister Henri
Simonet called it a "brilliant victory"
for Israel.
Fleming addresses
Senate Assembly
University president, Robben Flem-
ing addressed the bi-annual meeting of
the Faculty Senate yesterday at the
Rackham Amphitheatre. He confined
his remarks to a discussion of topical
financial and academic matters.
Fleming projected a January date be-
fore a viable budget is realized. The big
question facing the university finan-,
ciers is the question of formula funding.
"They have come up with a more
sophisticated formula. It amounts to a
re-affirmation of funding," Fleming
said. "We have no reason to suspect
that our support will be greater than in
other years."

sin triumph
In Washington, a StateDepartment Begin echoed the theme at the farewell
spokesman called Sadat's journey "a ceremony at Ben-Gurion Airport:
positive and good step. We think this "~Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of
has contributed to the search for peace Israel and Egypt, we have reached un-
and we are hopeful of the results." derstanding that there will be no more
wars between our nations.
IN HIS FINAL statement to Israel's
cabinet members in Jerusalem, Sadat
said: "Let us raise two slogans-no
war, and security.
'"No war. Let every girl, every
woman, every mother, here and in my
country, know that we shall solve all
our problems through negotiations
around the table rather than start
wars.
Israel's Prime Minister Menahem
"WE SHALL MAKE peace," he ad-
ded as Sadat's Egyptian jetliner lifted
off Israeli soil. "I am sure, I am sure."
At a joint news conference earlier
yesterday,,Begin proclaimed the visit
"a real success." He said the chief
achievement was the start of "serious
direct dialogue . . . not only between
Israel and Egypt but with all the other
states."

No concrete decisions were made,
and both leaders did little more than
reiterate their positions on the Mideast
situation, but University, experts
heralded Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat's weekend trip to Israel as an im-
portant breakthrough in Egyptian-Is-
raeli relations. Furthermore, they
agreed, it could also be a significant
landmark in Arab-Israeli relations in
general.
But, the experts warn, the visit was
largely a "psychological, rather than
concrete, act" which needs to be fol-
lowed up by more substantial actions if
anything meaningful is to happen.
"THAT SADAT HAS made conces-
sions is only true in the context of the
last 30 years" said Political Science
Prof. Zvi Gitelman, "because in the last
30 years no trade has gone on, no travel,
no tourism, no exchange of books - not
to mention the four wars that have
taken place ... In that context, it was a
great step forward. But if you look at it
in absolute terms, all that has happened
is that a state that has bordered on
Israel for 30 years has finally acknowl-
edged that that state exists ...
"Acknowledgement is the first nor-
mal step in international relations, or in
human relations," Gitelman continued.
"And so Egypt has taken the first nor-
mal step in 30 years. All Sadat has said
is 'Now we can be normal enemies.'"
Others seemed to feel, however, that
Sadat has played out his hand, that the
conditions of life in Egypt and the need
for peace have forced hilm to make the
most drastic move he dares to make.
"He's gone the last mile," one profes-
sor commented. "All he can do now is
go off the fucking cliff."
THE MEDIA, some professors said,
has painted a picture of Arab unity
which does not really exist. This unity,
which some claim is the reason for cur-
rent discord and assassination threats
upon Sadat's life, is motivated only by
"self interest."
"There never has been Arab unity
that I know of ..." said History Prof.
Jehudah Reinharz. "Sadat has con-
cluded that the welfare of the people of
Egypt is more important than the
coalescence of the people of the Mid-
east."
History Prof. Richard Mitchell went
further. "For the moment, the Mideast
is being torn asunder ... but all wounds
will heal."
All the professors give Sadat credit,
qualified to various degrees, for taking
a calculated risk which could quite
possibly backfire and cost him his
political future - perhaps even his life.
"In the long run," said Political
Science Prof. Clement Henry, "adverse
Arab pressure may undermine him.
But he may also come out as the man
who made peace in the Mideast."

About 30 American and Israeli stu-
dents facilty and staff members
gathered Sunday night to sing songs
of peace and sample Middle Eastern
delicacies in what was billed as a
"get-together" between Arab and
Israeli students to .commemorate
Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's
trip to.Jerusalem.
One man slowly thumbed through
his copy of the welcoming address to
be given to Arab students. He never
got the chance to deliver that
address.
ONLY ONE ARAB student came to
the gathering in East Quad's Greene
Lounge.
"We are very sad," one Israeli
woman said of the low Arab turnout.
"Let's talk nicely for a change,"
she continued as others sang and
clapped to a Hebrew song of peace.
Even the songs are not military."
THE LONE Arab student who
came to the predominantly Israeli
gathering was a representative of the
campus chapter of the Organization
of Arab students who passed out
condemnations of Sadat's visit and
then hurried out.
The condemnation, printed on the
official stationery of the Arab organi-
zation, said in part: "The visit of
Sadat to Jerusalem is the final step in
the calculated attempt to destroy the
aims and aspirations of the Palestin-
ian revolution and the Arab masses
against international Zionism and its
collaborators . . . Down with Sadat.
Down with Zionism. Long live the
Palestinian revolution."
Despite the low Arab turnout for
Sunday night's gathering, Israeli
students vow not to give up on a
meeting between Arabs and Israelis
here.
"We're still holding our hope for
peace," one Israeli said.
