Scheduling conflicts
with Jewish holiday
Christ-Janer's widow
sues for insurance
Animal, Dairy Science
undergo merge this year
By ROB MASSEY
Assistant news editor
Two departments in the Uni
versity’s agriculture school
were combined by the Board of
Regents this July, in an eflort
to "promote efficiency,” ac
cording to Dr Louis Boyd,
director of academics for the
Cooperative Extension Service
The joining of the depart
ments of Animal Science and
Dairy Science became effective
on Aug 1
Previously the small staff of
"seven or eight” faculty mem
bers created several problems.
Bovd explained, including du
plication of responsibility
"The administrative func
tions it took two or three
people to do before, one person
can do now .” he said
Boyd, who has "received the
responsibility of pulling it toge
ther.” added that faculty turn
over had also been a problem,
with separate departments
"If someone resigned or
retired, we were left with no
choice but to replace them
from outside." he said.
The idea of combining the
departments had been studied
before, according to Boyd, but
it was the recent retirement of
Dr H B Henderson, head of
Dairy Sciences, that "precipi
tated this move.”
"We were unable to hire an
outstanding individual .is de
partment head.” he explained
"and we decided to go ahead
and try to make the change."
Boyd said that "all those
advisors, committees and legis
lators" who had looked at the
operation had unanimously re
commended the combination
The change did not come at
the best time, according to
Boyd, because a lot of faculty
are on vacation but he expects
things to "fall into place” soon.
In the transition, there was
no reduction of the faculty and
"there will be absolutely no
effect on the academic endea
vors of the students.” Boyd
added.
"At the moment, we plan to
continue separate B.S. degrees
in Dairy Science. Animal Sci
ence and Environmental Health
Studies.” he said, adding that
*’in the future we might lx* well
advised to eliminate some of
the duplication."
Boyd emphasized that there
would be "no cut backs that
were not for the better "
To illustrate changes that
might be made. Boyd pointed
out that courses in animal
breeding where the procedures
for dairy or beef cattle are "no
different."

Due to an oversight in sche
duling. registration and the
first day of classes this quarter
fell on the same dates as the
Jewish holiday of Rosh Hoshan-
nah
When notified of the conflict
by B’nai Brith. a Jewish frater
nal organization. Dr William
L Hays, vice-president for
instruction, issued a directive
to the University community
stating that Jewish students
celebrating the holiday would
be allowed to register late
without penalty and would be
excused from the first day of
classes
Hays stated in the directive
that such conflicts would be
kept in mind in the future.
Louise McBee. Dean of Student
Affairs, agreed that more care
ful attention should be paid to
these matters.
"I’m sorry about the con
flict," McBee said "The calen
dars are set up two to three
years ahead of time. It was
nothing intentional, just a fluke
of early scheduling "
A member of Tau Epsilon
Phi. a predominantly Jewish
fraternity, said that most of
the students in TEP had regis
tered early. "We don’t think
it’s fair, but on the whole it’s
not really a conflict.” he said.
He added that Jewish stu
dents could attend services on
Monday night when Rosh
Hoshannah begins, or Tuesday
morning. Many Jewish stu
dents went home for the holi
day. according to another TEP
member
A member of Sigma Delta
Tau sorority, composed mainly
of Jewish students, said that a
lot of people were "upset” and
were having to miss services
in order to register.
The University should have
announced the conflict in Janu
ary so Jewish students could
preregister, in the opinion of
Michael Kose. director of Hillel
House.
A lot of Jewish students were

hope they read about the
conflict 'in two southern Jewish
newspapers.'
"The University should try
to take all students into consi
deration." Kose said He added
lhal most Jews consider Rosh
Hoshannah their most impor
tant holiday.
The holiday began Monday
evening anil concludes today.
However, all 10 days between
Rosh Hoshannah and Yom
Kippur. which is next week,
are considered High Holy Days,
according to Kose.
Kose pointed out that these
two holidays are different from
other Jewish holidays in that
they do not commemorate any
historical event Rosh Hoshan
nah is a "holiday between an
individual and his creator, a
time of penitence," Kose ex
plained

Days, he said
Virginia Christ-Janer, the wi
dow of Univerisity art profes
sor Albert Christ-Janer filed
suit in the Clarke County
Superior Court on Sept. 4
seeking double indemnity in
surance benefits from the John
Hancock Mutual Life insurance
company for her husband's
accidental death last December.
Christ-Janer was killed on
Dee. 12. 1973, when the car he
was driving plummeted from a
cliff near Bellagion, Italy.
Ms Christ-Janer, who claims
to have received only basic
benefits payments rather than
double indemnity guaranteed
by a clause in the policy, has
asked the court to award her
$55,000 in insurance benefits,
interest on that amount since it
became due and 25 percent of
the liability of the policy “on
account of the bad faith" of the
insurance company.
CHRIST-JANER was insured
by the Boston-based insurance
company through a University
group insurance plan.
Ms Christ-Janer, as benefici
ary, was guaranteed double
indemnity if lie died from
"external, violent and acci
dental causes."
The widow claims that she
has only received $55,000, or
basic benefits, from the insur
ance company following her
husband's death and that she
authorized her attorney to de
mand payment for additional
benefits in a letter to the
company dated May 22, 1974,
but that as of yet she has not
received the additional com
pensation.
HER SUIT states, "The
Plaintiff (Mrs Christ-Janer I
has furnished to defendant
(John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Co.) proof of acci
dental death in compliance
with the policy requirements,
and has demanded payment of
the amounts provided in said
policy and certificate of insur
ance."
Christ-Janer, who had been
an artist and administrator at
the University for over 30
years, also became a Fuller E
Callaway Foundation Professor
of Art in 1970 He was 63 years
old when he died.
The insurance policy involved
in the suit became effective
September 1, 1973, slightly
more than three months before
his death.

The money cannot come
from state funds unless the
center is involved uith Univer
sity instruction, according to
McBee. Making it a laboratory
for home economics, education
or sociology classes has been
suggested as one way of getting
state aid.
With stale-support the center
might be a possibility, but it is
too expensive an enterprise for
sole student funding." McBee
said
Subsidizing local day care
centers has been suggested as
a possible substitute for a
University center.
"Subsidies are a bottomless
pit." Andron said. "You’d put
all that money in and get
nothing back 1 think it’s a
terrible idea.”
