Hillel Policy
Board to Have
College \outh
STARLIGHT, Pa. (JTA) —
Jewish college youth have gained
voting representation on the
policy board of the B’nai B’rith
Hillel Foundation. Four under
graduates are being named to the
board, elected from an assembly
of 230 students at the week-long
Hillel summer institute at Camp
B’nai B’rith here. The four will
serve one-year terms as voting
members of Hillel’s national
commission.
The action was instigated in
March when the commission met
with a representative group of
Jewish activists from 32 camp
uses and leaders of 27 national
Jewish organizations. The com
mission decided at that time to
allow the college youth to join
the policy board. The student,
who were asked to comment on
the Jewish “establishment”
voiced criticism of their “disen
franchised status” and the fail
ure of the organized community
to include the student generation
into its decision-making struc
tures, according to the B’nai
B’rith.
Students from 110 American
and Canadian schools partici
pated in the summer institute.
They were asked to devise a pro
cedure for future elections that
can provide for broader student
representation among the under
graduate commissioners, includ
ing that of students not formally
affiliated with the Hillel move
ment.
Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn,
Hillel’s national director, said
the purpose of the move “is for
the students themselves to de
termine how they’ll choose their
representatives.” He said that
the “proportions of students who
will sit with the commission as
voting members will increase
substantially.”

WALTHAM, Mass.— Brandeis
University will host a conference
for scholars of Judaica Sept. 7-
10 when 42 professors from 23
institutions convene to discuss the
teaching of Judaica in American
colleges and universities.
The Colloquium on the Teach
ing of Judaica in American Uni

surge of interest” in Jewish
studies among American univer
sities, according to Dr. I>eon A.
Jick, associate dean of the fac

seemingly hoping to set off the
fuel tanks, which were by then
virtually dry.
When this proved unsuccessful,
he lobbed another explosive into
the front of the plane, which tore
off the nose of the craft.
Most of the briefings that the
crew had concerned possible
hijackings to Cuba, and they had
no specific instructions to cover
the Mideast situation. They there
fore tried to comply with the
commandos’ demands, while
maintaining the safety of the pas
sengers and plane.
There was never any indication
that the passengers included an
Israeli “war criminal,” as the
pirates first claimed. Oakley
doubts they really had hoped to
capture Gen. Yitzhak Rabin, Am
bassador to the U. S., as some
reports had indicated. “Surely
everyone would know that he
would be flying only on El Al,
for security and other reasons,”
he said.
There was an El Al plane,
Flight 300, following closely be
hind the hijacked plane, but the
TWA crew had no knowledge at
to who was aboard.
With the hijacking behind him
Oakley is ready to accept another
flight assignment. It is his hope
that the association of pilots may
have some salutory effect by
means of a group strike or other
effort to bring safety to inter
national travel.
“If the hijackers know in ad
vance that they will be returned
to the country of their crime,
and their punishment is inevita
ble, it may prevent this type of
situation from arising again,” the
co-pilot said.
