"Kenya," Rep. Schneider said, "is a land in trouble. "But," she insisted, "unless we examine our research more carefully, many dollars of U.S. aid will continue to be wasted." Although American scientists try to reproduce exact growing conditions in Kenya, many results are unsatisfactory. "We need better information about the people of Kenya," Schneider said. "They are desperate for knowledge and shared technology." She also spoke of the genuine concern of the people who recognize their problem of overpopulation.

KINGSTON - At the tenth annual meeting of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation at the University of Rhode Island on Monday night this week, Rabbi Samuel Fishman, Associate International Hillel Director, spoke about the changing attitudes on college campuses and how Hillels can play an important role in involving Jewish college students. He also cautioned against becoming overly alarmed about anti-Semitism and the issue of the pro-Arab lobby on campuses which he felt, statistically, does not pose as great of a threat as is frequently . - perceived. "The issues on college campuses have changed since the political upheavals of the 1960's," Rabbi Fishman said. "The university is now becoming more aligned with the public than we might realize.

    ASSOCIATES NEWSLETTER FALL 2006 Alison Klayman ’06 and Julia Liu ’06 Debut “Women’s Only” Video On the morning of Saturday, March 18, 2006, Alison Klayman ’06 and Julia Liu ’06 screened their film, “Women’s Only” to a crowd of over one hundred people. “It was the culmination of all our work,” says Liu. “We got such wonderful feedback on the content as well as the presentation.” The final film evolved greatly from its initial concept. Klayman explains that her mother was the first woman to graduate from Columbia in the 1970s, and she continued to blaze a trail as she became an oral surgeon at a time when few women had entered the profession. “I had always thought about creating a film of my mom’s story, but I started to think about Pembroke College and the first women students at Brown,” says Klayman. “I also thought a lot about what was happening at Brown when Alison Klayman ’06 and Julia Liu ’06 Pembroke College disappeared as its own entity in 1971.” In the spring of 2004, Liu and Klayman applied for the film on the cutting room floor, they settled on three stories highly coveted CV Starr National Service Fellowship through to tell in their film: the 1968 walkout, led by Black women the Swearer Center for Public Service at Brown.

  • My Life in Providence
    MY LIFE IN PROVIDENCE BY DR. CARL JAGOLINZER WTTH JENNIFER WEISS JOURNEYS TO AMERICA My parents, Philip and Kate Jagolinzer, had a long and difficult journey from Russia to the United States. Life in Russia during the late 1800s was quite difficult. Poverty, disease, and much anti-Semitism were coupled with political unrest and unreasonable demands upon the people. Jews were being blamed and tortured for government's failure within the system. The family story relates that, in 1885, when Philip and Kate were planning to be married, news leaked out that Russian soldiers on drunken sprees were going to massacre Jews in their area. In response to the unbearable persecution of Russian Jews, a wealthy philanthropist in a nearby country* had made secret arrangements for Jews to escape on a cattle ship to Argentina, where he had bought land. My father and mother married in haste and joined others on the four-week voyage to Argentina, where they settled in a small town named Moises Ville. The Russian Jews were given barren plots of land where they were to build houses and create a new life. My father had some experience in shoeing horses and became the village blacksmith. Three sons, Harry, Joe, and Max, were born in Argentina. The family lived in poverty and hardship but relative security until rumors began to circulate that danger was soon to come for the Jews. Acting quickly, my father and other men escaped on a ship departing for England. Weeks later, my mother and her three young sons, along with other families, were also helped to escape to England and were reunited with my father.
