BY JO MARKS RIFKIN StaffWriter
In an effort to cross cultural bound- aries, black and Jewish students at the University of Pittsburgh were to meet for an evening of dialogue this week. The Black Action Society partnered with the The Edward and Rose Berman Hillel Jewish University Center (JUC) on Wednesday to present an award-win- ning PBS film, "From Swastika to Jim Crow," followed by a student discus- sion. The program is the first in a series of events that will bring together student groups from various cultural back- grounds. "I think it's a great opportunity for us to talk publicly about our fears, and build bridges that need to be put in place," said Jackie Braslawsce, JUC program director for Pitt. "That's my vision and that's what I hope t'6 bring to my students here in Pittsburgh. It's not an option. It has to be done."

Ed Rendeil's decision to WHICH GROUP CAM 9ETHETO FRMTHE "GREENHOUSE EFFECT'//?I make the environment the cor- Gnerstone of his 2004 budget proposal should be music to the ears of conservationists and — hopefully — the 4 Jewish community. Rendeil's budget, which he introduced this week, will propose funding to im- prove state streams, forests and parks. It would stimulate economic growth with $2 billion in state bonds, which include loans for capital projects and money for water and sewer systems. He also proposes more funding for "nature tourism," which includes hunt- ing, fishing, hiking, bicycling, boating, camping and bird watching; and invest- ing up to $100 million in programs of the state Fish and Boat Commission, in- cluding improvements to fish hatch- eries that are used to stock streams and lakes for fishermen. To some, Rendeil's emphasis may seem misguided. They think he should make tax reduction — the mantra of his 2002 campaign for governor — and ed- ucation reform his highest priorities. Indeed, we shouldn't let the governor forget his pledge to do something about property taxes as soon as his first day in office. Still, Rendell is on to something.
