Israeli Consul Sees No Hope in Mideast

David Zohar. information consul for the Israeli consulate general in Los Angeles, told a Hillel lunch gather ing Wednesday the recent Arab-Israeli war shattered any remaining hope that the East-West detente could be extended to the troubled Middle East.
The search for a lasting peace, said Zohar. has been severely hampered by the intervention of the Soviet Union, which has supplied the Arab nations with billions of dollars of sophisti cated weapons.
“SINCE PETER the Great. Russia has aspired to control the Middle East, replacing Britain as a power,” he said. “A strong Egypt is a Soviet ally and a key to its purpose.”
Speaking in Hillel House. Zohar said every Egyptian defeat struck a blow against Soviet plans in the Middle East, and thus constituted a greater chance for peace. Conversely, any Egyptian triumph would result in oil blackmail by the Arabs, he said.
The British-born Zohar further criticized the Soviet Union for its instigative role in the confrontation.
“Arab terrorists were trained in the Soviet Union and were dedicated to Israeli genocide,” said Zohar.
IN ADDITION TO missiles, he said, Moscow rearmed the Arab nations with Soviet air force jets and pilots, some of whom, he claimed, were shot down during the last war by Israeli aircraft.
However, the United States at least partially offset the flow of Soviet supplies to the Arabs by delivering a rush order of $2.2 billion in armaments to Israel “Israel is not accepting any United States war material as a gill.” he said. “We have paid for everything.” HOWEVER. ZOHAR said privately afterward that Israel will probably be paying for the war supplies in the next few decades before the debt is settled.
Israel, he said, acceded to U.S. pressure and permitted a rescue unit to relieve the trapped remnants of the Egyptian Third Army in the Sinai desert.
“We were compelled to supply the beleaguered enemy forces with all that they need.” he said. “It's ridiculous. I do not remember Gen. (Dwight D.) Eisenhower sending assistance to the trapped German Panzer divisions.”
He expressed grave concern over continued American support in the wake of the current energy shortage. Even more important, he said, was the false sense of
detente many Americans were lulling themselves into since the rapprochment with the Soviet Union.
“The Russians chose this period of the year to attack partly because ofthe domestic events in the U.S..” he said. “There is a post-Vietnam malaise in America now. People ask. ‘Why send out troops to fight in foreign wars?’ ”
THE ISRAELI CONSUL praised President Nixon for refusing to bend under tremendous Soviet pressure last week in his decision to mobilize the armed forces for a possible military encounter in the Middle East.
“You must remember we are dealing with ruthless gangster regimes who will not stop at genocide if they can get away with it.” said Zohar.

Dean Calls for Women s Programs
BY SHERRY STERN

The need for undergraduates to participate in special programs for women was the concern of Joan Schaefer, dean of women, at a teach-in session of the Women's Resource Center Wednesday.
The session, the third in a series at the center, offered
many speakers who informed the women on programming. facilities, and activities aimed for them.
One reason undergraduates aren't enrolling in the courses for women's study is that all four classes are numbered in the 400's.
THE COURSES are Sex. Power and Politics” in political science: “Development

Even though the courses study women and sex problems. the students in these classes are coed and from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.
There are some noncredit courses also being planned for women. Those scheduled for next semester are 8-week sessions and cost $45 each.
They are "Life Planning for Women.” "Changing Woman in a Changing World.” "Effective Speaking Communication and Women.” and “Property Management.”
The residence halls advisors staff has developed a special program series on the subject. The name ofthe series is “Everything Your Mother Forgot to Tell You (And Your Father. Too)."
The discussions cover areas of sexual behavior. They are for both men and women. The next one is on
birth control and will be Thursday. (Nov. 1) at 7 p.m. in EVK’s Harris Lounge.
OTHER ACTIVITIES in
the Women's Complex include an exercise class daily at 7 p.m. in Harris Lounge, and a bus service to W’est-wood.

the pretrial process of discovery. they could force the university to release the spending records for each academic department, which he said was refused to them at a meeting this spring.
AT THAT MEETING, four students met with Zohrab A. Kaprielian. vice-president for academic administration and research, and Taylor W. Meloan, associate vice-president.
They discussed variou aspects ofthe financial operation of the university, and specifically the expenditure of tuition revenues.
Meloan said last week that he thought the students had been provided with all the information they requested.
“THE ONLY RECORDS we might not have been able to supply them with would have been related to confidential matters such as the individual salaries of faculty members, or records that are not kept in the way the students asked for them.” Meloan said.
