Ground to be Broken Soon for New Hillel Building
The long-awaited . new build¬ ing tor the B'nal B'rith Hillel Foundation at Ohio State Uni¬ versity will soon be a reality! At Us last meeting, tbe Hillel Ad¬ visory Board announced that ground will be broken within ¦a few months, according to cur¬ rent plans.
Another encouraging announce, ment released by the Board was that the chapel ot the new building will be dedicated to the Jewish war dead from OSU. A special $40,000 fund now is being raised for this memorial by stu¬ dents, alumni, parents, and Hll¬ lel friends throughout the coun- tr. ¦.
The original Hillel building campaign for $100,000 (Schan¬ farber Memorial Fund) has al¬ most reached Its expected goal, according to Mr. Julius Stein¬ hauser, chairman and treasurer, who reveals that almost $94,000
in cash is already on hand.
The chapel war memorial, which Is to be an integral part ot the new structure, will be the final Utile In making possible the long-awaited dream of a new Hillel. home.
No wide-spread campaign out¬ side ot the immediate Hlllel fam¬ ily and a few Interested friends is  contemplated.
Mr. Edward Schlezinger, pres¬ ident of the Hillel Advisory Board, announces that some substantial gltts have already been received from members of the Hlllel Advisory Board and other interested friends in the community. Jewish students on tJie campus, according to Rabbi Harry Kaplan, director of Hlllel, have pledged 20 percent ot their current Jewish Student fund campaign of $10,000 to this pro¬ ject. Similar gifts are contem¬ plated during the coming years. An  energetic   committee  under
the direction of the Hillel Stu¬ dent Councii and the Hillel Cab¬ inet Is making plans to contact alumni and parents in various parts ot the country.
Forty-five outstanding young men who were members-ot Hillel and its affiliated groups on the campus lost their lives in World War II. Both the Hillel Advisory Board and the Hillel student leaders feel that no greater tri¬ bute could be paid to these he¬ roes than to honor their memor¬ ies with a beautiful memorial chapel. The new Hillel building will thus pay tribute not only to E. J. Schanfarber, beloved leader and friend ot youth, but will also recall with loving mem¬ ory the lives of those young people to whom Mr. Schanfarber and the entire Jewish commun¬ ity of America were so devoted. Plans for the new Hlllel building were recently present¬ ed at meetings of the Advisory
Board and Hillel Student Cabi¬ net. The structure will Include a two-story building with audi¬ torium, chapel and library in one wing, and with lounge, of¬ fices, meeting rooms, music room, kitchen andxlub and game
taclUties  in the second wing.
It is hoped that the first unit, consisting of auditorium, chapel and library will be available for use during the fall 1948 quarter. The remaining unit wlil be ready a few months thereafter.
