JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Israel has been urging the
United States to intervene
tirmly with Damascus (or
the removal of Syrian troops
from Nabatiyeh in southern
Lebanon 10 miles from the
Israeli border ^.Israel is
taking a very serious view of
what it regards as an alter¬
ation of the status quo in
Lebanon and is apparently
disturbed that Washington
does not regard the matter
with similar urgency.
The State Department
indicated Jan. 26 that it took
a calm view of troop move¬
ments by what it termed the
"Arab deterrent force"
which ' consists mainly of
Syrian" formations-
supposedly under the orders
of President Elias Sarkis of
Lebanon. But Israel con¬
siders the Syrians presence
at Nabatiyeh as part of plans
to establish a permanent
Syrian   base   in   southern
Syria intervened in the
Lebanese civil war last year.
Israel rejects Damascus'
contention "that the troop
movements are intended
only to block terrorist inlil
tration of southern Lebanon.
Israel has reportedly urged
the  U.SM.   not   to  permit
Syria to establish a. .pre¬
cedent and intensive con¬
tacts between Jerusalem
andi Washington continued
.Ian. 27.
Israel wants to resolve the
crisis quietly and the

vented   adoption   of   the
necessary legislation.

Center Promotes Lifetime Activities
American Schools Breed Inactive Youth
By Lauri Zofan
Chronicle-News Editor
PART II
(Editor's Note; Last week's Chronicle
discussed Dr. Ruskin's views on the
general physical condition ol the
American Jew.)
-Certain aspects of the
American school system are
seen by Dr. Hillel Ruskin, an
Israeli consultant to the
National Jewish Welfare
Board, as detrimental to the
physical health of today's
youth.
Hillel Ruskin
Dr. Ruskin claims that the
American educational
system fosters the disease of
'spectatoritis." "Most of the
physical education teachers
in the American school
system pay attention .mainly
to the representative,
competitive teams," he
noted.
He says that most of the
students are left on the side¬
lines' to observe the team,
and by this the student is
conditioned that he likes to
see other people doing
things, but that he doesn't
like to do them himself.
After the age of 18. Dr. .
Ruskin feels it is hard to
change these earlier^
motivational factors.
In .'addition,  Dr.  Ruskin
pointed out that these team
sports, which usually begin,
on the junior highlevel, are
nofe* -lifetime    sports.
