Final Preparations Underway For Center's 'Alice In Wonder1 Backstage at the Roth/ Resler Theatre of the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center is a flurry of activity as final preparations take place for the Popcorn Players Children's Repertory Theatre's production of Alice in Wonder, a play by Virginia Glascow Koste, based on the stories by Lewis Carroll. Alice's adventures take place in a world of fantasy, a world that is the conception of Mark Zetterberg, technical.'director and set designer at the Jewish Center. Zetterberg, who has been at the Center since January, was the creator of the set for Gallery Players' production oiFiddleron the Roof earlier this season. Unlike the realism of Fiddler's set, his plans for Alice revolve around playing cards, a checkerboard, fantasy and imagination. Why this particular design? Zetterberg has done a couple dozen set of Alice and says he tries to keep each one different so he doesn't get bored. And, as he explained, the variety of scenes within this play produces a challenge to design a -versatile set. "There are so many scenes in this show—with a realistic set it could get in a bind real fast," he said. So to avoid such a "bind," Zetterberg has Alice's wanderings taking place in a house of playing cards which he is in the process of constructing. The "house" will be built out of 36 cards which.are almost completed; but Zetter berg says he's relying on the help of the Parents' Support Group to help with the cards and the rest of the set. Under Zetterberg's guidance, backstage efforts should produce a fantasy- filled world for Alice and those who share her adventures throughout the production's run. NEW YORK (JTA)-One of the world's leading experts on the Arab-Israeli conflict claims that Israel has two options regarding the future of the West Bank: one bad, the other worse. Prof. Yehoshafat Harkabi, a former chief of Israel's intelligence'service and presently a professor of international relations and Middle East studies at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, "The choices Israel is facing are not between good and bad, but between bad and worse. The worse for Israel is to annex the West Bank. By annexation, Israel will solve some of its security problems but, at the same time, will significantly increase the number of the Arabs in the country, creating a new Jewish-Arab state with many, many tensions." According to Harkabi, who is also a General (res.) in the Israeli army, "Israel will become a new Belfast in the Mideast. Such a state will be an easy target for the Arab countries. It will be a weak and unstable state." Furthermore, he said, "Jews from other countries will not come to* settle in such a state and Israel will be further isolated in the international community and in the United Nations since (Security Council) Resolution 242, the only resolution accepted so far by the Arabs and Israel as a basis for a Mideast settlement, does not recognize annexation." Harkabi warned that the annexation of the West Bank by Israeli "would perpetuate the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Arabs are presently weak and Israel is strong, but this situation might change in the future...."

The hopes, fears and excitement of those immigrants vividly come to life in "Ellis Island: The Golden Door," a slide presentation to be shown at 2 p.m., May 22, at the Jewish Center. Produced and presented by Tom Bernardin, a former National Park Service Ranger at Ellis Island, the show is part of the community conference, "Jewish Immigration to America," sponsored by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies at the Ohio State University. Nearly half of all Americans have ancestors who came through Ellis Island, experts estimate. Since their arrival, they -have both shaped and been absorbed by American society. Yet their first step in America lives on in the photographs of Agustus Sherman, a clerk and staff photographer at Ellis Island. Sherman's collection is the basis for Ber- nardin's show. Combining humorous anecdotes with historical background, the presentation entertains, informs and touches the viewer. During his three years at Ellis Island, Tom Bernardin gave tours of the immigra tion facilities to diverse groups including the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and lumbus premiere. This film is on loan from the National Archives of Jewish Film.

Nevertheless, he continued, "I believe it is the better choice for Israel. I am not a leftist. All I am interested in is the welfare of Israel and I reached the conclusion that a moderate policy would benefit Israel better than a hawkish approach." Harkabi, who was an ad- . visor on Arab affairs to both Premier Yitzhak Rabin and to Premier Menachem Begin ("I resigned,as Begin's advisor after a few months") said he is in favor of a "conditional negotiation" between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. "I believe that a survey among Palestinians would prove that most of them consider the PLO as their representative," he said. "This is an ugly organization, no doubt, by its actions and ideology—but brie does, not negotiate only with those he loves." Harkabi conceded that "the public in Israel is not willing to negotiate with the PLO. But I do not differentiate between the PLO and the Palestinians. If we will not negotiate with them, we will perpetuate the conflict. Perpetuation of the conflict is not in Israel's interest."
