84 New Members Are Initiated In B'nai B'rith IVIonday
taiinched in 1927, A. Z. A. Sab- batli is a part of the year- round program of religious ac¬ tivity which includes attendance at religious services, sponsor¬ ship of_ junior congregations, ob¬ servance of all religious holidays by chapter programs, and an¬ nual contests in sermon-writing and Hebrew letter-writing. liand A. Z. A.'s Effort
Leaders of American .ludaism this week paid tribute to the re¬ ligious program of A. Z. A. in statements made public at A. Z. A. headquarters Dr. James G. Heller, Cincinnali, president of the Central Conference of Ameri¬ can Rabbis, declared that "A. Z. A. is trying to do an essential Job among young Jews. And its annual Sabliath observance ought to mean the rededication of young men to Judaism in a day they need their religion des¬ perately."
Dr. David de Sola Pool, New York, noted Orthodox rabbi, as¬ serted that A. Z. A. Sabbath "is a highly valuable instrument for impressing our Jewish youth in America with a sense of those traditional Jewish values inher¬ ent in Judaism which are the sole cause and purpose of our survival as a people." Dr. is- rael Chipkln, secretary of the American Association for Jewish Education and president of the National Conference of Jewish Social Work, said "I am ail for it. TI e fact that the A. Z. A. members themselves contiuct such service.s is to their tTedlt." The late Dr. Edward L. Israel, executive director of the Union of American Hebrew Congrega. tions and president of the Syna¬ gogue Council of America, wrote shortly before passing that A. Z. A., "using the strong frater¬ nal bonds to re-enforce spiritual values, is arming our Jewish youth with the only real weapon which can bring us successfully through tha trying period in •which'we now live."

Under the professional (litection of Michael Schwartz of Columbus, the Players re¬ claimed tlieir right lo be recog¬ nized as one of the finest stu¬ dent dranuitlL' groups on the campus
Alene Ray Taussig and Mar¬ vin Goldston handled their lead¬ ing roles exceiilionaliy well. They were su|iported by Mor¬ ton Shapiro, llari-y Selinger, Howard .Lacobson. Kugene Horo¬ witz, Mort,on Stantllfer, Rona Rapiian, Dan Simon and ,Ierry Lustlg, all of whom turned our finished iierformances.
"R. U. R." is a grim fantasy resembling the theme of the old Jewish legend of the Golem. Rossum's Rotiots, just like the faclst robots of loday, have no sense of decency, honor or pity. The two are determined to des¬ troy civilization.
The performance will be re¬ pealed tonight (Saturday) 8 00 p. m., at U. HaU Chapel. Tick els are available at the box of¬ fice, with a 40c charge for ad¬ mission.
