Hillel Sponsoring activities as varied as Jewish cooking classes and lessons in the Hebrew language, Hillel provided a center for Jewish fellowship on The Uni- versity of Texas campus. Rabbi Neal Borovitz came to Hillel in August, to serve as teacher, counselor and religious leader to the UT Jewish community. Hillel provided lox and bagel breakfasts on week- ends as well as weekly movies. Speakers included Professor Roy Mersky and United Jewish Appeal Director Rabbi Earl Jordon. The 1975-1976 aca- demic year was highlighted by a guest performance by Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jew-Boys. Hillel also sponsored testing for Tay Sachs dis- ease, an ever-increasing problem affecting people of eastern European origin and descent.
