■pui j Then there it was, the last day of school, one more final to go and then you were free. The Student Center became a pub with everyone walking in the front door being proofed for age.

It began falling in the early afternoon and continued well into the night. Sanders and plows tr ied to make navigation by foot and car a little easier, but it didn ' t help. Road conditions were so bad that local police suggested that people stay on campus until conditions cleared.

On Thursday, the Jewish Federa- tion of North Jersey and the WPC Jewish Student Association spon- sored a reception in the Student Center conference room for Abra- ham Harmon, former Ambassador to the United States from Israel.

The question and answer period covered such topics as the United Nations, the Palestinian problem and the false equation of zionism as racism. President Harmon was also asked about students at the University. He felt that because Israeli students go through three years of mandatory military service, they tended to b( over mature and more influenced b ' the pressures of the times. Presiden Harmon summarized his feelings b ' saying, In protecting our own righ to exist in Israel, we are protecting universal interest.
