Fellow Students: Together with this Elchanite, I wish to present to you the lessons I have learned during my term of office. If I have been unable to carry out the original plans of the '45 Elchanite as announced previously in the school, it is be- cause they were made with the expectation of the usual amount of student help and cooperation. This aid, however, did not materialize, for I can count on my fingers the few students who took an active interest in the Elchanite. Furthermore, these few brought with them much good-will but not the slightest amount of knowledge or experience in preparing a school publication. I do not make these statements as an apology or excuse for any shortcomings of this magazine. Rather, I state them to set up a goal for students of Talmudical Academy which, if at- tained, will assure them of good Elchanites in years to come. First, an increase, or rather, a birth of school spirit must take place. Perhaps if student leaders and Administration conducted an extensive campaign with all the means at their command instead of standing by idly and be-wailing little participation in student activities, some progress could be made along this line. Secondly, if future staffs are to consist of trained men, oppor- tunity must be provided and encouragement given to those who want to obtain a training in journalism which will ready them for a position on the staff of the Elchanite or of the Academy News. Talmudical Academy offers no facilities for the study of journalism at present. These suggestions have obtained value to me through bitter experience. To present the pleasant side of the picture, I must extend my thanks to the Administration for the free hand it has given me in the matter of contents and to those, students or others, who in any manner helped me. Finally, I want to eX- press my sincerest appreciation for the technical knowledge and Willingness to work which Stanley Wexler continually placed at my disposal.

'-s.- 135 min nr: is Staring into the night . . lHHlWHHH he war is over. But peace has not yet come to more than a million homeless Jews in devastated Eur- ope. These Jews lack the basic necessities of life - - food, clothing and shelter - - as well as the most elementary political rights. Afraid to return home because anti-Semi- tism is still rampant in their native lands, in-ost of them huddle in the tr displaced persons camps and sub- sist on meager allotments from Al- lied and Jewish relief agencies. Their suffering is unparalleled by any other victims of this war - torn world ........ VVe who edit this Elchanite had hoped to revert to peacetime format as soon as the war was over. It did not take us long to change our minds. We could not claim in the face of repeated reports of starvation a.nd renewed pogroms that the lot of the Jews had improved in the days after V-J day. Indeed, we would have felt very guilty if we had returned to the business-as-usual stages and put out a high-toned, four color Q They sit on piles of dust and debris
