JSU includes visibility as major goal

The Jewish Student Union
helps students become aware of
University life the director of the
organization says.
“While some organizations
might be specifically social, cul
tural or political, we try to sponsor
activities in each area," JSU coor
dinator Keith Berne says.
JSU's major goals of organiza
tion are the establishment of a
Jewish presence at the University,
and the creation of an outlet for the
viewing of Jewish culture, Berne
says.
To accomplish those goals,
JSU has organized a program as
sisting prisoners at the Oregon
State Penitentiary and is planning
a Hannukah party for Jewish in
mates in an effort to continue rap
port with the prisoners.
“These prisoners are lonely,
solated people with a lack of con
:act with the Jewish community
and a lack of facilities for Jewish
arisoners," Berne says. "When I
ast visited the penitentiary, one
juy leaned over to me and said
We don't want your money, we
vant your love.’ We hope to rep
esent their interests within the
jrison,” Berne says.
The JSU also is sponsoring a
winter lecture series entitled
“Faith and the Human Condition,”
together with the Campus Christ
an Ministry and Temple Beth Is
ael. Among the guest speakers
will be actor Joseph Wiseman,
who will do dramatic readings
rom Jewish literature, and Max
*/orspan, host of the television
show "Commitment," who will ex
slore the facts about “Jewish
jower".
The JSU has been funded by
the Incidental Fee Committee for
wo years. During this time, both
he funds and office space have
expanded.

“It’s the Democrats' responsibil
ity to organize the House since
they have the majority,'' says Rep.
Dave Frohnmayer, R-Eugene. “I
want to see if they can put it to
gether themselves."
He means the Republicans
aren’t offering any deals, and are
likely preparing to elect their own
speaker in 1981.
Only one thing is assured: that
bill of $35,000 per day will be an
inauspicious start for the year of
fiscal conservatism so touted dur
ing the campaign.

Major JSU decisions are made
by a steering committee meeting
twice a month. These meetings
are open to the public and to the
200 members on the mailing list.
“We want as many people as pos
sible to suggest ideas at the com
mittee meetings so that we will
have some view of what people
want the JSU to do for them,”
Berne says.

Jerry Forse and Stacey Loeb.

because that is one aspect of
Jewish community life," Berne
says. “You get something out of it
because you put time into it, and
besides, we're here for the fun of
it,” Berne says.
