TORONTO —
Canadian Jewish Congress continues to provide regional services to universities associated with Canadian Union of Jewish Students (CUJS), but Congress is still waiting for a reply from the campuses regarding offers of fiirther assistance.
The students' delay in responding has some Congress officials wondering whether they really desire financial aid from CJC. according to Steve Ain, assistant executive director of Canadian Jewish Congress.
• ^ We're wUling to talk to them, but we're not going to throw money out of the window," he said in a telephone conversation from Montreal, referring to the* question as to whether CUJS ^uld be_ organized along regional* or central lines.
Steve Taylor, Congress' Central Region director of youth services, told The Canadian Jcwisb News present assistance is to h eJ p Jewish students across~ the~countiy establish/programs and organize conferences. \
iThe conflict between Congress and the sjtudoits dates back to eariy this year. At a national meeting last summer, students pushed for a nation-wide convention to discuss Omgress fiindbg of CUJS
and student autonomy.
CUJS has some 3;500 members in 26 campuses in Canada. Part of its funding comes from Congress.
Gordon Marantz, chairman of CUJS' advisory committee, said in an interview last July that the national meeting had accomplished nothing because "students said they wouldn't-take our money unless they had everything their way."

JERUSALEM —
Two readers have sent me enquiries about recipes, and I am sure they would like to share the recipes with other readers, so here they are:
Mrs. David Collins of Toronto wrote to me , shortly after Rosh Hasha-
nah to tell me that her husb&nd has been looking for a recipe for Mehd, the honey liqueur I mentioned in my column. . I have managed to track one down for you. Mrs. Collins, but unfortunately., have not tested it myself: wooden barrels and hops are not that easy to come by here.
1 would suggest you contact a beer manufacturer and ask his advice on both these requirements. If your husband turns out some respectable Mehd. please let me know, I' should like to report on your results. Good luck, and many thanks for your good wishes.
Another Torontonian reader, Mrs. Molly Anele-vitz, writes to ask for a recipe for the Israeli snack felafel. As no doubt, Mrs. Anelevitz has seen the Israeli packaged feMel mix in the stores (which to my mind, is not at all bad) I assume that she is talking
about making it from scratch.
I have given a recipe below which starts almost from scratch — the chickpeas are cooked, canned ones., rather than home-cooked, dried ones. If you want to be more authentic, try the longer way. 1 am told it tastes better anyhow.
Many imiv^]n»ty students are not part of * literate cultureElaJhe Newton claims
By Wanda L. Whitrobe
TORONTO —
Elaine Newton, an associate professor at York University's department of humanities, says that today's freshmen students are thinking well but not necessarily writing well.
A former book reviewer for The Oobe and MaU« Prof. Newton explained: "A lot are thinUng on a better level than we did on entering. But the bulk of kids are not part of a literate culture. Those skills are the tools."
What upsets her is the tragic mass of students who are unable to think or to articulate ■ cohesively. 'She does not believe the 'written word is dead. "It's only the teacher's fault in part." she emphasized. "Overcrowded c 1 a s s-rooms are also to blanie; homes without books and the over access of television.
"The university may have to rethink its role in terms of mass education," she said, "but 1 don't think we do anybody a favor if we lead them to feel they have been educated when they are not literate. I'm delighted that everjv freshman is now required to take a humanities course.''
To organize humanities courses. Prof. Newton, a traditional scholar of Eng.-lish, combines her know-' ledge of history, philosophy, classics and the social sciences to provide a "multi-disciplinary" look at subjects like "The American Civilization —'■ Tradition and Disisent in American Experience." or "Alien to Ahrhetype: the
Elame Newton
North American Jewish Experience." This latter course she team-teaches with Rabbi Michael Brown.
She has taught at York for the last seven years.
Elaine Newton is also program co-ordinator of individualized studies for the university's faculty of arts. In 1972, she was appointed senior tutor of Calumet College, becoming the first woman to • hold this title for any college at York.
As senior tutor. Prof. Newton assumed the role of academic head of Calumet, directing 50 facility members and 1,000 students. Recently, she was the recipient of an OCUFA teaching award, an honor presented aii; nuajly to 10 outstanding professors, by the Association of University Teachers of Ontario.
"Teaching techniques' can't be learned," she said. "It's like writing.' You bring your personal approach to the subject. My inclination is to begin with a Freudian or Jun-

gian outlook."
Prof. Newton's original training was in psychology and social work — before she plunged back into the world of academia, starting her M.A. degree in English, nine years ago. Today, she sits on numerous educational committees for the university and of utmost importance, she has been elected to represent the faculty on the university senate*
To many in the Jewish community, Elaine Newton is remembered for her earlier pursuits in the cause of literature. In
addition to writing book reviews for The Globe and Mail, she proved herself a stimulating lecturer for the Hadassah Caravan. She still leads independent study groups within the community and will be giving a course entitled "The Literature of the Golden Land," at Holy Blossom Temple's Academy of Judaism.
Discussing her private life. Prof. Newton said * * We are a family of four." Her son. Jack, is 19 and a third-year history student at York.  She has two.
daughters, Maria, 16, and Lori, 12. "1 have very eclectic kids. They have good yeri)al skills and handle logical argument well."
The slim, red-headed professor describes herself as having "tiemen-dous energy. Teaching , takes everything; but no matter how tired 1 am, we always have guests in the house for Shabbat and Yomtov dinners." She plays tennis three mornings a week, at 8:30 a.m.. and is in her office by 9:30 a.m.
