tre Society president Dr. Robert Krell thinks it was inevitableC "Unfortunately, that's the price to attempTto keep such persons out,"
Dr. Krejl, a psychiatrist who was hidden frOrn the Nazis as a child in the Netherlands, said he has found Irvirig's visits to Canada "insulting and disturbing." Fellow Holocaust sur^ vivors with whom he has spoken recently also "take these kinds of visits [of H oiotca.U s t - d e n i e r s ] with great difficulty."
Canadian Jewish Con-gress (Pacific Region) spokesman Michael Elterman believes local reporters have been lax in discussing the Holocaust.

Scientists at Weizmann
Out of a student body of 650 studying this year at the Weizmann Institute, 90 are olim from the CIS, says Prof. Ruth Arnon, vice-president of the Institute. Arnon said that the olim scientists are of a very high calibre and several will soon be instated as tenured employees. -
Russians teach English
Sixty olim from the CIS, trained as English teachers before making aliyah, are participating in a course to improve their spoken English, and help them integrate into the Israeli classroom. The olim hold Israeli teaching certificates and most have teaching positions.
Olim in Agriculture
The Ministry of Agriculr ture is planning a program through which olim would • be employed in the various branches of agriculture in Israel. According to the proposal, the ministry would provide training and transportation.

I n a statement; the Pacific Region said: "We applaud the [federal] government's quick application of law to the David 1 rving matter."
Lawyer Morris Sorojiow, chairman of the region's war crimes committee, said the CJC 1 s Sti 11 pondering whether to file a complaint about Christie with the Law Society of B.C in connection with the Victoria lawyer's relationship with Irving.
Christie is the general counseJ of the Canadian Free Speech League, which sponsored the Victoria dinner where Irving was arrested after making a speech. •■'
At the Vancouver immi-g r a tion h e a ring, I rv in g admitted entering Canada on Oct. 26 without disclosing that he had been barred from coming into the coun^ try. He also acknowledged that his cross-Canada tour included scheduled speeches in Vancouver, Salmon Arm and Kelowna.
Irving told reporters-that "pressure groups are denying me freedom of speech. What is happeninjg is demeaning to me, but mote demeaning to Canada."
The British author attracted a varied group of suppprters at the Vancouver hearing, including Victoria lawyer Gary Botting, a defence witness at Tpronlo publisher Ernst Zundel's 1988 trial on hatemongering charges. Also in attendance was a skinhead with a swastika tattooed on his neck.
H olding a camera outside the hearing rooni, one young woman said she dropped by "just because Tm interested" before admitting to being the daughter of Delta resident Heinz Koppie, the organizer of Irv-ing's planned Vancouver appearances A man calling himself Erwin Schubert told reporters that" I have a right to listen to this man and decide if he's full of— or not."

But an Immigration Canada guard in the lobby wondered why Irving couldn't be deported immediately and told The BUlletm that "you media are giving him all this attention ^that's what he wants." He said he had been with the Canadian army at the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Meanwhile, the editor-in-chief of The Campus Times, an unofficial newsjjaper circulated among UBC students, planned to apologize in this week's edition after accepting an Oct. 27 advertisement for Irving-s-Would-be lecture in Vancoiiver. The notice drew several angry phone calls and letters.
"We were not aware of who pavid Irving was. [The ad Was printed] niore out of ignorance than malice," AarOn Drake said. He recalled that it was placed by a young man in combat fatigues, arniy boots and a **Charlie Chaplin" mustache. -■
Drake said he has also offered Hillel House a free ad in the paper as a sign of goodwill.
