Persons Are Shot In Streets Of Palestine, Says Arieh Rivlin
"It is not unecommon for persons to be shot down without warning or explanation on streets of Palestine's cities today," Arieh Rivlin, Jewish freshman pre-medical student from Palestine, said. "It is not so good there now."
In Palestine, young men graduating from secondary school have only three choices, he said. "They can join the Jewish brigade of the British army, join the Jewish settlement police, or go to the training camp where they spend half their time in work and half in study."
Arieh (pronounced: ah-ree-ah). who left Palestine on Sept. 1 and arrived at the University on Oct. 5, lives in Petah-Tiqua, a small town five miles from Tel-Aviv. ◈
Before he could receive a visa from the American consul, he had to supply a certificate of character from the C.I.D., a British police agency which corresponds, he said, to our F.B.I.
Rivlin, 19, chose to go to the training camp after he was graduated from secondary school two years ago. He investigated possibilities of attending a foreign medical school since there is no medical school in Palestine, although one is planned for 1949.
Rivilin believes that his greatest difficulty will be with the English language. "You Americans talk so fast it is hard for me to understand," he explained. Although he studied English six years in Palestine, he did not study conversation, but spent the entire time on reading and writing.
European medical schools were too full to admit him. By chance, his father, a doctor, received a medical book from America which listed K.U. He wrote and received approval of his application in February.
Rivin's father received most of his medical training at Heidelberg, Germany, but transferred to a school near Leningrad when the first World War broke out. He entered the Russian army in 1915 and served after the revolution until 1918 when he came to Palestine.
Rivlin's visa is good for only one year, but it is automatically extended for another year if he passes his tests. "If I do not pass, I must return to Palestine," he said.
He is not lost in the American way of living. He became accustomed to

"There are many movies there," he said, "but the American movies are the most popular, especially 'Gone With the Wind' and 'Casablanca.'"
American food and ways in Palestine where most of the food is imported and American products are common.
Rivlin lives at Smith hall where, he thinks, living with a large number of men, he can become accustomed rapidly to American speech and customs.
Alexander Compiles Nazi Trial Photos
Charles Alexander, former K.U. student, has recorded pictorially the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuernberg. Germany, in a book entitled "Justice at Nuernberg."
Mr. Alexander, who attended the University at intervals between 1932 and 1938, majored in journalism
He was director of photography for the war department during the trial. The book depicts work done before the trial and pictures the main events of the trial.
Mr. Alexander, who was a sergeant in the army until his recent discharge, has now set up a public relations office in Paris.
Sioux May Have Claim To Twin Cities
Minneapolis. (UP)—Folks in the Twin Cities better think twice before they say in disgust, "Give it back to the Indians." The Sioux may take them up on it.
It seems the Sioux probably have a legitimate claim to the Twin Cities and Fort Snelling.
The Snelling reservation first was sold to the U.S. government through the persuasion of 60 gallons of liquor. Zebulon Pike, the explorer who made the deal, wasn't even empowered as a government agent. And the two Indian chiefs who signed the treaty had no power to speak for the Sioux nation.
Three years after the original purchase in 1808, the federal government paid the Indians an additional $2,000 for the reservation. In 1830 the Indians got another $4,000.
But the writings of Henry H. Sibley, Minnesota's first governor, indicate there still was doubt about legality of the purchase even in 1850.
Indian law gave no Indian chief the power to bind the individuals of the tribe. Each Indian signed his own "X" to an agreement or didn't consider himself bound by it. And there were no witnesses to the Pike treaty.
The Sioux may have a case.
