A major problem faced by newsmen in Israel is obtaining information from uncooperative sources, according to Marcus Eliason, Jerusalem correspondent for the Associated Press and an editor-in-residence this week at the School of Journalism.
there is no such thing as the people's right to know in Israel," he said yesterday. "Many people don't believe they should give out information."
Elason was born in Rhodesia and moved to Israel 15 years ago. Before becoming the first female president of Israel,

reporter for a newspaper that didn't like crime news," he said.
Ellison began working for the AP in May 1967, shortly before the start of the Sik-Day War. He said he had gone to work for the AF with the hope of somehow being involved in
"I THOUGHT I'd quit when the war was over, but for me it never ended," he said.
Ehlason said the problems he faced as a foreign correspondent in Iraq were the same as writer who had transplanted himself. He emphasized the importance of knowing the native language and understanding his culture.
"I speak Hebrew," he said. "It is an advantage because I can get the news from an Israeli."
He said that he and his four assistants in Jerusalem sometimes relied heavily on the army.
Ellison said that because he had lived in Israel for 11 years he sometimes was approached about stories he had written by Israelis who would ask, "How can you say
His reply, he said, was "how can you do these things?"
Campus Police Augment Force With Students
Students have bolstered the Traffic and Security ticket writing forces this semester to compensate for the elimination of six officer positions by budget cuts.
A spokesman for Traffic and Security said 12 students were employed this week.

we just weren't getting the job done. In order to get good coverage we have to increase our force, and with the budget cuts, students are the best way," the spokesman
Traffic and Security began hiring students to write tickets last year after studying the success of similar programs at other universities, including Kansas State University. Before last year, student help was sought only for office work.
In addition to the 34 ticket writers, eight students have been hired to man traffic control.
The spokesman said expansion of the student employment program had been successful so far despite added difficulties in dealing with new parking regulations.
"As you start a new program such as our new regulation system, there are bound to be problems, but on the whole student help has done well," he said.
Federal Grant Applications Available to All Freshmen
Rogers said that every freshman at KU could apply to receive a grant.
A new federal financial aid program for students beginning their college education is now available if application is made soon to the program, according to Jerry Rogers, director of the University of Kansas financial aid office.
The basic educational opportunity grant program provides federal funds to eligible students for their education after high school. The grants consider the amount a student's family can expect to contribute to the student's education.
Grants will not be given to students whose parents are expected to contribute more than half the amount a student anticipates paying for his education.
Only those students who are entering college or vocational or technical school for the first time and on a full-time basis are eligible this year. The grants are based on a federal formula that applies to all students throughout the United States.
The most a student can receive this year from the grants program is $452, Rogers said. These grants are in addition to existing sources of federal, state or other student financial aid for which a student may be eligible or already be receiving.
All freshmen who already have received financial aid must apply separately for the institution.
"Freshmen should fill out an application for determining their family's expected contribution to their school costs," Rogers said. "This should be done as soon as possible."
The form is mailed to American College testing (ACT) which has been hired to evaluate students.
The grants program will include sophomores next year, Rogers said. Eventually the program will assist all college students.
The grants program was passed by Congress as part of its educational amendments of 1972. The Office of Education of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare administers the program. Unlike other grants, the grants are student financial aid, receiving an award doesn't depend on the eligible institution a student decides to attend.
A student will receive from ACT the figures calculated to be his family's contribution. This form should be taken to the financial aid office which will figure the amount a student is eligible to receive from the grants program.
About eight months a go a strange group started appearing around Lawrence. At dorms where people came and sat quietly listening and then exploding at the end of each song; at concerts in and about the Midwest where this very intense group put everyone into a kind of outward laid back but inward churning state of mind and finally at a club. An old club, a club that has seen the best and worst in times and music. Yet everytime this strange and intense group appeared at this old club, beautiful nights of communication started happening. One couple free-form dancing as close to the music as within. People sitting close to the stage and intently studying the characters of each musician and then becoming part of that musician. All realities, all past happenings, all very special.
That was then—this is now and that old club (THE RED DOG) will host that special group (SANCTUARY) for two nights, Friday and Saturday, September 14-15.
To become one—music and people.
There is censure in Israel, he said, but the government allows unfavorable articles on Iran and Russia.
MATTERS CONCERNING military strategy, immigration and oil are censored.
"Basically there is a free press in Israel, short of articles that incite violence," he said.
In interpreting Israeli military news releases, "you have to cut through the nonsense to decide what really happened," he said.
If they report a border incident and don't mention casualties," he said, "you know that if you get caught, you will be sent to jail."
He said, however, that military reports are always accurate. There is a pragmatic reason for this in that the Israeli Army is a people's army and has incredibly high
morale, he said. If the people couldn't have faith in the army's word, morale would be low.
The local press is always a good news source, he said, because it receives preferential treatment from the military. He noted that sometimes two hours would elapse before national news services would receive the same release.
