A reader questions President Nixon’s selection for a foreign affairs advisor and suggests alternative Hyde Park academics. The letter cites Shulz Davidson and Arthur Young, and references Einstein as a model for academic decision making. Name withheld by request.
The piece explains that city dog waste and garbage attract bluebottle and houseflies which carry illnesses like Salmonella and Shigella. It cites estimates of up to 588 flies per dog dropping and millions of tons of excrement annually in large cities, urging improved cleanliness to protect picnics.
Robert Rich, 15, a long time Sinai member from the Near North Side, expresses loyalty to the Sinai congregation in Hyde Park. He praises the campus and convenes for the merger debate, urging unity and repair of divisions while noting his roles as a high school graduate this year and a children's library aide.
Hyde Park residents and neighbors in Woodlawn and South Shore worry about stray dogs. A July incident saw a child bitten by an uncaught stray dog identified but not captured. Rabies fears persist despite no Chicago case since 1954. The Animal Care Unit is underfunded and understaffed with 22 dog catchers and only five days of eight hour shifts for outside patrols.
Alderman Despres highlights failing dog control in Chicago. He cites limited catch wagons, a growing 10 percent yearly dog population, and at least 300,000 dogs in the city. Licensing is lax and fines are rare as officials note the issue is surmountable only with stronger budget support. He vows to help the 1974 budget address the crisis.
Roberta M. Bear and other Sinai members oppose a planned Sinai Sholom merger citing risk to the Sinai religious school curriculum and south side participation. They warn of attrition if the school moves to Sholom in 1974 and argue for maintaining small classes and local programs.
A reader from Hyde Park comments on a cartoon showing a Shepherd and flock in a dispute framed as a Jewish American versus Armenian civil conflict. The writer hopes the South prevails, then riffing on potential secular buyers Muhammed or Jesse Jackson buying temples.
