Honors Colleges To Be Endowedby Mordechai FishmanIn a development that could potentially alter the academic face of Yeshiva University and realize the aspirations of various administrators, funding has been secured for honors programs at Yeshiva College and Stern College for Women. The Commentator has learned that S. Daniel Abraham of the Slim-Fast Corporati on and namesake of the Yeshiva University Joint Israel Program, has agreed to donate ten million dollars to create an honors college at Stern while the Schottenstein family of Columbus, Ohio has agreed in principle to sponsor the same program for Yeshiva College. AECOM is Wired for Direct Internet Accessby Chanan HoschanderMarking the culmination of a summer of preparation, students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine arrived at their apartments to find direct hardwired connections to the Internet. The access now afforded to all medical students who reside in East chester Housing at the Bronx Campus of AECOM represents a concerted Yeshiva University effort to catch up with other major academic institutions that have offered similar service in recent years. Who's Watching You?by Yehuda BurnsOver this past summer, the University's security department began installing a series of video cameras on the
uptown campus. The cameras were placed both in clear view and in hidden locations throughout the campus. The
new cameras promise to provide students with added security, but their presence on campus underscores the role
security plays in daily life at YU.
