Bibi To Lecture At YU by Alex Traiman In a continued effort to secure contemporary speakers at Yeshiva, the University has slated former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to present multiple lectures, speaking at both the undergraduate campuses as well as the in Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

Netanyahu will make his first YU appearance at Cardozo's Moot Court Room on October 7 at 4:30PM, where the former Prime Minister will address "The Past Century into the New Millenium." During the lecture, Netanyahu will focus on the implications of current international relations, in particular, his hopes and concerns for the State of Israel as it enters the new millenium. He will then be honored as a guest at the annual Cardozo board meeting and dinner.

Chairman Earle Mack, of the Cardozo School of Law Board of Directors asserted, "It is with great honor that the students, faculty, board of directors, and staff of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law will receive former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Throughout his administration, Prime Minister Netanyahu was a stalwart advocate of achieving peace with security and respect for Israel. His visit celebrates Cardozo Law School's heritage as a leading institution of legal discourse in the United States."

On November 17, Netanyahu is purported to venture to Yeshiva's undergraduate campuses to present the first in a series of guest lectures at the Stern College for Women during the Wednesday club hour of 2:35PM - 3:25PM. The downtown lecture will be given to only a select group of students under the auspices of the honors program. A topic for the session will remain unannounced and will be left completely in the hands of the former Head of State.

Stern College for Women Dean Karen Bacon, pleased by the announcement, proclaimed, "In the past, Yeshiva has played host to many prominent Israeli officials. By doing so, Yeshiva spans the distance between American Jewry and the official state of our people creating a tremendous bond which cannot be severed. It is a recognition of the importance and affection of the relationship which will hopefully continue to rapidly grow stronger."

Following his appearance at Stern on the 17th, Netanyahu will be speak twice at the Yeshiva College undergraduate campus on the preceding day. During the Thursday club hour, a smaller discussion will be offered to honors students. Later in the evening at 8:00PM, Netanyahu will speak at Weissberg Commons to a larger group of students. Sources speculate that this lecture on a formalized topic dealing directly with the current status of the peace process, will be open to all Yeshiva undergraduate students and faculty members.

Dr. Norman Adler, Dean of Yeshiva College, had little to add to the news stating, "We consider this a wonderful experience for our students to be granted the opportunity to hear a major Israeli political figure speak."

Unconfirmed reports insinuate that Mr. Netanyahu will continue to give guest lectures over upcoming semesters both here and at Columbia University.
