Enjoying Winter in the Campus


Winter in the University of Ariel. It has grown in twenty years to 16 thousand students. The Dept. of Engineering is now a Faculty. Grosso modo, ten percent of the visible students are female Muslims - well kept and modernly dressed, with the hair covered. Another ten percent are religious married Jewish women, with their fantastic turbans. I cannot classify the males, they all look alike as Balkan highway robbers, dressed in black. Here and there one can distinguish blond hair and pallid faces - Slav immigrants. The student body (and the population in general) has been moving towards a non-specific South Syrian type. IQ=92? That is not what the virgin bride dreamt of (An idiom that makes much sense but only in Hungarian).   זה מה שיש ועם זה אתה חייב לנצח (Hebrew Army Slang: That is what you have and with that you have to conquer).
