Walter Reuther, head of the Industrial Department of the AFL-CIO, and Matthew Woll, first vice-president of the AFL-CIO have agreed to serve as National Labor Sponsors of the Hebrew University, it was announced here today by Daniel G. Ross president of the American Friends of the University.

The University is currently conducting a campaign to raise $30 million, which is required to rebuild and re-equip the institution on its new campus at Givat Ram, in Jerusalem. This will replace the classrooms, laboratories and equipment on Mt. Scopus, original home of the University, to which it has been denied access for the past eight years by Jordan troops.
