An Arab student at the Hebrew University has been barred from the dormitory for one year and may be expelled for an alleged affront to the memory of Holocaust victims. A maintenance worker at the Mr. Scopus campus reported that Sulieman Hashem, a freshman, blew out a memorial candle on Yom Hashoah last Sunday. Hashem did not deny the accusation. He said he thought the candle was lit because of a power failure and blew it out when the power was restored. But the dormitory disciplinary committee ordered him to move out. The student faces a university disciplinary court which may expel him and possible legal action initiated by the police.
