I am curious as the reaction from alums and parents, a good number of whom are Jewish.<BR/><BR/>Anyways I too noted this in my blog post on this subject.

The National Writers Union (UAW Local 1981) used to have its annual meetings there. I was an elected delegate to the At-Large Local in the two years mentioned above.
