(This is the final article of a series of surveys conducted over the past two weeks by the Daily
Collegian on student opinion on various phases of the new Association of Women Students pro

The community council has great potential in women's student government, but the
student body is generally unaware of its purpose, aim and function.
That was the consensus of opinion of 100 women selected for questioning in this sur

subordinate bodies of the A
composed of representatives from
residence communities to provide
jurisdiction for each of the five
communities.
Over half of the women in
terviewed had no conception as
to how the councils functioned
while those remaining had
varying degrees of knowledge
of council operations.
About an equal number of stu
dents knew who all their council
representatives were as did not
while 20 per cent were aware of
only several of the members.
Most of the women felt that
community councils had def
initely benefited the University
but others felt that they did not
live up to their potential or that
they were dominated by the
community coordinators who
acted as the Council advisors.
Most were impressed by the ac
tivities sponsored by the Coun
cils such as dances, cultural pro
grams, infra-dorm contests and
baby-sitting agencies.
Most felt that councils could
,improve if they publicized them
selves more widely, communicat
-411 student feeling• to food and
,housing services, or provided
;more cultural activity for resi
!deuce balls.
A major point of puzzlement
with those interviewed was the
relationship of Community Coun
cils with the administration and
what .influen:!e each had on the
other.
Others wanted to know exactly
what the councils play' to do for
the communities in the future.

Sunset. Tonight
Begins Jewish
WinterHolidav
The eight-day Jewish holiday,
Hanukah, begins at sunset today.
Hanukah, known variously as the
Festival of the Maccabees, of Ded
ication and of the Lights, com
memorates the struggle of the
Jews against the Syrian monarch,
Antiochus.
Antiochus sought to impose pa
ganism upon the Jews toward the
close of the first century before
the Common Era. Led by the Mac
cabeans, the Judeans fought the
superior forces of the world's
mightieSt nation for five years,
and were victorious. Their suc
cess insured the survival of Ju
daism and paved the way for
Christianit','.
With victory, the first act of
the triumphant Jews was the
rededication of the temple in
Jerusalem. which had been des
ecrated by the invaders. The
word, "Hanukah," means dedi
cation.
To observe the festival, lights
are lit on a special candelabrum
(menorah) each night for eight
nights, one the first night, two the
second, and so on. Prayers are
given thanking God fcr instilling
the love of freedom into human
hearts.
The Bellefonte-State College
Jewish Community Council will
observe the holiday with a special
program to be held at 6 p.m. Sun
day. The program will begin with
a family "Latke Supper" which
will be followed by Hanukah
Skits and plays, The program will
conclude with the candle light
ing ceremony.

The time has come to make out our Christmas shopping hat.s i
for Christmas will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack
Robinson. (Have you ever wondered, incidentally, about the
origin of this interesting phrase "Quicker than you can say
Jack Robinson"? Well sir, the original phrase was- French--
"Plus rite que de dire Jacques Rolgspierre." Jack Robinson is,
as everyone knows, an anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who
was, as everyone knows, the famous figure from the French
Revolution who, as everyone knows, got murdered in his bath
by Danton, Murat, Caligula, and Aaron Burr.
(The reason people started saying "Quicker than you can say
Jacques Robespierre (or Jack Robinson as he is called in English
speakingeountries)" is quite an interesting little story. It seems
that Robespierre's wife, Georges Sand, got word of the plot to
murder her husband in his bath. All she had to do to save his
life was call his name and warn him. But, alas, quicker than
she could say Jacques Robespierre, she received a telegram from
her old friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting
lyrics. to his immortal "%irsaw Concerto." Chopin said ho
needed Georges Sand's help desperately because he could not
find a rhyme for,"Narsaw." Naturally, Gkirges Sand could not
refuse such an urgent request.
(Well sir, Georges Sand went traipsing otT to Majorca, but
before she left she told her little daughter Walter that some bad
men were coining to murder daddy in hit bath, and she in
structed Walter to shout Robespierre's name when the bad Men
arrived But Walter, alas, had been sea-bathing that morning
on the Riviera, and she had conic home loaded with sea shells
and salt water taffy, and when the bad men came to murder
Robespierre, Walter, alas, was chewing a big wad of salt water
taffy and could not get her mouth open in time to shout a
warning. Robespierre, alas, was murdered quicker than you
could shout Jacques Robespierre (or Jack Robinson as he is
called in the English-speaking countries).
(There is, I am pleased to report., one small note of cheer in
this grisly tale. When Georges Saud got to Majorca where
Chopin was setting lyrics to his immortal "Warsaw Concerto,"
she was happily able to help him find a rhyme for "Warsaw,'!
as everyone knows who has heard those haunting lyrics

But I digress.
We were speaking of Christmas gifts. What w•e all strive tv do
at Christmas is, of course, to find unusual, offbeat, different
gifts for our friends. May I suggest then a carton of Marlboro
Cigarettes?
What? You are astonished? You bad not thought of Marlboroe
as unusual, offbeat, different? You had regarded them as ftuniliar,
reliable Fmokes whose excellence varied not one jot or tittle
from year to year?
True. All true. But at the same time, Marlboros are unusual,
offbeat, different, because every time you try one, it's like the
first time. The flavor never palls, never gets hackneyed. Each
Marlboro is a fresh delight, a pristine pleasure, and if you want
all your friends to clap their hands and exclaim, "Ye, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus!" you will put them at the very top of
your Christmas list. o woo Mum atialcsaa
And for further Yuletide Joy, give Marlboro's nonfiltered
companion cigarette, mild, flavorful Philip Morris—in regu
lar size or the sensational new king-size Commander. You'll
be welcome aboard!
