The FCC is expected, to declare pleas for reconsideration of the Nov. 15 action “moot” next week, he Learn lo dance!

(Have you ever wondered, incidentally, about the origin of this interesting phrase "Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson”? Well sir, the original saying was French—" Pius trite que de dire Jacques Robespierre.” Jack Robinson is, as every one knows, an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was, as everyone knows, the famous figure from the French Revolu tion who, as everyone knbws, got murdered in his bath by Danton, Murat, Caligula, and A 1 Capone. (The reason people started saying “Quicker than you can say Jacques Robespierre”—or Jack Robinson, as he is called in English-speaking countries like England, the U.S., and Cleve land—is quite an interesting little story. It seems that Robes pierre’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 O ° t'/-v <)'rP ‘Z) t«s»gr si ik ht to do micMUiMK to his immortal “Warsaw Concerto.” Chopin said he needed Georges Sand’s help desperately because he could not find a rhyme for “Warsaw.” Naturally, Georges could not refuse such an urgent request. (Well sir, off to Majorca went Georges, but before she left, she told her little daughter Walter (hat some bad men were coming to murder Daddy in his bath. She instructed Walter to shout Robespierre’s name the moment the bad men arrived. But Walter, alas, had been sea-bathing that morning on the Riviera, and she had come home with a big bag of salt water taffy, and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre, Walter, alas, was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning. Robespierre, alas, was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre —or Jack Robinson, as he is called in English-speaking countries. (There is, I am pleased to report, one small note of cheer In this grisly tale. When Georges Sand got to Majorca, she did succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for “Warsaw" as every one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics: hi the fair town of Warsaw, Which Napoleon’s horse saw, Singing cockles and mussels, alive alive o!) But I digress. We were speaking of Christmas gifts. What we all try to find at Christmas is, of course, unusual and distinctive gifts for our friends. May I suggest then a carton of Marlboro Cigarettes? What? You are astonished? You had not thought of Marlboros as unusual? You had regarded them as familiar, reliable smokes whose excellence varied not one jot nor tittle from year to year? True. All true. But all the same, Marlboros are unusual be cause every time you try one, it’s like the first time. The flavor never palls, the filter never gets hackneyed, the soft pack is ever a new delight, and so is the Flip Top box. Each Marlboro is a fresh and pristine pleasure, and if you want all your friends to clap their hands and cry, “Yes, Virginia', there is a Santa Claus!” you will see that their stockings are filled with Marl boros on Christmas morn. . © ibs3 msi shuimia The holiday season or any other season Is the season to be jolly—if Marlboro is your brand. You’ll find Marlboros wher ever cigarettes are sold in all fifty states of the Union. J ou get a lot to like in Marlboro Country. (Author of "Rally Round the Flag.

Processing of applications normally takes from 30 to 90 days, he added, since a 30-day waiting period is required by federal regulations. If the FCC does, in fact, de clare the reconsideration pleas “moot” next week, action on the University’s request could be expected in the first three months of 1964. '■ No Time Lost University officials have said they will move swiftly when and if the application is approved. No time will be lost, they stressed, in establishing the educational television sta tion.

Within the last decade, there has been increased interest in the incorporation of jazz into worship services. The strength of this particular liturgy is its faithfulness to jazz as a music form, which has brought mixed reactions from individual wor shippers. Based on Theory The trio bases its interpre tation on the theory that jazz as a musical form can express the heights and depths of hu man experience—man’s doubts and anxieties as well as his affirmation and joy. Therefore, it has a legitimate position in man’s religious pur suits and expression of wor ship. An idiom which conveys so much meaning to persons in secular areas of life can also convey the deepest and most profound spiritual emotions, the trio feels. Thomas Brunkow, religious affairs staff member in Pol lock area, will be the liturgist for the service. He explained that the UCA is sponsoring the service in order to give participants an opportunity to make their own decisions about the place of jazz in worship. at 9:30 A.M., Sal., Nov. 30 “Feast of St. Andrew” Result: Allegro, an experiment in advanced automotive ideas that are practical for the near future MOTOR COMPANY Tha American Road, Dearborn, Michioan WHSRB ENGINBBRIHO LEADERSHIP BRINGS YOU BETTER«BUIL>T CARS Soon ETV iRSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA Athletic Dept.

At University Inter-Faith Dating Common (This is the fifth in a series of articles dealing with reli gions trends among students at the University.) Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish olergymen affiliated with the University feel that a relatively high percentage of inter-faith dating occurs on this campus. Rabbi Norman Goldberg, head of the Hillel Foundation, said he believes that a large amount of inter-faith dating occurs between Jewish and Christian students. “The tendency for Jews to interdate may be part of a re bellion among people of this age group,” he added. Influence Lag Another reason for the fre quency of inter-faith dating by Jews, the Rabbi said, may be due to the lack of direct paren tal influence. There is probably less inter dating when the students are at home and are directly under parental guidance, he contin ued. “Inter-faith dating goes on a good deal up here,” Rev. Egbert Donovan, Newman Club chap lain said. However, he said most of the dating between Roman Catho lic students and students of I other faiths is not of a very ser ious nature. But he admitted that some dating of this typei could lead to marriage. | Rev. P. Barrett Rudd, direc tor of the Westminster Founda tion, said he could only guess that a high percentage of inter faith dating occurs here. “The situation here on cam pus would not be greatly dif- Some Sunshine - Expected Today Unseasonably mild weather is expected to complement partly sunny skies today.
