Mrs. Hamme ex- A I Giving of presents has become a major part of the holiday with the younger set deriving a great deal of pleasure from their ability to receive presents on each of eight nights of the festival. In recent years, synagogues have attempted to bring the family ele- ment into the observances by stimulating both children and parents to celebrate the holiday' together. Decorating for Chanu- kah has become common in many Jewish homes along with family- type celebrations, especially where there are younger children. On the campus, through the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations which are found at most major colleges and universities, the holi- day is celebrated in varied man- ners depending upon the number of students and the religious in- terest of the participants. Conduct Celebrations Through the auspices of the I University's Hillel Foundation. at- tempts are made to conduct Cha- nukah celebrations in all of the campus living units.

We are hav- ing it before the holidays to enable them to purchase the prints for Christmas gifts." A similar print sale held a year ago last spring aroused a great deal of student interest, she said, and influenced Museum officials to hold such a sale before Christmas this year. Mrs. Hamme explained that the prints in the show are not the kind of prints one speaks of when referring to a "print of an oil painting." The latter is a repro- duction of an art work that was once done in another medium, while true print making includes the processes that the artist em- ploys in duplicating his drawings. "The woodcut, one of the dupli- cating processes," she explained, "is the oldest of the graphic arts. It was practiced in the eighth century in China to illustrate Buddhist principles. The first European woodcuts were for tex- tile design." "The process involves drawing a picture on wood," Mrs. Hamme 514 East Washington Phone NO 3-4156 4 :. aJ free ti from RCA Victor and the Disc Shof ,1 CAHpitpwz4 #eco'p4 contains carols by Harry Belafonte, Perry Como and others Yours for the asking at 4 sntimuc i gainingc'consider a'during the eight day period. continued, "those parts which are headwayIn the womes dormitorieS, not to print black being cut away When the High Priest died, groups of interested students with a sharp tool.
