By JUDITH GREENBERG
Chanukah, the Festival of
Lights, is being celebrated this
week all over the world in Jewish
homes and temples in commem-
oration of the, expulsion of the
Syrians from the Temple of Jeru-
salem.
The holiday stems from the
heroic battles under the leadership
of Judas Maccabeus, 'when the,
Jews drove the Hellenized Syrians
out of Jerusalem in the year 162
B.C.

Israel restored the Temple of
Jerusalem where, the Syrians had
set up a pagan altar and offered
sacrifices to the Greek idol Zeus
Olympus.
Altar Dedicated
The altar was once again sancti-
fied and dedicated, lamps were
kindled as a symbol of light over
darkness and spiritual freedom
over typranny, and a festival of
eight days was ordained.
There is an ancient legend that
all the oil in the Temple was pol-
luted by the Syrian worshibpers
and that only one cruse of pure oil
was found.
This oil, used -to light the lamps,
lasted by a miracle, for eight days
and so the holiday was celebrated
for eight days in memory of this
miracle.
Lit at Sundown
The candles are lit each evening
at sundown in the synagogues and
homes. One candle is lit on the
first night and the number is in-
creased by one each succeeding
evening until on the eighth night
there are eight lights. '
Originally the Menorahs, or
Chanukah lamps, were lit out of
doors as a symbol of light over
darkness.
It has now become the custom
to place the Menorahs in the win-
dows.
On this holiday the children
play the traditional game of Drei-
dle with a revolving top and re-
ceive presents from parents and
relatives called "Chanukah Gelt."
Latkes, a potato pancake, is a
treat enjoyed by the whole fam-
ily. The traditional hymn "Rock
of Ages" and other popular Cha-
nukah songs are sung on this oc-
casion.

The engagement of Susan Wes-

By VIRGINIA ROBERTSON
Among the many students keep-
ing their fingers crossed and pop-
ing for a white Christmas are the
ski enthusiasts, who have been
busily hunting up skis and equip-
ment for the coming season.
Ever since the 1953 Winter
Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y., the
nation is becoming more ski con-
scious.
Inhis 30th year of watching
Americana ski, Pat Hardy of the
Boston Globe noted "I've never
looked up slopes in this country
and seen so many. good skiers as
I have this year."
Proper Outfitter
Prospective skiers should con-
sult a proper outfitter for the
necessary skis, binders, gloves,
poles and wax, a ski expert sug-
gested.
In planning what to take when
going to a ski resort, the first thing
on a skier's list should be a heavy
sports coat of camel's hair or
tweed, a sturdy greatcoat, some-
one's raccoon relic or just any
warm covering.
Important incidentals not to be
forgotten are boots or galoshes.
Knitted Shoes
Soft moccasins or Norwegian
knitted shoes will come in handy
when the skier is relaxing. Long
underwear and flannel pajames
will help prevent chills and colds.
A reminder to the skier who
travels by plane or train to his
destination, is to strap the skis,
tag and binders firmly togeth-
er. Otherwise he may arrive with
somebody else's skis, or his own
minus the binders.
Skiing is not only down hill rac-
ing and jumping. Beginners need
not be afraid of learning or of
possible accidents.
Adaptable Sport
Enthusiasts say that skiing is
actually one of the most adaptable
of all sports and lends itself to
any age or any terrain. In the
eyes of some, nothing can com-

pare with cross-country skiing
across soft winter landscape.
In Michigan, over 250,000 skiers
annually visit, the 34 ski develop-
ments. These range from Iron
Mountain, site of the world's tall-
est artificial jumping4 scaffold, to
the for-members-only Otsego Ski
Club. Here a member may have
his sleigh-borne copy of the morn-
ing paper delivered to his room
with his pre-breakfast coffee.
Sites in Michigan
Other popular areas in Michi-
gan are Boyne Mountain, Caberfae
at Cadillac, Elberta Mountain,
Echo Valley, the Missaukee Moun-
tains, Sugar Loaf Mountain in
the Leelaijau Peninsula, Newaygo
County, MountiMancelona, Udel
Hills near Manistee, Briar Hill,
Petoskey, and hills near Traverse
City.
Popular ski developments in
New England are located through-
out the northern region.
In New Hampshire, Jackson, Mt.
Sunapee, North Conway and Fran-
conia are among the well known
ski areas. Mt. Mansfield, with the
longest and highest chair lift in
the east, is located near Stowe,
Vt.

Valley, Idaho; Mt. Hood, Ore. and

California.
Few countries have such a mag-
nificent variety of mountains as
America. Some skiers regard them
as "pure paradise."
The University ski club plans
trips for weekends and vacations.
The club arranges all accommoda-
tions to different ski resorts.

free instruction from club mem-
bers in the Arboretum when wea-
ther permits.

School of Music
Offers Instruction
In Various Fields
Upon reaching Maynard St.
from the Arcade, curious students
may hear varied strains of music
in the air.
The School of Music building,
which is a few doors from the
Arcade, is inhabited daily by
choral and piano students, while
those studying an instrument fre-
quent Harris Hall, which is located
on State St. near Ann Arbor High
School.
Students interested in musical
activities or careers, can study to
be band or chorus directors, vocal-
ists, instrumentalists or teachers
of theory or harmony classes.
A special advantage which music
students have, are the small
classes, usually fewer than ten
people. This gives them an oppor-
tunity to get to know each other
well.
The day of a music student is
greatly taken up by classes. As a
freshman, he takes about eight
courses, one of which is the usual
requirement of freshman English
composition.
