An amendment to the mo tion stated that Student Coun cil recommends that the stu dent body abide by the pres ent University and state laws until such a solution is reached. Jeff Pokorny introduced the motion after Mike Barton yielded the floor to him. He said, "This motion stems back to the fall when dancing and drinking became an issue. Since the Oklahoma game the issue has blown over and will die until spring. We need to work on a solution now." Tom Kort, chairman of pub lic issues, said "The students can be assured that the pub lic issues committee is ap proaching this in an unbiased manner and will look into all phases." A public opinion poll will be distributed after Christmas vacation, according to Mike Barton, student opinion chair man. "We would like to get it out sooner, but with the complications presented by the approaching holidays, I feel that we can get a truer picture after vacation," said Barton. The student opinion com mittee will meet Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the Student Coun cil office. The public issues committee wiU meet Monday at 2:30 p.m. in the same place. Dennis Christie, president, pointed out that committee meetings are always open and anyone may attend. Opposition to the motion consisted partly of the evident lack of student interest. Few students were present to pre sent their views. Dick Weill pointed out that those that were present were split about Financial Assistance In future For University From Federal Hid? POKORNY ...

We place women in all kinds of occupations, ex-: cept teaching, which is han-i died by the teacher placement division of Teachers College." said Frank Hallgren, director of placement, University Placement Service. i "There is an increasing num ber of corporations as well as agencies of both the federal and local government which are eager to employ women in a large variety of careers" said Mr. Hallgren. "About the only occupational areas that are now not open to women are those jobs that entail un usual hardship or circum stances." be said.

"The primary responsibility of the University Placement Service is in career planning. We are eager to assist both senior men and women in p o s t -graduate planning." he said. Some of the services that the Placement Office perform are: the arrangment of iEter views with interested compan ies, making available informa tion on companies that do not conduct interviews on the campus, and assist seniors in selecting a program of grad uate study. By Frank Partsch Senior Staff Writer Dr. Joseph Soshnik, Univer sity comptroller, said Wednes day that the University will investigate the possibility of receiving federal construction and expansion aid through the $1.2 billion dollar aid-to-education bill passed by Congress and sent to the desk of Presi dent Johnson Tuesday. "It is our hope!," said Dr. Soshnik, "that, through this legislation, the University's limited resources for develop ing our physical facilities will be supplemented to a signifi cant degree." Preference will be given to colleges requiring the aid to expand their enrollment. Dr. Soshnik said that primary con sideration at the University will be given to areas which can not meet the increasing number of students without ex panding the physical plant. The bill was approved in the Senate Tuesday by a 54-27 roll call vote and makes the aid available to 2100 of the na tion's colleges and universities for construction of class rooms, libraries and labora tories to meet the anticipated vast increase in college en rollment in the next decade. Authorized by the bill are: $180 million in grants for four-year colleges, private junior colleges and technical institotei to be used for wild ings used for the instruction or research in natural or phy cal s c i e n c e s, engineering, mathematics and modern for eign languages, and for li braries. $120 million in loans for con struction of all types of class rooms at four year colleges, private junior colleges, and technical institutes, specifying that one fourth of the cost of a project would come from non federal sources. Loans could run up to 50 years and would carry an interest rate of about 3 percent. $50 million in grants to pub lic community junior colleges for the same types of buildings as in the grants to four year schools. The federal- share would be limited to 40 per cent. $25 million for the first year and $60 in each of the next two years for grants for grad uate schools and graduate cen ters. The federal share would be limited to one third. Congressional leaders expect the bill to be followed shortly ate conferees. This bill would provide $1.56 billion for voca tional education and college student loans and extends the impacted areas program, which aids school districts overcrowded with the children of government workers. The ever-increasing num bers" of college entrants, caused by the much discussed post war baby boom, are ex pected to reach 7 million by 1970 as opposed to 3.6 million in 1960. To handle 7 million students, all present colleges would have to double their ca pacity and 1,000 additional in stitutiohs capable of handling bv another significant aid-to-1 2,500 students must be pro education bill, w h i c h was vided, says Sen. Wayne Morse, agreed on by House and Sen-D-Ore., who sponsored the bill Coeds Offered Prizes In Magazine Contest Five-hundred dollar c a s h, i that have appeared in under prizes are being offered to four women students by MADEMOISELLE'S Art Con test and College Fiction Con test The two College Fiction Contest winner, besides re ceiving the cash prize will have their stories published in MADEMOISELLE.

Mike Barton replied by pointing out that there are at least 84 men in his house who are definitely interested but don't speak out because it's like trying to fight City Hall. We have an obligation to find out student opinion gauge possible solutions and present our ideas, said Barton. Discussion of a petition that circulated calling for a change of state laws to provide for 3.2 beer was brought up by Mary Morrow, Union repre sentative. Jim Morre clari fied the petition by saying that such a petition did circu late for a time but that those behind it felt that to present such a plan to Student Council before a study had been made would be the wrong approach "There were over 600 signa tures before we stopped cir culating it," said Moore. Murray Shaeffer, said, "I don't think there was an issue until it was raised in the Daily Nebraskan by Mr. Moore. If there is an issue, the students should write to their legisla tors individually." "If there is a problem and Student Council recognizes it, enforcement may become more rigid and we will be hurting ourselves," said Susie Segrist, Arts and Sciences rep resentative. "I see no hppe for changing the state laws." Tom Brewster, Arts and Sciences representative, said, "I think finding out student opinion is fine, but I can't see forming a biased committee to do so. We have a student opinion poll set up within the Council," he continued. "I think we can best find out how opinion runs through it." The original motion called for the creation of a special commit tee which could have been composed of non-Council members to study the situa tion. It was later amended to give the responsibility of the study to the Student Opionion and public issues committees. Those voting against the resolution were Dick WeilL Susie Pierce, Jean Probasco and JoAnn Stratemann. The Council also passed a resolution calling for support of the University Sing at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Union and urging the entire student body to attend the event. There will be an Associates meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m. Associates are to give an evaluation of the committees on which they are serving and evaluation of the committees to state any desires to change cording to G 1 e n n Koriff, associates chairman. Festival In Second Day HoiraykEcalh) AAoirks Free djOBlTD By Becky McSpadden Reporter . Every December, Jewish people observe the festival of Hanukkah which commemorates the Erst great victory for religious freedom won by the Jews 2,000 years ago. In those days the Jews were dominated by the rule of Antiochus IV, a Syrian-Greek emperor who demanded that everyone follow his ways of worship. He seized the Jewish temple in Jeruselam, filled it with idols, and or dered the Jews to abandon their faith on pain of death. The Jewish people refused to give op their faith in ne God. Jndaa Maccabee of Palestine led a revolt which lasted three ears. One of their maneuvers was so in genions that George Washington nsed it in fighting the British, after be red of it in the Book of 'iaccabecs. Despite the overwhelming size of the enemy force, the Jews defeated the Syrian-Greeks. The Jews restored their temple and lit an eternal light Judah Maccabee proclaimed an eight-day holiday to celebrate the rededicatkra of the Temple. Thus the festi val received its name, for Hanukkah means "dedication." It Is generally agreed by scholars that if Judaism bad been defeated, the religious foundation on which Chris tianity was later established would have been lost. Today this holiday is celebrated for eight days by the giving of small gifts. A game called "dreydel" is played. The dreydel is a four-sided wooden or metal top with the Hebrew tetters which begin the words "Nes gadol haya sham" (a great miracle happened there) inscribed on the four sides. A kind of potato pancake called "La ties" is served at Hanukkah parties. But the big event of the parties is the candle-lighting ceremony commemorating the ancient lighting of the eternal light Every night the candles are placed in a special candelabrum called the "Menorah. One candle is lit the first night, two the second night and so on until all eight are lit The blessing recited during the casdle-lightliig cere mony reads: ' Blessed art Tbou, O Lord, our God, Ruler of the universe, who Sias sanctified ns by Thy commandments and commanded as to kindle the UghU ef HaEulkah." With the centuries, the Hanukkah candles have taken on a deep meaning for the Jews.Tbey symbolize the light of religious freedom that Judah Maccabee and bis follow ers kept alive.
