JEWS TO OBSERVE
HOLIDAY TUESDAY
Yom Kippur to Be Ushered
in at Shutdown With
KOl Nidre Music

The plaintive music Of Kol Nidre
will usher In Yom Kippur or the
Day Of Atonement at shutdown, on
Tuesday, October 9Th. on this holi-
day, the most solemn occasion in
the Jewish year, devout Jews abstain
from all food and drink and spend
the day In the synagogue in prayer
meditation, and supplication for for
giveness.
From biblical days, when this holi.
day was the occasion for special sac
rifices and prayers In the Temple
Yon Kiuuur has carried with 1t ar
irresistible appeal for all Jews. II
brings to q close the ten days oil
penitence which began last week on
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New
Year, and Its CONCLUSION marks Gods
forgiveness for past sins and Hii
blessing for the coming year.
The Day Of Atonement is dis
tinguished from most other holidays
In that 1t Is associated with no his
torical event. The day is purely an
attempt at self-reseneration and at
onement with God. Although It's
roofs reach far back into primitive
times and may have some relation to
an ancient eQuinoctial festival, the
day received its present character Ii,
the Bible period.
Before the beginning Of the Com
mon Era, when the Temple In Jeru-
salem still stood, the high purposes
of the day were expressed In rites o!
animal sacrifice, the common form
Of worship In the ancient world
Since the year 10, however, the CEN
tral theme Of ritual has been Penti'
tence, Prayer and Righteous Action.
The melody Of the Kol Nidre Is
heard at the evening service. This
ancient and plaintive melody, to.
gether with the prayer Of repentance
the sound Of Shofar or rams horn
the "a hour fast and the promise Of
divine forgiveness, all aid men In his
quest for oneness with God and hi:
struggle to lead the good life.

Denmark Marks $50
Years Of Farm Relief

THE farmers Of tiny Denmark
- had their Lexington and Con-
cord exactly $50 years ago, and
when the smoke had cleared they
found a new liberation that COM
pletely reformed the life of the
country.
Up to the latter part Of the 18th
century, the peasants Of Denmark
were nearly all "leasehold" ten.
ants. But leasehold then implied
that the peasants not only paid
rent to the landlord but were
obliged to work for him as much
and as often as demanded. The
peasant was virtually serf.
Moreover, the government IN
1888 had enacted law forbid.
ding all men of the peasant class
to leave the estate TO which they
belonged, thus stopping emigra-
ton. But the very severity Of the
system was TO bring reforms. A
vast movement got under way to
abolish these conditions, and in
1888, finally, an edict was issued
by the government ending viii
1enage.
Landlords and peasants alike
profted by the reform. A his
torian wrote: Before the ref
orInation in farming, landlords,
as well as peasants, were living
in poverty, but now riches sprang
from the soil" It was a re-
form, therefore, that was to be-
gin an era of unsurpassed
agricultural progress for Denmark.
The country marks this $50 years

With the naturalization of a
greater number of Negro students
than ever before, the Negro Stu
dent Council of the University of
Minnesota is endeavoring, with its
extensive program of guidance, to
make these new students feel at

These counselors will be on duty
during 9th hour in the upper lobby
of the Minnesota Union and in
Shevlin Hall throughout the first
week of the Fall Quarter. Any
student having difficulty with his
program is advised to consult a
counselor.
Other information pertaining to
available transportation facilities,
purchase of books at nominal
prices, scholarships and student
loans should be of particular in
terest to these new students.

Howdy folks:
This brisk fall weather has its
effects on people, have you noticed? ?
Spring and summer are both
known for their romantic influences
but fall does something to peoples
ambition. No matter what one is
spending the majority of his time
doing, be it a job, school, house
keeping, ETC., it just seems as if
this weather sort of spurs you on
to do the best you can in your GER
tain line. lin fact, one girl l know
says she has so much ambition that
the mere thought of what she
wants to accomplish this fall leaves
her breathless-so she's going to
the other extreme and plans to dc
