The Jewish New Year, Rosh Ho-
shanah, begins today at sunset and
ends Friday at sunset. The emphasis
of the two-day holiday is becoming a
new person, and then 'putting that
new vision of one’s self into action,
said Rabbi Peter Tarlow. If Jews re
pent honestly and completely, they
are free of the sins of the past, he
said, because the future is more im
portant.
“A little of this concept has come
into the American world through
the idea of a new year’s resolution,”
said Tarlow, rabbi at the Hillel
Foundation which is on Jersey
Street.
Customary foods of Rosh Hosha-
nah are apples and honey which rep
resent heading for a sweet new year,
Tarlow said. Challah — a round loaf
of bread — is also eaten and rep
resents a circleness in time, and that
another year has been completed.
The color white, representing pu
rity, is another symbol for the holi
days, Tarlow said.

The 10 days between Rosh Ho-
shanah and Yom Kippur are called
the 10 days of Teshubah.
“The idea of Teshubah is the as
sumption that yes, people are hurt,
and that we ought to seek forgive
ness and give forgiveness and realize
that no human being is perfect,”
Tarlow said. “One is required to
make up to one’s fellow human be
ings any possible hurt that might
have taken place.”
Co-op education mixes
experience with school
Teshubah leads into the holiday
of Yom Kippur, the holiest day
within the Jewish year, Tarlow said.
Yom Kippur is most marked by fast
ing.

“Traditionally, one neither eats
nor drinks during the entire period
from sundown Friday to sundown of
the next day,” Tarlow said. “It
makes us show penance. But I think
more than that, it also makes every
one poor. Hopefully, when knowing
what poverty is like, you will gain the
desire to fight against it.”
Completely Confidential
Call Us First - We Care
A tradition performed on Rosh
Hoshanah is the blowing of the Sho-
far — the ram’s horn — symbolizing
one’s awakening to the needs of be
coming a new person, Tarlow said.
The horn announces the coming of
the new year and also ends Yom
Kippur.

Tarlow said that Yom Kippur is
also a day of total prayer. After Yom
Kippur ends, the community comes
together in a break-the-fast meal to
start the new year off right, he said.

A goldmine of experience
through cooperative education
awaits liberal arts students on the
fourth floor of Harrington Tower.
But Annie Ruth Taylor, coordina
tor of the liberal arts cooperative ed
ucation department, said many stu
dents don’t even know she’s there.
“A lot of times students won’t
drop by until their junior year and
by then it’s too late for a placement,
or they show interest and then never
get back in touch with us again,”
Taylor said. “Positions go unfilled
each semester because we don’t have
the students. A law firm in Houston
needed two workers this fall, but we
just didn’t have the applicants.”
Cooperative education (co-op)
coordinates classroom studies with
supervised work experiences in the
private, sector. Students are em
ployed by industry, business and
government organizations for spe
cific periods of time in positions re
lated to their major. Normally stu
dents work two periods, alternating
their co-op position with full-time
academic study.
Taylor said students find the co
op jobs worthwhile.
“It’s a rewarding experience be
cause it gives students a chance to
work in real-life situations in their
career choice,” she said. “And even
if they find out they are in the wrong
field, that’s good too, because it’s
early enough for them to do some
thing about it. Students also fre
quently find the job is exactly right
for them, so they choose that care
er.”
To find a co-op job, Taylor said
the first step is to try to locate a posi
tion as soon as possible.
“1 like to see students come in as
f reshmen, so that we have time to lo
cate a job by their sophomore or ju
nior year,” Taylor said. “If possible,
we try to set up a schedule that won’t
affect graduation, although at times
it may take a student an extra semes
ter.”
Taylor said students in the liberal
arts need the experience a co-op job
provides.
“It’s opened up somewhat, but in
the past it was hard for students to
find a job because they are in liberal
arts,” she said. “We’ve found em
ployers receptive, but because of the
wide range of courses liberal arts
students take, they do look at a stu
dents’ particular area of interest
when deciding whether to hire 01
not.”
When potential co-op students
contact the office, they will be given
an information packet,
jobs are available in their field,it
the job requirementsareandirig
expect at work. They are
bring back a degree plan w!
scheduled graduation dateai
sume to send to possible empl
"As soon as we gel thatinfl
tion, we go to work tryingu
suitable job,” Taylor said. “St
times we have employers,
times we’ll have to look for the
the student can suggest empk
that we will contact.”
The office sends the resume j
sibly an application and am
related materials, such as pm
work samples, to employersand
them to call the student direetl
set up an interview.
“ The employers will trytocoi
the students, but the studentssta
also try to get in touc h withilie!
ployers," I aylor said. “Aftertit

king.”
Taylor said the office places 15 f
students a year in jobs throufl
Texas and the Southwest.
