"Cocky" L - T V NT P FOR Ci Ho! Ho! Ho! A Cynica By ORIN ANDERSON I don't know whether you've thought about it or not-really thought about it. Christmas, I mean. I know you've read somewhere in some newspaper or magazine that "now is the time for all good men to think about Christmas"-"the joy of giving"-and all that jazz. And you probably sat down and thought, "Yeh, they ought to put Christ back in Christmas and quit being so commercial." Then like all of us, you dropped down to Asmer's MAMMY'5 Famous Srr Served 3020 Two I 'ir' Winsto U. 1. 3eynolds Tob.oe By Rosemary Hankins ) 7 Outlook Wine Celler to get a little Nog to go along with the Egg in the old Wassail Bowl, and end up on the old tiger-skin rug warming ourselves in front of the old Yule Log and think ing about old Number One and shoving the manger back under the aluminum tree and the non-flam mable tinsel. Now you are saying to yourself, "Here comes the pitch!" So I think "I'll fool you!" and not give a short sighted lecture on what I think Christmas should be.

To promote the Christmas spirit on campus as well as to test the originality of the girls in the dorm, Maxey held a Christmas drop-in and a room decoration contest last Tuesday. Guests at the drop-in saw the turquoise walls, coral sofa, and gold Irapes of the lobby beautifully com plimented by a cluster of red bells anging from the center of the -eiling, and by the silver Christmas tree decorated with gold and green balls. A few sprigs of mistletoe were strategically placed so they would add to the decor as well as serve their customary purpose. Christmas decorating did not stop in the lobby. Roommates burned the midnight oil skimming through magazines, hoping to come up with Driginal ideas for their rooms. One Maxcy door was a wrapped Christmas package with a card say ing, "Merry Christmas to all from Margean and Patsy." Red bells and bows interspersed with white poin The Gift By ROSEMARY IIANKINS Assi%tant Feature Editor Have you ever thought seriously which gift, out of all those you have ever received for Christmas, you valued most? Here are the cherished gifts of some of the most beloved professors on campus-not that the other resident scholars are not be loved. They were simply not acces sible to this reporter. Dr. Babcock: "Health and hap piness of the people I love." Professor Yaghjian: "I just am glad to be left alone so I can paint . . . and I'm thankful my family is up to you to decide what Christmas is to you, or what it should be to you. So, get started thinking. After all, there aren't many shopping days left before that jolly little fat man'with the goodies comes tumbling down the chimney to present us with the sparkling choo-choo trains and fur lined shot glasses, the "open-me first" cameras and the toy robot that shoots missiles at all your enemies. All this to celebrate the birth of the savior of mankind.

On second floor one window sports a pine wreath ornamented with gold balls. The door was trans formed into an imitation fireplace from which hung the two stockings of Connie and Jean. Red and silver bells lying on a cloud of angel hair made very attrac tive entrances to a few rooms, while paper snowflakes and candy canes greeted visitors on others. Still an other door depicts the scene of a shepherd beholding the north star, which was made of the pieces of broken gold balls glued to a blue background. In another room the girls decor ated one wall with a snowman. A freshman rat hat replaced the typical black top hat as a chapeau. They also attractively arranged pine boughs and holly leaves on their book shelves and bureaus. After judging all the rooms the officials awarded prizes for the most attractive room on each floor in addition to a championship prize for the best room in the dormitory. Of Giving around me and in good health. What more could I possibly want?" I Dr. Reeves: "The one I appre ciated most was an album of recita tions of the great French poets." Dr. Christophersen: "The best Christmas present I ever got was on Thanksgiving when I married my present wife." Dr. Maloof: "The love of my friends and getting their cards. Especially the boys who served under me in the marine corps. That means more to me than any material thing." Dean Penney: "Life-thought I wouldn't have it one Christmas about three years ago." Coach Bass: "When I came back to coach here." Dr. Coolidge: "I can answer that in two ways-it is the only time I have an opportunity to get together with my family, which is scattered all over the country. Secondly, I hear from a lot of my friends-and I love to get Christmas cards." Yea, verily, students, keep all these things, and ponder them in your hearts. It hath been truly said, the gift without the giver is bare. This Christmas, give time, love, and attention instead of a two-dollar tie. t counts Winston has it! i and specially The Newman Club Caroling By JEAN DERRICK Staff Writer With Christmas almost here, he Christmas Spirit is capturing he hearts of all in reach and those f the Newman Club members are o exception.
