Its purpose it not to cry Down With Commercialization, or to charge up the cam pus with spirit and brotherly life. Although that would be nice.) It's about three hour quizzes, a book re port and a term paper. Rush downtown, buy a present for your roommate, stand in line to get it gift wrapped. make it back here in time for the basketball game. No light snowfalls predicted this week; if it gets any warmer we can all take off for Lake Murray. No money to send Christmas cards this year, not with stamps on them anyway. Doer, anyone need a ride to Charleston leaving after 4 o'clock Tuesday? All we can think about is the number of days until we can get Out of Here. What's with Carolina anyway? Granted Christmas is a time to be near children and chimneys, and there's No Place Like Home for the Holidays, but that doesn't make school a morbid isolated void with spirit of its own. The spirit here is ... -the Christmas tree (well, at least they tried) on the windows of South and the painting on the door of South Tower ... -orphan parties given this week by the fraternities and sororities and the boys in Preston . . . -walking across the Horseshoe at noon while the church chimes play "Joy to the World" . . . -singing, somewhat timidly, Stille Nochte at the German Club Christmas party, and learning how the holiday is celebrated in Europe...

The point is so obvious that by now every one should certainly have stopped reading. Christmas isn't something you need to look for and it isn't something you find.

NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST * 0 0 SAME OLD SONG; To the' Editor: As I walked into the door of Slater Food Service for my eve ning meal, motivated by that great desire for Slater food, I couldn't help looking forward to a delicious, well-prepared dlinner. After getting a clean tray, I had to pick up only four forks before finding a clean one. Oh! By the way, the third one was cle'an, but bent only slightly. TIhe aroma of the food smelled so tasty. Tonight I had a choice of two meats. I chose barbecued spare ribs (spare of meat). The rolls were soft too! As usual I dlidn't have to wait for ketchup or salad dressing. This meal was going to be sw,ell. While eating, I got up only twice --once for the floor to be s w e p t and( once for a "tray buggy" to pass by. My spare ribs had two whole bites of meat oni them. The sliced tom-itoes had wilted only slightly. TIhe mixed vegetables had b e e n reheatedl only twice. I consoled mnysel f with the fact that Slater had to make a profit this year. I decided to> go upstairs and get myself ai hamburger. This would make my even ing meal complete. T[here were only three peop)le ahead( of me at the grill. I got my hamburger in only 25 minutes. Finally, receiving my hambu r ger, finding a bag to p)ut it in, I accidlentally tipped over part of my coke putting a cover on it. I began to apologize immediately for the incident. I was told, "That is perfectly O.K. P'ay for the one you get in it.s place!'' Once more I consohed myself that SIater must make a p)rofit this year. (It has so much comn p)etition on campus.) KEMNETH . INMANM Giravesya ashmen C dormitory. In the men's dormi tories, H and J, there is one hall counselor for every two floors. This results in having one coun selor for some 80 freshmen. Frankly, this seems ridiculous. This one counselor, admittedly, is paid well ($50 monthly) for his job, and from all observances, they do fine jobs. Yet what is their job? They seem to be most concerned with keeping order; and this is a full-time job per haps. Yet the need is m u c h iry Relief )Pend Chri. Fj1H Carolina.

Some lesitate Granted, there is now on cam pus a well - staf fed counseling bureau for the use of all stu dents, and this is good. But stu dents, and particularly freshmen, are going to hesitate before going to see an a d u I t counselor. It would be so much easier if some b a s i c counseling was offered within the dormitory. I am positive that we are los ing freshmen this year because they feel they have no one to go to with their problems. And I am also positive that this prob lent could in some ways be al leviated. I am of the opinion that there should be a drastic change in the number of coun selors for freshmen. I feel that two counselors for each floor, .10 boys, would be much more ade quate. This would allow concern for discipline along with many more opportunities for counsel ing. I)ecrease Salary Perhaps money is a problen here. However, I feel that the salary for such counselors could be decreased and the job made more honorary if it were changed to a real counseling position. Ap plicants for the positions would also, of necessity, have to be Screened with great care. low ever, I am sure that many stu dents on campus would welcome the opportunity of serving their fellow students in this way, not just for their own financial aid. Recently I have come in very close contact with what I would consider a typical freshman hall. There are boys on that hall with tremendous potential.

Exchange Corner 1 The Miami Hurricane offers some suggestions toward finding "just the right Christmas gift" for that hard-to-buy-for spouse, parent or beau. These items were actually discovered in the well e q u i p p e d Miami department stores.

Eighty er cent of the students said they be lieved in Santa Claus. One cynic said no, and one student pleadvd th( fifth amendment. The reasoning of those who be lieved is amazing. Answers as to why they believe ranged from "Because he's a nice man" and a greedy "'Cause I get presents" to "Santa Claus is an abstract idta of good will and Christianity." The most common, perhaps the most expected, answer was "the spirit of Santa Claus." One sto dent said, "you have to h.Lve something to liviieve in." In this same vein, they hal thse "Thoughts of Christmas." "A Christmas tree." "Christ mas carols." "The family." "Snow . . . and a nice, warm fire.
