CHRISTMAS HITS Tl-IE CAMPUS Suddenly it was December and thoughts turned to Christmas-and parties and tinsel-decorated trees and mysterious packages and eggnog and shopping and sending Christmas cards and GOING HOME! 'Twas the season to be jolly and the campus reflected the elated mood with Christmas carols played from the SUB, holiday parties and dances, parties for the under- privileged children, open houses and receptions.

ARIATIGNS IN STUDY H BITS Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious vol- ume of forgotten lore- . . . with an abundant supply of no-doz, Diet-Rite, cookies--and four term papers, live tests, two book reports, and six classes to prepare for tomorrow . . .
