flslappg flnlollidaiis lf DePauw students lived at home, it is doubtful that most of them would have the opportunity to walk in the streets wearing black lipstick and spiked hair, drink green beer and eat green bagels, or set up a 5- foot aluminum. rotating, music-playing Christmas tree in their room. They would thus be deprived of the joys of celebrating the holidays on campus. Halloween was one of the more popular occasions, mainly because it afforded the opportunity to eat large amounts of candy and cookies, to dress strangely, and to act even more strangely. Christmas was cherished for even more reasons: Christmas cards Cno more empty mailboxes, at least for a whilejg decorations: the Christmas choir concert and sing-a-long: watching I'?udoldph, the tiGrinch, and Charlie Brown Christmas specials and say- ing the lines along with the characters: mis- tletoe: caroling, and, of course, gift-giving and receiving. Without these festivities, fall 'l finals might be unbearable. Valentine's Day brought dances, candy, and flowers while St. Patrick's day was green all over. Dorm residents had an additional reason for looking forward to holidays blow Off books! Special Dinners with HUGE dessert tables. Why did DePauw students love holidays? Because it gave them one more chance to Clare Smith and Christy Barchet pose with a friend at the Tri-Delt Head Start Halloween Party Hogate Suite 3C decorates for the holidays. BR rooms sparkle with Christmas cheer. I' '- jssefe, f-:K

Clmllvcleri Term - O5-5-Oawiplis DePauw's winter term experience gives students the chance to explore any interest from personal to professional. Many students chose to stay on campus, take a course from the university, and meet many of Their classmates. A diverse range of classes was offered from a gastronomical journey around the world to fractal geometry. Other students participated in university sponsored trips. Students this year had the opportunity to goto London, Moscow, Italy, tours throughout Europe, New York, and a ghost ranch in New Mexico. Still other students found their own trips or internships and met the extensive require- ments. Students in this category did things from Outward Bound to interning with a top Chicago accounting firm. This year, many changes have been pro- posed concerning winter term on and off campus. Some faculty and administration are attempting to eliminate winter term, claiming that it is not academic enough. Others want to reauire all freshmen to stay on campus for a core experience. Although some question the worth of winter term, any DePauw student can explain the wonderful learning experience of their month.
