What I want for Christmas Dear Santa, I bet you ' re surprised to hear from me. I haven ' t writ- ten since I was seven. Then, I told my friends you didn ' t ex- ist. I never did know when to keep my mouth shut. Sorry about that. I know everyone is always writing to you saying gimme, gimme, gimme. Well, big guy, I, too, have something to ask of you. I ' m not asking for the usual stuff. I don ' t want you to talk to my profs even though I ' m on scho pro. (That ' s scholastic probation. I didn ' t make my grades.) I don ' t want a fur coat, jewelry or a ski trip. (Most of my friends are going skiing during Christmas, though.) I ' m not asking for more money. I can handle being overdrawn. I just wish the bank would quit harassing my Dad. Speaking of Dad, I haven ' t told him about my $96 phone bill. But, I really don ' t need cash. What I ' m asking for money can ' t buy although it would be much simpler if it could. John Lennon tried it, and it didn ' t seem to work. John was well-known, but I figure even more people know you. Everyone may not like rock ' n ' roll, but who could dislike Santa? You see, I ' m kind of confused. We were talking about war and the nuclear arms race last week in my political science class. The whole thing just doesn ' t make sense. But, I never claimed to understand politicians. There is a foreign student in the class. No one sits by him. Everyone seems to be mad at him because of his country. Maybe his country is kind of screwing up right now, but it ' s not his fault. Two athletes sit behind me in class. They talk everyday, mostly about l-formations and defensive alignments. Today they were talking about kill- ing someone. I never heard why. Getting back to my re- quest, Santa, I need your help. Everything everybody else worries about seems so unimportant. Just suppose for this Christmas Day, things were different. Suppose there was world peace.

Ho Ho Ho Ttch students got a surprise when Santa drove a Citlbus for a day dur ing December pose that all the hatred was removed. Suppose we were all equal — the same. I know I ' m asking a lot. But, Santa, I know you won ' t let me down. You could never let anyone down. Peace on Earth. Love, A Tech student — Jerri McCrarv 22 — Chriilmas
