HOLIDAY IN THE CITY As the final days of Christmas unwind, the sweet mellow sounds of Christmas cheer can be heard ringing throughout the city. The city streets are filled with sightseers gazing at the mystical lights of Christmas ornaments and department store displays. Children_ all a glow with glee, wait their turn in long lines to see one of Santa's helpers. Despite the conditions under which Cinderella lives, her Christmas spirit doesn't seem to be dampened as she works diligently in a department store display along State Street in hope of attending the prince's Christmas Eve ball. Meanwhile on the streets of Chicago, the Salvation Army continues to carol and ring their bells in hope of drawing attention to those less fortunate. Christmas is a time of reflection. A time to be grateful for what we have in life---<~ur health, our ; friends and our family. A time to reach out to those who are less fortunate--the homeless, the terminally ill and the poor. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Happy Holidays Frompaget dinner, fully appreciate a gift or truly believe the "Happy New Year" that crawls past their lips. Visions of finals dance where sugar plums should be. Father Time is not allowed to leave until he finishes his Video Tech II project. Santa doesn't know if we've been good or bad, because final grades aren't due until late January. It's the gift that keeps on giving. And it's not just the stress of being almost a month behind the civilized world, it's the embarrassment. How many of you answer truthfully when Uncle Frank asks how you did this semester? Do you lie, or forfeit the next 30 minutes to explain why you're not finished yet? What do you tell your old high school friends when they want to spend the afternoon with you playing football or going shopping. "I have to study," or "I'm not feeling well"? Li e or explain? We don't need all that extra aggravation. But, "you better not cry, you better not pout." Think of it this way. We're in this mess because Columbia doesn't start the fall semester until the end of September. There are rumors that we do that because of all the lost souls in the world who can't decide what to do with their lives. These unfortunate waifs blow all the college application deadlines and then show up on Columbia's ('open') doorstep. Of course we all will use our break time wisely. We're going to catch up on the work we've been blowing off all semester. We're going to make the stretch run to study for those finals. And "Yes, Virginia (and Mirron) there is a Santa Oaus."
