Policies should be proactive – established to prevent something bad before it happens. When Nicholson took over his position late last spring, he rifled through active policies and noticed the city lacked a clear-cut written stance against sexual harassment. Nicholson said the policy, which is based on federal law, was put into effect to make aware the fact that sexual harassment is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment is described by the policy as making unwelcome sexual advances, requesting sexual favors and making physical acts of a sexual nature. Charleston’s implementation of a sexual harassment policy not only exemplifies the city’s care and respect for its employees, but it also shows that the city is finally making strides, though small, and keeping up with the times. The new policy will not only make potential offenders think twice, but victims will also feel more confident in coming forth to report an incident of sexual harassment.

Is Santa Claus real? Don’t bet a bowlful of jelly on it By Jaime Hodge Staff editor

There comes a time in every young person’s life when the jolly fat man in the red suit is revealed to be, in truth, somebody’s grandfather with a really bad fuzzy white beard and even worse Santa Claus costume. Most Eastern students said they first were disenchanted with the notion that Santa Claus did not exist when they were in third or fourth grade. “I was in third grade and somehow we got into a conversation on the bus into who believed in Santa Claus and who didn’t. Some really big kid said Santa Claus doesn’t exist and I was defending Santa Claus the whole way,” said freshman undecided major Amanda March.“And so when I got home, I asked my mom if he was real or not, and she said no. I said,‘the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny?’ and she said no.” “When I found my lavender ten speed bike down in the basement, I stopped believing in Santa Claus. It must’ve been third or fourth grade,” said freshman business major Carrie Cohorst. Others had their Christmas illusions crushed in earlier years. “I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I heard my mom talking about buying presents for Photo by Anna Betzelberger/Associate photo editor my sister Katy, since she was so hard to buy for. It was very traumatic,” said sophomore English The Charleston Court House stands in lights in celebration of the holiday season. The lights were put up during Eastern’s Thanksgiving Break.
