Dear Readers,

Cobleskill Is alive with the Christmas spirit . Here I sit 2 hours before this Issues deadline. writing my editorial while watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with the rest of the people in the Vroman Hall Lounge. Soon the tree and Menorah In Bouck Square Merry will be lit. My floor is really into the Christmas spirit. One of the girls. Christmas Beth. brought a tree from home for all of us to decorate. We put it In the lounge and decorated it as best we CQuld. Lights were donated to make it shine. Some very ambitious people even strung from popcorn and cranberries for our beloved tree. (Does anyone out there rea lize how long that takes !?) The tree was then topped with "The Girls" a beautiful red foil star . Our lounge Is open for anyone who wants to el")joy the tree. We all thought it was wonderful to share our Christmas joy with others. The tree became a gathering spot for after dinner and such. Well, I guess not everyone enjoyed the tree like we did though. We Woke up one morning to find our lounge trashed and the tree lying on its side. We were perSistent though. fixing it up again as best as possible. Then. Sunday morning we awoke and found our tree miSSing . We followed the tinsel trail. recovering strings of lights and other decorations as we went. The trail led to the floor above ours. and then out the window to the ground below where the tree layed. What sort of " person" would do something like this? What could a Christmas tree do to deserve such treatment? Only the Grinch would do such a thing! However. as Grinch fans know. the Dr. Suess character was reformed. He returned the trees and other Christmas paraphernalia that he abducted from HOC-Ville, and then joined in their celebration of the holiday. I can only hope that whoever trashed our tree will do the same. After aiL what a terrible thing to have on one's consc ience! Well, our tree Is standing again in our lounge. Worse for the wear of course, but none the less there. It's not only my floor fhats had such troubles though. I' m hoping this editorial will squelch not only Christmas vandalism but all of it. People work hard to make the dorms homey and n ice. People who destroy such at. mospheres only hurt themselves and their peers. Hopefully things will be different next semester. Until then have an enjoyable and relaxing break! Good Luck on Finals. Happy Holidays!! Sincerely • Anne E. Rv an. Frli tn ..

' As I listened to her. another story. an old story. came into mind. Merry Christmas It Is the story of a little boy born in a manger because his parents V·, were too poor to rent a room in an Inn.They named him Jesus. As Jesus grew older he traveled the lands and tried to teach people to love one another. Even though we are all different and perhaps even unique in our own way we should share together the joys of life and live in harmony, he said. He too, like m y friend, was ridiculed. Eventually he gave his life at the hands of a band of selfish people. Each year Of' a very special day, Jesus' birthday. we celebrate by rejoicing the gift of life and love which Jesus gave his life for so unselfishly. I hope that these people who hurt my friend, and all of us, will remember what Jesus tried to teach us, and not only for that one day out of the year. After all, isn't that what he wanted.
