grounds clean but college newspapers don't write

long-winded diatribes and high and mighty exfoli-

ations about the merits and demerits of keeping the

campus clean, says the Graphis, Pepperdine College,

Los Angeles.

It's just not the thing to do. Not enough class-hardly a so- phisticated college subject. Imagine anything that "way- back-whenish."

It's like belaboring the ob- vious or stooping to immature editorial wrist-slapping to the point of patronizing. There are so many more worthwhile, con- structive collegiate subjects on which intellectual college news- papers can editorialize.

All the old jazz about trash here and loose papers there and this and that with "trash" cha- racteristics is two-bit, trite,

petty, nothing-better-to-write- about stuff.

Everybody knows all the pro- paganda about every litter bit hurting. Scholars, better than anyone else, know that those little things properly analyzed, psyched out, combined, uti- lized-or scattered to the seve- ral winds-can produce self- evident, conclusive truths.......

Editorialize about su.uething as insignificant and uncollegiate as keeping the campus clean? Funny. Ha.

Do You Know What Christmas Truly Is ?

BY LANE LOVELL

Last Thursday night most of the student body attended a very meaningful tradition, only three years old at LC, the Hanging of the Green.

With students gathered on the Quadrangle, leaning out dorm windows, and lining the porch of Hawkes, Dr. McCook told of the significance of the green at Christmas.

Once the Romans tapped their friends with a piece of greenery. We no longer practice this cus- tom of honoring our friends, but we have found other ways of showing our love and appre- ciation.

Evergreen, as we all know, is still used In many ways during the Yuletide season. As we see familiar Christmas trees and wreaths, we should not forget the Green's true meaning in representing the rekindling of our faith in friends, loved ones, and greatest of all, God.

In the few days we remain on campus may the wreaths of the various LC organizations serve their purpose welL Per- haps then we will all look up into the face of God and re- member what our faith really is, and most important, what Christmas really means.

To Combat Exam Fever BY HUGH DUSKIN

The ninth and tenth weeks of each quarter bring about many changes in the activities of a student body.

The clientele of such fami- liar places as The Southern, The Tiger, and Grace's is sud- denly found sweating out the sins of the previous eight weeks over stacks of books In the library. Fewer and fewer are the participants and kibitzers of the perpetual hearts games in the student center. The li- brary staff consumes far below Its usual capacity of tranquil- izers, as students diligently try to accomplish the work of an entire quarter in one week.

The Business Office takes the leftover tranqullizers, how- ever, as a result of students releasing their exteme tension on doors, banisters, ceilings, floors, phone booths, windows, furniture, walls, proctors, and other parts of their dorms.

The reason for this change of atmosphere on campus is the approach of final exams.

After two months of research the best suggestions , as com- piled by personal Interview with holders, witness the following.

Since time Is of the utmost Importance, It behooves each student to strive for efficiency as seen in the administrator's ••system" for pre-registration.

Apportion your time logically. For example, any moron knows that moretime should be spent on speech than on, say, qual- itative analysis.

Blind yourself to the pre- ponderance of social activities on campus. Even, if necessary, deprive yourself of the intoxi- cating organ recitals and art shows.

Once you are in the classroom, and your final has begun, you might remember these tips:

Your appearance is most Im- portant when you enter the room.

Have at least a four day growth of beard, wear no socks, and carry yourself like you are on at least 20 milligrams of "pep."

If the above seems uncon- vincing, either of these tried and trusted excuses are bound to evoke some sympathy.

Tell your professor that you were out with your glriiriena the night before, and you backed into a ditch. In your haste to get back to your books, you pushed the car into a 32,000 gallon propane tank, causing the evacuation of three city blocks. If this doesn't appeal to you,

tell him that you discovered that your roommate has certain e- motional problems, and that be- cause of that you were unable to prepare for his exam.

Our entire research staff hopes sincerely that the fruits of our labors will, In some way, help you on the road to success. If not, we hope you girls will find being a telephone operator In Atlanta as pleasurable as we boys hope to find the exotic country of Viet Nam.

Letters

Will We Collect? To The Editor,

When will the administration see fit to repair the banister in Pitts Hall? Perhaps after a student either falls over or through it.

I think my interest in the an- swer to this question would be shared by the North American Assurance Society of Virginia. This is the company which iss- ued the policy which protects most of us here at LaGrange.

It would seem that the ad- ministration is doing its best to insure that those of us liv- ing in Pitts get an opportunity to collect on our policies.

THOMAS A. HUGHES Box 430

About Those Cuts To the editor: Perhaps you weie one of the

unfortunate creatures who re- ceived a delightful letter from the absence committee concern- ing your chapel cuts.

A certain part of the letter, I'm sure , raised the eyebrows of many students and parents alike, "...any student taking more than three assembly cuts in any quarter will be allowed no assembly absences during his next quarter of attendance." This section of the rules is tol- erable if you can sit for an hour every week and absorb many and varied "inspiring words" without getting bored to distraction. Keep in mind, how- ever, this is an "institution" of "higher learning", not to be confused with a coed monas- tery.

As if this weren't punishment enough they continue with more radical comments.."Continued absences from assembly may result in immediate exclusion." This Is as far as the quote reads. It may mean we needn't go to eat (which Isn't punish- ment-need It be said) or we needn't go to class. I assume It's the latter.

I'm sure we are all confident that our educational leaders know best. It doesn^ matter if we get thrown out of college for not enduring a marvelous speech by a cotton inspector on how to make a success of our lives. Perhaps a voluntary method could be divised with an occasional compulsory sess- ion for speakers of broad and varying scope.

Some students skipped chapel the Wednesday before Thanks- giving if they had no classes un- til one o'clock to get an extra day of "happiness". Obviously "the leaders" weren't In a holiday mood. You got double cuts for this "crime." This was probably the clencher for many a homesick student. If so don't wail, just pick an- other college. With some mo- tivation maybe the absence committee will reconsider the injustice done the day before Thanksgiving.

Finnish Christmas Similar BY SIRKKA SALO

EDITORS NOTE; The following article was sub-

mitted to The Hilltop News at the request of the editor. It is One effort to promote under- standing between different peo- ples of the world.

Sirkka will be spending her first American Christmas with Dr. Henry and his family.

Finland is Santa Claus'shome country. Far in the north, in Lappland, there is a little moun- tain called Korvatunturi (The Ear Mountain). Inside this mountain Santa Claus is supp- osed to have his home and his workshop.

At Christmas time SantaClaus visits the homes on the evening of the 24th, but the celebration of Christmas begins earlier in the day.

At noon the mayor of Turku, the oldest city in Finland, "de- clares the peace" in the whole country during Christmas time. Usually all the people watch this ceremony on TV or listen to it on the radio. After this the tree is brought into the house and decorated. On top of each tree there is always a star.

Late in the afternoon every family goes into the "sauna," the Finnish steam bath. The Christmas sauna is really a tradition in Finland.

Christmas dinner is eaten in the evening. We eat either ham or turkey. The ham is baked in the oven in one piece of about

ten pounds. With the ham there are potatoes, a salad, and other vegetables. Before the ham we have dried codfish. For dessert there is rice porridge. In the porridge there normally is one almond, which is said to bring good luck to the one who gets it

After, or sometimes during the meal, the father of the family reads the Christmas story from the Bible.

Finally it is time for Santa Claus to come. He really comes in person, traveling with his reindeer, and bringe the pre- sents. He is dressed in the same way that Americans see him and he always has little assistants with him. He talks to the chil- dren and gives them their gifts.

Early in the morning on Christmas"Day we go to church. In some places, the service begins at 7 a.m., and in some at 6 a.m., but we have to go earlier to the church, because everybody goes to church at Christmas and it is hard to get a seat. Usually there is only one church for from 2,000 to 5,000 people.

The rest of the day is spent among the family. There are no social activities on Christmas Day. December 26 is the day for parties.

Christmas time lasts until Twelfth Night (January 6), when the tree Is taken out again. An important part of Finland's snow,, it doesn't feel like Christ- mas, and Santa Claus can.tride in his sleigh.

Bipartisan Conversation (ACP)-- Emory University's

Conversation Viet Nam is an exciting example of student con- cern with the problems of our society and the world, says the Emory Wheel, Atlanta, Ga.

The Committee for Conversa- tion is composed of students of all political sympathies whose only interest in common is a desire to have a high-level dis- cussion led by recognized and knowledgeable speakers. The Committee is noteworthy be- cause it was conceived by stu- dents who organized themsel- ves and carried through in spite of any obstacles.

The students felt that fellow students would be interested enough in a conversation to make voluntary contributions toward expenses. Had they not felt the project could be finan- ced, the Committee would never have begun the arduous task of organizing and planning. We feel their optimism isabigvote of confidence in the interst of the student body, dent body.

inese students want the op- portunity to ask questions and re-evaluate their opinions on the issue of war in Viet Nam, and they want all Emory students Jo have the same opportunity.

The interest of these students in a bipartisan discussion of a problem of such importance is indicative of the newly acquired cosmopolitan concern of our generation with affairs of the world.

If anyone has any free time from exam-cramming there is an exciting adventure movie, "Sands of the Kalahari," that will prove to be a pleasant di- version.

The scene is darkest Africa In the treacherous Kalahari Desert where baboons run wild. It is the strange tale of six unfortunate victims of a plane crash in this unhealthy setting, one of them a woman.

Suzannah York, one of the brightest of the new British stars, plays Grace, the woman who has a constant struggle to protect herself from the five men and from her own emotions. The role is a chall- enge and Miss York handles it commendably.

Handsome Stuart Whitman disposes of all the other men in a desire to be the king of all he surveys, but his plans backfire as Bain, played by Stanley Baker, reappears to warn Grace of what Whitman is doing.

It is a powerful study of the struggle for survival in the par- ched desert, foraging for food and water, and trying not to revert to animalism. The col- or photography is breath-taking.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Happiness is as a butterfly, which when pursued is always beyond our reach, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

SKTY FOOTER WINS GREATEST SHOT IN LC BASKETBALL

Lundy missed the shot and Dave Corless tipped the ball to his brother Hugh. Hugh took two steps away from the top of the circles and let the ball fly. As the ball sailed through

lie air the buzzersounded. But when the buzzer stopped, the ball feU through the nets of
