With Christmas fast approaching, perhaps we should take time out from the mad exam rush and the flantic preparations for the big celebrations to attempt to re—establish the roots of this season. Too often, we forget in the middle of the rush that this is indeed int- ended to be a season of

What? ? ? Dear Cadre:

We are writing this letter, to bring to your attention the discrimin— ation exhibited by your-

paper. It is a disgrace the way your paper made public ridicule of cer— tain people's physical characteristics. We are

referring to lines 22—23 contained in the article

J

Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards Men.

Christmas today means calculated, rather than spontaneous, gift-giving. You think in terms like I will have to get Aunt Ma— tilda something....five

dollars should cover it...

cousin George of fifteen dollars - let's see what would that be... Does

that mean cousin George

Such a thing is in— excusable. It is enough to make a decent person blush with shame. I am

Shalala (Hey You) and Art Reddin were mortif— ied by such slander. If they do not want to press charges we will contain ' ourselves to this public exposure but if they wish to take the matter to court we offer our supp: ort in every possible way (except financially). Indignantly yours,

Only when a giftfibecom-~

es an expression freely given rather than an ob— ligation grudgingly dona— ted will this type of th- ought cease. Until then we will continue to have to give more and more each year until the extravagan— za breaks many families. Already for some it means

stringent budgets for mon—

ths. Funny that in order to prove their love, we force our closedt friends into this position.

It strikesme, too, that

a gift to be anything of

meaning should express the

giver not the receiver. It should be an attempt to give part of yourself to him and thereby enrich his life not just his possessions. Hence a
