No Man is An Island . . .
Who Is He?
He is a composite of many
things: wise counselor, a guid
ing hand, a shoulder to cry on
when one is in dire need of a
friend. He is everybody’s per-
.~on.al Ann Landers and Dear
A:bby all rolled Into one. No
(woblem is too large or small
for him to take into considera
tion. No student is too insignifi
cant to 5pend an hour within his
office discussing a pressing
■problem.
He is a familiar sight as he
ixTidges up the steps of Dun
ham Hall everj' morning short
ly before nine, grinning cheer
fully at the bevy of students
that greet him. His appearance
i;; always preceded slightly by
tliat pipe which he can never
qtiite manage to light.
He is a “walking encycloped-
ii" to his English students, not
to mention the fact that he is
one of their favorite instruc-
Ijrs. He is “college prof” per
sonified.
Of course it’s Dean Roberts.
Who else could it be??

A star in the sky, carols in
the evening air, a candle in the
window, a wreath on the door,
mistletoe hung high, poinsettas’s
aflame in the firelight, gifts spill
ing from beneath a lighted tree,
friends around the holiday table,
families reunited in love, church
bells in the morning — This
is Christmas in America.
Not like Christmas in any oth
er land, but like Christmas in
many lands is our American
Christmas. Rich treasures of
custom and tradition, woven in
to a pattern with our own coun
try’s treads, have given us the
colorful pageantry of our Christ-
mastide.
Let us then listen to the les
son of the years and centuries
and not to what the hours are
saying. The hours are often dis-
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus; but he doesn’t teach at
Brevard College.

will also be ice skating in Ha

a Caesar on the throne, a Paul
in prison, and Christians in the
Catacombs. But now, after the
centuries — the Caesars gone;
Paul a symbol of faith; and Je
sus, the Truth and the Light,
reaching out to every nation.
Although the melodies of the
songs are not the same, nor the
customs and traditions alike, all
seek the Star, the Christ-child of
Bethlehem. Let us at Christmas-
tide bring our gifts of many
kinds to him, and may the mes
sage of our songs, in whatever
language, be “Glory to God-and
on earth. Peace.”
And as we write Anno Domini
in our dates, let us truly make
our years, years of our Lord.

The Cellar Dwellers have a
new theme song; but they are
having copyright troubles, so it
may be some time before the
paper can print the words.
Answers to this week’s ques

who is in the Transylvania
Community Hospital at the

is not the same without her
so we all hope that she will
recover soon.
December 10 through 18 is
Human Rights Week. The
United Nations and the United
States have set aside this week
to remember the Declaration of
Human Rights (U.N.) and the
Bill of Rights (U.S.). During
the week every citizen should
find some time to give thought
to his own and to his fellow-
man’s rights as human beings.
“All human bemgs are bom
free and equal in dignity and
rights; everyone has the right
to life, liberty, and security of
person; all are equal before the
law; no one shaU be subjected
to arbitrary arrest; everyone
has the right to a freedom of
thought, conscience, and re
ligion; everyone has the right
to freedom of opinion and ex
pression; everyone has the right
to freedom of peaceful assemb
ly; everyone has the right to
take part in the government of
his country, directly or through
freely chosen representatives;
everyone has the right to edu
cation,” These are Human
Rights. It is nice to know that
these things are guaranteed us
simply because we are humans.
But as mature college stud
ents, we confess to the know
ledge of duties that parallel our
rights and freedoms. Yes. the
above Rights are ours simply
because we are alive; but if we
expect to continue to live in a
society in which such rights are
guaranteed, then we must meet
our duties.
Just what are these duties?
Well, in effect there is just one
that surpasses all other duties
to such an extent that its im
portance singles it out. That
duty? It is to see that all other
human beings are guaranteed
their own rights. The reason for
this duty is quite logical. If you
do not respect other men’s
rights, then how do you expect
them to respect yours?
During Human Rights Week
give it a try; and go out of
your way to show respect for
■other people simply because
they are people. It will be a
great way to start the Christ
mas Season.

An Immortal Story
The Gospel Of St. Luke
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and
vv^rapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there was no room for them in
the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around about them;
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them. Fear not; for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all 'people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lx)rd.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a mul
titude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
Luke 2:7-14
