The library decoration is the
earliest Christian symbol for
Christ, the fish. The letters of
the Greek word for fish form
an acrostic for the phrase,
•‘Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Sav
iour”. This was used by Christ
ians during the early persecu
tions to identify each other.
Clement of Alexandria recom
mended the design of a fish as
suitaible for Chr.stians to use
CD jewelry. In the catacombs

SGATo Give
$25.00 As Award
Christmas is a time to be happy and also a time
for giving. This year the SGA is sponsoring a Christ
mas drive in conjunction with the Brevard Jaycees.
Baskets of canned goods, old clothing, and money
are being collected in all dormitories and the day
students lounge and will be turned in to the Jaycees,
who will in turn make someone’s Christmas a happy
one.
In order to promote a little competition among
the dorms and Day Students, the SGA has decided
to give an award of $25 to the dorm which collects
the most. The winner however, will be determined
by the most items in their baskets. These baskets
will be collected between December 6 and 12.

Mr. Bill Baker of Tusculum College will be on
campus December 16 to talk to any sophomore inter
ested in transferring to Tusculum.
