lEbttonal PAGE TWO THE CLARION December 12, 1969 i^XoTs A Man From Galilee “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. The words ring a familiar bell because they are words that we have heard in connection with tne Christmas season for all of our lives. Yes very familiar but it seems that more and more each year the words are repeated parrot-like, Ir no meaning. Amid the hust e and business^ way in which Christmas is handled each year, there is little or no regard to the real meaning of ^he cele bration of Christmas. Christmas JS ^he birthday ot Christ. This year, we should all send out a d^ecree to the world to celebrate the birth of Christ, and t y downgrade the capitalistic views on the holiday. “And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by These were people, like out^a worked from day to Tittle has meager living in a world of hardsh p. , changed in the last two thousand y^ars People are still struggling in their drive for a better lite, ‘’“'■'i’Be'nr'afraid; for behold.

What was true for the small few on a starlit hilltop niany years ago is still true for us today. Let us forget that i portant haippening in centuries past, for it attects T^ot onlv our lives today but our future. And in our quest for a peaceful world in which brother loves brother, hate is turned to love, war to peace, prejudice to kindness, and in our search for a utopia let us not forget who gave us this dream. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased.” New SGA Proposal The Student Legislature passed a Wednesday evening which, in effect, stated that al students who do not maintain a 2.0 average should be required to participate in closed study period four nights out of the week. , , , The new ruling affects the men students more than the women since the women are already under the closed study system. , We tend to believe the new proposal, and the old one for that matter, concerning the closed study system unfeasible and ridiculous. Nothing short of armed guard would be needed to keep the vast ma- iority of freshmen men in their rooms for study for two hours a night. And in their rebellion against ^forced study, the young men would probably study enough anyway. We think the whole system of closed study is undemocratic and childish. ‘“'“^“Sntain it has helped many women m the past to maintain bettS gradel or his it? The question will never be answered, for who can say these women would not have studied without being forced into it. mTDENTS" V” TEAC MERS V Student Shares Experience From Red Bird Mission By LARRY LANIER provide a well - rounded high school education to the moun- This past summer I visited a youth.
