there is no interest being stimulated. Therefore, only if you students who
can write, wish to and will write for the CRIER can there be any newsletter.
And only if you write what other students want to read will the paper be
worthwhile.
2. If there is not enough student interest, why have a CRIER? My
answer is inherent in .the question. (May I mention in passing, however,
that the editors expect a negative answer to the first question. Maintain
ing this assumption, may I propose a question to the editors which they
might consider before "failing" the CRIER—WHY is there no interest?)
Admittedly, I have a personal interest in the CRIER and would very
much like to see it continued, but , objectively, I feel that if after
careful cbhsideracion an SGA service is-defemed a waste o-f -^money, time, and —
effort (to use the old stand-bys) and has served its purpose and is no
longer needed, then it should be discontinued. Progress depends upon dis
carding the unneeded as well as upon expansion.
You students determine the needs. The editors of the CRIER are
apparently looking to you for an a.nswer. If you feel that you have n6 need
to speak further of to listen further, then let the voice be silenti.'

For about the last week I have seen bouncing around happy Elon
with a rare and almost extinct disease — Christmas Spirit. Now for
those of you who don't know what that is let me explain. Christmas
spirit is an infection of the Iccil stream causing an over production
of Gay cells. This conditiori-causes an abnormal secretion of enthusium
from the Lympth stream which results in a series of excretions of Carols,
Smiles, and Good Cheer for as long as the disease persists. '' ’ '
Many many years ago when this disease was jtist beginning to infect
people it was left relatively untammed^ However, as'it began to spread
and inlarge into Epedemics, a cure was introduced. This cure has become
QQ effective that the disease has become almost- Completely annihilated.
Scroogeomyacin, which will' rid anyone of the Christmas Spirit, is available
in any size: and has a life tinie guarantee- It not only attacks the overly
produced Gay cells, but it also in most cases will completely stop the
secretion of enthusium... And if the dose is sufficient will sometimes
replace-the Carols, SmidesV and Good Cheer by a twenty-four hour frown!
‘ Isn't it fantastic to see the great advancements that modern man
has made.' Not only are we beginning to make machines that think, but we
are beginning to think like machines. Mari--is no longer bothered with the
siiidky emotional side of life. Now all he does is obtain the cold^clear
facts, plug them into-a formula equating the bedt possible result for-^
himselfand crank out the proper procedure. Isn't that tremendous/ :
Doesn't it'make you feel all warm inside when you lie .down at night and
try to ^leep to know that so many people have finally been cured of the
Christmas Spirit. And-that if the effect of Scroogeomyacin-k6eps raising
at its regular pace, soon there will be no one left to sing Christmas
Carols at all! And then everyone could concentrate 100% of the time on
