Some students also plan to work and /or travel during the holiday break. Among their favorite memories, students ^joy the time spent with their families.

Another student said he en joyed playing with Hotwheels on Christmas day with his friends.

Angel Foster, a Business Administration student’s favorite memory includes Thanksgivings spent with family, when they get together, eat, fellowship and tell one another what they are thankful for. Many students’ family traditions include spending time with one another and eating-a lot! Devin Staley’s tradition includes a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve to ask him what he wants for Christmas. Devin is an Architecture major. Jackie Bryan, an Of fice Systems Technology major has a big family tradition. Each year at Thanksgiving her whole family of seventy-five gets to gether to “pig out.” Other traditions include cutting dovra the Christmas tree, putting up a Christmas tree and sharing gifts with one another. Whatever your favorite memories or traditions may be, we wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season this year! 15 MPH By Brandon Marley From the response that I have gotten from the last article that I wrote concerning the idea of “speed bumps” being installed on campus, most of you, the students are opposed of this suggestion. Whether you like it or you don’t like it there are students who have taken the liberty to speed on campus, and to disobey the 15 mph speed limit posted on campus. In this journalist’s opinion speed bumps on this campus would help make this college a safer place for faculty and students alike. If you want to voice your opinion on the issue of “Speed Bumps” then place a comment in one of the comment boxes around campus. There is also another thing that needs addressing here on campus. Crosswalks, the ones in front of Thompson, Hayes, Lovette, and the Student & Learning Resources Center are getting worn out and are getting harder to see. I suggest that the college, if they can, get the crosswalks painted so they are easier to see. This would help the students out as they are trying to get to class. Students are almost every day trying to get to class and dodge cars and in my opinion the college needs to find a way to make it a little safer for the students. Please feel free to make any comments you want to about these issues and place them in the sugges tion boxes around campus. Favorite Childhood Christmas Memories Information Collected By Crystal Miller Blair Hancock, English Instructor: As a child the tradition in my home was to put up the tree on Christmas Eve along with a train which circled it. We did not decorate the tree and there were no presents out for the children to rummage through. On Christmas morning my siblings and I would descend the long stairway in my parents’ home full of anticipation. We could not see the tree nor any presents until we reached the bottom of the stairs and turned the comer. Once it came into view the experience was breathtaking. Santa had not only left presents for three scattered about the floor; he had trimmed our tree with the most impres sive decorations we had ever seen. Continued on page 3 Page 2 Cougar Cry
