Beloui is Mark Kenas' last creature effort. It occured to 'mi that it might in some tangible way effect all of us. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. See vu the second semester. ' - Mary Bohanon "the cause of the Hion of our American 'Basically this: the qf each citizen's' ' for governmeii! and Hal ?. , t ; ! assume that America once was a society interested as a whole wit h the problems of the day, with faith in the solution of these problems throught common effort by means of sometimes intelligent and well-reasoned, sometimes heated and belligerent discussion of the issues. As evidence I point to the open town meetings, well-attended lyceum programs, numerous street corner debates, political bar-room brawls. -in essence, the local nature of politics in our early American history. I do not intend to dwell at length on these as sources of governmental policies, I only wish to point out the personal involvement characteristic of the citizens at that time. Contrast this with the present day situation, apathy to the nth' degree. The individual ;is no longer concerned i about oru society, rather he is concerned about his society The dynamics of his society do not encompass the political spectrum of life. That is left to the professional politician. For some unknown reason it is popular to think it is "below" one's dignity to engage in activities which pertain to the direction and scope of policies relevant to the foundations and functions of our present and future society. "Why should I be concerned with the determination of the laws and rules I am to live by?" seems to be the flippant attitude of the average citizen as long as his socio-economic needs are not being threatened. He does not care about creating and organizing a society better equipped, certainly not ahead of time anyway, to deaf with contemporapy problems. His is a politics of necessity-and barely even that. Perhaps he will put up a fuss if his orgy of Sunday afternoon football games is removed from the public TV networks. Or he might indingantly if gasoline goes up to fifty cents per gallon. But don't worry. By next week his anger will have subsided and he will be back in the same old rut a rut barely distinguishable from the rut of his neighbors, his friends, his parents, his kids, their kids, and infinitum Little does he care about the workings of the society he lives(?) in. He reeks in the rot of his material affluence, and the poverty of his soul. When will he wake up? Probably never. So instead I will address myself to you who are taking the time to read this, assuming you are somehow vaguely dissatified with the present state of affairs. (If you aren't, you need not read any further.) If you are dissatisif ied. why not upset the status quo? Life does not have to be as it is. You can change it. How? By your own (eventually, our collective) seal and determination. What method? Certainly not by vegetating in front of the "boob tube". Or by calling on the gods. Or by dutifully paying your taxes. Concrete change can onl y be accomplished by your active participation in the control of the society you live in. POLITICS IS THE INSTRUMENT OF CONTROL AND CHANGE IN OUR SOCIETY. There are others woven into the fabric of our society, but this is the most basic. The founders of this country made it that way and that method remains intact to this dya. However, the exercise of political powere has been divested from the auspices of the people and invested in the professional politics ns. What once was the power of "We the People" has been abdicated by those people, you and me. The power did not cease to exist because we neglected it, rather it has been usurped by self-serving professional! i polticians collectively known as Congress, individually, as the President. (Note: We all are self-serving to some extent. It is up to each of us, including policians, to realize where on that continuum we lie and be willing to pbulicly proclaim that with honesty and openness.) Power is now concentrated in the national government and will be perpetuated there until the day we die, unless you and I, the grass roots, demand its return to us. I ask you, do you really think the national government, or state, or local, for that matter, can decide for you, i ndependent of your input how to best educate your children, hwo to build your highways, how to combat your urban sprawl, your pollution, etc.? Of course, if you don'complain when the quality of life, your life, deteriorates and you find yourself unable to figure but why or who's 1 f SoviRfs Club Sponsors Christmas Party DRASTICALLY LOW PRICES. . . and Trucks!

I know I sometimes find myself helpless when I think I am standing alone before that Colossus known as Democracy, knowing that sometimes along the line its ideals and goals have been perverted within the practical system of government that has evolved from it. A systme system so perverted, I look at it with revulsion in my soul. I can barely compromise my spirit to work within its devious methods. Furstrated, I am at times moved to tears of dispair. So what can I do, flee from America, hoping to find the elusive precepts elsewhere? No. For democracy is not as elusive as it may seem It is within me where-ever I may go. I need not chase it to hinterlands unknown. Knowing there are others fighting the same when I can; without, when I must. The Colossus must be destroyed. Government "of the People, for the People, by the People" must be restored as a systme of transactions between you and me, for our real not imagined, mutual well-being. Let us join hands and work together diligently with hope, while enduring our frailties, to bring about a healed spriit of democarcy to the land of our forefathers. the rain drenched winds. Such a night 'was unfit for man or beast to venture out into. But, the members of the Thrifty Savings Club, apparently, thought differently -a better average attendance put in an appearance at Durham's Downtowner where the Club's annual - Christmas Party was being staged. A long line of beautiful gorgeously begowned, smartly coiffured ladies pirouetted into the red and gold banquet room of Durham's palatial Downtowner Motel. The Thrifty Savings Club is a woman's club whose unwritten slogan is manifested through its activity programming and achievements: "when we work, we work hard; when we relax, we relax in elegance." Good-food, good friends, and gorgeous backgrounds. Coordinator for this Christmas Dinner Party was Mrs. Stattie H. Russ; Mrs. Mary VanhoOk served as toast mistres ; during this festivaL Christmas Belles: Mmes.
