December 7. 1966 Try One Of These Suggestions To Show Your TCC A Blast Robert Edwin Harper, my economics instructor, candidly said this of the typical Caro lina coed: "They seem five feet, eight, when actually they are five, six." This seems to hint that some you-know-whos have their noses stuck up in the ole' Carolina blue sky. Sor ry 'bout that. In line with this, I offer the real, true to life, everyday thing one Carolina coed does . that makes her way and above the mass of typical CC's. This is the warm smile accompa nied by a soft "thank you" that follows the door being opened for her by a CCCHR. Just as the little things mean a lot, the little thank yous also add meaning. The CCCHR is of course, a Cool, Crazy, Caro lina Hell Raiser. What else? The Embers Club is really providing the coolest enter tainment around these days. Tonight, the Embers Bobby, Jackie, Frank, and Durwood are on hand. Friday, the Sat ans of Winston-Salem are ap pearing. The Catalinas of Charlotte are on tab Saturday.

Day Of Three Kings Mexican Kids Have Two Yules MEXICO CITY (UPI) Mex ican children get a double whack at gifts during the yuletide season. They have two gift days December 25 and January 6, the "Day of the Three Kings." Two celebrations are rolled into one during the yuletide, a combination of the centuries-old Mexican f estivites and the Christmas tree and trim mings from the North. Mexico gets a head start on most of the world with Christmas festivities, which begin December 16, date of the first "posada." The uni que and typically Mexican "posada" is reenacted night ly until Christmas Eve, com memorating the pilgrimage of the Holy Family in quest of lodging. I'M MAKING OUT A MY CHRISTMAS UST...ONLY J 10 SHOPPING V DAYS LEFT, J YOU KNOW l-7 tHi.Naih.SU . While the United States is still dreaming of a white Christmas, the totally differ ent and fascinating Mexican observance goes on in the mild spring-like weather that prevails most of . the year in large parts of the country. For instance, in Mexico City, December is a month of gentle breezes and sun shine during the day and cool evenings that call for an egg nog, known as "rompope." I early. December hun dreds of thousands of fami lies are preparing the tradi tional "nacimientos" or "cre ches" the nativity tableaux depicting Biblical scenes rela ted to the birth of Christ. Homes, offices and business houses are enriched with in which the country's artis tic talent finds full play. To provide the clay figures for the scenes, many thousands Christmas In Other Lands of native craftsmen have been busy for months. Festive Air The magnificent public markets in Mexico City take on a festive air with these beautiful figures and other accessories "on display, along side the newer and equally fascinating Christmas tree ornaments, imported or made by Mexico's own artisans. - Streets are gay with strings of lights and neon-lighted Christmas figures. Part of Christmas are the famous "pinatas," the incre dible papier - mache figures, ranging up to four or five feet in length, built around a clay jar filled with candies, nuts, toys, and other goodies. Only the maker's imagination limits the shape of the figur es, which may be a simple multiple - pointed star, a hu man figure, a bird, animal fish, airplane, or automobile. Breaking of the "pinata" is part of the festivities accom panying the nightly "posada." Participants are blindfolded, whirled around a few times after being handed a long stick. Each separately tries to smash the jar. When it breaks there is a general scramble to harvest its contests, scattered over the floor.

HELSINKI (UP) - Starry-eyed children the world over know that Santa Claus lives in the Finnish Lapland in Korvatunturi, which is 1, 610 feet high in the middle of nowhere. It's only a geographical oddity that Santa's home 100 . miles north of the Arctic Cir cle, is divided! into two by the Finno-Soviet border. On the Finnish side of the frontier the old gent is known 'as "Joulupukki." On the So viet side he doesn't exist. Rus sians have "Father Frost," bearer of gifts on New Year's Day. Come Christmas time, the story goes, the jolly old man hops into his reindeer-pulled csled, and off he goes bearing ' parcels and gifts for the chil dren of the world. In reality, of course, he just grabs a cab and takes off on ja lsusy evening ; which; may 'ee "him- at half, a dozen homes,: ground the city. 1 The more modern Santas trust in airplanes and one of the most beloved is American. : U.S. servicemen stationed in the Ramstein Air Force Base in West Germany have arran ged "Operation Jingle Bells," a gift bearing tradition to made the orphans of the Fin nish far north happy. "Jingle Bells" has now been carried out nine times, and a Convair from Ramstein is ex pected here again in Decem ber. Christmas in Finland is a family occasion, a moment to honor the dead and a time to purify both body and soul. On Christmas Eve, after the humdrum of the day has turn ed into silence, smoke can be seen rising from a multitude of bath houses, or saunas, in the rural areas. Having wash ed, the family visits the neigh borhood cemetery to light can dles on the graves of their loved ones. Later in the evening father mother and the tots sit down to a dinner table for the big meal which consists of a 20- -pound' ham, -; rice porridge, heady beverages and other delicacies of an astonishing variety. After dinner, it's time for Santa to distribute the gifts. A professional "Joulupukki" he is usually a student in need of money or a relative of the family may make numerous calls during the ev ening hours, and he can in most cases count on a glass of strong "gloegg." Santas who have stumbled their way straight to the city lockup are no rarities here. Having fed their bodies on Christmas Eve, Finns go to Christmas church the next morning. Usually it is by car, but in some rural areas tra ditions still live on and they go in a sleigh behind a team of horses. Prior to the "pinata" and the eating of typically Mexi can foods, the "posada" be gins with a procession pro ceeding to a previously desig nated house. The marchers carry lighted candles, sing carols and litanies, led by children holding a litter with figures of Joseph and Mary. They chant their request for lodging. The response comes also in song from in side. After denials, the door finally is opened and the marchers troop in for the be ginning of a joyous party with a procession of all par ticipants inside the house. In many cities special church services are held, in cluding a midnight mass known as "misa de gallo" (the rooster's mass), and ma ny celebrations continue un til dawn.
