For cen turies the favorite subject of the Wise Men was the first CJhristmas, and because God knew the secret desire in their hearts to experience another Christmas on Earth, He had just granted them permission to spend Christmas on earth in New York. Sure enough on Christmas Eve of 1956, by a miracle, the Three Wise Men awoke to find themselves in New York. “My goodness, can you imagine how much more the people must . celebrate Christ’s birthday since they have known Him for 1,956 years and how much Christmas spirit we are going to witness this year,” remarked one of the Wise Men. “Indeed yes,” answered another. “Let’s mix in with the great throngs of people. In that way it won’t take long to find people worshipping Christ.” A great hustle and bustle was cre ated by people rushing hurriedly to and fro with huge packages vnrapped in bright Christmas paper and rib bons. Even though soft chilling snow was forming a white blanket on the ground, the frozen people stUl smiled and called merry greeting to each other. Bells jingled, and voices sang on every stret copier. Inside the large department store windows were bright scenes of winter wonder land including snowmen and rein- The Three Wise Men paused be fore a window, admiring the lovely scenery when they noticed some thing was missing. There was no scene of the Infant Jesus in his manger! Instead, the center of at traction was a fat, jolly old man wtih white whiskers. Dressed in a bright red suit trimmed in white fur, he had a bag of toys thrown over his shoulder. Wondering who this person could be, the Wise Men were wandering down the streets when caught in a throng of people, they were forced inside a department store. Here a man was exclaiming, “Make this the COLLEGE ENROLLMENT Continued from Page 2 “Since school .teachers and school administrators are in such tremend ous demand because of the unparal leled classes of children, no similar restrictive measures have been taken by the undergraduate colleges of education,” Dr. Walters observed. They have admitted substantially all applicants certified by the high schools.” Analysis of Dr. Walter’s 1956 re turns compared with 1955 full-time attendances (part-time students not included) shows that of 330 indepen dent colleges of arts and sciences— most of them smaller colleges, 236 reported increases of from 5 to 35 MERRY CHRISTMAS from THE PILOT STAFF RAY ROLLINS GREETINGS and salutations, and aU that sort o’ rot. The purpose of this column is to bring you news, views, situations, and happenings around the campus which should be of -interest to you. It is hereby promised that there will be a liberal sprinkling of both bouquets and happiest Christmas yet for your wife. Give her a Maytag washer and watch her face gleam with joy on Christmas Day. No money down. Buy and save now. Hurry one, hurry all.” Finding no true spirit of Christ mas here, the Wise Men wandered back on the street, still hoping to find a group of people worshipping the true spirit of Christmas. With delightful squeals and cries, a group of small children crowded around a figure who was passing out free goodies. It was the same fat, jolly man dressed In the red suit. One of the children shouted, “Sanita Claus, please bring me a bicycle for Christmas. I’ve been a good boy this year.” All day long such scenes greeted the Wise Men as they wandered from one block of the huge city to another. Finally toward the end of the day, the Wise Men, discouraged and tired, were about to return to Heaven, thinking all earth people were sacri legious when they stumbled across a small brick building. A bright light shining radiantly from a tinted win dow revealed wooden figures on the lawn-of the building. Upon observ ing closer, the Wise Men saw that the figures were representative of the people and worshipped CJhrist at the first Christmas. Inside the building which had now been estab lished as a church, people were sing ing “Silent Night, Holy Night. . Here at last the true spirit of Christ mas was found, preserved by true Christians. Hence, years after their return to Heaven, the Wise Men had two fa vorite subjects to talk about—the first Christmas and A good place tc thing all of us the friendly att dents behind thi cafeteria.

Acting in good faith, the R. B. club of Second West (which incidentally wasn’t the Ronald Beane Club) immediately dissolved. But recently there came news an other relatively new club on the campus which seems to be material izing rapidly—an Elvis fan club. An alert PILOT reporter learned that one of the faculty'members recently received a gift from Tennessee which she termed "... a beautifully auto graphed picture of Elvis.” Well, who knows what may be next!!! Alarm clocks have become much less a necessity recently in Decker Hall since construction of the phy sical education plant has begun. The boys now wake up to the sound of bulldozers, which means an earlier waking hour for many of them. But what better way to begin each day than with a reminder of progress!! With the completion of term pa pers, the dormitories no longer have the resounding noises all through the night of the clacking of type writers. The place was beginning to sound like the teletype room in a newspaper plant. With pressing deadlines to meet, the library had to be re-opened late Saturday night on one occasoin to allow at least one student to seek additional material. One of the most looked-forward-to periods of the day is the time when Gary Cannon puts up the mail. Gary seems to have a personal interest in seeing the results of the service he performs. Something that deserves our seri ous consideration is the March of Dimes campaign which comes up in January. Let’s remember those who are less fortunate than we. As a result of the last issue of the PILOT, there seems to be a few ca'-es of dissension about who the PILOT belongs to and who should write the articles for it. In the first issue of the PILOT there was an editorial urging students to submit articles for publication. To tho'e who are concerned about the matter, it should be pointed out that the invitation to all students to submit articles is a standing one. Rather than resent the editor’s privilege, why not share in the responsibility. With the coming of the Christmas holidays, and the hustle and bustle of packing to go home, comes the memory of something that happened at the beginning of the Thanksgiving holidays. When practically everyone had disappeared from the campus leaving it all but deserted, one of the local students, standing on the steps of the library, remarked how sad it was to see everyone leaving the cam pus. This remark seemed odd until she explained that she was thinking of those few students who wouldn’t have the opportunity of going home because of duties to perform. Also, having never experienced the feeling of homesickness herself, she failed to share in the general enthusiasm of going home for the holidays. If tradition holds true, many of the girls will return after the Christ mas holidays sporting new spark ling bands of joy. Girls; If you can’t get him to co-operate other wise, tell him it’s for the sake of Gardner-Webb tradition. In going home for the Christmas holidays, let’s celebrate the occa sion, but let’s commemorate the birth of Christ. To all, in behalf of the PILOT staff, here’s wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Overheard in the ladies’ loUnge: “The new principal is a regular bookworm.” “Why bring books into it.” A Ladles Society in a sheltered southern town took up as one of its chores writing to convicts at the state penitentiary to cheer them up. They didn’t know the names of the prisoners, just their numbers. One old lady, seeking to put her correspondence on a more friendly plane, wrote to her inmate: “Dear 6883954, may I call you PROF. F.
