Do You Know the Meaning of Christmas?
A long vacation, big trees
and lights. New clothes, long
parties, lots of food, carols by
the fire. Friends dropping in,
memories brought to light...
Oh the joys of Christmas!
Happy holiday a toast of good
cheer right? All the joys of
Christmas, right?
Well, not exactly, most
people now days seem to have
forgotten the true meaning of
Christmas. The “X” hasn’t
only taken the place of Christ
in it’s spelling but it has also
taken His place in a lot of
lives. To reflect back on the
first Christmas has become
almost obsolete. Christ has
become so foreign to most
holiday celebrations that the
only time His name is brought
into a conversation is when He
is being swore on or uses
profanely. It seems to be the
going thing in these new days
of failing morality and people
not caring one for another.
But for the records, let’s all
go back to the first Christmas.
Christmas is Christ’s birth
day. Someone so important
that all over the world people
celebrate his coming, no
matter how you try to get
around it. A baby was born.
The promised Messiah came
down from forty-two genera
tions to redeem man and now
his birthday has become
exploited, walked over, mis-
Are you aware that there is
a place that you can go if you
are running into problems, or
just don’t know where to go,
or what to do in very stressful*
situations? Information re

used, and abused. A holiday
for millions, when actually it
should be a day of reflection
on how much God loves us. He
sent His Son for us and this no
man could ever do. A gift to us
from God. Can you think of
anybody that loves you so
much that they would give
you their child to kick around,
curse about, lie on, cheat on,
and kill.
A gift of love. Pure true
love. This is the meaning of
Christmas. Pure love unble-

Changes in registration pro
cedures for the Minority
Graduate Student Locater
Service are expected to
substantially increase, per
haps triple, the number of
students in the program,
according to Educational
Testing Service (ETS).
At the same time another
change, a price reduction to
graduate schools, is expected
to increase the number of
schools participating in the
program.
The Locater Service was
developed by ETS five years
ago for the Graduate Record
Examinations Board to help
minority students call them
selves to the attention of
which is located in the TV
room on the main floor of the
Student Union.
The office is staffed by
training, concerned students
who are ready and willing to
help you to find a solution to
any problem which may be
encountered.
The student personnel
mished by the dirt and filth of
the world. We are so corrupt
that we have actually
forgotten that “Santa Claus”
didn’t do it for us. Jesus Did.
This year let us make a
point to try to bring Christ
back into our holiday. Let him
at feast be mentioned to our
celebration. “Let us all go
back to the old time way.”
Have a merrier Christmas
than before.

graduate schools and to help
graduate schools identify
minority applicants. There is
no cost to the students.
Since that time the program
has, with students’ permis
sion, annually distributed
information about the educa
tional goals and backgrounds
of over 9,000 students. ETS
hopes to increase that figure
by allowing students to
register for the service on the
same form used for the
Graduate Record Examina
tions (GRE). A separate form
used only for the Locater
Service will continue to be
available for students who do
not take the GRE.
The Locater Service is
primarily for members of
assistants who work primarily
with commuter students are:
Lila Williams, James Ed
wards, Venesia Moore, Mari
lyn Hubbard and Reesce
Joyner.
All students enrolled at
WSSU may utilize the services
which are offered.
The problems, opportuni
ties, and challenges facing
women today — from personal
relationships and health care
to legal rights and financial
management-are thoroughly
examined in New Life
Options: The Working Wo
man’s Resource Book by
Rosalind K. Loring and
Herbert A. Otto (McGraw-
Hill, 48 pages; $10.95).
The authors, together with a
team of experts from fields as
diverse as family planning,
communications, sports, and
politics, have compiled a
racial and ethnic minorities in
the United States. They
include American Indians,
Blacks, Hispanics, Orientals,
and other minority students
who are second-term college
juniors, seniors or college
graduates. Applicants need
not be enrolled in college at
the present time to take part in
the program.
Student registration forms
and instructions are inside of
the centerfold registration
envelope in the 1976-77
Information Bulletin for the
Graduate Record Examina
tions and Minority Graduate
Student Locater Service.
Copies may be obtained from
most college undergraduate
minority affairs office, the
student affairs office or any
office involved with student
concerns or graduate place
ment.
ETS hopes to have more
graduate schools participating
in the program as a result of a
price reduction in the fee for
schools. The fee, formerly
$340, has been dropped to
$200.
Despite inflation, costs to
college students using the
various services offered by the
Graduate Record Examina
tions Board have remained
level and in some areas
decreased, according to Edu
cational Testing Service (ETS)
which administers the pro
grams for the Board.
For the third consecutive
year prices for the Graduate
Record Examinations (GRE)
national administrations, of
fered nationwide six times per
year, will be held at $10.50
each for the Aptitude Test and
one of the 19 Advanced Tests.
Additionally, in order to
make the GRE available to as
broad a range of students as
possible, the GRE Board has
enlarged eligibility require-

major source of information to
help the working women - as
well as the woman who wants
to work - assess, choose, and
manage her options. This
practical approach is combin
ed with scholarly research and
new perspectives and con
cepts that offer the reader a
broad overview of the
influence women are exerting
on every area of American life.

their effect on women are
explored in the first section of
this guidebook. In “The
Juggling Act: Home and
Career.” one of three chapters
on this topic. Herbert and
Roberta Otto present creative
ideas both for women who are
considering employment and
for those already employed.
Part Two covers numerous
career oppwrtunities, both new
and traditional, open to
women, and includes discus
sions on handling sexism,
assessing favorable working
climates, and starting a
business.
New ways to cope with
illness, in addition to the latest
information on nutrition,
family planning, mental and
physical fitness, and the care
of infants, are provided in the
section on “Taking Good Care
of Yourself,” while yet
another part deals with a
range of personal relation
ships open to women today,
from living alone to coping
with child care as a single
parent.
“Managing Your Options,
the final section, features
discussions on such profes
sional resources for women as
assertiveness training, finan
cial management, continuing
education, and retirement.
