Frosh Excused From Study To Help On Project The Student Union Building was decorated last Monday night at a special decorating party— special because the freshmen v/ere excused from study hours. The greenery had been gather ed the Saturday before and the next job was to organize and put up the decorations. A huge “brick” fireplace suddenly sprang up in the lounge, carol ers appeared on the windows of the cafeteria, table decora tions covered the tables in the faculty lounge, the big Christ mas tree grew from the floor of the cafeteria, and isnow shone on the Snack Bar windows. Even though there were di vergent influences, students worked around the play practice and the dancing in the juke box room. The decorating commit tee was headed by Cherry Gor ham and Baxter Myers. The next night, Tuesday, . . . The Girls’ Dorm was decorat ed at a meeting of the dorm. The girls arduously put together all sorts of things—^from pine sprays to plastic Christmas trees, while munching Mrs. Mac’s divinity candy. The various decorations were strategically placed throughout the parlor—especially the mis tletoe. The silver aluminum tree adorns Fenner Room and is, of course, the main attraction. But tonight the tree wiU see most of its spirit. The Dorm Social Commis sion, headed by Butch Nichols, is planning an ice cream social and lots of surprises at the party. The secret pals who have been suspiciously hovering around in strange places for the past wek wiU be revealed when the girls open their pre sents around the tree. And who knows, maybe Sadnt J Nick will drop in. FINISHING TOUCHES are added to fireplace by students I (left to right) Betty Ann Stevens, Jimmy Wheeler, and Libby ' Wallace.

Lack of time prevented suffi cient questions and answers, so the group convened again that afternoon. The fine interest in this pro gram Is encouraging to its spon sors; more discussions of the same type are needed to en courage istudents to read con structively outside their basic curriculum. The discussions are especially worthwhile in that they explain ideas that influ ence the world in which man lives. MERLE NORMAN COSMETICS 3 Free Facials Tel. GI 2-6214 125 S.

The PLACE fo BANK ...and SAVE On Tuesday, Dec. 4, a large group of Wesleyan students met after assembly to participate in a philosophical discussion of Jean-Paul Sartre’s playis, “No Exit” and “The Flies.” Mrs. Ann Johnson was mod erator of the debate between James Tedder and Dr. James D. Cox. Dr. Cox began the discussion by explaining a few points of Existentialism, Sartre’s basic philosophy. Reality to the exis tentialist is equated by things that exist in terms of experi ence. Tedder then posed the enig matic question; “What is man?” He gave a brief resume of mod ern philosophy through Sartre, who called for an examination of what it really is to be man. Tedder then outlined the plots and characters of the two plays. Sartre’s dominant theme seems to be the entrapping freedom of man, Sartre believes that man is divided into two parts. First, he is that which is constantly becoming something else. Death, his second characteristic, is the final phase, when man achieves Workers Neecied Anyone interested in work ing on The Decree staff is asked to report to the news paper room Thursday, Dec. 13, at 12:30 p. m.
