PAGE 2 THE DECREE MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1973 Merry Christmas To All From The Decree As the Christmas season draws near once again the Editors would like to take time out to wish each and every student a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The following is a kind of Christmas Card from Tom and myself to the Wesleyan community. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with Gk)d, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its shame, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. (Copied).

Dear Charlie, Homecoming is now over and I think I can say it was a success even though many alumni chose not to fight the gas shortage and remained home. For the students it was a weekend of gaiety that shall be long remembered. All too many times the people who spend long hours preparing for such an event go unnoticed. People like you, Donald Williams and of course Cindy Wax and Mack Buhrman, Social Commission Chairmen, deserve the thanks of the whole student body for a job well done. With out the diligent efforts of the above named students the events would not have been a care free and happy as they were. Administrators of the college are often forgotten as well for the part they play in bringing off such an event. We all owe thanks to Mamma Hagins, Mrs. Alexander, Dean Maxwell and Mrs. Harrison for the help given to Mack and Cindy and the Commission. It was a job well done and one everyone can be proud of. I thank you all for the efforts and time you all spent in making the weekend a great one. Sincerely, Tom Hardison SGA President Dear Charlie, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make this Homecoming a success. I’ll begin with saying thanks to the illustrious Sooner Club for the great party on Thursday night. I hope that the Sooner’s will continue to have these beer blasts to add to the social life on campus. The parties that the frater nities and sororities had during the weekend were appreciated by many. It makes you wonder what it would be like on this campus without the Greek systems. By the time Saturday roUed around, everyone was ready for a full day of activities. The bed race started things off. It wouldn’t have been possible without the creative minds of the fraternities to put the beds together and race them. The basketball game was close, and we were behind our Bishops all the way. Our School spirit was roused even more when T.J. got out the ol’ fishing pole and tried to reel the Marlins in. Many thanks to the Sophomore class for the signs cheering the team on and the bake sale. (Continued to Page 4) )i % Your employment application seems in order, Sir. We’re placing you with our Religion Department. Animal'Entuie. f; Spot leaps desperately to escape electric shock through a shock collar. If he doesn’t jump fast enough, the researcher shocks him by remote control and he rolls and howls in pain. Lady is being electric shocked too. But she is too terrified to leap.- So she suffers the shock in frozen silence. Why is the researcher electric shocking Spot and Lady? Because that’s what he was educated and trained to do. Students at institutions all across the country are receiving the same kind of science education and training. In medical schools. Universities. Colleges. Hospitals. Primate centers. Even in veterinary schools. Students can earn their PhD’s and other academic titles by electric shocking animals and tormenting and injuring them in other ways. Congress authorizes the expenditure of public money to help pay for this education and training in cruelty to animals. Only an aroused citizenry can stop this abuse of animals that has been masquerading as education for more than 50 years. We need your help to inform the public of what is being done to animals in our institutions of higher learning. Please use the coupon below for more information. UNITED ACTION FOR ANIMALS.
