DEAR SA^TA: I’ve heard from some very reliable sources that there are some special things that some of Wesleyan’s professors and staff members would like for Christmas. They’ve all been good boys and girls, so I hope you will bring them what they want. All Jack Weimer wants for Christmas is his two front teeth. I know that the elves up there at the North Pole make a lot of things out of wood, but I think Jack would rather have his teech made out of something other than wood. I’ve heard the David Ketchiff would like “standing room only” tickets for the next concert in Raleigh. Please bring Dr. Willhite a permanent “throne” at Tarrytown Mall so he can watch the crazy people go by. Maybe you could bring him a note book too, so he can take notes on all the activitives. I think it would be nice if you could bring Daisy Thorp a case of “while you were out” memo pads. David Jones would like a Mr. Microphone. “Hop-a-long” Phyllis Gitlin would like an audition for the part of “Chester” in the remake of “Gunsmoke.” Please try to set this up for her. Please bring Dave Smith a set of a dozen custom designed Carolina Blue Widgets. This would make him very happy. Please bring Moe Baeur some clay pigeons that shoot back-the pigeons have rights too, you know. But bring him a bullet-proof vest too, so he won’t get hurt. I’ve heard that Terry Smith would like an extra-wide necktie with an Edgar Allen Poe motif, as Poe is one of his favorite poets. Please bring Linda Flowers $12, to add to her grant so she will have an even $35,000. Mike McCully would like a Jack Lalane body building set so he can intimidate his students when necessary. Please bring Steve Jackabowski an album of classical banjo music from K- Tel. Colonel Wiltrakis would like some T.V. Magic Cards to add to his bag of tricks. Please put a copy of the Preppy Handbook in Paul deGategno’s stocking-or get publication rights for him for “FANBOYS.” For Frances (acting dean) Harrison the return of the incredible Hoick is all she needs. Please bring Donna Starling a step ladder (only if she promises to share it with Rex Tucker). Bring Fred Heavyside a Richard Simmons cook book. Not only would this be nice for him, but it would also be nice for all of the students at Wesleyan. Please bring Martie Smith a rewrite of the New Testament, starring Jessica Christy- Hubba, hubba. Bring Steve Smith a book on the philosophy of Bathroom Graffiti. All Phil Prager would like is a ski resort in Castallia. Please bring Tony Cellucci an entry form for the Arnold Schwarzinager look-alike contest. Please bring Allan Johnson a May Term seeing the sights in Antarctica. Ken Finney would like the directorship of the Spiro T. Agnew Library soon to be erected at N. C. Wesleyan College. Corbit Rushing would like a recount of the 1980 Presidential election. Please see what you can do for him. Ray Kirkland would like to have a Swiss Bank account.
