4Twas the night after finals, and all on the
Hill,
Not a student was studying, they were
drinking their fill!
Their grades would soon be hung by the
offices with care,
The students had hopes that only A's
would be there.
The professors were nestled all snug in
their beds,
While visions of their break danced in
their heads.
The students were getting rowdy, all
ready for fun,
Yet, they sensed that something had been
left undone.
Why, they wanted their grades, to see
them right then,
So to campus they went, then there came
such a din!
For out in Polk Place there arose such a
clatter,
Professors sprung form their beds to see
what was the matter!
When what to their wondering eyes
should appear,
But thousands of Tarheels, all filled with
good cheer!
More rapid than lightning, the students
they came,
They whistled, they shouted, they called
them by name:
"Now, Armitage! now, King! now, Unks
and Kauffman!
On, Daniels! on, Benavie! on, Reed and
Lowman!
To your buildings you go, by your office
wall,
Dash away, post our grades, go post
them all!"
So all across campus, the teachers, they
flew,
With notebooks full of grades and com
puter sheets, too.
They hurriedly graded and hung up the
marks,
Then ran back to home and waited for
sparks.
And the sparks they flew, the students
were crunched!
Thee was not one A in the whole gosh
darned bunch!
And then who should appear, but the
jolliest of elves,
The students laughed when they saw
him, in spite of themselves.
With wink of his eye, and a twist of his
head,
He let the Heels know they had nothing
to dread!
He spoke not a word, but went straight
to the grades,
He changed all the printouts now it
was A's they had made!
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, to the Carolina sky he
rose,
Then they heard him exclaim as he drove
out of sight,
"Better grades to you all, and to all a
goodnight!"

approaches.
DTH ad staff kidnaps editor
No, no. We're kidding.
That is not a real headline
and this is not the usual
Daily Tar Heel.
You might have reached
this revelation if you no
ticed that there were a few
more advertisements than
normal. No, the DTH is
not giving up on journal
ism. Rather, this is a
special issue, your guide to
holiday shopping around
the Hill.
Take a gander, find that
Christmas special for that
special someone on your
list even if that someone
is you.
Inside, you will also find
plenty of crossword
puzzles and a handy
calendar to keep you
abreast of the goings on
around town right up
through the New Year.
Have a safe and happy
break, and good luck on
exams, even if you do have
three in 36 hours and can't
get them changed.
When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Anonymous
