MERRY misms auter HAPPY NEW YEAQ UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 1 VOL. XXXII 8, 1958 No. 7 Future Jockeys Ride Air Waves On Union's KVUC by Arthur Hauck Elbowing its way into a small frequency niche on the crowded broadcast band, station KVUC adds its friendly carrier-current radio voice to the Union College campus. Used primarily as a train- ing media for Fundamentals of Broadcasting class as well as spe- cial projects in other speech courses, KVUC features an assort- ment of weekly student programs. Among the ministerial students providing the Sunday morning de- votional, "Chapel Time," are Mar- vin Moore, Norman Wagness, Hel- ton Fisher and Lewis Anderson. Stella Ramirez is the regular •"Browsing Time" hostess, chatting about books and things in and around the library. "Parley Sie Espanol" each week introduces a variety of material in French, German, or Spanish. This program is beamed toward the students who are taking these lan- guages. Recent contributors were Jean Pierre Lanares and Erwin Garcia, reading some of their fav- orite French and Spanish poetry. Inspirational spots, interviews, notes from the KVUC scrapbook, and fifteen-minute variety pro- grams are some of the features produced by the Speech Funda- mental classes. A slight southern accent with an occasional "Now then," identifies Betty Bell, pro- gram director and "sometimes" announcer and disk jockey, (cont. page 3, col. 4) Z)lie President'* Me33ag,e The Christmas spirit is abundantly in evidence on the Union College campus. The beau- tifully lighted Christmas tree on the campus, the decorations in the windows of the dormi- tories, the holly on the counters, the tree in the dining hall, the Christmas bell on the doors of shops and offices, and, yes, the many expressions of joy on the faces of students and teachers in anticipation of vacation—all are reminders of the spirit of Christmas. It is fitting that we thus give expression at Christmas time. This is only one phase of Christmas, however. This is the tangible expression, but what about the intangible spirit of Christmas—that which lies within the heart of the Christian? It is right that we should give gifts, but are we also giving to others tha t which lies within our hearts—a friendly smile, a radiant look, a spontaneous good deed, a positive attitude, a genuine love, an encouraging word, and a multitude of other intangibles which mean so much to others? These represent the real spirit of the Christ whom we honor this time of year. There is another phase of Christmas to which we can give expression. This is the spirit of appreciation and thanksgiving—appreciation for the Gift of Jesus, appreciation for our homes, for a Christian college, for the church, for our parents. I think particularly of the latter. What a wonderful opportunity to express appreciation to our fathers and mothers as we visit with them during this Christmas vacation. What a joy and satisfaction will come to them as we share with them an appreciation for that which they have done for us. This is one of the greatest gifts we can give this Christmas season. In behalf of Union 'College, we wish you all that is good and pleasant during this Christ- mas season May the Spirit of Christ take on new meaning as you reflect upon Him during these joyous days ahead. D * Bieber> President Miss Smith Recovers From Foot Surgery Floda V. Smith, Union College librarian, received minor bone surgery on her foot November 21. "To have part of your bone re- moved under a 'local' is quite an experience," exclaims the librari- an. "It certainly gives you a lot more to talk about to your friends." Although Miss Gertrude Huyg- ens is doing an excellent job at keeping the library going smooth- ly, the library staff (including Miss Huygens) will be happy when Miss Smith will again be on her feet and walking the halls of the li- brary. Christmas At Home and Away From Home ....HJ1.IM W^lbMll U..U COll*Ue: home in the Rees Hall lobby. a KOUO aecorate their tree Maria Archuleta When asked about Christmas customs in her home country, Tina Garbutt said, "The trouble is, where is my home?" Tina is Union's "girl without a country." Although she has traveled exten- sively throughout Central Amer- ica, she has never spent more than seven years in any one country, and has not decided which one she should call home. Santa Claus doesn't bring the children's Christmas gifts in Costa Rica, Tina said. It is the Christ Chilli who makes the yearly rounds of the homes and leaves gifts for the little ones after they have gone to bed. A free-for-all bullfight is an- other feature of Christmas festiv- ities in this Central American country. Anyone who cares to may try his luck with the bull. Also, a field outside the city Is set apart for small booths where the peo- ple may visit and do their Christ- mas shopping. These activities are really to celebrate the annual "Fiestas Civicas" as well as to commemorate Christmas. In the Philippines, Christmas is celebrated with home-made fire- works of hollow bamboo sticks filled with gunpowder or kerosene and set on fire. It is also a day for gay family reunions. When the children arrive at the homes of their relatives, they kiss the hands of their elders and receive gifts from them. Other gifts are not ex- changed until midnight. This year Consuelo Roda, our student from the Philippines, will miss the tinupig, a special cookie made on some of the islands. This cookie is made of rice flour and is filled with sugar and coconut; then it is wrapped in coconut or banana leaves and baked in a charcoal fire. This will be Consuelo's first Christmas in the United States, but she said that she expects it to be much as in Manila, which has become a highly Americanized city.

ATS Sends Cards To Business Men Being aware of the Christmas season, which should be the cele- bration of the birth of Christ, the ATS is working to make Lincoln "drier" during this holiday season. The chapter is sending Christmas cards to businessmen in Lincoln who employ twenty or more peo- ple. The purpose of the card, which carries the following mes- sage, is to encourage the spirit of "Christmas for Christ": By fastening a truer Christmas spirit, not serving alcoholic beverages at your office or business parties. By giving only "non-alcoholic" Christmas presents. By contributing to greater holi- day highway safety, discouraging drinking while driving. Make Christmas a sacred holi- day, not an alcoholiday. ^ The cjafd; .mre; originated- by-Ar- thur Hauck, %,. Kr.-Tobiassen, Ted Wick and Dwight Wilson.
