Hold Fast ...
• There are times, in these days, when we are
prone to think that it is a pretty miserable
world we live in. Of course, it isn't as God
intended it to be, and the fault is largely ours
anc, not His.
But it is not the fact that so many millions of
folks the world over, can and do truly wish
and pray for "Peace on Earth,• Good Will to
ward Men," a ray of hope, just as was the Star
that shone over Bethlehem?
So let us hold fast to the promise of that
Star. and say with thankful hearts, this Holy
Christmastide. "God bless us, everyone."
—John H. Frizzell
College Chaplain Emeritus
It's Upon Us
The Christmas Spirit is upon us, in us, all
around us. It will not be denied. It shouts
blantantly from commercial advertisements; it
sings softly from radio speakers; it laughs joy
cusly under evergreen trees and flashes in
colored lights in every town throughout the
nation.
IT WALKS REVERENTLY into the churches,
hastens happily down dark little streets with
baskets for the ,needy, crowds into huge de
partment stores and spends money lavishly.
"A Merry Christmas," it shouts. And echoes
and re-echoes shout "A Merry Christmas" in
answer as they gradually fade into silence,
• yet still ring in one's ears.
The Christmag Spirit is everywhere. It crawls
through crevices stuffed with rags to keep out
the cold in slums and tenement areas; it edges
its way through keyholes and padlocks in the
exclusive residential sections.
HARD HEART, SOFT HEART, indifferent
heart—they all succumb to the wiles of a busy
body Christmas Spirit, and, as was even
Scrooge in Dickens' immortal "Christmas
Carol,' are made the better for it.
• LOVEABLE, LAUGHABLE Christmas Spirit.
Gay, happy, carefree' Christmas Spirit, Spirit
that makes smiles where there were no smiles
before; Spirit that makes this cold, indifferent
world a better place to live in—it is too bad
that your life is so short.
It is terrible that after a few short weeks
you shall find doors closed against you and
cold hearts temaining cold even though you
try your best to warm them. It is too bad
that the poor will be neglected, that smiles
will drop from faces, that envy, greed and
jealousy will take your place in hearts where
you have reigned for such a short while.
Couldn't you, some way, even by bribery or
trickery, make arrangements to stay after the
evergreen and colored lights have come down?
Couldn't you lease the hearts you are now liv
ing in for the rest of the year? Couldn't you
make it an airtight lease so that no one could
break it and happiness and fellowship would be
permanent instead of so. fleeting?
DO YOUR BEST, Christmas Spirit, by fair
means or foul, to make, this a better world.

I love you. Doris.
This classified in yesterday's Collegian caused
no end of trouble for Bob Shorr and Doris
Schiff. Seems that Bob and Doris have been
happily pinned for a year and the classified nas
been a great worry to their friends. So to those
who are wondering—fear not—there are many
more Bobs and Dorises at Penn State than Bob
Short and Doris Sr:hiff.

Those automatic washers recently' installed
in McElwain seem to have many talents, as one
coed recently discovered.
The young lady placed one pair C. bright
fuschia "undies" and 14 pairs of white socks in
the washer. After due time and numerous
automatic processes she opened the washer to
fine she now is the proud owner of one pair
of faded pink "undies" and 14 pairs of bright
pink socks.

As an added feature to the Christmas dinner
a group of waiters sang in the women's dining
commons programs of traditional and popular
Christmas carols.
The- groups were composed of about a dozen
waiters but one group called themselves a
.'quartet" because "only four of us can sing."

TO• THE EDITOR: I would like to go on
record as being one student who wonders why
Penn Staters support a publication like Froth,
yet cannot back a magazine designed to promote
worthwhile literary contributions.

:.Ed. Note: Penn Staters backed Critique.
liteiary magazine which has ceased publics
`ion for reasons too long to place here. In its
!ilie issues, Critique winnowed an inherited
lebt by $5OO. Action , is now being taken by
