Help make Christmas
a reality for a child
BY REX HAMMOCK
A bus pulls up to the Pittman
Circle entrance of the student
center. Out into the crisp
December air streams fifty of the
most beautiful kids in the world.
Each four-to-ten-year-old is
greeted by a Samford couple who
spend the day with them booing
the coyote on a Roadrunner
cartoon, chasing a frisbee all
over campus, pulling on Santa’s
beard, and getting the best
Christmas present of all, love.
It's all part of Christmas for
Child sponsored each year by
Campus Ministries. Couples
become a part of the fun by
signing up at the Campus
Ministries office by November 25.
Hie couple will spend Saturday
December 6 from 10 a.m. till 3
p.m. being parents to an un-
derpriviledged youngster from
the Birmingham area.
The day ends with a big
Christmas party at which the
children receive presents from
their adopted parents and are
entertained by several Samford
talents.
It's kind of sad for both parents
and children when its time for the
kids to pile back on to the bus, but
both are thankful for a great day
spent together.

What has the S.G.A. done in the
past few weeks and months? In
recent days the major complaint
is that the S.G.A. doesn't do
anything or at least, anything
that anyone can see. To help
combat this “lack of com¬
munication" we have compiled a
short list of things that your
S.G.A. and Student Senate have
accomplished.
1) There are red and blue
bulletin boards posted in every
building on campus which have
the Student Senate minutes, the
S.GA.-1.C.B., and the Calendar
of Events for the week on them ;
2) there are temporary clocks
in the eating area of the
cafeteria;
3) some of the speed breakers
have been removed on the west
side of the campus;
4) a definite study day before
final exams has been scheduled;
5) the use of Beeson Hall for
study has been approved;
^6) the new S.G.A. -I.C.B. gives a
brief overview of the coming
week’s activities;
7) Saturday check-cashing for
Samford students at the Brook-
wood Central Bank drive-in
window;
8) IDs for spouses of married
Samford students have been
approved;
Э)
parking for students has
been under consideration for
suggestions;
10) activity cards are being
sold;
11) Vice-Presidential com¬
mittees meet to give members of
the President’s Cabinet student
input;
12) scholarships are awarded
from funds made from Step-Sing;
and these are in addition to
regular events and functions such
as Step-Sing, recent movies on
campus, concerts, band parties
and some pageants.
