Final exams prove strenuous
but keep Christmas spirit alive

'lhis year the United States Will

be giving the starving people of

Somalia the greatest Christmas
present of all —— a chance at life.
'Ihousands of years ago the people
of our world received a similar gift
of life from an event much smaller
in size. but with more power than
the deployment of 30.000 United
Nations troops —— the birth of Jesus
Christ.

Today. many people seem to for—
get the reason we put up Christmas
trees. exchange presents. sing
songs and gather together fl Santa
Claus is not the only reason.

livery Christmas morning my
family does something very
unique: We have a picnic under the
Christmas tree. Complete with
blanket. food and a bottle of Wine
_- we head under the tree after
opening all of our presents.

Christmas is about family. to-
getherness and partying under the
Christmas tree, and we must never
forget this, yet we can so easily.

While we are away at college it
seems as if the concept and the
spirit of Christmas often are
pushed even farther out of our

'lhink about it for a moment,
How many Christmas carols have
you heard in the past week'.’ How
much time have you devoted to
writing Christmas cards or buying
presents for your friends and fann-
ly'.’ Do you have a tree in your res-
idence hall room‘.’

Now ask yourself how much
time you‘ve spent preparing for
exams or memorizing facts. While
a lot of pressure is being applied to
students by mind-boggling exams
and suicidal crash and burn re-
search papers. take a little time to
relax. gather your senses and enjoy
the holiday season.

liven though we are all spending
obscene amounts of time with our
books, we must take some time off
during our extended study hours to
relax.

every day. Write a Christmas card.
Eat a candy cane.These things may
sound silly. btit they can help.

I have some friends who pasted
pieces of paper that say “Yes“ and
smiley faces all over their rooms as

By balancing our studies and our
social time we can cruise through
exam week much easier.

At Christmas we are also doing

Stumpy trolls make comeback
as popular gifts this Christmas

 

By Catherlne Dressler
Associated Press

 

PITTSBURGH M 'l‘arah l-‘oster
knows what she wants for (‘hrist-
mas, and it‘s not pretty. It‘s one of
those wide-eyed. stumpy dolls with
a big nose, big ears and colorful
hair that stands straight up — a
troll.

“They‘re neat because some of
them are weird. bill in a different
way they‘re cute." said I l-year-old
Tarah.

An ugly but endearing face and a
modest price have made the troll a
megastar in the toy world. where
good looks obviously aren‘t every-
thing.

Toy watchers say nostalgia did
for the troll what movies and tele-
vision cartoons do for toys like
Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles. Trolls were introduced to
the United States about 1960. and
were playthings for children who
are parents today.

In her bedroom in the Pittsburgh
suburb of Plum. 'l‘arah has about
60 trolls. some of them attached to
earrings and hair bands. ller moth-

er, Maria, 36. had a few trolls her-
self as a child.

Retail sales of trolls and troll
paraphernalia could reach about
$700 million this year. toy analysts
estimate. They were the top-selling
toy in the United States this year.
said the trade magazuie Play-
things.

Many trolls sell for under $10,
which means parents can keep
their children happy and stay with-
in their budgets.

Trolls have changed along with
the times. Thirty years ago. their
clothes were simple felt tunics or
loin cloths. Today‘s trolls come in
all shapes and sizes with a variety
of costumes and accessories.

At the Fun Services gift shop in
Monroeville, the shelves are filled
with trolls ranging from 1 inch to 2
feet tall and accessories such as
key chains. magnets. jewelry and
slippers.

Trolls come in all ages. making
them popular with grown-ups, too.
’lherc are baby trolls in diapers.
teen-agers with boom boxes, mid-
dle-age trolls with graying hair and
even elderly trolls.

Trolls also are outfitted for every
sport. nationality and occupation,
including the priesthood. There's
even a male dancer troll with tiny
briefs and a tie.

Trolls got their start in Scanda-
navta where for centuries they
were depicted as wart-nosed. su-
pernatural cave-dwellers in folk-
lore. Danish artist Thomas Dam
carved a friendly-looking troll for
his daughter in the 1950s and even—
tually began manufacturing them.
In the United States in the early
1960s, they became a fad that soon
faded.

No one knows exactly why trolls
took off. but many say their home-
liness is what makes them attrac-
tive.

Shawna Weyant, 34. and her 6-
year-old niece. Brittany (lrubbs.
both of North lluntingdon. share a
love of trolls.

“I collect trolls.“ Weyant said.
“My friends torture me."

Brittany is especially taken by
the troll‘s belly button. “1 have an
outie, and they do. too.“ she said.

 

 

Going home for holidays
doesn’t mean being a slob

Dear Counselor,

In a few days I‘ll be going
back home for Christmas. It
will be good to see my family,
get some rest and eat great food
for a couple of weeks.

There is one problem. My
mother treats me like a child
from the moment I walk in the
door. “Wipe your feet. dear,“
she says, “and hang up your
coat," even before she says.
“Hello."

How can I convince her that
I‘m really a grownup and not a
kid anymore.

Junior from Jersey

The following letter also ap-
peared in my mailbox.

Dear Counselor,

My son will be coming back
home for Christmas this week.
He‘ll drop his laundry in the
hall, turn on the TV ask for
something to eat.

I really don't expect him to
help with holiday activities. but

Giving can hurt — if you’re a poor college student

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

'lhis is the time of year to give.
btrt for the financially strapped col-
lege student. it also is the time of
year to be broke.

Many people love to give Christ-
mas presents even if they do not
have the money to pay for them. A
quick answer for a growing num-
ber of them may be credit cards.

But are credit cards an answer to
budget woes or a hole in which to
fall?

Amy Lorson. a geography sen-
ior, calls her Visa a workable solu-

tion to Christmas shopping on lim-
ited budget. “lt‘s not a very good
solution. but a solution nonethe-
less.“ she said.

Lorson said does not have arty
money. but she feels obligated to
buy her family presents. leaving
her to find a JOb after Christmas to
pay her Visa bill.

Credit cards are easier to use
than to pay off. “Credit cards are a
big trap for students at Christmas
time," said Carol Straits, a senior
research assocrate of the Center for
Business and Economic Research.

Credit cards are good to use if
students are going to be making
money to pay the bills. Straits said.

She added that if students are al-
ready in debt with the cards. they
should tear them tip or send them
back to the companies.

Straits said it ts hard to figure
ltow nttrch money students can
spend on Christmas because of all
the different expenses.

Students probably had more
money to spend in high school
than they do in college. Straus
said.

She said rttarty high school stu-
dertts have part-time jobs. but they
do not have the living expenses
that college students do. so they
can spend all of their earnings on
presents.

Straits said sttrdertts sltottld add
how rtttrch money they have and
how nttrclt money they will make
before Christmas arid subtract or-
dinary expenses. ttrittort and books
arid Itvrng expenses for the sprirtg
semester.

What is left over ts what they
can spertd on Christmas.

“Sometimes stttdertts get into
trouble by spending all of their
money on Christmas presents, and
then. when it‘s ttnte for books or
tuitiort. they have a big problem.“
she said.

Amy (iandolf. a pre-veterenary
sophomore. said she can see her-
self having a problent wrth getting

money to pay for books and tuition
rtext semester because she has been
spending each paycheck she gets
on Christmas presertts.

(iandolf said she started buying
presents in October this year. She
said that makes it easier to get
ntore things for more people.

Straus also has strategies for stu-
dents to consider when Christmas
shopping.

lf people cannot spend as ntuch
money as usual. Straits said. they
should tell people ahead of time so
they can make an agreement to not
exchange gifts or not to spend as

Holiday depression common problem for many adults

 

Staff reports

 

Visions ot‘ sugar cookies baking
in the oven. candles in the win-
dows. a tall evergreen tree decorat-

packages often bring periods ot‘ de-

reasons why people suffer from
holiday depression.

One reason is that the anticipa-
tion of a joyous. bountiful season
is so high that the adult. who feels
responsible for providing this at-
mosphere. cannot find a way to
make it all come true.

“What we think should happen
doesn‘t always happen." Turner
said. “lite weak economy, coupled

International students
celebrate break in states

 

By Li-Chang 5u
Staff Writer

 

While most students long for
('hrts‘tmas break. interttattottal stu-
dents at UK are planning alterna-
tive ways to spettd the three-week
hiattts.

Many International students who
currently are living lll residence
halls contplatn that they will have
no place to stay over the Christmas
break.

(ittdrttn—(‘hristine Schtmpf. a
history graduate student from (ier-
ntatty. said she will overcome this
obstacle by traveling to New ()r-
leans and Florida with other (ier-
ntatt exchange students.

“it Will be my first (‘hristmas
overseas. and i‘m looking forward
to the holidays with no papers and
exams." she said.

Other students will take a more
traditional route. (Tarolyn Holmes.
foreign student adviser in the inter-
ttattonal Student Office. said 15 or
so international students have ap-
plied for the “Christmas interna-
tional House." an ecumenical pro-
gratn coordinated by the
Presbyterian Church. USA.
