Thursday, December 19, 1963 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Santa Influences Campus; Orange Decor Turns Red Orange Bowl fever has been temporarily replaced fay Christmas spirit. The entire campus looks like Santa's workshop at the North Pole. The once drab hallways of the Women's Residence Halls have been turned into a Christmas wonderland of San ta Clauses, wreaths, angels, holly, and pseudo-snow. To promote Christmas spirit, dormitory coeds have decorated their doors with everything from toilet paper to evergreen boughs. Christ mas trees have sprung up n many rooms, and in a few, cardboard fireplaces lined with crew socks and nylons await Santa's visit. "Christmas inMany Lands" is the Nebraska Union Christmas theme.

Early this week, Johnson decided to spend a full night studying in an effort to do well on tests scheduled for 8 and 9 a.m. the next day. At about 5 a.m., he retired for forty winks. He awoke a short time later, stretched, and began to yawn when snap! His jaw locked. When all efforts to close his mouth were in vain, he vas rushed to student health by his roommate and a friend, but neither the doc tor nor a specially requested oral surgeon were able to re lieve his misery. By this time, muscle spasms had begun in his law, so he was taken to St. Elizabeth's hospital wh e r e anesthetic had to be given to relax his muscles. Only then were doctors able to relieve his locked jaw. bird pinatas. However, the theme is broken by a Christ mas tree with orange bulbs.

Playboy mediates the word of the most high into one section of the consumer world, but it is a word of bondage, not of freedom . . . "The male identity crisis to which Playboy speaks has, at its roots, a deep-set fear of sex, a fear that is uncomfortably c o mbined with fascination. Playboy strives to resolve this antin omy by reducing the terri ble proportions of sexuality, its power and its passion, to a packageable consumption item. "Thus, in PLAYBOY'S iconography, the nude wom an symbolizes total sexual accessibility, but demands nothing from the observer. "You drive it-it doesn't drive you." The terror of sex, which cannot be sepa rated from its ecstasy, !s dissolved But this futile at tempt to reduce the mys terium tremendum of t h e sexua! fails to solve the problem of being a man. For sexuality is the basic form of all human relation ship, and therein lies its ter ror and its power. "Karl Barth has called this basic relational form of man's life Mitmensch, co humanity. This means that becoming fully human, in this case a human male, necessitates not having the other totally exposed to me and my purposes while I remain uncommitted but exposing myself to the risk of encounter with the other by reciprocal self-exposure. The story of man's refusal to be so exposed goes back to the story of Eden and is expressed by man's desire to control the other rather than to be with the other.

The word "Wassail" comes from a highly spiced cider drink traditionally served in conjunction with the Christmas dinner in Old England. Selleck's basement TV lounge was the scene .ofjhe Wassail itself, with the dinner following in the elaborately decorated cafeteria. The meal, served buffet style, featured five kinds of meat and a variety of desserts. To facilitate the feeding of 1,000 persons, the men were divided into five groups and assigned times at which they would attend the Wassail and dinner. Cost of the dinner and Wassail, according to RAM president Gary Pokorny, ran about $500. A great deal of time and planning by RAM Council members and volun teers were responsible for the success of the dinner. fear to be one's self, a lack of the "courage to be." "Thus any theological critique of Playboy that fo cuses on its "lewdness" wuX misfire completel61y. Play boy and its less successful imitators are not "sex magazines" at all. They are basically anti-sexual. They dilute and dissipate authen tic sexuality by reducing it to an accessory, by keeping it at a safe distance. "It is precisely because these magazines are anti sexual that they deserve the most searching kind of theo logical criticism. They fos ter a heretical uoctrine of man, one at radical vari ance with the biblical view. For PLAYBOY'S man, oth ersespecially women are for him. They are his leisure accessories, his playthings. For the Bible, man only be comes fully man by being for the other. "Moralistic criticisms of Playboy fail because its anti-moralism is one of the few places in which Play boy is right. But if Chris tians bear the name of One who was truly man because He was totally for th eother, and if it is in Him that we know who God is and what human life is for, then we must see in Playboy the latest and slickest episode in man's continuing refusal to be fully human."
