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. The Crib is

Study Leads
To Accident
Many students who feel
that the rush and hustle of
the holiday season presents
more problems than they
can cope with, should con
sider the fate of Dave John
son, Selleck Quad freshman
in Arts and Sciences.
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.

theme is broken by a Christ

trees. And what house would
be without mistletoe?
Other not-so-traditional
Christmas decor adorns many
coeds. Silver glitter hairdos
appear at almost every
Christmas party. In a few in
stances, girls have dyed their
hair green in honor of the
season.

"The Playboy Advisor"
"You goofed." . . . 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. It is basically the

Selleck Quad's Residents
Celebrate Yule At Wassail
Residents of Selleck Quadrangle last night celebrated
the holiday season in old English fashion at the third an
nual Wassail Dinner, sponsored by the Residence Associa
tion for Men (RAM).
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.

of the "courage to be."
"Thus any theological

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

For PLAYBOY'S man, oth

for him. They are his leisure
accessories, his playthings.
For the Bible, man only be

"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."
