The world was shocked today at the
disclosure that drug enforcement
officials uncovered an estimated 6 tons
of marijuana during a raid on the North
Pole   Santa Claus and his elves have
been taken into custody over the matter.
Reaction around the world was one of
dismay at learning that Santa Claus,
alias Kris Kringle and Ole St. Nick, had
been involved in the distribution of illicit
drugs. Drug enforcement officials said
that evidence indicated Claus was not
part of a smuggling ring, but rather the

drug operation was of his own devise.
In an interview with reporters after
his arrest, Claus explained the reason
for the cache of marijuana. "Marijuana
had become so popular on the wish lists
I was receiving, I figured if so many
people wanted it I might as well give it
\to them," Claus remarked jovially.
"Heck, all I was trying to do was spread
a little 'goodcheer.'"
Clause said the wish lists he received
asking for pot not only came from the
usual group of teenagers, rock stars
and the like, but also from lawyers,
doctors and politicians. Since marijuana,
in Claus' eyes had become so accepted
and he saw no harm in using it, he
decided to add it to his list of  gifts
"I started using pot years and years
ago," Claus confessed. "I mean it can
get really boring stuck up in the North
Pole with nothing but a bunch of midget
elves running around. Smoking pot helps
pass the time." Claus also said he had
used pot while on his trips around the
world on Christmas Eve.
"Once you've been around the world
a few times the trip can get really
boring I found, though, that if I got a
little loaded the journey was much more
bearable. I also have a stereo tape deck
in the sleigh and can listen to my favorite
Montavani tapes," Claus said.
'The pot helps out the reindeer, too,"
Claus added "I think it helps them fly
a little higher. In fact, I was thinking of
changing Rudolph's name from the red

nosed reindeer to the red eyed rein-
In the raid, drug enforcement officials
found a giant green house filled with
budding marijuana plants with an esti¬
mated weight of 6 tons. Officials said the
plants were kept in perfect condition
by the elves at the Pole.
Reaction from the people of the world
was one of shock. President Carter said
he was deeply disheartened to hear of
the raid. He thought "maliase" and a
preoccupation with materialism were
responsible for Claus' resorting to
drug use.
Claus being taken into custody has
raised the possibility of him not being
able to deliver gifts Christmas Eve,
leaving millions of children around the"
world presentless on Christmas Day.
Some politicians have called for a stiff
prison sentence for Claus, stating that
he is a "deleterious influence on the
children of the world."
Others, however, felt Claus was harm¬
less and should be set free.
Questions of jurisdiction over Claus
have been raised, also, since he does
not live in the U.S.

Handmade Christmas gifts more personal, less expensive
Store bought Christmas gifts are fine
if you can afford them. If you can't, you
and the receiver of your gift might be
better off. Handmade, personalized gifts
can make the gift giving and receiving
much more meaningful, and a lot less
painful to the pocket.
Joyce Aiken, Professor of Art and the
author of several craft books, has ideas
for the making. Fabrics range in price,
quality, texture and pattern and fabric
gift possibilities are just as varied.
Felt, which is very inexpensive, can be
turned into fluffy, colorful banners or
wall hangings. If you want to make a
Noel banner, just form your letters free
hand, cut them out and glue them onto
another colored piece of felt. Then cut
around the outside shape that the letters
have formed, and glue it to a larger piece
of felt again. Add felt holly leaves or
whatever you want to further alter the
shape of the design. Again cut around
the outside* of the new pattern, and
you've got a new shape to work with.
Continue adding and cutting and soon
you'll have a layer of felt designs sur¬
rounding the original letters. Aiken says
the effect is great, and you can personal¬
ize the gift by using the person's name
or favorite expression.
Soft  jewelry  is  another  fabric   gift
which goes a  long way.  Little satin.

and it's gratifying to see tliem pull
together. Not all campuses have that:
I'm glad to see that Fresno State does."
Frank first became involved with IVCF
while a student at Chico State, where
the fact they trusted him enough to lead
a Bible study made quite an impression.
After a few unhappy years as a voca¬
tional education teacher, he decided to
apply for - and got -- a position on the
Inter-Varsity staff.
The position at Chico was recently
vacated, and Frank, his wife Shirley, and
their four children will move up there
shortly. The area is home for Frank, who
grew up in the area. He hates to leave,
'but I feel that after a while
stagnate if we stay at the same place.
I regret leaving, but I'm looking forward
to a new challenge.*
Topless dancers
gant, but the building itself is real nice,'
Robin said. There is a large dance floor -
that three or four of them share. They
pick their own music and dance three
songs at a stretch. "It's great, I have a
lot of fun,' Robin said. 'I could do this
for a longtime.'

stuffed hearts, with a tiny piece of ribbon
on a rat tail satin cord make a nice gift.
Bracelets can also be made from fabric
and stuffing.
Tote bags from the pattern of an origi¬
nal brown paper bag, are handy and
simple to make. Just open a bag (size of
your choice) flat, cut the fabric to fit the
pattern, sew up the seams and make a
handle. Aiken's, 'The Total Tote Bag-
has other tote ideas and is available at
the library.
The presentation of the gift is an im¬
portant part of the gift giving, Aiken
said. She recommends makingiabric gift
bags with a simple drawstring top, in¬
stead of the regular paper gift wrap.
Kites can also be made" from light¬
weight fabrics and are more durable
than paper kites. The frames can be
handmade from bamboo, or a light flex¬
ible wood, or they can be purchased at
hobby shops. Aiken recommends Bob's
Hobby Shop in the Fig Garden Village.
The fabric or paper can be painted and
personalized. Kite books are also avail¬
able in the library.
Yarn has about as much idea mileage
as fabric does. Besides knitted and cro¬
cheted gifts, you can make all kinds of
colorful coiled baskets and creative wall
hangings. Basket coiling is not a compli¬
cated process, but a library book would
help to get you started. You will need a
sturdy cord -- jute or clothesline -- for the
foundation. You begin by forming a tight
circle with the cord and progressively
wrap it with heavy duty yarn, sewing the
layers together with a needle as you
work. You can begin with a set colored
pattern or just let a design happen as you
go along. They are useful and decora-
shops and are relatively inexpensive. Or
you could use cardboard or an old picture-
frame as a loom. A book would help
Four cups of flour, a cup of salt and
lots of warm water is a simple recipe for
a variety of gifts made from bakers
dough. You can make tree ornaments or
more complicated sculptures like a fruit
bowl depending on your artistic inclina¬
tion. Again, to the library.
Snapshots and photos are about as
personal as you can get with a gift, and
wood can help make them come alive. A
decorative handmade wooden frame is
one simple idea. And wooden cubes,
stacked and stained in a free form with
pictures glued to the cube fronts is ano¬
ther possibility. Wood purchased at a
lumber yard is your best bet.
Virtually anything you stumble on has
the creative potential for a great gift.
Rocks and shells hand painted and per¬
sonalized, magazine pictures arranged
in a collage on poster board or wood,
strips of plastic or thin wood painted and
tassled for bookmarks - just let your
imagination go. These days you can go a
lot further on a thought than a dollar.
And, 'It's the thought that counts.'
