Touched by an angel
Monmouth College are sponsoring the angel tree program for another year. This program promotes giving Christmas gifts to less fortunate children. A Christmas tree is usually erected in the lobby of Stockdale Center and decorated with paper angels. Each angel represents a child without a gift. On the back of the angel, information such as the child’s grade or age and gender is written. A person, student or faculty, then selects an angel and purchases an appropriate gift, wraps it and then returns it to the student chaplains. These gifts are then given to the children in need, making their Christmas better.
In the fall of 1999, the student chaplains began the program after they realized that certain neighboring organizations, such as the Warren Achievement Center, were being neglected by other charities. Read More...

Classics Corner: Fitzgerald delivers on our “Great” expectations
I must preface this week’s column by telling you, dear readers, that you will never again see a novel by an American author written about in this column (that is, unless I absolutely run out of things to write about or I’m just in a particularly angry, book-bashing mood one week). Read More...
