Evidence Shows Christmas in March
Christ was probably not born Dec. 25, according to evidence given by Richard Juday, of the Kansas City Christian fellowship recently.
"The Roman government would not have required its citizens to make a journey to their home community in the dead of winter, and no shepherd would have been out on the hillsides at that time of year. From the last of October to the beginning, of the rainy season their sheep were kept in the villages," he said.
He believes that Christ was born sometime after the beginning of the rainy season, probably in March.

Phi Beta Kappa, 2.9 grade-point average, Sachem, Forums board chairman-add these to a long list of other undergraduate honors and you have H. L. "Larry" Miller, the University's first Rhodes scholar in 13 years.
Miller is the ninth graduate of the University to win this honor since Cecil Rhodes, British internationalist and statesman, established the scholarships in 1902. Thirty-two scholarships are awarded each year to students in the United States. This year 16 additional scholarships were given because no awards were made during World War II.
Miller is a 22-year-old graduate student and part-time instructor in economics. He received his bachelor's degree in economics last year and will receive his master's degree in June. He is now writing his thesis, on central banking and the problems of inflation. ty-two scholarships are awarded each year to students in the United
Mrs. Miller is naturally proud of her husband's scholastic achievements. Larry in turn can be proud of Mrs. Miller. She is also a Phi Beta Kappa, and is now a Western Civilization proctor. She majored in political science and was graduated with a 2.6 grade-point average.
"I understand there is a housing shortage and I will not be allowed to take my wife along unless I find a place before we leave. I'm afraid it is going to be difficult since we don't know anyone over there," Larry said. She's Proud of Larry
An army veteran with $1/2 years service. Larry is eligible to receive veterans benefits under the G.L. bill but he does not plan to use them. The Rhodes fund will pay him $2,000 a year for two years with a third year possible with good records. He will study philosophy, politics, and economics.
With his wife, the former Sarah Marks, '45. Larry plans to leave for England in October. Right now his big problem is finding a place to live in war-damaged England.
Third Miller to Win Honor
"I'm sorry they are not relatives. It would have made a nice story for you." Larry replied when asked about the other Millers.
Miller seems to be a popular name with the scholarship fund. Larry is the third Miller from the University to win the honor. L. R. Miller was chosen in 1916 and Ray Miller in 1934.
"I'm not sure what I will do after I finish at Oxford, but I think I would like to teach, at least part-time," he said.
