By DON MUNDAY
Assistant Campus Editor
Looking for a way to add a special touch to ordinary Christmas cards? How about giving them a special Christmas postcard, perhaps reading "North Pole" or
It's simple. Prepare your Christmas cards normally, addressing and stamping the envelopes. But instead of dumping them into the nearest mailbox, put them inside a large outer envelope addressed to the master of all of the cities listed below
Just make sure you put enough postage on the outer envelope to get it to the parcel carrier. The mails already are flooded with holiday greetings, and these special post offices
Include a note requesting a hand-cancellation of the Christmas cards with your child.
--are bound to be swamped with such requests.
For holiday-sounding names, Christmas, Fla. 32709, and Noel, Mc4845, can be beat. But there's also a North Pole, Alaska 97957; a Holly, Mich. 48442; and a Canaan, Iowa 48116. They can be found in the postmarks of Nichollsville, Ky. 40356 and Santa Claus, Id. 47579.
Or if you'd like postmarks with a more religious motif, try Bethlehem—there's a Bethlehem, Pa. 18016, as well as Bethlehem in Connecticut (06751); Indiana (47104); Kentucky (40007); and New Hampshire (03574). There's also a Nazareth, Pa. 18064, and a Nazareth, Texas 79063.
Carrying the nativity scene a bit further, there's Shepherd, Mich. 48883, Shepherd, Texas 77717, and even a Shepherdsville, Ky. 40156. To extremes, there are Star, Miss. 39167, Star, N.C. 27356, and Angels Camp, Calif. 95222.

By DALE WETZEL Staff Reporter
The English department has a great gift idea for Christmas.
Instead of scratching new stereo records, trying to stuff another pair of socks in the drawer or taxing your overworked, over-examined mind trying to figure out the directions for the Atari Space Invaders, the department recommends purchasing a well-chosen book or two...
After all, bookstores are among the least affected by the last-minute Christmas shopping crush. Crowd restraints are seldom needed around the Shakespeare rack, and Ernest Hemingway qui gets group sessions more than 20 years ago.
