The holiday season is a time of giving, and six campus organizations have a gift for you. The groups were chosen because their goals fall somewhat outside mainstream campus interests. Each hypothetical gift — either given or received — embodies the missions of these groups.
Neither East Nor West is an organization created in the summer as a branch of a larger organization begin in the summer, known as the Group to Establish Trust between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. (Trust Group). Our branch decided to pursue three objectives in promoting peace between the two superpowers. The first is to support anti-nuclear weapons demonstrations in the U.S.S.R.; second, to aid in the release of Soviet political prisoners; and finally, and perhaps most important, to establish grass roots connections between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
development of language skills and for enjoyment. Even those without a knowledge of the classical languages were able to participate in the reading through the use of translations.
The experience was found in 1986 to share that the Gymnosophistae was formed in 1986 to reward this experience with the University community and to make a wider variety of opportunities available to participants.
A gift that would represent the group's goals would be the Loeb Classical Library — a collection of approximately 300 books, roughly half of them Greek half Latin, 300 books, roughly half of them English on the left and an English translation on the right. Such a gift would help the group to accomplish its goal of promoting the reading and study of Greek and Latin literature, in the original literature and in Latin translation.

Calas begins to peek over the horizon, shredding light over the sea onto your group. You had forgotten to take the moon into consideration when you plotting your attempt on the ship to the second moon. Solas, begins to rise, its face seemed to the monkey you adds more light to the night with the as close on your heels, you remember the old man and the supposed prophecy he had spoken of. You run around only to be knocked off your foot as he runs into you. Too late! Down at the shore, the traitor makes his horn on his lips and blows a high clear note.
You are into adventure, then the Dungeons and Dragons Club is for you. Even if you haven't ever played Dungeons and Dragons, we still invite you to come and give it a try. This is what we would want for a holiday gift, if we could double the size of our club next semester, it would be the best gift we could receive. Next semester, we are starting a full club campaign. Every group involved in the club is going to be in a different world. We have been preparing for this all so we can be very fun. Release the message of our club today.

Group members were told they could pick any gift at any price. Their ideas were tied to a costly European tour, which was selected by Students for Creative Anachronism, to a longer membership roster, the request of Dungeons and Dragons. One club, the Transcendent Meditation Club, chose a gift without a price tag. Instead, members ask that every person have perfect inner bliss, symbolized by a blooming tree
