As the days become shorter and the
nights become colder, the spirit of the
holiday season is once again here.
Skokians, as in years past, will be
celebrating the holidays of Christmas
and Chanukah.
In Skokie one can observe various
yuletide decorations, such as the
wreaths that line Oakton Street. At the
Old Orchard shopping center, one will
find displays depicting warm and
friendly them es of C hristm as and
Chanukah. Piped-in music adds to the
effect and proves to be very entertain’
ing.
A N O TH ER H IG H L Y decorated
spot in Skokie is the Lincolnwood
Towers area. Located ju st south of
Skokie between Devon and Pratt west
o f ‘"the Edens Expressway, this area
offers colorful and decorative displays.
*■ •*
*
*
AZT
■)&
In-car sightseers are attracted to this
area in great numbers, resulting in
occasional traffic jams.
Some students won’t even be
spending their Christmas’ near Skokie.
They will be skiing, trav elin g to
warmer climates, or visiting distant
relatives or friends.
Aside from the forthcoming twoweek vacation, students should also
stop and realize the meaning involved
in th is holiday season. C hristm as
honors the b irth pf C h rist, and
Chanukah commemorates the war
between the Jews and the SyrianG reeks, and the m iracle of the
Jerusalem temple’s “menorah (candel
abra), burning eight days, instead of
one.
The Nilehilite would like to wish the
students, staff, and administrators a
very fulfilling and happy holiday, and
the best of luck in the coming year.

Commercialism obscures
Christmas’ true meaning
Lamp posts draped with boughs of
holly, store windows arrayed with
ipagiral scenes, and trees donned in
bright, colored lights — these decora
tive sights are all obscured by the rush
holiday shoppers. Even the yuletide
carols don’t drown out the sputtering
of exhaust pipes, the constant rumble
of the El, and the beeping horns of
impatient drivers.
Millions of prospective buyers go to
the downtown shopping area so they
can avoid the hassle of going to
different stores that are far apart. Most
return home with brilliant buys, but
also with tired, aching feet and a
pounding headache.
TH E COUNTDOWN of shopping
days until Christmas turn many hairs
gray and set many people' into frantic
shopping sprees. Buyers must wonder
whether all the pushing and shoving is
worth it. I t probably would not be
unusual to see two ladies bickering over
the last pair of the $1.99 sale gloves in
a department store. Even worse than
the constant elbowing are the long lines
at the cash registers that test one’s
patience tremendously.
Profits rocket sky high for store
owners during th is happy holiday
season. (They probably have the
merriest Christmases of all). Christmas
sales spring up everywhere and
shoppers are vulnerable to even the
slightest markdowns. Although many
people can be seen carrying Saks Fifth
Avenue and Lord and Taylor packages,
they suddenly are transformed into
modem day Scrooges at the sight of a
Red Salvation Army bucket. Hardly a
thought is given to those who barely
own a warm coat or boots for the
winter.
Whatever happened to ‘‘peace on
earth, good will towards men?”
Q U IE T N IG H T S spent before
crackling fireplaces, popping popcorn,
telling Christmas stories, and singing
carols that reflect the joy of this
holiday season should be restored.
Gifts should be exchanged with an
attitude of “giving,” not “receiving in
return”. The true meaning of Christ
mas, the birth of Jesus Christ, is being
forgotten amidst the growing commer
cialization of this holiday.
President Carter merits
support in Iranian crisis
by Paul Toback
On November 4th a group of Iranian
students invaded the United States
E m bassy in Iran . T his group of
students then proceeded to take
hostage all of the workers and officials
who were inside the embassy.
In response, programs to demon
strate American feelings on the Iranian
situation have been started across the
country.
Here in Niles Township, students
from all three high schools, wrote down
their opinions on the Iranian situation.
These papers were collected and were
later made public in a news conference
by the three student governm ent
presidents. Half of the letters were then
sent to the Iranian Consulate in
Chicago while the other half were sent
out to Iran.
GENERALLY, TH E STUDEN TS
supported President Carter and the
steps that he has taken so far to insure
the safety of the hostages.
I t is important to note that these
letters were not intended to result in
the release of the hostages, although it
would be nice if it were that easy to free
them. This program was meant as a
way for students, being the future
leaders of the world, to make their
feelings on important world issues be
known. Hopefully, the p ractice of
students voicing their own opinions will
continue in the future.
The President of the United States,
ahould be supported in all he is doing
to free the hostages. All peaceful
altern ativ es should be tried before
military action is used. However, there
will come a point after which U.S.
government can no longer allow the
current stalemate to continue, and
military intervention will be necessary.
This country must not yield under any
circu m stances to the pressures of
international terrorism. To do so would
sacrifice the integrity of the United
States government and the American
people.

Jan u ary 1, 1980, will m ark the
beginning of a new decade. In the 80’s
present E ast students will leave the
sheltered world of education to enter
the adult world, or the “rat race.” After
they com plete the famed “ Paper

waiting for them?
Most sooths agree that there will be
significantly less waste since there will
be so little to go around. This is
because, as Walter Conkite puts it so
tersely on the C BS Evening News, the
age of abundant cheap fuels is over.
Higher priced fuels not only mean
higher priced unleaded gasoline for
our Buick La Sabre but higher priced
everything', from television sets to
tooth brushes.
UNFORTUNATELY, TH E only two
things Americans listen to are televi
sion sports commentators and their
checkbooks. Americans be prepared to
live less “luxuriously.” Translated into
real terms, no more driving to the
mailbox to mail a letter and no more
prime rib for the pet cat Samantha.

The ultimate threat to us is nuclear

T ea ch er criticizes g u n control story
Dear Editor:
I feel I must take exception to the
article in the 12-7-79 issue of the
Nilehilite entitled ‘’Guns Pose Haz
ards”. I question the judgement of the
editors in allowing such a highly
opinionated viewpoint to be presented
without at least a byline. To present
the fa cts concerning gun control,
espoused by Abner M ikva as
anything b u t opinion is highly
irresponsible. Anyone th a t is even
vaguely familiar with the issue realizes
that Mikva represents only one side of a
many faceted issue.
I must also question the picture that
was printed with the article. What was
the connection between a photograph of
rifles and shotguns and an article on
handguns?

Presidential candidate , Kennedy

by Je ff Leeb
Presidential candidate, Sen
ator Edward Kennedy, spoke
before the Chicago Foreign
Relations Council on December
10 at the Pick Congress Hotel
as p art of a “ m eet the
candidate series”.
Kennedy’s “American Secu
r it y ” address began as he
tripped and fell in the likeness
of Gerald Ford coming up
several stairs to the stage. The
stum ble was sym bolic of
Kennedy’s recen t falterin g
campaign.
A FT E R A LONG introduc
tion, Kennedy came to the
podium and commented on
future foreign relations propo
sals of other candidates. “I
understand that Ronald Rea
gan who speaks to the council
proposes that the U.S. recog
nize the ‘Holy Roman Empire’,
and Jerry Brown will propose
that the U.S. recognize the
planet Jupiter, and President
Carter will announce a new era
of Detente between Washing
ton and Chicago.”
Kennedy then spoke briefly
about Iran . “ W hatever the
grievances against the Shah
and his regime, there is no
justification for terrorist ac
tions and outlaw conduct.” He
went on to say that we must
be determined to protect our
diplomats and never to submit
to blackmail
In general, Kennedy avoided
talking and answering ques
tions about Iran because of
recent criticism of his state
ments about the Shah.

that we will be weak as long as

Santa visits Skokie
Santa Claus is more' than
ju st a mythical, jolly, old man
who brings gifts and fantasy
to children on Christmas Eve.
He is also a department store
promoter at Marshall Field’s
in Old Orchard.
As usual this has been a
busy year for the Santa. “Not
quite as busy as years in the
past but that’s because there
are more m alls and more

Santa.
Many children still believe
that Santa flies through the air
in a sleigh pulled by eight
reindeer, and slides down the
chimney.
SANTA R E C E IV E S many
requests for Christmas pre
sents. Most children ask for
toys but there are unusual
requests, such as asking for a
brother, sister, and sometimes
even a parent. The m ost
touching request Santa has
received was from a fifteen
year old blind girl. S an ta
asked her what she wanted for
Christmas and she answered
by saying, “Sight.” Santa’s
reply was that the Lord works
in mysterious ways and that
she should try to understand
these ways.
Santa’s Christmas wish this
year is for good health and
peace on earth. Santa would
also like to wish everyone a
very Merry Christmas.

new M X missile system, and
warned of a heavy So viet
military buildup. He explained
that he was in favor of Salt II,
and said we should update our
weapons.
In addition to this, he feels
that we must train our forces
better. “Many pilots fire one
live missile at a target every
two years.” Along with this he
explained th a t we are n ot
ready for attack. “ On any
given day, one-third to one
half of our ships and planes
are not ready for battle.”
Kennedy’s opinion is that
we need q u an tity in arm s
instead of tremendous quality
by not “gold plating every
tank, plane, and ship.” He
proposed more incentives so
more men and women will
enlist in the armed forces.
H E WENT ON to express
his support for Israel, and said
that the security of Israel is
“indispensable to the security
of the U .S.” He also added
that U.S. should not openly or
¡secretly deal with the P.L.O.
For the first time, Kennedy
proposed an energy alliance
that would be like that of
NATO, and would “ assure
that never again will America
and its allies become victims.”
The alliance would help 44

submitted questions were se

was in favor of a Federal

asked if he was in favor of the

On energy, he feels we
