Thursday, December 4, 1969 3 Adams discovers Santa By BARBARA PARNESS State News Staff Writer "Yes Walter, there is a Santa Claus," the board of trustees told Acting President Adams Oct 17. "On Oct. 17 when the board of trustees elected Clifton R. Wharton Jr. to take office on Jan. 2, 1970, 1 came to believe that there is a Santa Claus." Adams quipped. Despite his sudden discovery of the fat man in the red suit, Christmas for MSU's departing chief administrator will be about the same as it has been for the past few years. "1 want you to know that 1 am on duty 24 hours a day. 365 days a year." he explained. "But what I usually do on Christmas is put my finishing touches on the papers 1 deliver to a professional economics meeting occuring between Christmas and New Year's. This Christmas the Adamses will be spending the holidays in New York City, the site of the annual economics convention Adams attends. But the burden of the meetings will be lightened by visits with relatives living in New York. Mrs. Adams instructor of American Thought and Language, said her family has no traditional Christmas holiday activities because her husband always goes to the economics convention, held in a different city each year. "Usually I don't even attend the meetings with him," she said. Adams said he will "certainly" be back from New York by Jan. 1 so he can watch the Rosebowl at home. He added that he has not received an invitation from University of Michigan President Robben "I will this use holiday to celebrate not what has Flemming to view the game from the stands in been, but what is about to be," he said. California. After Jan. 2 Adams will return to his former "New Year's Eve," Adams continued, "we have position as professor of economics. But, he said, his traditionally had a spirited celebration at our home, renewed and intensified concern with economics will but this year we shall skip it in order to begin to not affect his attitude toward the Christmas season. recover from our mass exposure to people." "A cynic would view Christmas as a grand Having spent eight months in what many would commercial conspiracy to stimulate consumption and consider the most demanding job in the University, create employment," Adams said. "But I'm Adams admitted that Christmas will have a "special" sentimental, so I say it's good for people to relax significance for him this year. periodically." After weathering a Placement Bureau takeover, the The chief executive's office in the John A. Hannah Wilson Hall cafeteria takeover, SDS picketing, Administration Bldg. will not be the site of a October moratorium activities and anti ROTC rallies, Christmas party, as far as Adams is concerned. the outgoing president said he will spend the holidays 'it's not a lack of sentiment," he said. "It's just thinking about the future. fatigue." Nor will the office be decorated with the traditional symbol of the holidays - the decorated Christmas tree. "1 couldn't justify that expenditure on the tight budget around here," he said. "But the spirit will be here even if the material symbols are not," he added. Perhaps the one object that has come to symbolize the Adams presidency most is the cigar. But, Adams said, in the past he has not been the recipient of many cigars as Christmas gifts. "Occasionally I will say that my mother-in-law does give me a box of cigars," he added. "But I suspect ulterior motives - she's trying to poison my system." While Adams is in New York, MSU's president-designate Wharton and his family will be spending their first Christmas in East Lansing. We're planning on being at the University ofr the holidays," Mrs. Wharton said. Christmas in a new place will not be unique for the family, who have in the past celebrated the holiday wherever Wharton's work took him. "We've had wonderful winter Christmases and wonderful Christmases in places like Southeast Asia," Mrs. Wharton said. She remembers one Christmas spent in a warm climate when she had to improvise and create a Christmas tree from big plastic umbrellas. Mrs. Wharton said she would hesitate to name special family holiday traditions because she's "not sure if we have any." "It's very difficult to say if we have any special traditions because the things we accept as usual, others might think unusual," she explained. 4 Michigan State News, East Lansing, Michigan \ Thurs., Fri., & Sat.

Instruments and Diamond optical devices at the planetarium will reproduce the sky at the time of the first Christmas and dramatize audience which events have for the been Christmas suggested as possible explanations of the Christmas star. Of the four explanations offered, most scientists agree that the first three are unlikely. If the star were a brilliant meteor or a ''shooting star," is would have lasted only a few seconds and disappeared too quickly to be followed. It is not likely the star was a comet, for records of comets coming close to the time of the sighting of the Star of Bethlehem are either too early or too late to have been mistaken as the star. According to Leron W. Cobia, planetarium specialist, among those who want a scientific explanation for the Star of Bethlehem, the most accepted explanation is that of a triple conjunction. Predicting backwards in time, it seems likely that Jupiter and Saturn came together three times near the time of the birth of Christ. The Planetarium takes quotations from the New Testament and tries to explain them.
