Show news Departments Sponsor Gifts From Tine Sea5 Tree by Angela Russell Gifts from the Sea was the theme for the Christmas tree Westminster College recently entered in Salt Lake Citys annual Festival of Trees. The tree was sponsored by Campus Ministry with help from the art department. According to Rev. Cheryl Moore, campus chaplain, Its time Westminster became involved in some of the communitys events. Moore approached Kay Kuzminski, art professor, and asked for her help in designing the decorations for the tree. Kuzminski wanted to make fish, thus the theme was established. Kay designed and is responsible for all of the porcelain ornaments, said Moore. Each ornament was handcrafted and hand painted by Kay and her students. The ornaments i ncluded various types of fish, shells, sand dollars and starfish, said Moore. Fittingly, Market Street Broiler bought the tree at the Moore said the Festival of Trees consists of Christmas trees decorated and donated by businesses and individuals. People wishing to enter a tree must pay a registration fee and adhere to certain guidelines. For instance, the trees must be decorated in twelve hours or less with the ornaments securely fastened. According to Moore, there is a dinnerauc-tio- n held where individuals and busineses can bid on the finished trees. The trees remain on display for public viewing for week. They are then distributed to their purchasers. All proceeds from the tree sales and admissions to see the trees go to Primary Childrens Hospital. Moore already has an idea for next years tree. She will start a campaign called Shares in a Gift of Love. Members of the Westminster community wil be able to buy shares in the tree, she said. She would not divulge the theme auction. of the tree. Holiday Cheer Is More Than Beer by Joe Stewart-Mas- h Tis the season to be jolly, especially when finals are over. Ones thoughts turn to celebration and the spreading of good cheer. One way to celebrate is by drinking your Christmas cheer. Of course, this should be done in moderation only, by those of legal age; and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence is taboo. Some timely suggestions for holiday libations follow. You can be traditional and opt for eg g nog (also knows as Tom and Jerrys). This is a heavy egg and cream mixture served hot, spiked with brandy, rum, whiskey or other favored spirit. The quickest way to do this is to use Cream of Weber egg nog in a carton, dilute it with milk and rum, (portion-siz- e is up to you), and heat it in the microwave. Just dont leave it in, too long or youll have holiday custard instead. Add a quick sprinkle of nutmeg and bottoms up. Other hot drinks are hot cider (the harder, the better), hot buttered rums, and Wassail a hot Welsh punch. n One favorite but cold concoction is a poinsettia. This is made with cranberry-raspberr- y juice and good champagne (Andre little-know- Cold Duck is declass). Another is Campari, a ruby red Italian bitter liquor. This can be mixed with tonic or soda according to the label or vodka or gin according to my resident expert. Campari may be hard to find but its rumored that it is available in the state wine stores. A French favorite is kir, made with white wine and creme de cassis liqueur. A Kir Royale is made with champagne rather than wine. This is a cheery red libation. For those who like the basics, vodka and cocktail cranberry juice is a nice which can be even more festive if one adds a dollop of lemonade concentrate and replaces tap water with seltzer. Creme de menthe liqueur over ice is also kind of holiday-lookinYou dont have to drink alcoholic beverages during the holidays but they do tend to give you a nice warm, glowy feeling. Some of the above mentioned beverages taste just fine without the alcoholic contents. Last but not least, the number one holiday beverage is usually consumed the morning(s) after. Our favorite Alka Seltzer, helps you survive until the next round is served. Try it on the rocks for an extra thrill. Whatever your pleasure, moderation and plenty of snacks will help you survive the holiday season. Heres to you. once-a-ye- ' ar g.
