A blast from the past By Julie Hofler Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Break out your dancing shoes and your medieval garb (if you happen to have any). Tonight the new Students for Creative Anachronism will be holding their second Medieval and Renaissance dance at Newcomb Ballroom from 8 to 11. No experience or partner is necessary, and dances ranging from English Country to Italian Renaissance will be taught by David Oxford, the dance master of the Shire of Isenfir, the local SCA chapter. The SCA was reinstated last semester at the University and is a branch of the international Society for Creative Anachronism, an organization devoted to researching and re-enacting pre-17th century European history.

'Tis better to give than to receive

Even with Christmas and Winter Break just around the corner, it's hard to believe the trials of finals and research papers will ever end. The significance of the holiday season is the farthest thing from the minds of many students and faculty as they grade exams, touch up final papers and scribble in blue books in three-hour increments before sitting back to a much-needed month-long break. But for many students it's important to take the time to reflect upon the season's true meaning during the post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas bustle when it's easy to lose sight of those who are far less-fortunate. That's why the University's Madison House provides students with the opportunity to participate in its Holiday Sharing program each year.
