I need you. Come on, cooperate with me. Darn car, a little cold weather and I just can't count on her. Mom will not permit you to drive anywhere on a cold day without running through a checklist of things you should have in your car. "Now do you have a blanket in the trunk, jumper cables, anti-freeze for the gas line, some sand, boots, a warmer jacket than that little lightweight jacket you have on now, cross-country skis in case you have to get somewhere when the car gets stranded, a cord of wood to start a fire, matches and a case of chocolate bars for energy?1* "Mom, I'm just running to the store two blocks away. And if I was going anywhere else I would need a trailer." mmx.

If you say something along those lines to your mother her reponse will be, "Fine, go ahead and make fun, but when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere and get frostbite and die, tell God when you get to heaven that I did everything within a mother's power to prevent this from happening." Another fun thing about driving the car when it is this cold is trying to listen to a tape. The stereo is so cold every tape sounds like something your parents might listen to. The tempo will also change when you push on the accelerator. Another thing that comes with this cold weather, which is worse, is how your body is affected when you are outside. When walking into the Fargo-Moorhead wonder wind, which blows at you whichever way you walk and always blows the opposite way you part your hair, your eyes begin to tear. This is fine except that the moisture freezes to your lashes and when you enter a warm building it looks to everyone else like you are crying. This problem is even worse for women because as their lashes thaw, their mascara begins to run. The nose is another problem area during these frigid days of winter. Isn't it fun to get outside EXTRA LARGE BIG V STYLE SINGLE ITEM PIZZA Yours For Includes free delivery at all Godfather's locations. 804 30th Ave. S. Moorhead, MN $650 Expires Jan. 29, 1988 236-6020 and have your nostrils freeze together? Then you go inside where it is warm, and when the nose starts to thaw out you need either a bucket for drippings or two boxes of Kleenex so you don't drive some poor soul insane with your constant sniffling. I went to the airport to pick up a friend who was returning to school from Christmas break. She was coming in from Denver, the place where a flight never leaves or arrives on time. Anyway, she told me that while she was in the airport a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, "I don't know if you want to hear this, but the temperature in Fargo is ten below with a 50 degree below zero windchill factor. We have a flight leaving for Hawaii at the same time for those of you who would like to exchange your tickets." My friend said she seriously thought about changing the ticket she was holding. If there is one thing a winter in the arctic north does, it builds character. We learn to deal with .frozen nose hairs and cars that don't run. In these situations, we call the travel .agent and book the next flight to Cancun. 3501 SOUTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE ADMISSIONS: Evtnings Matintcs Uandup $4.00 S2.50 I2anduntftr S2.25 $2.00 "THE COUCH TRIP' R Evenings 7 15 9 15 Sat Sun Matinee I 15 3 15 "PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES" Evenings 7 15 9 15 Sat Sun Malmee 1 15 3 15 "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

"Anyone can come and do research to learn the early traditions of Concordia," said Hoverson. Anderson said there are creative, funny and unique topics available to imaginative paper and speech researchers. Students' references for these pro-jects can be found in old Concor-dians dating back to the 1920s. Cobber yearbooks (1930's), photographs of student organiza-tions, programs of endless events, college records, catalogs and directories. "There arc interesting stories about Concordia's struggles and successes throughout the years." said Hoverson. The hours of archives are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
