An open letter to Santa Claus

TO: MR. SANTA Claus

From: Jim Prosser, Student, University of Virginia

Mr. Claus,

As millions of children petition you for the latest hot item of the holiday season, I'd like to take this time to ask for some gifts myself.

While I'm sure that things like iPods and digital cameras top the list of many of my collegiate colleagues, I'd like to be selfless this season and ask for a few things, both tangible and intangible, for the broader University community rather than just for myself.

With that said, here's my wish list of things I'd like for the University community this holiday and for the ensuing semester ahead, in no particular order:

Local Savings

Puzzles
Hoos Spelling
