You often find yourself glancing at your reflection in the golden mirrors of the Prayer Tower on your way to class. You’re probably wondering if you’re up to date with the latest trends in male fashion.

After studying the designer looks in men’s fashion for this winter and spring season, I am here to fill you in on all things you need to know to keep up that stud-like persona.

One of ORU students’ favorite restaurants, McNellie’s Public House, is setting up camp in a new location on the corner of 71st Street and Yale.

The restaurant, famous for its $3 burger night, announced a new location will open this spring three miles from campus. This means when the craving for a delicious burger and some sweet potato fries hits, one more option will be available for Tulsa residents than the 1st Street and Elgin Avenue downtown.

Christmas wouldn’t be the same without the giving and receiving of gifts each year. Different types of gifts find value in the hearts of ORU students.

“My most prized Christmas gift is the pearls my grandma gave me. She gives pearls to each granddaughter when she turns 16,” said senior education major Juelie Scanlon.

For other students, warm nostalgia fills their memory when they ponder past Christmas gifts.

“My favorite Christmas gift was a 3-and-a-half-story Barbie house when I was about 6 years old,” said sophomore Rosina Albanese. “It was taller than me!”

Other Christmas gifts are held highly esteemed because they invoke talent.

“My best Christmas gift was my mandolin because I love playing it,” said junior Bruce Dixon. “My sister and my mom bought it for me when I was 19.”

Christmas gifts come in all different shapes and sizes, but some of the most valuable ones are found in the least expected packages.

As Prayer Garden lovers scramble to escape the recently lit Christmas lights, ORU students may begin to look for new sights around the Tulsa area. Different places in the metropolitan area offer Christmas lights and decorations that can be accessed by students hunting for something to solidify their Christmas spirit.
