The typical textbook definition of a "White Elephant" is an item in possession that is too expensive to keep. In other words, it's a potential gift that you may give. Wednesday December 3, 2008 the De Anza Associated Student Body held a event in the lower level of the Hinson Campus Center called "The White Elephant".
For asomeone active within the student government, there's very few occasions in which we celebrate of year. Extremely rare occasions such as this provide an opportunity for us to relax and be ourselves so that we can stay focused and professional the rest of the our time here in De Anza as representatives of the students. This will be the final formal gathering of the year for each of us in the senate along with the student trustee and Madam secretary and everyone gave their part in making this day memorable as it was. One week prior to this day, everyone was informed of the Secret Santa, and this week was the day when the celebrations began. 
With finals around the corner and the year nearing its en
d, this was our last chance to bond and create more unity as a senate. Two tables were lined up with pies, cakes, desserts, and spaghetti. Now that we ended the quarter on a lighter note, we'll return next year after the break well prepared with revitalized goals.
