You'd think college students would be too busy to think about others during this time of year: They have so much to think about, what with final exams and all. But for this group of college kids, that is not so!
Dial-a-Carol is a student-run holiday program that started at the University of Illinois in 1960. Students in a dorm called Snyder Hall host the caroling tradition each year.
