<Molideuf, Qilti *7o Sw-eetiei. Stump. Qali By VIRGINIA WELLS Buying for the boy-friend at Christmas time arouses the big question What gift would HE like ? Any boy would enjoy receiving Esquire’s gift set of Petty’s drawings, that have been shown during the year. If he likes his clothes to match, how about that tie, shirt, hand kerchief, and underwear combi nation that is featured in a Sun Valley stripe? Give a Radio He’ll appreciate the shoulder strap portable radio at the games, or if he has a car, a “snooper” spotlight makes a, valuable gift. For the really fastidious man, a manicure set complete with nail scissors, file, cuticle clipper, all enclosed by either a leather or service zippered case. Or Sports Stuff To make a hit, don’t knit him that sweater this year—buy him a Jantzen ski pull-over, and see smile of relief. Along with his skiing equipment a water proof wax kit, with a Swiss de signed cover, will hold a place of honor. Does he belong to a fraternity? A colorful package containing a crested plaque is hailed as a pop ular gift. The Sheaffer pencil with a duck lithographed on its base makes an unique present for the Oregon lad. An electric razor in leather gift case—or a Kirsten pipe are favorites among the men. For the Soldier The girl who wants to be “dif ferent’ ’in her gift for her friend ^in uniform, will send a large box of homemade cookies. This will really score a bullseye in mas culine appreciation.

I give my full sup port to its contents. I, myself, work in the kitchen washing dishes. The distribution of the work is of the worst kind. Usually there are not enough workers, or else too many. The reason that many of the workers do not show up for work more than occasionally is the minimum wage of 30 cents which is pa’d. When nobody appears to work, the whole burden of washing dishes for approximately 350 peo ple rests upon the shoulders of “Gussie” Morfield. Gussie is in charge of washing dishes. She has worked here for 12 years and receives only 35 cents an hour for working from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with about 2 hours off in the afternoon. Where does all this money saved from dishes go to? It certainly isn’t spent on food. The food is cooked well under the conditions but the emphasis on bulk and starch does not ap peal to me. If the money saved on the wages paid us were spent on buying more green vegetables Add To Your Holiday Spirit With a new Gay Gibson date dress to wear to those parties during va cation. Dad will probably be glad to have you help with the selection of your own gift. Left is one of the clever Gay Gibson models . . . dropped' shoulders . . . moulded hip line . . . skirt fullness ... It comes in Turtle Green and Black. The brightly jeweled pin adds a gay note. 19 Q 'u and fruit instead of more po tatoes, I would not protest. The conditions in the dorms need only be compared with those in the “frats” to see that they do not balance. I appreciate this opportunity to express myself. A Dorm Man 100 Per Cent OK To the Editor: I think that the Emerald is 100 per cent O.K. in the policies ad vocated in the Emerald editorial this morning about the dormitory food situation. Shu Yasui Unanimity To the Editor: I do not believe that there is one student in the dormitory who does not agree with the stand you have taken. We give our sup port wholeheartedly, and appre ciate your effort on our behalf. A Dorm Man 'Lost Cause" To the Editor: Suffice to say, you have gained the admiration of nearly every man and woman in the dorms for championing a cause that seemed to be “lost.” Thus far your cour age and frankness are almost un believable, and be reassured that you are reaching the truth. I would like to enumerate just a few more situation concerning which the dormitory directors might be quizzed: the fining of a hall where members wipe their hands on the curtains, when no paper towels are ever furnished. The wanton fining and over charging under pretense of ob serving “breakage” regulations. The government exercised by so called “sponsors,” on direct order from dormitory office. These are but a few of the in justices which prevail at present. I would not doubt in the least that students who have written letters similar to this would be called to account in an effort to appease some individual com plaining, yet the situation does not stop at petty objections of one or two persons. Every person in the dorm realizes the thorough rotteness of its direction. A Disgruntled Dorm Member fcxoose To the Editor: I take this opportunity to com pliment you and the Emerald for an expose that has been needed on the Oregon campus for some time. T feel that the dorm situation is not all that it should be” and it is for the benefit, not only of dorm students, but the entire campus, that such conditions be brought into the open and ana lyzed. Again let me congratulate you for an excellent and enlightening editorial: one that will not soon be forgotten, and one that will (we hope) be investigated by ihe proper authorities, a An Ex-dorm Fraternity Man Seasor/s Greetings From MOUNTJOY & CARMICHAEL 77 East Broadway Phono 286 560RD7 aancnvi ugKGanmu She'll Like Best In this “year of years” gifts -will mean more — there fore buy early! lit SWEATERS—Luscious pas tel shades in the softest yarns, long or short sleeves, “Victory” or “Crew" neck lines.
