The Thanksgiving va cation has gone into retirement for another year and the turkeys are all slim-pickings now, so it’s time to get ready for the jolly old fellow with the white beard, red coat, and shiny black boots—Santa Claus, that is. In case you don’t believe in such fabulous legends, it’s just the same old Christmas spirit that seems to sneak up on everyone this time of the year, so we’re going to do some arm-chair speculating on some ideas for your Christmas list. Slippers At the top of the list will possibly be a girl—a friend, sister, or your mother. If she's not yet used to this sudden cold spell that has descend ed upon Eugene, there’s many va rieties of warm slippers that ought to solve the problem. “Oomphies”' has several to choose from this year—the ballerina in striking satin stripe; the scuff in varying shades of plaid and also in white bunny fu£- and the platformed Chinese slipper. Equally feminine are the llama slippers Which are fluffy, light-as-a-feather and warm. They / are made in Peru of silky Alpaca fur, soft leather lining and outer sole, fur inner sole. Blouses Blouses find a place in almost any wardrobe. For sport and evening wear, we’ve seen the very popular Joan Kenley “Sonnet,” which has the jewel neckline and push-up sleeves. Also, Glenwear’s latest is a short-sleeved, round necked blouse with a lace insertion, which is also good for campus wear under suits. Now’s the time, too, to begin col lecting sweaters. In many of Eu gene's shops, new shipments of wools, nubby-knits, angoras in both long and short hair, and ski sweat ees have arrived.

THE DISENCHANTED SANTA ... St. Nick tells unsuspecting Gloria Smith that people can continue to disbelieve if they wish—he doesn’t believe in people. Professional Life Exhausting For Cynical Saint Nicholas By JULEE THIMS Some people don’t believe in Santa Claus, but this Santa Claus “don’t believe in nothing.” In fact he doesn’t even love little children. Despite his cynicism, he’s a right jolly old fellow, sans sleigh, sans reindeer, and sans belief. “I had to think awhile before taking the job,” he said, "But then I decided it was a helluvagoodidea.” When a little child wandered into this modern Santa’s lair he greeted him with, “Hello, honey, you little deleted. What do you want for Christmas, a train?” Victorious Susan Campbell jCompletes Successful Season As a climax to an outstanding season of women's intramural vol leyball, Susan Campbell hall, the victors topnotched a sensational no loss season. Susan Campbell de serves all honors not only because they copped the 1946 championship but because of their straight three j*ar win in this event. The term ending has found many her women's sports just begin ng. Most of winter term is devot 3 to the WAA intramural swim eets and the international tele raphic swim meets sponsored by he Amphibians. Intramurals The intramurals, where the out standing swimmers are selected to represent the University of Oregon jn, the telegraphic meet, were held 'ovember 13 and 20. Winter term [ll see the outcome of the tele aphic swimming meet February 26 and March 5. Interesting is the fact that the University placed sec ond in competition with seven oth er universities of the western re gion and tied for fourth place na tionally when they participated in last year's intercollegiate telegraph ic swimming meet. Maryanne Han sen placed first and set a new rec ord in*the 60-yard individual med ley. Other Sports Other sports in the feminine scope this term were field hockey and modern dance, the latter organ ized and demonstrated by Orchesis, women's dance group. The purpose of this organization is to organize into two groups, advanced and be ginning, those girls with special in terest in dance as an art and to help further interest in, and apprecia tion of the dance. Looking into Santa’s disillusioned eyes with naivete and faith found only in a small child, he* replied, “Naw, I got two of them darn things last year.” Instead of raising his powdered white eyebrows, he dropped them a couple of inches, but not from shock. The arc lights which ele vate the temperature to 105 de grees fahrenheit occasionally melt the foundation grease which sus pends them over his sweaty brow. “I’ll tell von ^ what really gets on my nerves in this racket,” he said. “All these little kids want to pick up the toys in the window.” | His daily amusement comes around 4 p. m. when the high school students gather outside the window to exhibit their superior knowledge concerning the legend of St. Nicholas. Picking up one of the furrier bunnies, Santa beckons the group of disbelievers to join the ranks of the faithful. This never fails to embarrass the offend ers, the crowd is seen to disperse. Was Santa suiprised when a size L4 blonde appeared one day to perch on his knee and demand a pair of nylons, a mink coat and a Buicty! ‘Tve been waiting for this for two weeks,” was his only com ment. This was a little out of line of the usual requests, which had thus far been dominated by electric trains, doctor and nurse kits, bi :ycles, and dy-dee dolls. One little boy, obviously im pressed by the housing shortage, asked for a five-room house in his (Please turn to page fourteen) Parity *7ime By MARY HIBBITT and JACKIE WACHHOKST The fortnighter is all packed for the much anticipated Christmas holidays, the only thing left out is that special checked travel )ing suit which will adorn Betty j-. Coed when she "steps off the N train into moth Jer and dad’s m arms on Dec. 20. “Home at last! What bliss! Just peace and quiet.” Then with a bang the social merry-go-round be gins and Miss Coed is caught in the whirl of Christmas parties. Peace and quiet go out the win dow when that reunion with the gang is planned. Wool Dresses All those informal gatherings will demand dresses which ex press Christmas party gaiety at its prettiest. Soft wools in vibrant green and holly red with touches of shining gold and silver will ac company the festive holiday mood and bring back that old glint to his eye. When you’re heading for those more formal parties bring out that under-the-mistle-toe dress that you’ve been saving for this “ im portant occasion. Christmas belles will really ring when attired in dance and date dream dresses of black ebony trimmed with clusters or stripes of dazzling sequins. The holiday-party will be com plete, and you'll sparkle as a Christmas star in that bare-shoul deied taffeta formal that rustles and swirls with the music.

Fielding claims that men like most in women what is opposite their own characters. Punch hit the nail on the head in asserting that . "a woman’s heart, like the moon, the head in asserting that “a moon, is always changing, but there is always a man in it.” But what does the average Joe College think of the University of Oregon co-ed ? This was the ques tion that was bothering a group of frosh girls in their Monday eve ning YWCA Commission, and with the characteristic initiative of their sex, they set forth to find the answer. Scientific Poll Questionnaires were sent to all boys’ living organizations. A panel made up of four BMOC’s (A1 Pop ick, president of the Order of the O; Tom Hazzard', yell king and president of Druids; Bob Daggett, president of the junior class; and Bill Barnum, president of Skull and Dagger) discussed the ques (Pleasc turn to i payc twelve) Possible Presents Seem Hard-to-Get By BETH BASLER All you eager Christmas shop pers, attention!

Not a bad idea, not bad at all. A little on the dreamy side is the—wish of Dee Gee pledge, Zeta Sinclair, for a black mirror-bot tomed swimming pool surrounded by graceful weeping willow trees. A large helping of peace and quiet goes along with this order. What a Christmas vacation Zeta could have if this little knick-knack appears under the Sinclair Christmas tree! A Topular Request Because she hates the thought of coming back for Friday, Kathy For sythe, charmer from Susie, wishes that she might have a longer Christmas vacation in her new home in sunny Santa Rosa (Cali fornia, of course). After thinking about it clear through lunch, Hendricks’ Lynn, Renick decided that most of all she would appreciate a portable tele phone. “For obvious reasons,” she says. She also wishes in vain for someone who could understand her. Marjorie Dunn isn’t quite sure there are such things, but she would love to have a live panda bear.

Another Neatie Here’s hoping Alpha Chi Janet Beigle has an inventor who is will ing to help Santa, for she would like a typewriter which would write out all her journalism papers automati cally.
