'Substitutes for Christmas Vacation? Maybe; They Don't Sound Bad! By BARBARA JEREMIAH What would Christmas be with out Christmas vacation? Well, what would Jimmy Durante be without Margaret O’Brien? Cer tainly not a going thing, but it has interesting theoretical possibilities. With a few Christmas ingredi ents from the various departments and a lot of spirits from the Vets Dorm, we might work up an ac ceptable substitute. First of all, we need a Santa Claus. Right now, no one seems to need a Santa Claus worse than the orphans in the PE department with no scholastic home. Maybe a booth could be set up in the Co-op where Dean Leigh SHOE REPAIR DONE BY CAMPUS SHOE SHOP gives your shoes miles of extra wear.

TREES TO LINE WALK What about a Christmas tree? With a few well-lit members of the student body stationed near the trees lining the Senior Walk, we could have something rivaling Hol lywood’s famed Yuletide boulevard. Dinner would be magnificent, if everyone saved all the turkeys they pulled in exams. And who wouldn’t appreciate a plum pudding, flam ing with cough syrup, followed by after-dinner cold pills. The talent committee could or ganize a group of carollers to float past the living organizations on barges singing “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas.” The houses would be expected to invite them in for a cup of steaming wassail and a brownie button, redeemable dur ing winter term. ODD BALLS ON DOOKS Each house could make up a wreath for the front door composed of well-picked, evergreen fresh men, brightened by odd balls. De ferred rushing would make avail able enough pledge ribbons to tie the packages. Of course, for Christmas Eve we would have to have a real old-fash ioned Christmas party, where ev eryone could dance the Charleston and small gifts (fraternity pins for the women and thousand-doliar legacies for the men) would be dis tributed. And with the cooperation of the faculty, Christmas morning would be the best ever, with A grades fill ing every stocking. Students Colled To Form Group For Air Travel Two -students are needed to act as representatives in organizing student groups for cut-rate air transportation home for Christmas, according to Air Travel Inc. of New York. Student representatives will be paid commissions plus an expense paid trip home and back for them selves. Under the Air Travel plan groups of students living in the same area will be flown from Eugene to what ever principal city is closest to their homes, and return the same way at the end of Christmas vaca tion. Group fares will be 20 to 30 per cent lower than scheduled air lines fares, the company announc ed. Students interested in acting as representatives should write to Air Travel, Inc. 420 Lexington avenue, New York 17, N. Y. A Tennessee couple, recently divorced, were remarried a week before their baby son was bom. Love, honor and -oh boy! J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test YOU’D never guess to see him now, but just two weeks ago there was a sad, forlorn look in Sheedy’s beady eyes. People picked on him because his hair looked like he was moulting. Not a gal on campus would even carrion a conversation with him. Then he bought a bottle of Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic and he’s been a gay old bird ever since. Non-alcoholic Wildroot containing Lanolin keeps hair neat and well-groomed all day long. Relieves annoying dryness, removes the loose Ugly dandruff that can make you a social outcast. So if your hair is giving you trouble, set your corpse for the nearest drug or toilet goods counter and get a bottle or tube of Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic. And ask your barber for professional applications. It’s the best treatment your hair cadaver get. 4c of 327 Burroughs Dr., Snyder, N. Y, Wildroot Company, Inc, Buffalo 11, N. Y.
