Too Cold to Shop? Try a 'Nosewarmer'
The snow came, and with it a mass migration of KU students flocking down the hill to the stores and shops along Massachusetts Street regardless of the below freezing weather.
The first snow seemed to catch many students with their boots off. A local department store clerk said that after the snow Friday there was a business spurt in the boot department—mostly student customers.
While students seemed to wait for the weekend to start their Christmas shopping for others, they didn't wait to warm their own feet. One store manager said that their supply of boots dwindled by 40 or 50 per cent that first day.
Whether it's jewelry, record albums, boots or school clothing, there's usually a helper along to pick the "perfect gift." "If the shopper is a boy, there's usually a girl along, too," laughed one saleswoman.
ANOTHER salesman agreed that the student trade was pretty heavy. It seems that the majority of the students are getting their Christmas shopping done before they go home for the holidays. They're buying, not looking, he said.
Another clerk estimated the ratio of students to Lawrence residents who came into the shops as about two to three.
Campus Women In Sports
THE KU WOMEN'S basketball team emerged victorious in its game last Saturday against the Washburn University team defeting them by a score of 52 to 15. Members of the KU team were Ann Weaver, Topeka senior; Susan Geiger, Leavenworth sophomore; Nancy Sturgis, St. Louis Mo., sophomore; Phyllis Baker, Blue Rapids junior; Barbara Bomhoff, Atchison freshman; Joyce Sayre, South West City, Mo, senior; Gay Durner, Bern junior; Marilyn Matt, Minneapolis junior; Loretta Estelle, Lawrence freshman, and Barbara Bock, St. Louis freshman.
NO MATTER how cold it gets, as was the case last night, as long as the stores stay open students will be looking, trying to get their Christmas shopping done. One enthusiastic young man wasn't going to catch a cold while shopping. He wore a pointed, knit nose warmer which fit around his nose and was tied to his head by a red ribbon in back.
The nosewarmer, he said, was a gift from a girl.
