TOYS FOR TOTS—Some wistful child will be made happy when he receives the gift shown above being wrapped and donated by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy as he officially opens the toy campaign. The campaign is being conducted by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity; the Inter-fraternity
Council, and the Panhellenic Council. With a goal of 6,000 toys, the drive will end at noon Tuesday, Dec. 20. Collections will be made at organized houses on request, or may be placed in the Student Union lounge and the Strong Hall rotunda. To arrange for a pick-up of toys, call Roger L. Thom, St. Joseph junior and general chairman of the drive. (Daily Kansan Photo)
In This Class They Play With Dolls
Here is a class project that is just like playing with dolls. In fact, that's exactly what the class does.
Women enrolled in Clothing Design I are beginning a project of designing and making clothes for a doll.
Miss Muriel Johnson, instructor in home economics, is instructor.
The class has been studying the history of costumes from ancient times to the present. Each girl chooses a historical period, from Roman and Greek times through the early 1900's. She copies a costume from that period for her coll's outfit.
Costumes Nearly Perfect
Costumes Nearly Perfect The costumes will be complete
with shoes, hats, hoop skirts or bustles, and appropriate accessories. It must be as nearly perfect as possible, Jewelry, beading, and trimming also will be included on the costume.
Selecting the material and design for the gown that is characteristic of the period chosen is important. The texture, color, and fabric must be the same as that used in the period.
Some of the girls who have chosen the same period in history are working together. One designs a costume for a girl doll and the other for a boy doll.
After deciding on the design of the gown, the girls either drape the figure with muslin and cut a pattern from that, or they cut directly from the material.
With a doll approximately eight inches high the scale is the major problem.
Work During Vacation
Many in the class will spend their Christmas vacations working on the clothes for their dolls. The time required to make them depends on the elaborateness of the design.
The home economics department is attempting to build a permanent collection of history fashions. A display of dolls made in other years is now on exhibit in the Fraser Reading Room. Perhaps the hardest part of the
Bull Market Report
An old bull and a young bull meandered around and up the hill towards the Campanile, finally taking their positions of rest there.—It being a tiring proposition for anyone to negotiate such a piece of geography. As they leisurely counted petals (daisy, of course) the young bull's gaze fell upon the Marquee of the Granada Theatre. After closer observation and a mighty bellow, the young bull kicked the old bull on the rump and informed his senior that of all things there hidden one door south of the Granada Theatre is a Burger Palace. (Loaded with what looks to be as fine a burger as a discriminating bull would walk a furlong for.) The young bull now pawing divots out of the landscape suggested that he and the old bull leave their lofty resting place, race down 15th to Mass., turn north, speed down Mass. to the Stadium Barber Shop, make a big hairy turn to the right across the street and jump through the front window—and then eat about half of those fine burgers—Whereupon the old and wiser bull stated that Jr. had the right idea but the wrong attack. The old bull suggested that they slowly walk to South Park, take a short cut, (Conserving energy all the way) casually open the front port (customer parking in rear) stroll in and polish off ALL the burgers and maybe clean up several tubs of
chili to boot. Proving wisdom is a mighty fine asset. But most human beans know bulls do not practice Cannibalism, and everyone should know that even if they did, two rested bulls still couldn't eat all of our burgers. (We're well stocked—have to be to satisfy the insatiable appetites of Freshmen and their likes.) It may be further stated that I may get stuck for plagiarism but will never be accused of building less than the best in burgers. (20c each-6 for $1.00) as for the chili, it is second to none @ 30c for a large bowl. (70c a pint) I make it myself. I personally select the large Grade A eggs that are served for breakfast at all hours.

Ike Gets Gift Tractor
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (U.P.)—Farmers from three states figured out today what to give the man who has everything. They rolled out a bright new tractor for President Eisenhower.
Clothes make the woman in Tibet, says the National Geographic Society. Believing a person's beauty lies in clothes, a wealthy woman spends hours making her toilet. She dotes on cosmetics, preferably American brands. Jewels denote her husband's rank in the government hierarchy. A cabinet minister's wife has been known to display gems worth $20,000.
It wasn't as if the President really needed a tractor, although he no doubt can find a use for it. Four tractors already are in operation on the President's farm.
None of them, however, actually belongs to the President. Like most of the equipment in use on his land, they are owned by Brig. Gen. Arthur S. Nevins, who supervises the Eisenhower farm, and others who actually till the President's soil.
The newest addition to the Eisenhower tractor line was the gift of Farm Bureau Cooperative Association members in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
The equipment was the latest in a continuing flow of gifts received by the President and Mrs. Eisenhower since they bought their farm home here in 1950.
