Coat Hanger, Cedar, Berries Spell "X-Mas" In Coed's Room
Though few college women can afford a small tree with dancing lights and expensive Christmas decorations for their rooms, here are a few suggestions planned to bring the cheer, warmth and friendliness of the Christmas spirit into that tiny room in the dormitory, sorority or private home.
An attractive Christmas wreath can be made by bending a wire coat hanger to form a circle with a hook. Wire or tie spicy cedar or evergreen boughs to the circle; add a cluster of cranberries threaded on string, and a big red bow at the top. Hang it on the door to your room and it's sure to cause many exclamations.
Tiny jingle bells from the dime store strung on bright red yarn and combined with a green bough and a shiny red oilcloth bow will make a merry tinkle as friends enter your room.
Maybe Mother could use a new
dust pan. Why not buy a bright red one and hang it scoop side up near your door or on a vacant wall. Fill it with pine cones, spruce boughs or holly, and tie a ribbon bow around the handle. It will be useful even after Christmas!
Tape a sprig of mistletoe or holly to your mirror or make tiny snow-men or animals from the white styra-foam material which may be obtained from any flower shop. Rudolph the red-nosed raindee could have a cranberry or red hat pin nose.
Your originality at Christmastime may save you money which can go in the "gifts to others" pocketbook.
Several of these ideas were borrowed from the booklet of Christmas suggestions compiled by faculty of the Home Economics department, University of Kansas.
29 Men Spend Week-end In Sorority House
Twenty-nine men were guests at the Delta Gamma sorority house Dec. 9. They were attending a Father's week-end which the chapter plans to make an annual affair.
After taking dads "out" for a steak dinner Saturday, the D.G.'s and their "favorite dates" saw a movie and then hurried home for a midnight bridge tourney.
Finally the fathers adjourned to their living quarters on third floor.
The identity of the D.G. dad who served as "call boy," or sounded revelie, is unknown, but by 8 a.m. Sunday the pajama-clad guests were lined up in the hall awaiting their turn to shave. They darted modestly into their rooms whenever a feminine voice shouted, "Woman on third!"
After attending church, the group returned home for a turkey dinner.

Mahan-Moddelmog Engagement Told
With Christmas just three weeks away the fathers had emptied their billfolds into a kitty for purchase of a surprise gift for the house-a television set.
It was then that a spokesman for the D.G. dads made an after dinner speech whose message climaxed the week-end.
Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Mahan of Wichita announce the engagement of their daughter, Geraldine, to Mr. Alvin Moddelmog, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Moddelmog of Abilene.
Miss Mahan is a College sophomore and a member of Delta Gamma sorority. Mr. Moddelmog is a College junior and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
