Campus Social Life to Be Dormant Until Advent of New Year
Students returned to the University today from a 10-day vacation to find a snow-covered campus, some left-over mid-seemesters, but no social program until the turn of the new year when the big New Year's party in Hoch auditorium (Saturday) will usher in a new round of activities.
Meanwhile, those remaining on the campus were not exactly idle. Two parties were given during vacation for the servicemen remaining on the campus. Christmas Eve, the scene was the Union Lounge where hostesses were members of the University Women's Club. Christmas night the Community Service League gave its regular Saturday night party at the Community building. In honor of the occasion special decorations were up and the hostesses wore formals. Herb Price's band played. Santa Claus was present at both parties to distribute gifts.
TRAVELERS---the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
(continued from page one) the actual possibilities of the obstacle course as they struggled to board a train. Any student who survived a session or two at the K.C. Union Station over the holidays should consider himself a fine physical specimen—though at the time he may feel very much like the middle sardine.
Chivalry was not entirely lacking during the holiday rush. There was one gentleman who offered his seat on a packed bus to a lady who was standing in the aisle. The dear woman was obviously overcome—she fainted. When she regained consciousness, she thanked the gentleman and he fainted. Any resemblance between this story and a similar one appearing in Joe Miller's joke book is quite understandable.)
A lightening factor on the holiday traffic was the general feeling of good will which accompanies the Christmas season.
Few people refuse to forgive the guy who's pushing to get home for Christmas—and honest, Mabel, you'll walk again.
SMALL TOWN---the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
(continued from page one) until you notice their white foreheads contrasted against reddened, leathery cheeks and noses. Farmers: Christmas Doesn't Change
Christmas day is the very same as it has always been. The dinner is at your house and all your cousins come in from the country with their children. You while away the time with the latter, rushing them upstairs when necessary and extracting turkey legs from their murderous grasp. Everybody eats so much they are openly miserable. Nancy, age 5, informs you she has named her new rag doll (a cross-eyed, orange-headed creation) after you, and the day is complete.
The next day—mainly because of a new snow suit—you decide to go ice skating. But just about that time the paper boy gets around to delivering the Minnihaha (bi-monthly) Gazette, and you read that on the very evening you came home two scouts fell through, and, although they were saved by comrades who have since been awarded Minnihaha's equivalent of the purple heart, the ice is not recommended.
You decide you were really too worn out anyway. You have been staying up until all hours telling the folks about how at school you don't drink or smoke and that yes you are "just pals" with the boys.
Two more days and it is time to head down the Kaw. The folks drag out the Ford, a few tractor gas coupons Cousin Bob contributed toward your education, and the family caliope churns back to civilization.
