Diamonds Are Signs Of Christmas Past
The extra glitter and sparkle seen after vacation is caused partly by the increased number of white rocks adorning third fingers, left hands. Sweetheart bracelets, lockets, pins of fraternity and armed forces, all are evidence that Christmas has come—and gone.
As one woman remarked, "Vacation was wonderful, but I just didn't go soon enough, nor stay long enough." Still, the week was to the average stu-
New Year's Eve! This year's celebration will be handled in a different manner than usual by most students, since classes are being held today and tomorrow. This will be a damper on at least some plans, but the enthusiasm with which a new year is greeted will be present, regardless.
The opening of the KU Country Club tonight will be the highlight of the celebration on the Hill. Four hours of dancing, noise-making, singing, entertaining, and being entertained are offered those who go. The one-thirty closing hour is another inductive factor.

American Alumni Council Aids In Military Morale
Mr. Robert Sibley, of the University of California and president of the American Alumni Council, announced that the organization's efforts are now being directed toward boosting the morale of college men in the service. This announcement followed the meeting of the Board of Directors for the Council, Dec. 18 and 19. in Chicago.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association at the University and a member of the Board, attended the Chicago
meeting. The Council is formed of alumni associations from some 300 major universities and colleges in the United States and Canada.
"We feel that our colleges and universities are keystones to democratic national action in war and in peace," said Mr. Sibley, "and our alumni associations propose to sustain them with all the power at our disposal—financially, and spiritually."
"We have underway joint plans to aid in mental stimulation and morale of our college men in service by extending means of contact with them even in London, Algiers, Sydney, Chungking and other headquarters that may be set up.
"We are now carrying forward, in a unified way, aid in the procurement of talent for both military and civilian services, and we are making use of our unique relationship with the great majority of the outstanding personalities of our nation to spread a high sense of patriotism in all phases of the war effort.
"We are organizing for more stress on civic and political participation on the part of our alumni and more widespread study of our American institutions and our relationships with the world."
