Christmas on Friday Excites Superstition
Only three weeks until Christmas, and only four weeks of 1942 left! After that, the already speeded-up program will race full speed ahead to the close of the semester.
Superstition would warn the day both Christmas and New Y forecasts could be made. However, to a college student who invented the slogan, TGIF (Thank God, It's Friday) this day has no ill luck attached.
For most persons Friday is a special day, one of much activity and excitement. For instance, no less than six parties are scheduled for tonight. These include three Greek house dances; Alpha Chi pledges, Alpha Delt's, and Sigma Chi pledges; the Symphony dinner-dance, Hopkins hall house party; and the Wesley Foundation party.
All women's and some of the men's physical conditioning classes meet on Friday. Meetings of clubs and committees are often held on Friday. It's a great day, Friday. It's a great day today.

Women's Irritating Fads Annoy Fourth Year Men
By Wallace Kunkel
They've done it again. There are some of us guys on the Hill that are spending our fourth year in travail, besides the supermen Medics and grads, and every year we see a new fad.
Next year . . . white rubber boots.
It usually takes a year to cook it and then it stews and simmers around for another year and then it blurps out the next year like toast out of an automatic toaster. Fads, I'm talking about. That drove us flon-eyed. Looking like t
Now back in '39, before the waterways between us and the silkworm were hazarded, and hose for women were marked to 98c a pair, we used to play "train" on cold winter mornings. About 7:30 a.m. a brutal snowplow would smear the iceing off the Hill where studious feet were destined to trod and following close on its mole-board were two or three campus barelegs. That's what I said... b-a-r-e-l-e-g-s! That was called smart in those days. Plenty of socks back at the house but they had to spend a half hour of deep rationalization before walking out without them. The guys walking behind the frigid muscle-members were the innocent bystanders that caught the colds, psychological colds, that's what they were. Just like freezing all the way down main street in six-below weather and having an ice truck wink at you. But a few of the legs were covered with white rubber boots.
That drove us flap-eyed. Looking like the white flags of a hospital ship, they flopped back and forth through a trying winter, bucking the winds and embarrassing the winter as a whole. Once in a while a tinge of woolen red in sock form was seen peeeping from the brim of the rubberish whites and then somebody got the idea that the socks without the boots wouldn't look so bad. Someone else put the idea in Vogue, the price went to $1.65, and spring came.
It isn't so bad around here in the summer time. Objections to short, swimming suits with a swimming pool attached, and slacks of the tight-rope variety, are out of all reason. There is a time place for everything, even in the summer. Now back to the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. . .
They've blurped out again. Those (continued to page five)
