Two Christmas operetta, "Sants in Southland," and "The Miser's Dream," were given at the Lawrence Memorial High School Wednesday evening by the McAllaster school children.

Frosh! Take Notice of Office Changes
Well, the worst of the retreat is over and the administrative offices of the University are firmly encosted in their new quarters in the Administration building. The chief of a battery of typewriters and telephones at the university are wondering why the Dean wants to see them; are gone from Frasier.
No.78
The offices of the Chancellor, the dean of the College, the registrar the dean of men, and the headquarters of the business office, the Memorial Corporation and the alum ii office have all been removed to the University. The Office of the director of the summer session and the dean of education are occupying the Chancellor's former rooms in Fraser.
Aside from losing a few belongings, which happens to everyone on moving day, the change is satisfactory to all concerned.
The rooms which have housed the administration of the University for more than twenty years seem a little bare—a little deserted, perhaps. But the life of the University surges on. New groups of students will throng the buildings and impose the life of the building. And, in time, the pre-eminence of old Fraser will be forgotten even, by youth and progress.

Student Rail Hejira Has Its Procedure
A university education is a great thing—at least the home folks think so—and most students are anxious to avoid appearing "green" on the train going home Christmas. The remedy, fortunately, is simple.
The first thing for a man to do is to purchase a cigar and a newspaper, then the newspaper in his bucket, and plants his feet on his travelling bags which should be liberally plastered with gum. He takes trips by different members of the family.
He remarks on the stiffness of the air and slyly drops a nint that trains in California are generally hard to learn, and this country. He opens no conversations but stares straight ahead, as if bared to death. He unbutton his collar and touches his hair, so that people get used to him. He has been on the train for hours.
Although traveling only a few miles, he joins the rush to the dining car, returning with a tooltip in his pocket, an insignia "f. him who has eaten.
As the brakes are applied and the train slows up at the old home town, he mutters importantly about a big deal he has on in the next one-nose town. No one suspects that he lives there—that is, not if he can help it.

Dance Intrudes on Rules
Dean Requests Students Not to Attend Coloradoan
"We would not allow our own students to have a dance for profit, and in the middle of the week," said Susan Wynn, one of the women, "therefore out of loyalty to our own musicians, students are asked please not to patronize the party being given in F. A. U. hall even by the Coloradoans."
Many quizzes will be given Friday morning, according to Miss Husband, and the party would interfere with studying for them. Every organization, on the hill has pledged itself not to interfere in any way with the quiz, and if the members went to the dance, they could not hear the serenades.
"It is unfair to our students to go," finished Mrs. Husband. "We have asked for the co-operation of the teachers feel that we can depend on them."

Christmas Tree Program Will Be Held in Robinson
Students Give to Friendship Fund Liberally; Booth Will Be Maintained in Gymnasium
On account of the threatening weather, the Christmas Tree celebration will be held in Robson gymnasium on the second floor, at 7:30 p.m. Although there is but a slight chance for any more rain, the preuples in doors would be disagreeable in many respects, according to the managers.

The chair will be placed in front of the out the original plan, Spotlights have also been arranged to light up the chair and the tree.

It is asked by the committee in charge of the serenades that the houses do not make contributions to the serenades, for it makes them longer in completing their tour.
Organized Houses Generous
Thus far, the student Friendship Fund has been supported generously by each member and indication are that it will surpass the amount subscribed last year. The organized houses have been especially generous in their contributions. At one, they decided not to have a formal party and to give the difference to the Friendship Fund. At another, they agreed to eliminate the sending of $10,000 per person and give the amount saved to the fund.
Others voted to give a dollar for each body.
For those who have neglected to get their candies, a booth will be maintained in the gymnasium. Here it will be possible for those houses to receive the candy by engaging a dollar for each member, to secure their large Yuliette tervine candies. The committee has interpreted the application of this rule so that it is possible for any event to Lawrence to secure the large candle.
Need Only Present Receipts
The total contribution is two dollars, but it will be given, while those totaling ten dollars or over are entitled to two huge candles. It is only necessary to pre-register for the gymnasium to secure the candles.
"I am more than pleased with the spirit that the students have shown for their work," said Fund, "and harold Burt today. I think that they have realized it to be a worthy cause and an appropriate way to our beautiful Christmas tradition."
