It means winter has final- ly arrived, the days will be getting shorter and you'll be walking to your eight o'clock class in the dark. It means traying in the arb and dodging snowballs instead of raindrops. But to some students the first snow means just one thing-ski- ing. If that's what winter means to you then you are in the right state. There may be no real moun- tains in Michigan, but it can match any state in the midwest in the number of ski resorts. If you're heading for the slopes you can find them less than an hour's drive from Ann Arbor. Mt. Brighton near Brighton offers in- expensive skiing both day and night: Monday-Friday tow fees are $3.50, Saturday, Sunday and holi- days the fees are $4.50. All night skiing fees (after 6 p.m.) are $3.50. A little further away and a lit- tle more expensive are Mt. Holly and Alpine. These two resorts are very popular with students for short trips, and skiing is available for $5.00 a day. After driving about an hour and a half you can ski at Pine Nob. Tow fees are a little higher, but the lodge offers an extra; a beau- tiful view of the slopes where you can eat dinner while checking out the form of some of your fellow skiiers. Caberfae Ski Area is near Ca- dillac and about three hour's drive from Ann Arbor. It is the oldest ski area in Michigan, and you can ski there for only $4.00 on week- days, and $5.00 on Saturday or Sunday. If you plan to stay longer than one day, accommodations are available at motels, hotels, and cabins in the area. Boyne Mt. Most weekend ski trips leaving Ann Arbor are headed for Boyne Country. Boyne Country is about a five hour drive from Ann Arbor, and consists of four different ski areas under single ownership and within a short distance from each other. Boyne Mountain is popular with advanced skiiers, but has ex- cellent beginner and intermediate slopes also. It is known for hav- ing good snow, and good "after ski" life. The tow rates are more expensive than any of the nearer areas ($6.50/day) but a ticket for Boyne Mountain is interchange- able with a Boyne Highlands lift ticket. Boyne Highlands is about 20 minutes from Boyne Mountain and is popular with beginner and intermediate skiiers. The slopes have less vertical drop but are very well groomed. The two small- er areas of the four are Wallon Hills and Thunder Mountain. They are a little less expensive than Boyne Mountain or the Highlands, and tend toward a more family atmosphere. Accommodations can be obtained at lodges at the dif- ferent resorts in Boyne Country. Weekend accommodations at Boy- ne Highlands Inn are $52.00 per person for a double room. To cut expenses on a trip, many students SKI ATTIRE remains basically traditional from year to year for skiers from Michigan to Aspen. Stretch pants, heavy turtleneck sweater and quilted ski jacket are shown at Jacobson's, each $16. "4 "A4 , " i NY3 1M L3 . " . " " s a i' '4 . C:. r.

Lift rates are less than in Boyne Country ($5.00/day) and the area is small- er 'and has a family atmosphere. The lodge is more accessible to students, however, with a single room available for $8.00, a double for $7.00, and a triple for $6.00, and four in one room for $5.00. Rooms in a chalet are also avail- able for about the same prices. All levels of skiing are available here, and the snow is good. If you have more than a week- end for your ski trip, and you want some of the best skiing in Michigan you might head for the Upper Peninsula. All levels of ski- ing are available at Indianhead and Powderhorn ski areas. There are more vertical drops and long- er runs. The snow is deep and there is more natural snow than any of the areas in lower Michi- gan. Equipment Anyone who goes skiing needs equipment. Don't buy any! If you are a beginner first make sure that you like skiing, and that you are going to ski more often than once a season because ski equip- ment can be expensive. Equipment rents for about $5.00 to $7.00 a day. 'there are some essentials in clothing even for the beginner skiier; wool socks, a pair of leath- er rope tow gloves, and long un- derwear. It is the privilege of both beginner skiiers and expert ski- iers to wear almost anything on the slopes. For most skiiers, though, the generally accepted outfit includes stretch pants, a ski sweater, and a water repellant parka. When you decide you are going to be a skier and begin buying equipment, skiiers will tell you that a good pair of boots (that fit) are most important. The skiis are next, with Head skiis generally the most popular. Hart skiis are also metal and. quite popular. Wood skiis are good for beginners, but are not as long-lasting as me- tal skis. They are less expensive but more difficult to repair if damaged. Fiberglass skiis are be- coming popular, but they are not repairable. By LESLIE WAYNE Hold on to your hats guys, the girl of your dreams is back.The girl that whispers of Windsong as she swishes by. You know the type, the one, soft subdued and feminine, who can make you run a mile just by fluttering her long silky lashes. No longer do you have to contend with the maxi-boots and patent leather skirts of Twig- gy or the outer space girl covered with hardware and gadgets. The girl entering the Christmas scene is coming packaged in ruffles, vel- vets and soft satin bows. The "look" for the 1967 Christ- mas scene is one of traditional romanticism. It is keynoted by an emphasis on rich fabrics - dark mysterious velvets, silks of the Orient, and ruffles, long sub- merged under the sleek look of sixties. " One of the hottest outfits of the season is a little black suit with ruffled blouse a la Yves Saint Laurent. This man-tailored suit, part of an Edwardian look and last seen on Lord Byron, features a short velvet jacket and a full velvet skirt snuggly fitted over a ruffled blouse. Ruffles and Blouses Ruffles have fluttered their way back onto the fashion scene knocking out the slick look with one faint swish. Blouses are found covered with them, especially around the collar and cuffs. Lux- urious is the only way to describe these blouses as they feature long satin Italian collars or soft silken ascots. Girls with waists are slipping back as large belts are popping up everywhere. These belts-the big- ger the better-have been featur- ed in all types of materials: lea- thers, patents and suedes. Fur- ther emphasis is added by a re- vival of the dirndle skirt. You know, the skirt, fully gathered at the waist, that makes a girl look like a girl. Although less flamboyant than last year, the look for 1967 typi- fies a special kind of elegance. This new surge to the "old" uses everything that was once luxur- ious and hard to get. A further decline in the flamboyant is noted by a mixing of rich fabrics rather than a mixing of rich colors. This soft complimenting of textures- tweeds, wools, and velvets-lends a subtle contrast to the muted tones of the season. A Flicker of Glitter Glitter, last year's "hot" item, has remained but taken on a new form. No longer is it the all-over, knock-'em-out power package. In- stead, it manifests itself in little ways-slight touches like silvery shoes, a silvery barette or purse- but never a total dress, shoes and hose combination. Glitter has al- so made its way up to the eyes with flickers of silver being brush- ed through the brows, and over the lids. Jewelry, mellow golds in intri- cate designs, lends to this roman- tic air. Most likely you'll find the Christmas girl of 1967 bedeckedd with antique pins of pearl and jade. Big news this season are rings, in all shapes and sizes, to be worn on one finger or all ten. Anything goes--so long as it's old! So fellows, light the fireplaceeg< and bring on the mistletoe. The super girl of the sixties has trans- formed herself into a shy demure creature that poets once dreamed about. Santa has brought you a package you can appreciate all HOLIDAY year round-or at least until the coed elegan styles change! a contrasti a ;ti I I I I I I I I I I I I 'i. . . .. .F .IT .. ..

I I I I Love, Student Book By ALICE PREKETES Another "season to be jolly" is here and the University has once again taken up the holiday spirit and given students its traditional Christmas present, final exams. Inspired by the U's magnanimous gesture students will take cherish- ed hours away from books to dem- onstrate their creativity in select- ing original gifts for family and friends. Here are some ideas which may be of help. Several of the/Ann Arbor mer- chants have wonderful selections of delicately hand-carved jewelry and music boxes including a cigarette coffin' which plays the death march. Room and apartment decora- tions shouldn't be underrated as interesting gifts. Among the new- er things which have recently ap- peared are mod box tables done in brightly colored are nouveau designs, unusual enameled copper flower wall hangings, and a vari- ety of antique-framed wall mir- rors. The Crown House has re- cently received a beautiful ship- ment of Israeli brass. Or, for the particularly daring, " T i g e r Things," a complete line of bright- ly patterned, vinyl covered bath- room fixtures, may be just what you're looking for. Pancake Warmer For your favorite Early Ameri- can pancake lover an Old-Fash- ioned Pancake Warmer is the per- fect item. And how about a bacon ironer to accompany it? Both are found at John Leidy. Puzzles are particularly chal- lenging to the intellect, especially the new jigsaw puzzles in abstract designs. For the younger set there are large soldier drums full of Poppy- cop candy and many new Christ- mas books. Utilitarian desk accessories can also be original if you select one of the unusual paperweights now available or Gwen Frostic original block print stationery. If you must remain convention- al in your gift selections Jacob- son5s Gift Boutique has promised a wonderful selection of perfume bottles and you can always buy the traditional Peanuts items.
