" I,. tii - + ll ~kl 'il The familiar slogan, "Do your Christmas shopping early and avoid the rush" has special signifi- cance to us as students at the University. A final examination period that lasts till December 18th does not leave much time for a judicious selection of Christ- mas presents. The prospect of ar- riving home fresh from a trying set of exams and then fighting the crowds of last minute Christmas shoppers is not very appealing. The city of Ann Arbor offers a number of fine shopping areas which are reasonably accessible to the average student. The closest and probably most familiar areas are the State Street area and the South University area. Most of the stores in these areas appeal directly to the student market and are always up on the latest styles. Also reasonably accessible are the Downtown shopping area, cen- tered on Main Street, and Arbor- land Shopping Center, which is bordered by Washtenaw Ave. and U.S. 23. Main Street is five blocks west of State Street, the Down- town stores are concentrated on it between Liberty and Huron. In this area are such campus favor- ites as Sam's Store. Arborland, being right off of Washtenaw Avenue, is easy to get to by car. It is also serviced by public buses; for information on bus routes and schedules call City Bus Co. of Ann Arbor, 663-2613. Arborland has branches of a num- ber of stores familiar to those who live outside of Ann Arbor, espe- cially natives of Detroit. Among, these are: Hughes, Hatcher Suf- frin; J. C. Penney's; Winkelman's; Montgomery Wards; Hartman's; and Three Sisters. For those who have automobiles at their disposal there are the Westgate and Westland Shopping Centers. Westgate is located on West Stadium Boulevard near Liberty and Westland is between Ann Arbor and Detroit. Almost everyone has established some pattern of gift shopping, if you haven't, here are some help- ful suggestions. The advertisements in this sup- plement offer some ideas for Christmas gifts. Represented is a wide range of merchandise from a number of different stores in town. :.. t-r t _7_ T.1_- W atol for ine Man In The Red Crest I You'll spot him easily... his 3.

Just take a walk through one of the major shopping areas and ex- amine the Christmas displays in their windows. Even if you don't find exactly what you are looking for, it will get you started on the right track and be a pleasurable experience besides. For those who want something a little different to give for Christ- mas there are a number of stores in town specializing in unusual and exotic gifts. Many of these shops are located right in the central campus area. Among them are: the John Leidy shop; the Crown House of Gifts; the Salt Box Gift Shop; Maison Edward's; Artisans; the India Art Shop; ChesterRoberts; and Lenoy Im- ports. The conforming Christmas shop- per will find the traditional Christmas gifts still popular this year. For the man in your life there are such items as: sweaters, ties, shirts, pens, etc. If you think your boyfriend is being a little too aggressive lately Playboy is push- ing one, three, or five subscrip- tions, on which he can work off his frustrations. For the lady in your life there are: charms, circle pins, perfume, sweaters, etc. Or if you want to be subtle, but sugges- tive, there is always lingerie. One reminder to those who are planning to send gifts or cards through the mail. The Post Office has advised that Christmas mail be posted by Dec. 10th to insure delivery by Christmas Day, or if you are mailing air mail the dead- line is the 15th. Careful Wrapping Of Xmas Packages Insures Delivery The most important thing to consider in mailing Christmas gifts is preparing and addressing the package. The first step in mailing a Christmas package is a check with the local post office about size regulations. At the same time, the zip code of the address should be cheecked and used. The package should be carefully wrapped in heavy paper and twine. Be sure to mark it care- fully if the contents are perish- able or fragile. A letter may be included if the necessary postage is paid and the package is marked as containing a letter. Phone books may be misleading about addresses. Merely because a city is grouped under a general heading in a telephone directory does not mean it will be grouped under the same heading by the United States Post Office. For example, many addresses in the Ann Arbor phone book are not included under the Ann Arbor post office; they come under the juris- diction of the post offices at Belle- ville and Plymouth. All uncertain addresses should be checked with your local post office. Missing packages should be checked with the post office to which they were addressed. Do not consult your local post office. No record is kept of packages sent from there. A last general rule about Christ- mas packages: If in doubt, phone your local post office. It is their business to know how the mail is run and they will be more than happy to assist you with your mailing problems. Checking with the post office early means less work for them and certain delivery of your Christmas mail. SUBSCRIBE TO THE MICHIGAN DAILY 0 0 0. The holiday spirit is growing more and more each day. Santa has come down from the North Pole and made his yearly pilgri- mage down Fifth Avenue to visit his biggest competition - Macy's Toyland, a n d Shirley Temple movies are pushing dolls and Erector sets on T.V. Now is the time to start sending out those Holiday greetings and wishes for a Happy New Year. The Ann Arbor card and gift shops are brimming over with ever conceiv- able type of greeting and wish, from Santa wishing you a Happy Hanakah to a beautiful Currier and Ives painting reflecting the serenity and peace that accom- panies this time of the year.. The Post Office will soon be barking cries of mail your Christ- mas greetings now to be sure of Christmas delivery, and that card you liked so much yesterday will be gone, so whether you buy them by the box, or spend 14 hours selecting just the right card for the right person, run, and join the crowd of people who are tired of studying for finals, and have not much else to do than get their finger-prints all over the con- temporary cards or just come in from the cold. POST OFFICE DEADLINES Regular Mail Dec. 10; Air Mail Dec. 15 0 THE SMART CARD SHOPPER will get busy soon while there is still a good selection of greeting cards available. For those who wait card shopping may be a good study break diversion during final exams. CARD SHOPjPING- SEASON BEGINS.
