At the junior law party held at Grangers last night one of the dances was announced as a special Good Fel- low dance, and a goodly sum was re- alized to help provide a Merry Christ- mas for some forlorn Ann Arborite. The committee which is assisting the Good Fellow Editor, announces that at all the parties which are to be held in Ann Arbor before the holidays, one dance will be designated as the Good Fellow dance, and both men and wo- men will be given an opportunity to help the good work along by their contributions. Arrangements have been made with Mrs. Fremont Ward, of the Ann Arbor Associated Charities to furnish the Good Fellow Editor with names of needy individuals and families, and these names will be given out to any organization or persons who will un- dertake to provide the special needs which the Good Fellow Editor advises. In a letter which Mrs. Ward sent to the committee yesterday, she men- tioned that she has the names of sev- eral boys who will go Christmasless unless some Good Fellow steps ir She also mentioned that there are a like number of small girls who are in need of warm clothes, books and vari- ous other things, and she suggests that some of the organized bodies of wom- en on the campus undertake to care for these needy cases. There seems to be an impression or the campus that the movement is one which concerns only the men. The committee having the enterprise in charge wishes to announce that both men and women are invited to con- tribute to the general cause. The Good Fellow Editor and his as- sistant have had private telephones installed and they, or the assistant committeemen, can be communicates; with at any time during the day at either 1132 or 1649.
