Pretty Women In Nightshirts Are Back Again Chattering teeth and goose pimples are threatening signs of the ap- proaching of cold winter nights,r oleepy heads, so here's a bit of advice sent down from Igloo College, Igloo, North Pole. This advice should be of particular interest to dark dorm intruders, sinus sufferers, and those who have to con- tend with insomnia due to frigid breezes. It also may be of help to you unfortunates who find yourselves in rooms with stubborn radiators-or should we say-stubborn landladies. Well, fellow sufferers, .nightshirts are back in vogue, only this time with trimming-yes, smart looking white flannel outfits with red emboridery on the high neckline and pockets with long white sleeves puffed at the wrist. You can even have your name embroidered on these warmth insur- ers. For those who want complete pro- tection from the draft-don't get ex- cited; we're not talking army-we' suggest Dr. Dentons, that come in all colors now. They will bring you back to consciousness or else smother you in the attempt. Of course,"if you're "the conservative type, there's the plain man-tailored flannels, but don't come to us if these prove to be in- sufficient to combat the weather. Accessories for cold-dorm sleep rs include bed socks, bed mittens, and night caps. Don't forget that for cold ears, babushkas are as good at night as for daytime wear. Union's New Year's Eve Dance i- To Highlight Ann Arbor Holidays WAAntics By SHAPPY Horns, Aspirin To Be Given;i Gala Entertainment To Feature Toe Dance By Twinkle Sawyerj If you think Ann Arbor's going 1 to be a dead town for two weeks, you're right!-except for the possible exception of one night (said Sawyer waving a blackjack) when localites and people from surrounding towns move into the Union Ballroom from 10 p.m. to - - -, Dec. 31. The dance is dubbed the Union's Annual New Year's Eve Party and it's! traditional, having been held as long as anyone can remember. Bill Saw- yer and his orchestra will play forj the evening, the exact time at which it is to end has not been determined. Twinkle Toes' Sawyer Feature off, the evening will be a toe dance a Tla Nijinsky by Bill Saw- yer who has been pyacticing with his toes for years-the toe dance, during intermission, will probably be wit- nessed in the normal sense by a very " few people. There will be foot doctors at each door to take care of sore feet as they accumulate ,during the evening and Dr. Brace will be present with a huge box of aspirin to come to the aid of all who become somewhat indisposed.

During a beneath-the-piano inter- view with Sawyer he emphatically asserted that everyone is invited, even those underprivileged individu- als without Union cards. Ticket price will be slightly, oh so slightly, in- creased, Sawyer said, slurring over it quickly. Anything But Safe "Why head for either coast when you can head for the Union," Sawyer said, chuckling at his little joke. "New GOLFSIDE STABLES Breakfast Ride Su'nday 9.15 A.M.

Wild Bill Sawyer con- tinued with his dissertation in mono- tone voice "besides, it will last until' everybody is happy beyond compare." The maestro has whipped up a few special arrangements for this auspi- cious occasion including: "Embrace- able You" to be sung by Gwen Coop- er, "Papa Piccolini" and "Huckle- berry Duck" by Big John and the qualtet, a sparkling new arrangement of Revel's "Bolero" and the initial audition .of "Blue Prelude." SaintNicho.as Has Undergone Metamorphosis By JEAN GILMER He may be one of our most dis- tinguished citizens now, especially around the Christmas season, but once upon a time in his long career, Santa Claus fell into disrepute. For a time after poor Saint Nich- olas served as a kindly bishop of Asia Minor somewhere around 300 A. D., but.there came a period that we are inclined to overlook-when. he was the patron saint of thieves. So seri- ously did he take his job, that Eng- lish highwaymen were once known as "Saint Nicholas' clerks!" Turned Over NewLeaf When he removed to Niuw Ams- terdam along with the early Dutch settlers, the old gentleman decided apparently to turn over a new leaf- for he even changed his name when he took up residence here. A natur- alized citizen so to speak, "Sankt Klaus became Santa Claus to all good little American boys and girls. As evidence of his complete refor- mation we now find him shedding his kindness on bad little boys and girls instead of just goody-goodies. Young mischief makers, formerly ap- prehensive of waking on Christmas morn only to find the little worn shoes placed outside the door filled with a handful of cinders, now looked forward to the occasion. It's The American Way Now Times have indeed changed from the time when the upstart of the household hid from the old Saint's "Good Will" emissaries bringing can- dy for the others but a switching for him. Santa learned the American way of life when he and his helpers came to their New World. Christmas came to be celebrated by young and old, rich and poor alike. Now a con- glamoration of traditions borrowed from Europe-such as the Christmas tree we inherited from pagan Ger- many-and new contributions-such as the tropical, native poinsettia- Christmas as we know it is now defi- nitely AmerPaan tradition. CORRECTION Red Cross knitting yarn may be secured at the Production Head- quarters on Catherine Street in- stead of in the Wolverine Building as formerly announced. p.________________________________"""_ War reaches down into WAA, on this eve of vacation, for from the Rifle club comes the news that the University women's team challenged the women's team of the University ofr Hawaii at Honolulu to a telegraphic match. At the same time, our team was challenged by that team; the in-t vitations crossed in the mail. Since that time there has been no word from the war front and riflers fear that the match will be definitely called off. In addition, word has come from several colleges that their rifle clubs have been discontinued because the army is calling all ROTC instructors. Because of our large unit here, how- ever, there is nothing to worry about on that score, Nan Filstrup has an- nounced. Latest news from the basketball front is that Zone VI has defeated Pickerell Cooperative, 16-7, Mosher II has downed Kappa ,pelta, 19-4, and that Alpha Chi Omega gained a bloody victory over Zeta Tau Alpha, 24-7. Ann Arbor Indepen- dents II were victors over Chii Omega, 21-16, Alpha Gamma Delta over Adelia Cheever, 11-8, Jordan over Betsy Barbour, 7-5, and Mar- tha Cook over Delta Delta Delta, 26-5. Collegiate Sorosis downed Gammaj Phi Beta, 15-3, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, 10-6 and defaults were Palmer Cooperative to Delta Gamma; 2-0, and Theta Phi Alpha to Mosher I, 2-0. Overalls, blue jeans and slacks { have been the usual costume on the courts, but shorts, skirts are much in evidence too. When there were- n't enough yellow "pinnies"-the little aprons used to distinguish the teams-to you athletic illiterates- a yellow head scarf furnished by one of the spectators became the identifying mark. Since the ultra - super - colossal "Swimgala" of. last week-end, Miss Thomas, swimming instructor and sponsor of the swimming "open hour" has reported eight volunteers for a water ballet group to be worked up by the group. Here's to better and more graceful and more interesting ballet work! At the leadership training club meeting held Monday, the comers were introduced into the group as they would be at a mixer . .a mixer type of game was used to get them acquainted, a practical demonstration of how and what the group will be working on. Miss Har-twig, mainstay extraordinaire, outlined the program of Civilian -Defense Organization, exlaiing the different levels of national, re- gional, state and local divisions to the girls. Six general meetings going over various phases of leadership training work, will be held and thereafter the work'will be specialized. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the pro- gram will be applicable to any size group. Girls, after this course, will have a background of practical ex- perience to guide them in leading a group of two or a group of 200. At the next -meeting ,which will be held at 4:15 the Monday after vacation, in the Dance Studio of Barbour Gymnasium, folk dancing will be the order of the program. * * Success! That's the keynote of the new dance groups. American country dance group had more boys than girls at the first meeting, so who said that the ratio ain't what it usta be! Bet- ter get out and dance, gals, dance! The ballet group also was most suc- cessful at its first meeting.

Once they get started they'll want to take it home and finish it to the last stitch. Of course, you 'Love On A Bicycle' is Really A Tandem It was erroneously reported in yes- terday'soDaily that Gordon Hardy, Grad., composed the popular song hit, "Love on a Bicycle." The editors wish to make the cor- rection. The -title of ttre song is "Love on a Bicycle For Two," and it was written by Jack Grady, '42, and John Fletcher, '45E, as well as Hardy wrote 14 of the 23 songs feat- song writers on campus, Gordon Hardy wrote 24 of the 23 songs feat- ured in the 1942 Union Opera, "Full House." 0 IN L , w _____ , __.®.__. _ i° Jersey Formal Is Outstanding For Vacation But a few days remain until the forthcoming social events will whirl you up to thb clouds, and won't let you down again until that dismal Monday when classes and not parties occupy your mind.
