COEDS PLAY SANTA CLAUS:
Boxes Packed For War Veterans

(4)

This week the chance was offered
tos the feminine population of the
campus to show off its proverbial
ingenuity in choosing the "right
gift." The various women's resi-
dences were asked to fill boxes for the
wounded veterans at Percy Jones
Hospital.
Already the girls have proved their1
stalents by turning in over seventy-
five boxes to the Undergraduate Of-
fice at the League. The deadline is
Friday.
A tour of the campus' residence
halls would provide a spur to any
Santa Claus. Martha Cook is proudly
displaying a table piled high with
forty boxes, many of which were
donated by individual girls.

Betsy Barbour is really going femi-
nine by adding the personal touch to
its boxes-individually designed for
specific types of patients-such as a
box for the soldier deprived of the
use of his hands.
Stockwell has already prepared
fifty-five boxes, while each of the
eleven corridors of Mosher is con-
tributing two or three boxes valued
at $6 each-far in excess of the $2
minimum. The student nurses living
at Couzens Hall have taken time off
from their hospital duties to pack
five extra large boxes. Jordan Hall's
freshmen have set a quota of twenty
boxes, but that didn't stop several of

the girls from filling extra individual
boxes.
Most of the sororities are planning
to donate a box for every two mem-
bers. Sigma Delta Tau has already
turned in eighteen.
Deborah Parry, '45, chairman of
the drive urged that all boxes be
turned in as soon as possible, so that
the Undergraduate office at the
League will not be swamped with a
few hundred boxes at a quarter to
five on Friday.
Miss Parry also asked that a list
of contents be fastened securely on
the outside of the box with tape orI
glue, as the lists have fallen off manyI
of those already turned in.

Prof. Palmer A. Throop, of the
Department of History, will deliver
the opening address of the French
lecture series at 4:10 p.m. today in
Rm. D, Alumni Memorial Hall.
Speaking on "La Pr6dication de la
Croisade," Prof. Throop will discuss
the determined efforts of the Papacy
to revive the popularity of the Cru-
sades. Interest in the religious move-
ment was waning in the 13th century,
and the methods used to arouse pub-
lic interest in France will be dis-
cussed by the speaker.

".f don't care how fast. o" shout-
ed. Sgt. Joseph R. Lemnay of Fitih-
burg, Mass., who has been in the
Army four years, overseas two years
and had two Sherman tanks shot
from under him. "If I have to take
a rowboat to get there, that's all right
too!"
It's different with Sgt. Charles
Rtomnaine of Stamf'ord, onn. is
reeord is like Lemay's and he wants
to sp~end Christmas with two Mrar-
Chas:.Mrs. Romaine a nd their two-
year-Fold daughter who was bornt
just after Charlie left the states.
"If I get there to see my kid at
long last and spend the holidays
with both of them it'll be the best
Christmas present I ever had."
Charlie grinned happily.
Reno E. Schnabel of Tripp, S.D.,
thought he was in trouble too. He'd
just been made a sergeant and was
busy sewing on his new stripes when
a company runner came up and said,
":Report to the old man."
"Oh Oh!" moaned Reno. "Won-
der what I've done now. Bet I lose
these stripes before I even get 'em
sewed on."
Fifteen minutes later he was
packing his bag with a big grin on
his face.
Reno is the Johnny-come-lately
among the five. He's been overseas
"only" 22 months now but nobody
begrudged dim his furlough after
the African, Sicilian, French, Bel-
gian, Dutch and German cani-
rpaigns-plus, two wounds.
All those things said about the
first three guys regarding time over-
seas, wounds etc., also applied to Pfe.
