Light Campus
Decorated Pines Put in League,
Natural Science Greenhouse
Christmas just isn't Christmas
without a tree, and trees are blossom-
ing all over campus to prove that
the old tradition still lives.
Lights were burning brightly in the
Natural Science greenhouse yester-
day morning at 8 a. m., thanks to the
Chi Omega house's Christmas spirit.
Wanting to bring some holiday
cheer to the whole campus, the Chi
Omegas decided to trim a Christmas
tree which could be seen and en-
ioyed by the entire student body.
Because of war-time regulations, the
idea of the traditional tree in the li-
brary was given up. One by one, lo-
^ations for the tree on the diagonal,
in Angell Hall, were rejected.
Finally settling on the Natural
Science greenhouse as the most con-
picuous place, the sophomores of
,he Chi Omega house and Professor
Armand J. Eardley of the Geology
iepartment decorated the tree as
their Christmas present to the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
The business staff of the League
!as put up two trees, a giant one,
afteen feet high, in the downstairs
'obby, and another in the grill room.
Both are trimmed with multi-colored
lights and bring the warmth of the
Yuletide season into the League.
The tree in the grill had an over-
cowering effect on one small visitor.
k little girl, 2 or 3 years old, left her
linner to stare solemnly at it for five
'ninutes. She couldbnot bedinduced
o return to her table, and finally
oacked out, still gazing at the tree.

'Yuletide Cheer
Christmas festivities in dorms are
in full swing, with dinners and car-
olling assuring coeds of the proper
Christmas spirit, irregardless of the
brief vacation.
Bright green holly and lighted red
candles greeted Betsy Barbour resi-
dents as they entered the dining
room yesterday for their annual
Christmas dinner, to find their gifts
placed on the tables. Later, the
women serenaded the dorm staff with
carols and Christmas songs.
Tomorrow Barbour girls will go
carolling, stopping at Dean Lloyd's
home and the dorms.
Stockwell Hall will have their an-
nual Christmas dinner today, with
Mrs. Robert Mercer and Mr. Mary C.

Michigan
Coed
Will Like
PRACTICAL OR OTHER GIFTS
<">
By JOAN WILK
Christmas may be less than a week
away, but don't let that fact worry
you, for local shops are still offering
a wide variety of gifts for that par-
ticular someone.
Although we don't want to dub
Michigan coeds as being self-cen-
tered, some super-sleuthing on our
part has gleaned very valuable in-
formation as to what feminine stu-
dents would like to find when they
wake up Monday morning. (This
time it won't be for 8 o'clocks.
Being a practical miss at heart,
our Michigan coed rates knitted
bed sox. as well as flannel pajamas
and nightshirts, high on her "pre-
,erred list." These would be espe-
cially popular with those who sleep
in dorms with several other coeds,
and where wide open windows are
the "fashion."
Since there is still plenty of cold
weather in store for Ann Arbor and
vicinity, mittens & gloves lined with
lamb's wool, in addition to hand-knit
or crocheted ones, will help keep our
coed's fingers warm.
Parents, as well as the "powers
that be" on campus, may not approve
of our coed's favorite garb of blue
jeans and a plaid shirt, but there's
no doubting the fact that on certain
occasions, they are extremely prac-
tical. A warm wool shirt would make
the combination "pre'ctical-plus,"
and in addition, would make a defi-l
nite hit.
But being frivolous as well as
practical, our coed will welcome
gifts that make her feel feminine
too. Cologne and perfume are al-
ways gifts that will please, and
several types of the former are
being offered. Cologne not only
comes in a liquid state, but is also
found in powder, cream, and stick
form. The stick form is convenient
for carrying in purses, and looks
very much like a lipstick.
If you've ever taken the time to
notice, you have discovered that a
goodly percentage of Michigan coeds
prefer small purses to carry on cam-
pus; and some carry none at all.
But don't let that fool you. If there
isn't one in evidence, it might very,
well be that they are carrying a com-
bination cigarette case, coin purse,
and billfold of pigskin or saddle
leather. These, too, would be a wel-
come addition to our coed's campus
wardrobe.
Other plastic cigarette cases with
matching compacts are being offered,
and they may be purchased in>the
same or matching colors. Cigarettes,.
themselves, are a problem, and a
package tucked into the toe of our
coed's stocking would almost make
her want to consider you a real
"Santa Claus."
Fire Hazards
Are Abundant
Anyone who wants to improve her
vocabulary the hard way can join the
WAA Dance Club and find out just
what a tour jete, a plie eleve, and an
entrechat are.
No experience is necessary to join
the club. It is for those who have
danced before and enjoyed it, or for
those who had always wanted to
dance but never had the chance.
There are members who have had,
sixteen years of lessons and members
who have had no lessons at-all, In
order to coordinate these different
levels of experience, the group starts
out with the same exercises and then
divides, to practice steps of graded
difficulty.
Three Different Clubs
There are really three different
clubs-the Ballet Club, the Modern
Dance Club, and the Tap Club. The
three clubs held a joint meeting yes-
terday, at which time each group
demonstrated what they had been
doing. Jean Parsons, '46; director of
the Dance Club, said, "I feel that
people interested in dance shouldn't
be narrowed down to just the one
field in which they have chosen to
participate, and we hope that the
joint meeting will interest the mem-
bers in other types of the dance."
The three different groups are plan-
ning a joint informal studio recital
after Christmas.
The Ballet Club is now working on
"The Waltz of the Flowers." Irene
Lager and Janice Bernstein are doing
the solos. The club hopes to give
"Peter and the Wolf" this year as a
real ballet, with scenery and cos-
tumes. The Ballet Club has been
asked to dance for a musical society
in Pontiac in January.
No Equipment Needed
No special equipment is needed for
any of the dance clubs. The Modern
Dance group wears leotards, the Bal-
let Club wears short skirts, and the
Tap Club wears shorts or slacks.
Members of all the groups have a
good time while improving poise, and
posture. Anyone interested in join-
ing afiy of the groups should call
Miss Parsons, 7142.
Former 'U' Student
Helps Adjustment
Of Fighting Men
Helping the individual soldier in
becoming better adjusted to Army
life and in equipping him mentally
as well as physically to be a more
efficient fighting man and citizen are
two of the jobs for which Lt. Anhe
X. Miskerik, daughter of Mrs. Anna
Miskerik of Milan, and a former stu-
dent at the University has been train-
ed in the WAC.
As an information and education
officer, Lt. Miskerik will aid in bring-
ing the War Department's Informa-
tion program to American troops all
over the world. The program in-
cludes increasing the soldier's under-
standing as to why we are fighting
by developing his know'ledge of the
background of the war and the na-
ture of our enemies, and aims 'to
keep him informed as to the course
of the war and the news of the
world, to strengthen his knowledge
of his personal contribution to the
defeat of the enemy.
In spite of the Christmas holi-
days, dormitory war stamp repre-
senatives are asked to pick up their
stamps and turn in their money
from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. tomorrow
and Thursday, Jan. 4, according to
Claire Macaulay, JGP dormitory
chairman.

Hospital Needs USO Announces
At
Christmas
Because of the abundance of
pre-Christmas blue books, the in-
formal get-together of all Bond
Belle captains and their team
members which was scheduled for
yesterday was called off. The pre-
sentation of engraved parchments.
to the teams and the individual
women who made outstanding rec-
ords while selling war bonds to
administration and faculty mem-
bers during the Sixth War Loan
Drive will be made at a future date.
'The figures for the total sales made
by each team will also be published
soon, according to Fran Goldberg,
chairman of the drive.
* "Give Jolly Old St. Nick a warm
welcome when he comes down your
chimney, but not an uncomfortably
warm' one."
In other words, be especially care-
ful to protect your home from un-
necessary fires this Christmas, ad-
vises the Safety Research Institute of
New York, in suggesting some simple
precautions to lessen the danger of
fires during the holidays.
Christmas tree ornaments and
tinsel are very flammable, so trees
should be placed more than a
"spark's throw" away from the
fireplace. Tree lights and cords
should be checked before decorat-
ing trees and Christmas lights
should be turned off when the fam-
ily leaves the house. Be prepared
for any fire emergency, however,
by having a hand extinguisher
within easy reach.
New fire-resistant decorative ma-
terials are now on the market as
substitutes for the usual flammable
tinsel, and these should be used
when available. The Safety Research
Institute, especially emphasizes a plea
to resist the temptation to use can-
dles on your Christmas tree.
Stockings by the chimney are a
part of the Christmas tradition,
and this custom can be retained
safely if the stockings are hung
well above the flames of the Yule-
