WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1945 ri'UP V lIT T r -°A k1 T Y- A1TT Hospital Boxes To Be Donated By Residences Patients at Percy Jones Center Will Receive Christmas Gifts Given by University -Student Christmas boxes for soldiers in Percy Jones Hospital must be turned in by 5 p.m. Monday to the Social Director's Office in the League. The boxes are being prepared b campus residences at the request o: the Washtenaw County chapter o. the American Red Cross. Each resi- dence has been asked by the chap.- ter to donate one or more of th( boxes, which will be sent as Christ- mas :presents to bedridden soldiers at Percy Jones. A poll taken among the wounde( soldiers indicated that almost 90 per cent of these men preferred a few substantial giftsk to many small of useless articles. Most of the pre- ferred gifts fell within the three tc four dollar price bracket. Most popular gifts were listed by Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Bastion, com- mander of the Percy Jones Hospita Center, as pen and pencil sets, cig- arette lighters, billfolds, box cameras toilet kits, smoking tobacco, cigar- ette cases, writing kits, pipes, leathei belts, knives, watch straps, bec lamps, tie pin sets, books, key cases. and playing cards. Although the war is over and mangy soldiers have been discharged, the population of the Percy Jones Hos- pital Center is almost twice as great as it was last Christmas. This yeai there will be 9,000 patients at Perc3 Jones on Christmas day. The minimum cost for each box is $2, and the maximum is approxi- mately $4. Each box should have a list of contents placed on the out. side, so that the officers at the Cen- ter will be better able to distribute the gifts. All of the articles should be wrapped as Christmas presents. Ac- cording to Jean Gafiney, treasurer of the Undergraduate Council and chairman of the Christmas box proj- ect, a card giving the names and ad- dresses of the donors would make the gift more interesting to those receiv- ing them. Enclosure of the card is optional, however. Gen. Bastion said, 'This year, as; last, we suggest this criterion for gifts: 'Don't send anything you wouldn't send a son, brother, or; friend.'" Items which have been" listed as undesirable include food, I liquor, magazines, jigsaw or cross- t u 1. i 1it( ivii1ii A±I. ALI PAGE FIVE I I a i Winter Sports Require Proper Warm Clothing Now that the snow season has be- un in earnest, the wise coed will be hinking about winter sport clothes. Ann Arbor offers a variety of sports or enthusiasts, skiing, sledding and obogganning on the hills in the Ar- oretum, skating in the indoor rinks s well as the parks.and long walks >ver the winter countryside. Each of hese sports has an attire that has jeen especially designed for it . . , for f naximum comfort and warmth. 'kiers Dress Warmly Skiers all know that the best outfitj s the one with the least bulk and the nost warmth. Sleek downhill trousers ;ith wool interlinings and a poplin acket form the best combination. If he day is particula'fly cold, extra weaters may be added. More warmth s obtained by many light layers of Iothing than by one heavy garment1 . . so pile on the jerseys and take :)ff that sweat shirt! Sledders andh boganners wear! ;he same clothes as the skier, but here warmth is even more important, since t is a relatively 'quiet' sport - (no 'ancy turns down a steep hill). Furry nittens and socks are needed, as well is tight-fitting boots or galoshes. Skaters Choose Skirts Skaters who really know their fig- ires, will wear brief outfits in order o give themselves enough action- 'oom. Those who are less sure of ,heir 'fourteen step' will perhaps wear! i longer skirt, or slacks with a sweat- y 4" !Ruthvqert Teas For Students To Begin Today F 5 fThe first Ruthv en Tea of the se- , ,,; mester will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today at the home of President is r f and Mrs. Alexander G.

'A 3e a By LOIS KELSO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ever anxious to bring sweetness and light into the drab lives of the student body, has done it again. Sparing no expense, they have produced and distributed a set of original engravings which would have made Gustave Dore turn green with envy. These little gems, whimsically referred to as "identification cards," are now enriching the life of every student on campus. Many of us probably do not realize how signally favored we are; after all, one doesn't see very many things like those ident cards around today. I might go so far as to say I've never seen anything like them. THERE HAVE BEEN many speculations as to the purpose of this yearly gift on the part of the University. The official explanation of the atrocity is that they are intended for us in getting books out of the library, gaining admission to basketball games, and other innocuous activities. To this suggestion I can only reply, with a certain touch of hauteur, that while the University may be entirely devoid of humane spirit, I am not, and I have stopped drawing books out of the General Library. I feel that life there must be harrassing enough without having to look at my ident card.
