On Interviewing Committee

Names of coeds appointed to
serve 1as members of the new
s eagte Interviewing Committee
were announced yesterday by Jean
Louise Hole, chairman of Women's
Judiciary Council.
The women who will fill the
posts include Irma Eichhorn, Mar-
tha Cook; Barbara Hitchcock,
Betsy Barbour; Patricia Hanna-
gan, Delta Gamma; and Mary
Carolyn Wright, Alpha Phi.
The committee is to be in
charge of all petitioning and in-
terviewing for League positions,
and will supervise this procedure
for League Council, class proj-
ect, orientation adviser, and oth-
er League Committee posts.
The new group is to take over
this function, which was formerly
held by the Women's Judiciary
Committee. The latter group will
retain its duties of enforcement
of coed campus and house rules,
according to Miss Hole.
The Interviewing Committee
is scheduled to begin its work
next semester, with petitioning
and interviewing to be held for
the various League positions
throughout the spring term.
The committee will follow the

past procedure of holding inter-
views for applicants for the posts
open and then submitting its rec-
ommendations to the League
Council.

sisters knew so well.

Foreign Students
Give Children
Christmas Party
CHRISTMAS celebration at the
International Center consisted
of a children's party given Sat-
urday, December 14.
All foreign students on cam-
pus were invited, but the main
entertainment was for children.
Mrs. Laura Gray, Social Direct-
or, stated that the party had
been held every year since the
foundation was established in
1933. Last year 150 guests at-
tended, 55 of whom were chil-
dren of the foreign students.
A LARGE Christmas tree was
placed in the lounge at the
Center, and refreshments were
served. Santa Claus brought pres-
ents for each child, and animal
movies were shown. The Pres-
byterian Church Choir sang tra-
ditional Christmas carols.
The foundation will be open
throughout vacation, and Thurs-
day teas will continue as usual.
A great many of the students,
according to Mrs. Gray, use the
vacation period to see various
parts of the United States that
they wish to visit before going
home. She remarked that, while
to the students from non-Chris-
tian countries, this long vaca-
tion is very welcome, to those
from countries accustomed to
celebrating this holiday it is a
season of nostalgia for home.
1WO of the students, Mrs. Olga
Lopez from Venezuela, and
Mrs. Mary Tabosa from Brazil, ex-
plained how Christmas is celebrat-
ed in a Catholic family in South
America. A Christmas tree is in
every home, as well as the scene of
the birth of Christ in the man-
ger, which is set up twenty days
before Christmas.
In some homes, the whole
family attends midnight mass,
then come home to a large ban-
quet, where the adults open
their presents. The children
enjoy their Christmas in the
morning. However, Mrs. Lopez
added that in many Venezuelan
families, the children and adults
have a party together Christ-
mas eve, and all attend morn-
ing mass. The children wait
for Saint Nicholas in Venezuela,
or Papa Noel in Brazil, who puts
their presents in their boots or
beside their beds.
New Year in Venezuela, ac-
cording to Mrs. Lopez, is a family
celebration. All the various rela-
tives try to return home for the
party. They usher in the New
Year reunited with each other. In
Brazil, however, Mrs. Tabosa said
that New Ye'ar's eve is an occasion
for dances and parties at differ-
ent clubs and restaurants.
Both students agreed that the
Christmas season is no time to be
away from "la familia."
When drying print dresses, place
the towels inside so that the col-
ored surfaces do not touch each
other.
Think twice before pulling hair
forward on the cheeks-pulling it
back from the temples is the big-
gest single youthifier known.
When you're buying your va-
cation wardrobe select clothes that
harmonize and don't crush easily
or from which the wrinkles can be
steamed out by hanging above the
bathtub.

Social

A "get-acquainted" program for
league house presidents and mem-
bers of Senior Society has been
selected by the senior women's
honorary society as its project for
the year.
Each Senior Society member has
four league house presidents whom
she tries to know personally, ac-
cording to Shirley Hansen, presi-
dent of Senior Society. The women
in the league houses are advised
and helped by Senior Society
members through their house pres-
idents.
Senior Society members also
try to stimulate an interest
among league house residents in
extracurricular activities. They
contact the house presidents
personally and invite and urge
them to attend League func-
tions. Mrs. Bromage, assistant
Dean of Women in charge of
league houses, assists the So-
ciety's members with their proj-
ect.
Through a series of social events
the members hope to become bet-
ter acquainted with league house
women. The first function was a
tea to which the league house
presidents were invited. Other
events for the women in the hous-
es are being planned.
Women are tapped for mem-
bership to Senior Society each
fall and spring. They wear white
collars and blue bows the fol-
lowing day to show their initia-
tion to the society. Membership
is limited to 20 women.
Selection for tapping is based on
an interest in activities, active
participation in them and a good
scholastic average. Miss Marie
Hartwig of the Physical Education
Department is sponsor of the so-
ciety.

Jeans Will Be Worn to Ball

The Paul Bunyan Formal, to be
held from 9 p.m. to midnight Sat-
urday, Jan. 11, in Waterman Gym,
will climax a frenzied month's ac-
tivities by members of the forestry
school.
The Paul Bunyan will be strict-
ly formal, and the only formal at-
tire allowed will be dungarees,
plaid shirts, and long underwear.
Anyone caught wearing anything
else will be ridden from the dance
floor on a rail specially construct-

Intermission Program
Bob Strong's orchestra will pro-
vide music for the dancers. Dur-
ing intermission there will be a
program of gags and groups sing-
ing in dubious harmony, and griz-

rending version of "A Cold Win-
ter's Eve."
The mighty axe of Paul Bun-
yan is always on display on the
diagonal ,the week before the
dance, and every year groups of

If the same catastrophe occurs
again this year, the foresters swear
to avenge their hero by sending
out posses to ransack the campus
searching for the ax.
Rustic Decorations Foretold
The decorations for the dance
will turn Waterman Gym into a
veritable wilderness. No chairs will

there will be logs and plenty of
floor space. Rustic bars will be

serve potent cider to tired dan-
cers.
