. 1 -- - I COLLEGE ROUNDUP* A Sixth Graders Slam Neighbor Badgers By CRAIG WILSON Sixth Grade students near the University of Wisconsin campus ne criticizing their elder fellow students for allegedly littering the area with cigarette butts, guml wrappers and assorted flotsam. "We have our playgroundse at Longfellow School clean," they hinted. "WE PICK UP all our papers, gum and candy wrappers, school papers (Daily Cardinal) and all kinds of papers. What can you do to keep your playground clean?" According to the Daily Cardi- nal, which incidentally was vot- ed No. 1 collegiate newspaper by SDX, Badger students had their heads high enough in the lofty clouds of academic concern not to be aware of the world about them. A survey brought out many: "I nadn't noticed ..." ** * BUT STUDENTS were ready to gaze when fire broke out in a Cambridge, Mass., haberdashery. More than 500 Harvard students appeared on the scene to watch firemen extinguish a fire in the Harris tweed section of the shop, according to the lead of an article in the Crimson. IF THEIR GAZE had been di- verted in another direction, edi- tors of the Harvard Lampoon might have discovered that their rival, the Dartmouth Jacko, had masqueraded as a "slick in lam- poon's clothing," to sell copies of their issue on the Radcliffe camp- us, according to the Dartmouth. The Jacko was disguised with a fake Lampoon cover and smuggled into Cambridge. Best gag in the Jackolampoon was an advertisement reading: '4, "Which twin has the Phoni?" Po- lice found it so interesting, they nicked up 700 copies to take home. STUDENTS DIDN'T get away Nith murder when they "Killed" a fellow Lambda Chi Alpha fra- ternity member at University of Washington, according to the U. of W. Daily. Officially referred to as the "Catsup Murder," the case in- volved an intricate plan to bump off a student. The victim first spread rumors that someone was 'out to get him." Then in the dark of evening he lolled outside the front door of the Lamb house making sure everyone knew he was there. A shot was fired, students rushed out and found him smeared with "blood." They hauled him to an automobile conveniently waiting and con-; spirators whisked the victim off to the hospital. The recovery was, of course, speedy. All involved were restricted to the campus, had to be in at 10 p.m. every- night and were turned over to the Municipal Court on disorderly conduct charges. * * * THEY WOULD HAVE known their fate, however, if they hadt consulted a fellow University of Washington student who appearsl to have extrasensory powers to forsee the future and read ther pages of people's minds. Although his feats have donet everything but win him famet and fortune, the scholar told the U. of W. Daily his powersI won't work on exams. "All that ever comes through ist a jumble of ideas. Just like staticc on a radio," he said. He does not get all-A's, but his exams rate., COLLEGIATE NEWSPAPERS are optimistic animals-despite Hell and high halfbacks they are still ready to go out on a mathe- matical limb to support the home team. Our case in point comes from the University of Pittsburgh Pitt News which headlined: "PITT GRIDDERS EYE UP- SET OVER UNDEFEATED LIONS." The Panthers were winding up a so-so-season against the Lions -the Nittany Lions-the unde- feated, high riding Penn State powerhouse. But Pitt took the game 7-0 when a tackle, who had never carried a football in his life, found himself in possession of the pigskin and bringing home the bacon. So collegiate newspapers will continue to keep on the sunny side of the campus and schools will play football. Department Store Sales Show Drop WASHINGTON-(UP)--Depart - ment store sales in the first week of the Christmas shopping season ran below last year for the fifth consecutive week. The five week decline is the longest since the war. If continued through Christmas, the decline will make 1948 the first in eleven years to show a poorer dollar vol- ume of department store sales than the preceding year. The decline in the Dec. 4 week was nation-wide. Since price averages are higher this year than last, the decline in dollar volume indicated an even greater decline in quantity of goods sold. Coeds Ask Santa Claus For Gowns With a gala Christmas season coming up many coeds are hop- ing that Santa Claus will bring them a new formal to brighten the numerous parties during va- cation. Styles do not as a general rule change much from year to yeanr in formal wear, but even to an unprejudiced eye this winter's crop looks extraordinarily lush. * * * SATINS and taffetas are reap- ing top honors for popularity. The favorite colors are in the pastel. range, but white seems to be gain- ing more admirers as "The" color of the season. Strapless gowns are still tops with the college crowd, but. the off- the- shoulder neckline is generally conceded to more flattering. Shoe-string straps are used quite often to break the unbroken top expanse. The most recent innovations which add to the bouffantness of a whirling skirt are corded bands and quilting which add weight to the bottom. Touches of gold em- broidery and lace are rising in vogue. Bustles and padded hips are featured on almost 50 per cent of the formals in current collec- tions. S* * * THE KEYNOTE of all recent designs is a romantic look, which is emphasized by flat gilt and sil- ver sandals, tiny evening bags of mesh, velvet, and brocades, and slippers with a baby Louis heel, in satin or velvet dyed to match a favorite formal. Short gloves for dancing is a pretty custom that is being revived. SIX MORE DAY TO PAROLE .. . Delirious with joy, a blue- book-weary Law student contemplates 16 days of wine, women and song..le and many others like him will wend their way homeward next week-end to points north, south, east and west.

In recent years, manufacturers have realized this, and packets containing matched and con- trasting wrapping materials have gone on the market. All one need do is use a bit of ingenuity to pro- duce a package that will be an eye-catcher. THERE ARE many decorative roads open to those who would prefer dabbling in their own cre- ativeness. Amazing use can be made of decorative tree orna- ments, holly berries, pine cones, bells, old Christmas cards and even discarded bits of yarn. Try using some plain white paper when wrapping one package. Decorate i t with Christmas seals or, if you weild a brush, some holiday scenes of your own. Now wrap the gift again with either clear or color- ed cellophane, make your choice of ribbon, and that's that. It is always fun doing-up child- ren's gifts too. Santa Claus deco- rations, made from absorbent cot- ton with the aid of a paint box and a few dabs of paste, warm the heart of any child. Watch this wrapping find a place of its own, apart from mangled piles of paper and ribbon that litter the room. CHRISTMAS cards received it past years can still serve double duty. Use the picture or scene fromn a card as part of your design scheme. This will also eliminate the need for a name card. Merely apply your greeting at the bot- tom of the card. Gifts are always appreciated much more when the giver makes them seem more personal. This personal touch may also go - for the manner in which the gift is wrapped. Try to think what would be pleasing to the particular person receiving the gift; carry that Christmas spirit of trying to please even to the wrappings. the "EYES" have it when you wear - N YL Y N 7 Jr NYON Fine Feathers nylons are little more than a mist on your skin-add glamor to the new long skirts, drama to Paris born shoes.
