EGE ROUNDUP:
Carolling Students Greet
Approaching Yule Holiday
By CRAIG WILSON
As first snows blanketed col-
legiate campuses all over the na-
tion, students finished typing up
term papers due before Christmas
vacation and celebrated in song
-traditional Yuletide carolling.
It rarely makes the pages of the
.ampus paper, but thousands of
icholars stamped frost-bitten toes
to the tune of "Adeste Fidelis"
before the forbidding walls of
women's dormatories and the
awesome silence of the president's
residence.

Program Extends
To AllCampusLife
Extending to all phases of cam-
pus life, Religion in Life week.
will be observed this year for the
first time in 20 years.
Similar to special religious pro-
grams- at other universities, the
plan has been pushed here by the
local Christian Student Directors
association.
THE PROGRAM will open
March 6 with an all campus as-
sembly in Hill Auditorium. Wor-
ship services, seninars and per-
sonal conferences will follow
throughout the week.
Religion in Life week plans
provide for national leaders to
talk with students informally
in classrooms and in organized
houses. Business and profes-
sional men interested in reli-
gion will go into classes to show
the relationship between their
field and religion.
President Alexander Ruthven
will act as honorary chairman of
the program and Prof. Lewis Hop-
kins, of the mathematics depart-
ment, is general chairman.
STUDENT LEADERS are Irma
Eichorn and. Bill Miller, vice
chairmen, Ann Schoonmaker. sec-
retary and John Chuchian, treas-
urer.

chairmen are Val Johnson and

President Herman B. Wells,
of the University of Indiana,
will spend the last few days
before the 25th gazing at a
large Christmas tree placed
there and trimmed by his office
staff.

Donations are to be given dir-

Students Get
Discounts in
Detroit Area
University students will be able
to take advantage of NSA's pur-
chase card system when it goes
into effect in the Detroit area
in January.
The plan, which allows students
to buy essential items with a dis-
count ranging up to 30 per cent
at stores which participate in the
system, will begin operation in
Detroit as soon as the national
NSA office approves contracts
signed with several stores.
NSA CHAPTERS at Wayne,
University of Detroit, Highland
Park Junior College and Mary-
grove College will participate in
the plan as well as the Univer-
sity.
When the plan goes into effect
in Detroit, the local NSA com-
mittee will sell purchase cards
to the students in Ann Arbor
for one dollar, according to
chairman Arlynn Rosen.
The cards will be good any-
where in the country where the
purchase card system is in ef-
fect. At present, over fifty col-
leges around the nation have such
a plan.
DISCOUNTS vary with the in-
dividual stores, Miss Rosen said.
NSA contacts many businesses
and accepts the highest discount
offered.
Essential items such as cloth-
ing, cleaning andfountain pens
can be bought at a discount
under this plan, she said. Fur
coats or jewelry are not count-
ed as essential.
Local stores have not yet been
contacted to see if they wish to
participate in the program, Miss
Rosen said. NSA will try to adopt
the program to meet the circum-
stances in Ann Arbor.
She said she hoped the local
stores would participate in the
program.
Young married couples will wel-

With the help of university stu-
dents, Saint Nick will have a well-
filled bag of gifts when he visits
Ann Arbor on Christmas Eve.
Many dormitories, sororities and
fraternities are sponsoring drives,
under the supervision of the
Christmas Bureau of Ann Arbor.
Clothing and money collected
during the drives, will be given to
Ann Arbor residents in need of
care.
THE NUMBER of needy fami-
lies in Ann Arbor is far greater

Needy Families of Ann Arbor
than most people realize. The
Christmas Bureau, working with
other charitable organizations,
has prepared lists of families and
individuals, which are to receive
aid during the holiday season.
The bureau serves as a clear-
ing house to which organiza-
tions bring the donations they
have collected. Thus, its object-
ive, which is to distribute these
donations to as many families
as possible and to prevent dup-
lication in Christmas giving,
can be accomplished.

'48T, one of the few local turkeys that survived Thanksgiving Day. Mel wouldn't talk to save his
neck and Jaroff had to run to save his. At last reports, both expected to be around for Christ-
mas dinner. The turkey is in the foreground.

THE ORIGINAL European ver-
sion of Saint Nick pictured him
as a tall, angular man who rode
on 'a bony, gray mare. Both the
horse and Saint Nick looked like
they hadn't had a good meal in
some time.
The early English settlers in
this country started giving Saint
Nicholas his "New Look."
However, this was only the be-

a cherry, and a round little belly.
