Could 1, I would give everybody in this
great big world a Christmas present of all the
things ihey dare not even hope ,f or. For what
is truer to the glorious Yuletide spirit, which
even now fills the air, than a longing to ful
fill the fondest, most secret hopes of everyone.'
To bring greatest joy to the University of
Nebraska, I would drop in the appropriate
stockings the following gifts:
Daily Nebraskan editor: A great, big
burning sword not loo large, of course, to
manage.
Daily Nebraskan news staff: A small
reportorial staff and untrained.
Cornhusker editor: A miracle to succor
the finances of the j-carbook and all the
poor, poor staff.
The Awgwan: A collegiate taste for
dirty jokes and gore not humor.
The Innocents: A chapter of good look
ing boys with pull instead of real campus
leaders.
Mortar Hoard: A little influence over
collegiate elections to carry weight on
votes for members.
V. W. C. A. : A hypocrite or tw o maybe
acth ity girls.
A. W. S. : Some regulatory interest in
lives of university women even unto snoop
