A Fortune Necessary If UN Shoppers
Would Satisfy Christmas List Friends
Girls Want . . .
Men Want
By June Jamieson.
When we canvassed the campus
to find out just what the boys in
the back room would have in the
way of Christmas joy, we found
that a girl's going to have to be a
millionaire or a magician to ful
fill those' desires.
Take DU Dick Geesaman, for in
instance. . .Richard's heart is set
on a sorority pin with no pref
erence as to the kind or owner.
If that can't be done, he'd like a
full bank account, with unlimited
reserves. Kappa Sig Bill Robinson
wants a four month vacation in
stead of the usual two week job.
All ZBT Ray Grimes wants is
a black convertible roadster with
red upholstery and lots of chro
mium he isn't even particular
about the make, just so it's a
Chrysler or DeSota. And ATO T.
Miller wants a pair of red and
white striped pajamas.
Scheming Huwaidt.
With Eloise Hainline listening
from around the corner, Beta
Larry Huwaidt shouted that he'd
rather have a combination cigar
ette case and lighter "preferably
with the Beta crest and my
initials," than anything else in the
world. Delt Art Lincoln wants a
Japanese house-boy.
When we asked Phi Psi Dave
Walcott his preferences in the way
of Christmas gifts, he sighed heav
ily, sang two verses of the national
anthem and said. "All I want is
a nice shiny rifle, but don't bother
getting it for me. I think -there's
one all picked out for me and
with my name on it." Sigma Nu
Paul Svoboda's going cosmopoli
tan if he gets his Christmas wish.
And it'll be a bright blue smoking
jacket with a Russian insigna on
one pocket. Pink Rag Peterson
wants a long cigarette holder and
an automatic bowling scoreboard
that'll automatically give him 300
everytime he rolls a line.
Christmas
Etiquette
For those unfortunates who
haven't done their Christmas shop
ping early, here are a few cardinal
rules of Christmas gifting which
should guide you in the choice of
a gift for the one and only, male
or female.
If your problem is to give or not
to give, then just review the length
of acquaintance. A boy may safely
bestow gifts after he has known
the girl for a fairly good length of
time; the girl, however, should
wait until she's known the boy for
a long while unless, by some sort
of crystal globe, she's discovered
that he plans to give her some
thing. This is usually more than a
problem, so if you're in doubt,
don't give anything. It's much bet
ter to refrain than to seem too
forward about the thing.
The subject of giving pictures
la a touchy one, and all authorities
agree that pictures should not be
given unless they are exchanged
or specifically asked for. We're in
clined to be a little lax on this
rule, tho, and tell you to go ahead
if that's what you're giving this
Christmas.
Please Send Him
What He Wants,
J Cause She Won't
Please send Joe a necktie for
Christmas. There is nothing that
that fellow wants more than a
red necktie with candy stripes, but
do you know what he's going to
get? A set of dishes.
I'm writing for him because of
the position he is in. You see, he's
pinned to a UN coed who won't
consider buying him a necktie. She
has her mind set on sending him
a set of dishes in anticipation of
"that" day. And the pinning elimi
nates presents from any other
girls.
So, please S. C, take care of
Joe. Send him a red necktie with
candy stripes, and to make the
hoax complete and to make him
happier, sign it Betty. Yours,
The Staff.

With everything in his Knap
sack ranging from a Buick cov
ertible to a fur coat, Santa Claus
is going to have a tough time
squeezing down Nebraska chim
neys. Since this is our last real
Christmas until after the war, ac
cording to government officials,
Chris will probably splurge, by
trying to satisfy all campus coeds
and wait until next year to tighten
his belt. And from the looks of
things to come only Santa could
satisfy the coeds; for most of their
desires are in the high price field.
Take Jo Beckley, Alpha Phi, for
example. All she wants is a torpedo
Buick covertible with white side
walls. With patriotic fervor she
said when interviewed, "I'll give
up the white sidewalls for national
defense."
Most fellows on the campus
would be very willing to satisfy
the first part of Betty Winn's, also
Alpha Phi. request. "I'd like a boy
friend and a red fox chubby," says
she.
"After that football game be
tween the Daily Nebraskan and
the Cornhuskers, I don't have
much faith in newspaper repor
ters," said Shirley Russel, editor
of the Cornhusker and unaffili
ated. "But you can quote me as
saying that I would like a port
able radio so that I could hear the
latest flashes."
