Subscription to Good Magazine
Makes Perfect Holiday Gift
. . . For Him (or Her)
By Lloydene Kershaw.
Do you have a friend on your
gift Hat who is an avid magazine
buyer ? If you do, then the logical
gift for him or her is a subscrip
tion to one of his favorite publica
tions. Hie magazine field is singularly
productive right now and there
are all types to suit varying
t&stcs.
Practically the Bible of the
fashion conscious coed is Made
moiselle, although Vogue, Harper's
Bazaar, You, Charm and Glamour
occupy their share of the lime
light. Varga, Well?
For the fellows (and gals as
well), you can be sure that the
inevitable Esquire will be received
with enthusiasm. Or if your pock
etbook is a trifle too flat to give
a year's subscription, buy him the
holiday giff package which con
tains the holiday issue and the
new 1942 Varga calendar.
The ideal magazine for someone
immersed in the current world sit
uation is either Life or Time. They
both contain extremely timely and
pertinent information concerning
latest developments in the Far
East.
The issue of Time that appeared
on the newsstands a day or so be
fore the outbreak of the war, for
example, had a picture of General
MacArthur, commander of U. S.
forces in the Far East, on the
cover and an excellent biograph
ical sketch of him among its
features.
For light entertainment and in
formation as well, we strongly
recommend the New Yorker, a
weekly, which would surely please
almost anyone on your list.
Tops among the digests is Read
er's Digest. This would be a par
ticularly appropriate gift for
someone who must do his reading
"on the run," because it is com
posed of the best current articles
that have appeared elsewhere, ex
pertly condensed to retain the gist
of it.
To be included in any list of
magazines which would make
ideal Christmas gifts, of course,
are Harper's and Atlantic Month
ly, although they are somewhat
more expensive than many of the
others.
Superior in the group of so
called "women's magazines," la
the Ladies Home Journal with its
"How America Lives" series. Mc
Call's and Women's Home Com
panion are definitely readable, too.
Give Practical
Gifts to Her
This Yuletide
Go practical, young man, go
practical. This year she doesn't
favor perfumes in glistening crys
tal bottles set in toy pianos or
miniature sleighs. She won't de
light in receiving fine cosmetics as
is usually the case. She does hot
want huge boxes of luscious candy.
Even the much relied upon jewelry
will hold no joy for her.
Rather, gifts tending toward the
things grandma would call suitable
are in order. Did you ever Imagine
giving such things as mittens, hot
just plain brown knitted ones; no,
nothing so unsentimental as that.
But some of the Tyrolean ones
with a white background. Or may
be she likes to skate. In that case
how about some warm, but brilliantly-colored
skating socks ? And
since the style is to wear anklets
all winter, why not strike the right
note with a pair of angora socks
in any one of the pastel iihades?
Even the worn-out gut of hand
kerchiefs is coming back. Then
too these little pixie caps of gleam
ing satin would suit any girl. In
an emergency you might give her
ear-muffs. But still the best, al
though not too practical gift, is a
picture of your own dear self.

Something new in Tennessee col
lege operation came into being thi.s
month with dedication of the joint
libraries of George Peabody college
for Teachers, Scarritt college, and

directed. In like manner its book
resources and services and all of
the other library resources and
services of the three co-operating

designed as one of the steps to
ward realization of a great reg
ional university center in Nash

"Lip-to-forehead" dancing was
condemned by the social standard
committee at the University of
Utah last week as the Utah Chron
icle carried a lead story telling of
the revolutionary changes made in
the social code on the campus.
The Utah social committee con
siders dancing a "graceful art"
and stated that in the future stu
dents will be asked to dance in the
"conventional" style. No more of

Final Deadline
For Cornhusker
Pics Saturday
Final deadline for fraternity,
sorority, and class pictures for
the 1942 Cornhusker has been
set for Saturday night at 5
p. m. Pictures and proofs must
be returned to the studio which
has been moved from Rudge
and Guenzelt to Miller and
Paines, second floor. According
to Shirley Russel, editor, this is
the absolute deadline.
tt
this cheek-to-cheek stuff; it isn't
"becoming."
This serious breac" of etiquette,
the Chronicle stated, came to
head recently when several UtaU
couples were asked to leave the
floor at a neighboring college be
cause of their dancing style.
Use Good Judgment.
Also a part of this committee'
plan to raise Utah social standard
was a recommendation that meri
use "good judgment" in the select
lion of corsages. No reason for
the inclusion of this clause in the
new code of campus etiquette was
given, however.
Socialite Utahans will, besidea
taking care that their dancing pos
ture is in "good taste," hereafter
great patrons of the dances and
help everyone to "get acquainted"
at matinee dances.
That's the way it is, out where
the west begins, where dancing
will be dancing from now on.
