Yet with JIiss (trace Margaret Morton it was easy last year, and it is easy now to pay tribute to an outstanding instructor and textile scholar. The home economics department suffers a keen loss in the passing of Miss Morton, who was associate professor and head of the textiles and clothing division. She came to the university 23 years ago and has developed one of the country's important divisions in the field of textiles and clothing, both because of her keen insight and because she was progressive and constructive in her thinking about prob lems pertaining to the curriculum. As need arose, new and timely courses were introduced ever a necessity in this changing educational world. Miss Morton was greatly admired by her students, her colleagues and her many friends, all of whom feel her passing as a distinct personal loss. Her teaching and personality are irreplaeable. Her recent book, "The Arts of Costume and Personal Appearance," which has received a most enthusiastic re sponse, has the distinction of being selected as one of the 60 most outstanding textbooks in the field of art. In years to come this work will stand as a symbol of the unusual person who wrote it. 'Gift Coeds' . . . (Continued from page 1.)

Colin Lewis didn't think Nebraska had anything to offer for what he wanted but Santa looked in his little black book and found smooth Theta Ginny Malster who fit the bill to a tee. After the presentation the six couples descended the stage steps to the dance floor and danced to the strains of "White Christmas." Santa Claus then circulated thru the crowd throwing candy and cigarets to the dancers. Forgotten Lovely? Then there was the little black sheep with "dilusions." Just after Santa had presented the last gift coed, a creature In long black stockings ulightly ragged at the knees, pig tails done up in loud bows, obnoxious freckles, buck teeth, and wearing a short cotton creation with a dipping hem ap peared on the stage and said in a mild roar, "Hey, you've forgotten me." No one in the audience seemed to think that this "lovely" was the answer to his Christmas 'dream. Santa Clans was portrayed by Sgt. Aaron Long of the STAR unit and Betty Rhodes was the creature with the teeth. YWCA . . . (Continued from page 1.) be made at the YWCA office no later than Monday noon.
