Woolworth's sold out all their decorations August 15, so start shredding cigarette tinfoil for tin sel now. It's the economical way, anyhow. It's exceedingly unwise to de cide what you are going to buy or to make out a shopping list before you start out you'll just have to take what you find. After all; it's the thought behind the gift, and all you can find for your grandmother is a copy of The Hucksters, just give it to her. together before you give it to her. The cover is pretty, and it will look nice on the shelves. Shop at Once. Do all your shopping at once. too. If it should snow soon, you can rent a sled and a brace of Eskimo dogs and "mush" madly clown the streets and up to the bargain counters. Keeps your arms free for shoving, too.

Printing your own can be successful, too, when you get to know the right people. So take heart beat the crowds and the last minute rushes and buy now!

I sneaked a peak at the alarm clock strapped to my dainty wrist and shuddered violently. It was almost time. I sneaked down the dimly lit hall to the stairs and casually stumbled down the first flight. The second flight I took a little more gracefully. Banisters are a wonderful invention. But on with my story. I again looked at my time piece. "He is late," I muttered anxiously. Set ting myself in a dark corner, I thought over the first six weeks of school and six weeks teste. Ugh! I wish $1 didn't have such a mad passion for coffee. Per haps my professors just don't understand. Here Comes Mailman, The door opened and a heavily laden man stepped in, deposited a stack of mail large enough to give Pike'sPeak some heavy competion, and then departed as silently as he had come. Summing up what was left of my failing courage, I began to sort the mail. Funny thing how every one gets so much around the first of the month. But as I was saying, I sorted the mail. There were a few lucky girls who got leters from home and J, I'm a!! over the map at once" TT certainly keeps me on the go . . . my job of distrib- uting equipment and supplies to the Bell Telephone companies throughout the nation.

(My English teacher groans over my gram mer, too.) For the first time since school began, my box was full. I'm sure every professor on this campus remembered me! Carrying my stack of downs" to my secluded room, I seated my self cross-legged on the fgloor. (Little trick I learned as a camp Fire girl in Wahoo.) Will Campus Change. I began meditating upon how radically the campus would change if everyone took seriously these official looking little notes. Overnight the University of Ne braska would be a different and gruesome place. Week-end dates would un doubtedly be broken so that more time could be spent writing term papers and studying for the "little quizzes" professors delight in ad ministering. Those now registered for fores try lab would be anxiously stand ing where they might increase their "learning." There would be a new addition to the already crowded library. Instead of spending allowances for entertain ment, students would swarm to the bookstores to spend extra pennies for volumes of Plato and Aristotle. After dinner bridge games would be a thing of the past. No more requests for dim lights would be tolerated and midnight oil would burn long after mid night. Suddenly I felt pangs of hunger and a yearning for coffee. After all six weeks tests come, and six weeksh t estswill go. So will down slips.
