WhaiCIvd&intaii 9fkanA io Win Christmas vacation starts offi cially Saturday noon, but if you're leaving at any time from now on be careful that you don't get tram pled in the rush of collegians try ing to get out of town. It might be interesting to imagine what all the students are going to be doing for the next couple of weeks. (It might be interesting, though it probably wc4vt, but read on sucker.) The two extreme types of stu dents will continue, or in some cases just begin, to peruse their textbooks. The PBK's, or is it KPB's, will continue their mental labor trying to improve their 96 averages. At the other end of the scholastic scale those unfortunates who received windowed -envoi opes from the Dean of Student Affairs this week may find it well to open their books during vacation, creas ing the pages carefully to prevent breaking the binding. In fact T. J. said in his letter, "... students in considerable number have used a portion of their Christmas vaca tion to advantage in reviewing subjects in which they are having difficulty ... I urge you to try it." Others will go from the campus to find some means of picking up a little of that root of all evil over the holidays. The department stores will probably need as many extra employees after Christmas to exchange gifts as they will be fore to sell them. Many unique jobs are available at this season. Several music majors hoDe that at Christmas time Western Union will have openings in positions where vocal ability is important. Joe Wolf, president of Iota Feela Thigh, states that he woull like to hire a coed to fill Xmas stock - BY KILLJOY. When I was a youngster I used to get up tarly in the morn ing and rush down to open my presents to see what Santa Claus had left me. During the war, everything was different. Shortages were all around us, the stoppage of pro duction made Christmas seem dif ferent. There is no war. No presents. Eefore I used to get enjoyment from eating too much at a big Christmas dinner. Now I can't eat a,.big dinner Hangover. Catching the Spirit. On Christmas Eve, I hope I can catch the spirit and cheerfulness of the season, especially the spirits. , Before sugar plums used to dance before my eyes. Now all I can see is my nose. But Christ mas means more than these trivial items. There are formals, parties. ana jolly good times. I come face to face with vacation with a mo tive to study and a desire to play. But After Vacation. But remember, two and one- half weeks after we come back from vacation that wonderful time that freshmen dread, sopho mores abhor, juniors cannot stand and seniors know darned well they can't live through, is here. FINAL WEEK! When all you kiddies write that letter to Santa Claus asking for a new convertible, fur coat or eli gible bachelor, be sure to include a brief wish that you, too, can exist through three hour finals.

When they come back a large percentage instead of speak ing of their one and only will be saying, "None and Lonely." A few people on the campus may devote the holidays to Christ mas Cheer. I mean the type of person who says, "Enough of "this fooling around. Let's get down to some serial drinking." They'll see to it that the next fortnight will be no holiday for Tom and Jerry. By January 6 they won't even be able to tell black from white, but the Black and White will tell on them. They'll return to the campus tap ping around with a cane, they will have been blind for so long. I'm sure that this group men tioned is a small one and that most of us will spend a sober vacation.
