WC Legislature Approves
Two Important Resolutions
DORM FESTIVITIES
All over campus last week, the Christmas spirit was
in the air. Both sides of campus abounded with the
laughter of people who were happy and excited, though
weary. Everything and everybody combined to make
the season a gav one, and every dorm had its own
special event which made Christmas—whether it was
the first, one or the last one on the Woman's College
campus—a memorable time.
Over around the Quadrangle, the freshmen were en-loving
one of the nicest times of the year at this school.
The lighting of the Gray holly tree in blue is a tradi-t'onal
prelude to the yuletide season on campus. But
the Gray Hall spirit was carried out all through the
dorm; in the parlor, in the rooms, and in the game-room
Besides the reception after the Christmas Dance.
Gray had a gala Christmas party Tuesday night. After
the worship program, the girls will carry out an old
Norwegian custom of singing carols around the out-door
tree. A gameroom party will follow the singing.
Over in Shaw dorm parlor and room decorations
were typical of the cheery Shaw girls. They plan a big
Christmas dinner in Elliott Hall Tuesday night, after
which they will go caroling in the Quadrangle. Like
most of the other dorms, they had an open house after
the Christmas Dance.
With decorations in front of, around, and all through
Cotfen Hall, the Cotten girls planned a full schedule.
On Thursday night they had a dorm party; Saturday
night the traditional open house following the dance;
and tonight will see them caroling. On Monday night
the Reverend R. G. Tuttle, Methodist minister from
High Point, spoke to the girls. Instead ofchanging gifts,
the entire dorm is contributing to a CARE gift package
for a n*edv Greensboro family.
Across the street, Woman's Hall, with the big green
wreath on the door, carried out three major plans dur-ing
the last week. They held Open House on Saturday
night after the Christmas Dance, and on Tuesdav night
will have a Pollyanna party, for which gifts to
a charitable organization were planned, rather than an
exchange of gifts among the girls. In addition the vari-ous
rooms vied for prizes which were given for the most
original door and most impressive room as a whole, in
the decoration line.
Kirkland was also the scene Saturday night of an
open house, and on Mondav night was the scene of the
Good Fairies party. Santa Claus was there, passing out
presents to each girl from her good fairv. Each girl then
in turn presented the gift to the Welfare Department
to go to needy children.
On Friday night Coit was the scene of a spirit-raising
and pre-season Talent Show. Along with the other
Dorms, an Open House was the order of things on Sat-urday
night, and then on Tuesday night, they will
have a party complete with skits and refreshments.
Memories of Christmas in Jamison will always be
associated wi'h peppermint candy, the scent of smoke
from a lighted fireplace, and a festive, yet reverent
mood prevailing. Every year, "Miss C's girls" make it a
policy to keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas,
and celebrate accordingly. A Christmas worship service
was held, and the program for the party included a
traditional reading of Peter Marshall's inspiring, "Let's
Keep Christmas." But along with reverence and inspira-tion,
there was a lot of fun. as Santa Claus dropped in
for a short visit!
In Bailey, the emphasis has been on service to others
this Christmas. For several days before the holidays
arrived, the girls went out of their way to do favors
for each other, while the small gifts each one bought
were donated to the Salvation Army. Bailey's uproari-ous
parties are well known around campus, and there
was plenty of evidence of Santa Claus in the decorations
which festooned all the doors.
Hinshaw was decorated gaily in all the rooms, and
had a Christmas tree. Each girl in the dorm donated a
present which was turned in to the Welfare Service,
and the party, which was as loud and as gay as any on
campus, yet closed in the true spirit of the time with
the traditional carols and a special worship tonight.
At Christmas even upperclassmen lose their blase
look, and are just as excited as they were when they
were freshmen. From the parlor of South Spencer Mon-day
night came the melodious singing of Christmas
carols and the gay laughter of happy girls as the dorm
celebrated the annual Christmas party. All the girls
gathered around the fire in the parlor to sing and par-take
of delicious refreshments. Each one brought a small
gift to exchange. Following tradition, the gifts, usually

As 'Clearing House1
Of Hungarian People
'As a public service the Greens-boro

desiring to sponsor a Hun-garian
refugee family or Individ-ual.
The procedure has been made
very simple for any persons or
business firms who wish to help
these persons to shape I new hf»

A letter outlining In detail the
type of sponsorship Is all that Is
necessary. The letter need not be
notarized. The information con-tained
in the letter should Include
the type of Job offer, details on
wages offered, and working con-ditions.
There should also be in-cluded
the type of living accom
modations that can be made
available to a refugee family or
individual In detail. The housing
does not necessarily have to be
provided by the same person of-fering
employment, but may be
provided by someone else In the
same community. However, the
sponsor's letter must give a de-tailed
description of both the em-ployment
offered and the living
accommodations available. This
information Is to be given in one
complete letter, and *iot In two
separate ones.
The sponsor's eltter must also
mention one of the following three
agencies, who are currently han-dling
the refugee placement pro-gram:
1. The Church World Serv-ices,
2. The United Hebrew Immi-grant
Aid Society Services. 3. The
National Catholic Welfare Con-ferences.
The Dally News will
forward the sponsor's letter to the
proper agency after performing
its duties as a clearing house. The
tgency will match the sponsor's
offer with the best available fami-ly
