You thought that finals was the end of me, but I’ve been reincarnated in the form of a Saturday class (choose the lesser of two evils). It’s just great getting back to waiting in yea long lines to buy books and walk ing over the campus mud and lime (awk, my suede loafers). Better yet, this crazy blazer and denim jacket weather— pretty soon it will be time to open my coke stand at Whip ples. But that can wait—ETH EL’S can’t, that is for you to come in and start the semes ter off right. We hope you made the Wonderland your shopping center for Valen tines. Hate post mortems, but we must say they were the greatest—to say the least. The birthday cards are still still abundant and magnifique. Cant tell a Coed from a College Joe With the way these gals have taken to Hathaways, button downs and tab collars. They’re classic all right and these girls wear ’em as well as their* big brothers. But how much more Ivy they would look with collar safety pins—plain or pearled. Or a slim arrow pin that looks like it was just snapped from a Commanche’s bow. Or just a gold clip for a neat finishing touch. Yes, no need to steal That Guy’s old Manhattan, we’ve come into our own,’ and they button on the right side to boot! Good things come in small packages Or let’s just say good things come in packages—especially those attractively wrapped. Any gift (excepting a bundle of 50’s) will be more appre ciated with bright, gay paper and saucy bow. ETHEL’S has the prettiest, most unusual in wrappings and ribbons, ever to be ripped off a gift. They’re fun to receive and fun to wrap these wrap pings are worth the extra ef fort. Why I wouldn’t accept a gift that wasn’t wrapped con decor—not even from ETH EL’S (Holdit, don’t tear up you r _ Collegian contract, I apologize). Be seeing you . . . lIS I. (OIIHE AVI.
