Lib Lindsay Aids In Choosing Gifts Boys, are you still worrying over what to give that girl for Christmas? Here's a tip: Lib Lindsay is running a free advice service for puzzled Christmas shoppers, at Flinn Hall. The puzzled shoppers are mostly boys who don't know what kind of a present to^give the "one and only." Discussions wax long and serious as the boys debate on the relative merits of wrist watches and compacts; earrings and fountain pens, all arguments being referred to Mr. Bell's able and versatile secretary, who gives interested and helpful advice to the boy who wants to buy something different, but has only fifty cents to spend, and to the boy who has a lot to spend, but whose girl already has everything. The greatest problem of most of the boys was to find something individual and different. p. m. o. An intramural punting contcst is now in progress at Northwestern University. STUDENTS!
