If you're like James Stillwell who had a girl friend and no money to buy her a Christmas present here's an idea for you. Stillwell, a student at New York State Teachers' College, chargled fellow students 25 cents apiece to watch while he had all his hair cut off.

Publication of Snipe, humor magazine at the University of Wyoming, has been stopped by the university board of trustees. The trustees said the jokes were too off-color. The magazine can continue to publish only so long as it is not university-sponsored. Several col lege magazines are operating without subsidization, but Snipe, which has just gotten in the black after four years of deficit, hasn't decided yet whether or not to try to come out without university aid. Meanwhile, at Cornell Univer sity, the Writer magazine appears to be heading for the same trouble. A faculty committee is considering its "obscenity." WHAT CHILDISH ACTIONS? ... When John Clarke, a pre-law student at Texas A & M wrote a letter to the editor of the Batta lion, student newspaper, he re ceived a warning to "get out of town in 30 calendar minutes" or get shoved around by his fellow students. The reason? Clarke's letter had criticized the student body for "childish actions." SUMMER EMPLOYMENT INCREASES . . .

The number of Vassar women working during the summer has been steadily increasing since the end of World War II.
