College Girls Beg Romantic Yuletide Gift

Materialism was the by-word in an informal poll concluded last night to determine what local college girls wanted most for Christmas from their University boy-friends.

Although admitting that "money is probably the most inexpensive thing to give this year," the belles felt they would like something slightly more enduring. "Let him give me something to remember him by--from the song of the same name," pleaded Miss Janet White, Smith '48.
