Style Trends
According to the latest fashion
predictions, filmy nets and smooth
silks are being replaced by jeans,
plaid cottons, and checkered ging
hams. Yes. it's the "move to the
farm" movement that is bringing
in more attractive working elothes
for the university coed.
While coeds haven't yet been
called to drive the traitor and
husk the com, spring picnics, of
college fame, will feature such
clever outfits as denim cullottes.
shorts, slacks. Va5h goods will he
supreme in such i-.umbers as gath
ered skirts, tailored shirts and
jumped slack suits.
With no apologies to Coed Fol
lies, "jeans for queens" denotes
the absence of skirts that might
interfere with outdoor woik.
While men are buying khaki uni
forms, the gals are splurging on
well-tailored o.or.im ensembles.
Roomy der.ini jackets help to srt
off the jeans.
So. for clothes' defense we will
be wearing practical, inexpensive
clothes, styled with the future
farmerettes and picnic players m
mind.

wear trey flannel slacks from Ben Simon's. The slacks are tapered
at the ankle line, a new feature since the war. For a shirt, both
practical and flattering:, she wears silk jersey flowered in the new
purple color which is to be one of the popular spring colors. Her
shoes are the rood, old comfy hvaraches.
Allegheny college was so named

Coeds, east an eye at the calen
dar! Comes Saturday, March 21,
and spring arrives bringing with
it the ever popular pastime, pic
nics. Fashion-wise coeds will have
a variety of
picnic ens em
bles to choose
from this spring,

luig sleeved blouses of horse
piints. cactus prints, floral de
signs or stripes add a gay note
when worn with separate slacks.
The new nylon sweaters with short
sleeves, soft as a rabbit's car, come
m heavenly pastel shades and are
the pei feet toppers for any slacks.
For those who feel particularly
patriotic the new defense jumper
i the thing. It comes in toast, blue
or brown and zips down the front.
Cusp tailored blouses are worn
with these.
My the Keynote.
Durability is the keynote of the
new slack suits which are made of
the wrinkle proof material, jumbo
cloth. Two complete ensembles,
consisting of skirt and jacket or
slacks and jacket, can be had for
those who like to mix 'em and
match 'em. Colors of these en
sembles range from the brilliant
tangeiine and blue to the yellow
and bananna cream. For that
added dash try one of the colorful
Hawaiian necklaces.
Budget-wise coeds will find the
very thing they're looking for in
the sanforized faded blue denims.
They may have their choice of
shorts, culottes, jacket, slacks,
overall or shortall. These are made
in the western theme with nail
head trim on the pockets.
When old Sol is beaming down
the coolest thing we can recom
mend is a playsuit. Seersucker fills
the need, some of the suits being
trimmed in dainty pique. Three
piece suits of shirt, shorts, and
skirt are ideal for sport, and
dressy enough for street wear.
The figure-flattering flared skirt
is tops this season in bathing
suits. No priority on satin lastex
again makes it the favorite ma
terial. Burgandy, black and white,
copper, red and white, gold and
aqua are the color choices. Cotton
prints or stripes in dressmaker
style will be worn on the beaches
by increasing numbers of smart
women.
Coeds Revert
To Exercise
For Defense
1-2-3 Kick! 1-2-3 Kick! Exer
cise! That's what Nebraska Co-eds
will have to revert to since the
rubber shortage has made girdles
scarce.
The thought of the wear and
tear accompanying exercising
might not be such a burden to the
co-ed's mind if she gives a second
thought to the improvement of her
posture it will create. With this
idea in mind, Miss Mabel Lee,
chairman of the women's physical
education department, stated, "If
the rubber shortage results in a
girdle shortage it will be beneficial
to the college girl provided it gives
her a consciousness of the need of
good posture." You might also
keep in mind, girls, that exercis
ing might take off those few extra
pounds you've been trying to get
rid of for the past several weeks.

Weekend Wardrobes for Spring
To Feature Suits, Silk Dresses
A week end in the springtime is
just about everyone's idea of heav
en, and of course you will want
to look your very smartest in
clothes reflecting the season.
Suits are always tops in early
spring and they
also furnish the
ideal basis for a
week end ward
robe. All colors
and all styles can
be found this
year and wheth
er you are short
and plump or
long and lanky,
be sure you have
that suit for the
train-ride and
later.
If you can't
take much, plan
on a c c essories
that you can
wear with both
your suit and a
silk dress for
church Sunday. A halo of straw

sion department. The hogs will be
turned loose in the arena. The
rest is up to them (the men).
Of course there will be a few
rules such as the length of time,
and precisely where the rope shall
catch each pig. Men inflicting un
necessary roughness on pigs will
be disqualified and turned over to
the humane society. (I wonder if
Mr. Loomis of the humane society
will rise from his lofty position
and crush the idea to smithers as
he did with the black cat publicity
stunt for the voo doo dance.)
Other features for the evening
that will be held between the show
manship classes will be a colt pa
rade, presentation of the livestock
judging team, and a sheep shear
ing demonstration by the cham
pion sheep shearer from Chicago.
The show will start at exactly
7:30 jj. m. when the traditional
alarm clock rings.

with a little veil to frame your
face and the new light beige lizard
pumps with matching light gloves
ought to really do the trick.
Coeds Have Choice in Dresses.
As for that silk dress mentioned
above, you can take your choice
between the traditional navy blue
with frilly white trim or one of
the new beige and rust two-piece
costume suits.
If the weekend is going to in
clude long walks in the spring
sun, take along that long, "station-wagon"
white sweater to wear
with the plaid skirt of your suit.
Top it off with necklace made of
spring-like glass flowers, plus a
pair of nail-head studded leather
sandals.
Spring weather and spring
clothes -the perfect recipet for a
perfect weekend.

wrist watches with the letters
"Drake Relays" on the face in
stead of numbers.
