6 SUMMER RAG. Saturday, August 1, 1942 Fashion By Marjorie May Coming back to school this fast falling September will mean clothes - as few as possible to fit into the war budget and still be well dressed. And for those who are coming for the first time the question "what should I wear" has a new meaning. What's the the difference between a matinee dance and a football date and is the chancellor's reception an in formal affair or not? First, the low-down on registra weck. Don't for heaven's sake, wear your best bib and tucker while taking the freshmen tests and de ciding when to to take what. That's the time to see how your new skirt and sweater or blouse if it's still too hot, will work out. Get into the swing of college life light then with the traditional campus costume! And this type of dress goes right on into the fall, winter, and spring. Be comfortable while go ing to school. Nebraska coeds don't go in for all the frills and fancies tho a becoming novelty is always attractive. Now, Rush-week. This is the time to dress up! Dainty little frocks, hats and gloves all designed to match each other and you with the emphasis definitely on you. Wear some thing that makes you look your best to your prospective sorority sisters, but still be as comfort able as possible. If you're in doubt whit to wear to a certain party, ask someone who's been thru the iop-s here dozens of times. Being "just right-' is definitely important lu re. What About Dates? Dates may not be the only thing to tike up your campus life, but they're terribly important, you'll have to admit. What to wear Quarantined in 'Dusty9 Sticks to John Dustin Rhodes is a tall liMn with brown hair, a square chm and a terrific slant on life.

Slacks are the order of the day for picnics, but on dancing and movie nights you'll wear soft wool or rabbit hair dresses either sport or frilly as your personality dictates. Hats are up to you. For the chancel lor's reception be sure to wear your best, your very best, a dark street dress, hat and gloves will be correct, and stockings. Let's be new. Fashions for the fall of '42. With the absence of that glit tering spectacle known as formal season, you, the coeds of U. N. will turn play time into dates, dates and more dates. For these all-important occasions your best bet will be a soft crepe in black or brown with contiasting trim of pale blue and flesh. Designed along lines of current require ments, these dresses will be the thing for a rush tea or a night of jive. In between classes when you coke and play, the wool and rab bit hair jerseys will do you proud. They are made of a soft and yummy fabric with slick-fitting lines, and can be found in strictly sports of dress models. Its "back to glamor" with a rabbits hair, the perfect companion for doing the town. The college budget must include a suit which is still as indispens able on our campus as the coke. Some of these are found in grey men's wear flannels, wool shet lands, plaids, and subtle stripes. and are designed to be lived in j day after day. With these, gals, j you'll find blouses strictly on the jersey side styled either in shirt- waist or the smart torso. They are to be had in all pastel colors a.s well as white.

OLDFATHER, The Arts college is the trunk of the university tree," some university dean has declared, and at U. N. this is especially true because this college is the biggest on the campus both in the number of students and size of the faculty. And just as the college is the mainstem of the university, so Dean C. H. Oldfather is the mainstem of the arts and science college. Holding PhD. and hono orary LLD. degrees. Dr. Old father is listed in Who's Who and is a member of many na tional societies. History a n c i e n t is the dean's forte, and he specializes in Roman history. He has been with the university 16 years and dean of the college for 10. place of those hard to get wools. The suits have smartly tailored jackets and can be had with both skirt and slacks to match the jacket. Another good deal is the corduroy pinifore found in the brightest of red and green and the new shammy and pearl grey. Activity Man Is Politician In the Making BY PAUL TOREN. Existing on practically every university campus in the country is an institution known as the "activity man." He is easily : recognized by his perpetual smile and by his eyes, constantly in search of someone to slap on the j back and greet with a hearty "hello." At Nebraska his usual ! haunt is the Student Union where he is found loafing in the "Rag" or Cornhusker office, or guzzling j a coke in the grill. His sole pur pose in life seems to be know by and to know more people than any otner activity. There is another side to the bfe of the activity man. Univer- ; sity activities require long hours of hard work before the heights j of campus fame are reached. The most important men's activities, with the exception of publications, ;sre Kosnict Klub and Corncobs. ; while the gals spend their time on IAWS, Y.W.C.A. and Tassels. ! As for campus politics, every body gets around to that sooner or later. Altho not an activity in i the same sense as the foregoing1 organizations, poltitcs occupy a ! great pari of the time of quit a j lew campus bigwigs. And peien- i nially.
