Plastics, Cool,
Dominate Spotlite for Slimmer
BY PIIEE MORTLOCK.
Shades of cellulose! This rev
olutionary material has gone and
done it again. Ration-free plastic
shoes made of cellulose will soon
be flooding the greedy shoe mar
ket Light weight, these plastic
feet come in a wide range of
clear, jewel-toned shades, and to
top it all off they're washable.
Ask the girl who owns some,

Answering the call to arms for
the cotton roster is the new sugar
plum print sundress, easy on the
eyes and even easier to wear,
With its spiky ruffles marching
round the bodice. And if you
don't fancy yourself as exactly
the bare-midriff type, your choice
could easily be the wrapped,
draped jersey bathing suit, white,
with a chummy lobster, crab and
snail background.
So fresh and cool that it almost
Induces a dip right here and now,
the sea-print dress in fine cotton
muslin is right down the coed's
summer alley. Fashioned with
cap sleeves and in blue with
mauve, gr'iy wilth coral, and
yellow with blue, the Sea-Print
dress is definitely a comer.
Look .Innocent
The one you get those V-mails
from thinks you are so why not
look innocent in your shinin' new
white pique halo hat. Creations
such as this come once in a hat
time and are a summer joy.
Straight from a movie set is the
China inspired butcher linen,
with the stand-up collar and tiny
sleeves so typical of the Chinese
miss, in happier times.
Typifying the seasons best in J
play suits is the "Striped 'n'
Texan" with skirt, shirt, and
slacks in a clean-cut candy stripe.
To bare or not to bare is the
question as the persistent sun
back dress crops up again this
time in slate-blue cotton button
ing all the way down the front.
Knockout Suits
No up and coming wardrobe
is complete these crowded days
without a subtly tailored suit a
Night in the Dorm
Brings Screams,
Odd Garb, Chaos
BY SARAH MURRY.
Ah, yes, it's 10:30 at the dorm
and lights are out in half an hour
. . . there is a scream from the
You-Know-Wbat as some one
works the water works and an
innocent soul in the shower has
her back scorched.
Babs Russel tears down the
hall knocking people out of the
way to make it to the second
floor phone booths . . third's are
full and she musn't keep Stan
waiting . . . Coll Quigley has al
ready started the nightly routine
of putting up her mass of hair
. . . Jean Compton, in her favor
ite night clothes, a pair of Daddy's
BVD's, smokes a last cigarette
with Eve Osborne, the latter being
of the most sophisticated of the
dorm sleepers in her slinky neg
ligie . . . Leoda Nispel struts down
the hall, face greased, and hair
put up in turban, to find some
one who isn't studying (hard
job???) and lets out a shriek as
she bumps into Marilyn Strong,
buried onrhpletely under a thick
beauty mask . . . Bev McMains
sits calmly smoking a ciggie,
painting her toe-nails with one
hand and holding a Spanish book
in the other, making a quaint
scene with a hair dryer propped
on her shoulder . . . Dottio Manion
comes up from first for excite
ment looking a sight in the P.J.'s
that the laundry ripped the arm
off and shrunk the legs a good
two inches . . . Ginny Hamilton,
from Raymond, has come over to
sell a pair of shoes, but streaks
down again as she hears the long
legged proctor in a too-short night
shirt bellow "five minutes."
Last Minute Discussions.

Sarah Murry's closet. Anything
in a suit these days is a sure

Splashed-with lucky horseshoes,
swinging in a dancing skirt and a

the gal with pep. It's a wonder in
the wash, too, a thing to reckon
with now. Slicing your waist to
nothingness is the belted short
coat "the coat with a clipped ac

examplified by Kappa Sally

Tropic white fairly demanding

neck, sleeve and hip lines. Cool

Theta Jody Bohrer bought there
with black and white hibiscus on
a chartruse background. Fine to
pin that new possession to!
Abbreviated Sleeping Wear
Nothing gives sleep that come
hither glance more than the ab
breviated sleeping wear chosen
unanimously by coeds all over the
country. In white, bordered by
red, or vice versa, they permit
plenty of uninhibited leg room,
and although little more than
elongated pajama tops, ably serve
the purpose.
A survey of spring fashions
wouldn't be complete without
more than fleeting mention of
the summer shorts. They might
easily be Jantzen's corded cot
tons in natural, maize, lime, blue,
or pink, accompanied by a Mexican-printed
rayon shirt 'n all set
aff by wooden clogs. All ready to
soak up a little vitamin D, and
dig for duty and another years
victory garden, is the pulchriturii
nous patriot, the girl of tomorrow.
Volunteers Take
Research Project
Tests in Phys Ed
Attempting to find out objec
tively just what the average col
lege girl can do in motor perform
ance and endurance is part of the
research project being carried on
by the physical education depart
ment at the present time. This
program is part of a research
project being carried on by the
National Physical Education Di
rectors association. Colleges thru
out the country are participating.
From this district of seven states,
the University of Iowa and the
University of Nebraska have been
asked to take part.
When asked to volunteer for
this research project at Nebraska,
over 180 freshmen and sophomore
girls volunteered, of which ap
proximately 60 girls were selected
to form a special class.
Tests Performed.
Some of the tests being per
formed here are measures of car
diovascular (heat muscles to some
of you) and motor eni'uranre.
The girls in this research class
have enjoyed going to the track
for 50 and 200 yard runs, have
worked hard on full squads for
speed, have stepped countless
steps up and down for the Brouha
step-test, and have clone foot
bouncing for speed. They all had
fun getting into training with an
indoor obstacle course. The girls
have training rules and some of
them are: Eating a balanced meal,
eight hours of sleep and exercis
ing regularly.
Dr. Aileene Lockhart is a mem
ber of the national research com
mittee that is directing this studv
and this experimental class at the
university is under the direction j
of Miss Janie Mott and herself.

Cleanliness for Beauty (?).
One of the prime essentials for
beauty is cleanliness. For that
scrubbed look add a little Bon
Ami to your Saturday night bath
water. The weekly tubbing is
really necessary to rob one of
those layers of glug that cover up
the finer texture of a young lady's
epidermis. After the bath, rub
on a speck of Mazola Oil and
sprinkle lightly with Colgate's
tooth powder. You'll feel like the
same person in a new shell.
Twice a year take a minute or
two for the facial. If Spring is
the season, tear outside at dawn
and gather choice onion roots
which later you will stir up with
a saucer of mud. Into this mix
ture pour three tablespoons of
Cherrioats to rid the face of
brownheads (black sounds so
crude). When this brew is ready
stick it in the refrigerator for 24
days. But that time you'll for
get about it and probably feed
it to the dog for his tea.
Back to the Bath.
But, back to the bath. Yes, let's.
A good nap will leave you in
queenlike condition and then we
can begin on the make-up. All
your supplies ready? Yes, alcohol
(grain), plyers, lard, lipgue, burnt
cork (for the Florida tan look),
rouge, and powder. Never, never,
NEVER have your lipstick and
rouge match. It just is not chic.
First, smear a handful of lard
over on .yqur map. Let it coagu
late for a while and then remove
with an bid rug. Massage your

Gives Annual
Performance
A large crowd enthusiastically
applauded the Orchesis recital
which was held in Grand Memor

ical dancers, colorful spotlights
and varied costumes were in
cluded in the program.
One of the highlights of the
evening's entertainment was the
"Salute to Victory" dance The
Chinese number enacted scenes in
the Orient showing the Emperor
and dancers of his court.
The audience was next carried
to Russia where Aileen Lockhart
and Peggy Maly portrayed a typ
ical Russian dance in traditional
Cossack costume.
'Mutiny in the Nursery" was a
mixture of dance numbers, an In
dian dance, jitterbugging, London

With Your Face . . .
Ready for the costume, but
really with your face you can
wear anything. If the party is

sweater is vogueish with a dirndl

Outstanding Performance.
Jackie Young gave an outstand

"Modos." The "Bolero" and "A

added to the enjoyment of the
evening.
One of the impressive numbers
of the evening was "Pavanne"
which was given by five girls
dressed in long flowing gowns of
white with green sashes and
bodices.
The "Theater Waltz" closed the
program and was an effective end
ing. "Half of the dancers were
dressed in tuxedos and the others
in formals, and they imitated a
waltz.
Anne Birdsall's piano solo added
to the evening's entertainment.
