Coeds' Spring Fancy Turns to Clothes
( By Sue Isaacson
In the spring, a young
lady's fancy turns not only to
love but to clothes, too.
The coeds at the University
have already begun to turn
to new clothes, styles and
colors.-
Popular fashions this spring
as Nebraska coeds prepare
for school, church, and for
mal wear will be short and
bright, according to Univer
sity women interviewed by
the Daily Nebraskan.
Sandra Lyster, Delta Del
ta Delta, thought bright col
ors will be very popular. One1
of her favorites was a simple
beige dress, for instance, with
bright accessories., "After
winter," Miss Lyster com
mented, "bright colors are
more exciting."
Sweater Dresses
She also looked forward to
seeing many sweater dresses
and box jacket suits. As for
accessories, she envisioned
"big things," with 'cork ac
cessories and straw purse's.
"Jackie Kennedy will prob
ably set a pattern," re
marked Linda Gilman, Zeta
Tau Alpha. In her opinion,
soft yellows and greens will
dominate the spring colors
and pleated skirts, the school
styles.
Pam Holloway, Kappa Kap
pa Gamma, prophesied
sporty clothes and "crisp col
ors that are comfortable to
wear." Another popular style
will be the shirt waist, in
Miss Holloway's opinion. She
also thought larger white jew
elry will make a hit.
Shirt waists were also at
the top of the list of Alpha
Chi Omega Eleanor Billing's
list. She thought "knee tick
lers" in cottons and rayons,
culottes and muted tones will
be the "big" things on cam
pus. For dressy wear, Miss Bill
ings liked the navy blue silks.
Bright Colors
v Gloria Kindler, Alpha Phi,
believed that bright colors
with contrasting shades and
silk materials are becoming
popular. In styles,, shirt waist
dresses, cotton kilts and ber
mudas rate high.
Lavenders, pastels, and es
pecially bright yellow should
be the dominating colors this
spring, in the opinion of Mur
iel Lelchook, Sigma Delta
Tau. She also thought skirts
and weskits, and shirt waist
dresses with matching jewel
ry will be popular.
Marty Anderson, Alpha
Omicron Pi, puts pastels and
bright pink at the top of her
color list. Short skirts, cul
ottes, and pleated skirts
should also make hits, she
thought. -
Beige and greens are favor
ites of Judy Brown, PI Beta
Phi. She also liked shirt waist
dresses1 and full skirts with
out crinolines. For more
dressy occasions, suit dresses
rank high on Miss Brown's
list. . ,
Matching Pastels
Joyce Tonniges, Kappa
Delta, thought that . sun
dresses with jackets iri pas
tels and with matching pastel
shoes should again be popu
lar. For school, pleated skirts
& puffed-sleeve dresses
should be seen. Straw purses
will be high on the list of ac
cessories, in Miss Tonniges'
opinion.
Coat and dress ensembles
with sleeves just above the,
elbow will be a favorite, feels
Nancy Smith, Women's Resi
dence Hall. She also foresaw
many pleated skirts and light
pastels.
Karen Lund, Kappa Alpha
Theta, prefered dark colored
sheaths but also thought
short cotton skirts with box
pleats will be popular. Dom
inating colors, she thought
will be light lavenders and
olive greens. Accessories
should include bulky jewelry.
Nancy Wallin, Alpha Xi
Delta, felt that popular colors
will be greens and lavenders
and that summer dresses will
feature straps and jackets.
Short Skirts
Short skirts will again be
favorites, thought Cay Hahn,
Penneys

Sigma Kappa. "Everyone
likes them too much to let
them get longer," she com
mented.
She also thought that point
ed toe heels are going out
and big wooden ones coming
in, although,- in her opinion,
these will' not make a hit at
all. As for colors, beige and
pastels, especially light blues,
will be popular, according to
Miss Hahn.
Virginia Stalder, CM Ome
ga, i o r e s a w popularity in
French coats, shirt waist
dresses and straight skirts.
Popular colors will be pas
tels, she believed, but there
will be no new styles in jew
elry. Cotton band stand skirts,
said Bonnie Baileyy Gamma
Phi Beta, should be a big
hit. She also expected to see
more lavenders and pastels.
For more dressy purposes,
Miss Bailey thought silk
shantung material is becom
ing popular and that styles
will be sleeveless, low necked
resses with straight skirts.
She added that in m a n y
places the long torso look is
becoming stylish but did not
think it will make too big a
hit on this campus. i
Twink Tuttle, Delta Gam
ma, also put band standers
high on the styles list. She
felt that many ensembles like
bermudas-jacket-skirt outfits
will be seen on campus. The
more somber, lrab, "collegi
ate type" colors wUI also be
dominating, according to
Miss Tuttle. '

Imported Tobaccos
Start New Trend
The' continental style is
leaving its mark in the fash
ion world of imported and do
mestic pipes and tobaccos,
according to Cliff Thone of
Cliff's Gift Shop on the cor
ner of 13th and M.
"The trend this year is to
ward the Danish pipes and
Holland tobaccos," Thone
.said.
These new Danish pipes
have enhanced the smoker's
world with shapes and sizes
that are entirely modern.
"This trend toward Danish
pipes has been so strongly
accepted in the pipe making
industry that conservative
English pipe companies are
starting to copy the style,"
he said.
Other Trends
Other consumer trends that
are relatively new and gain
ing more and more popular
ity are the leather covered
and the swing to large pipes.
These pipes come in a varr
ey of traditional and modern
pipe styles with such cover
ings and colors as green and
gray suede and black and tan
leather.
"There is no functional ben
efit to a leather covered
pipe," said Thone, "but it
gives the pipe smoker a mod
ern and fashionably distin
guished pipe."
In tobaccos, the Holland
brands are gaining wide
spread popularity. This flair
for the continental has also
boosted the sales of most oth
er imported tobaccos, accord'
ing to Thone, who has been
operating a pipe shop since
1946 in Lincoln.
"Some of the continental
brands are rnuch finer than
dbmestics, such as the Hoi
land tobaccos, but on the oth'
er hand, some that are being
bought are not as good. It's
just fashionable now days to
smoke imported brands." he
said.
Briars Expensive
When asked how to disthv
guish a good briar from, an
ordinary briar, Thone said
that as far as imported pipes
go, "the more expensive'the
pipe the better a pipe it is.
"In the English pipes espe
daily the price is a good
way to tell because they do
not cheat in making their
DiDes." he said.
Thone warned that no mat
ter how m u c h one may pay
for a pipe it can be ruined
if it isn't properly carea tor.
UNSEA Forms
Now Available
ADDlications are now being
accepted for University of Ne
braska Secondary Education
Association (UNSEA) post
tions.
Forms are available in 310
Teachers College and should
be returned to that office by
Friday.
The slate, which will be'se
lected from those applying:
will be announced at the
March meeting.' Nominations

"The National Bank of
Commerce has always had
very close ties with the Uni
versity since our opening in
1902," according to Jack
Goodwin, public relations
manager. -
'We work with the Univer
sity students in various proj
ects to upgrade the Univer
sity, the whole community,
and the bank," uooawin saia.
"Our display windows car
ry pictures of the athletes and
other outstanding University
events," said Goodwin. "Signs
will be in our windows Thurs
day inviting the students to
come in and look us over."
During College Night the
will remain open until 9 p.m.
to answer questions that the
students might have and to
transact business.
Officers On Hand
Two of the highest officers
of the bank, Bryon Dunn,
Dresident. and Albert Held,
executive vice-president, will
be on hand to speak with the
students. "This indicates the
interest the bank has in the
students of the University,'
Goodwin said.
For the past 15 years at
least, the National Bank of
Commerce has been sending
letters to incoming freshmen
inviting them to do business
with the bank. "It has been
highly successful," he said.
Another service provided
for the new freshmen is a
means of cashing checks be
fore the student identiication
cards are issued. The Nation
al Bank of Commerce sends
cards to outstate banks for
the students to pick up.
The students sign each half
of the card, and keep one
half, the local bank sending
the other half to the Nation
al Bank of Commerce.
Student Reference
When the students come in
to cash a check, they present
the card which matches the
one te bank has, giving them
a reference, Goodwin said.
With the coming of t h e
new year the spotlight of the
fashion world immediately
turns to the new trends in
fashion for the spring season.
The fashion goal for this
spring seems to concentrate
on slow, easy lines and bright
vivid colors combined with
giant-sized details such as
huge buttons and big patch
pockets.
Ring Necklines
The spring silhouette will
also feature ring necklines,
cape back coats, bell sleeves
and relaxed waistlines. .
The ring neckline is de
scribed as a fenced, banded,
coiled or a semi-turtle neck
ending a cardigan neckline
which stands away from the
neck slightly.
Hemlines will stay at knee
level designed to hit either
directly above or directly be
low the knee.
Bright sun-drenched colors
will dominate the spring fash
ion parade. The stress is on
the pink family which will
include shades ranging
from hot pink through lilac.
Blues are also good and the
straw color group will draw
a good bit of attention.
Diagonal stripes, plaids or
checks will be prominate pat
terns for suits, coats and cos
tumes giving a fashion look
known as asymmetrical which
refers to diagonal design.
Prints will be bolder and
and more exciting than ever.
Colorful florals combining
blues and greens with pink
and coral will be background'
ed by white or pale tinted
shades.
Each specific fashion item
will feature new spring
changes. For instance, suits
will feature jackets shaped in
front and straight line backs
varying in length from waist
to hip line.
Sleeves will be trumpet
flared elbow length accented
bv large cuff or button trim
mings. Suit collars will cater
to the ring shape.
The word for skirts is the
gently shirred skirt front.
Other skirt shapes high on
the fashion list will feature
box pleats, flares and cul
ottes. Coat Lines
Coat lines will range from
wide cape coats to the im
portant narrow coat. Again
the ring neckline and large
trimmings will be apparent.
Dress shapes will concen
trate on easy silhouettes fea
turing slow curves. The over-
blouse or bluson is back to
bring the accent to the hip
line. Dress costumes consist
ing of a dress and compan
ion coat will be considered
smart taste this spring.
Easter finery will be topped
by high riding straw hats fea
turing a new freedom for dec
oration. Little hats, preferab
ly pillboxes, are also good for
those who favor smaller hats.
Shoe news for spring con
centrates on heels squared at
the throatline, heel or toe
with a heel base fashioned
into square and triangle
pedestals. Fabrics including
wild silks, irridescent plaids
and printed meshes will add
gaiety to shoe wardrobes.
Handbags will range in size
from streamlined shapes in
sizzling colors to spacious
grained leather bags for tot
ing. Dressier purses will fea
ture square shaped or shirred
pillow pouches.
The final touch to spring
finery will be added by
gloves. This t year glove
length may be either long or
short to match the short or
three quarter length sleeves.
Stretch gloves are fast be
coming popular and the fash
ion forecast predicts an even
greater increase in stretch
glove popularity,
All in all the spring fash
ion picture " seems to point
toward a return to natural
lines and relaxed styling com
bined with vivid coloring to
make the '61 Easter Parade
a real joy.
