SPRING FASHION EDITION c ri nn t II -4, Sebraskan The Daily Official Student Newspaper of the University of Nebraska Vol,. XWYll. NO. 107 I.INfOl.N. NKKI5 ASK A, I mi)AY. IMAIJCII IK, 19.JJ5 PRICE FIVE CENTS AFTER A FASHION Fashions are the fashion today In this, the "rag" spring fashions edition, so we too shall discuss fashions, albeit a trifle less learnedly than Adrian, Schiappar elli, or Moe the Tailor. It is a topic of interest to almost everyone. Those that are able to dress fashionably want to know what to get and those that are not want to know what they're miss ing. There are a few who don't give a tinker's whatchamacallit as to what the fashions are. With those it is the fashion to be un fashionable. And once in awhile the latter class sets the fashion, as witness the Era of the Opcn- Necked Polo Shirt, initiated by some unconventional Hollywood Ian. Spring fashions vary according to the climate they are worn in, the place and surroundings, and the authorities who set them. Spring In Sing-Sing. The boys at Sing-Sing are blossoming out in new spring gabardines with a neat pin stripe effect, differing a little from the old broad stripe. No vest is worn since it is scarcely noticeable under the high, tight collar. The socks also are pre dominantly, in fact, wholly , striped. Tnere is another bit of equipment without which the well-dressed Sing-Singian is never seen, and that is a snappy item attached to the leg in place of the usual garter. This is called the "ball and chain." The favo rite covering for the head is a very attractive skull cap, very effective for keeping the hair in place. As for the pockets on the pants, there is very little change In them. Yes, indeed, spring in Sing-Sing will be a riot of color. Well, a riot anyway. Having dispensed with federal fashions, let us briefly see what the well-undressed nudist isn't wearing this spring. The Narra gansett Nudist colony is admit tedly the leader in nude fashions, so it is to them we shall go for our lasnions. mis spring uiey nave jn decided nor to wear r.ngiiMi worsted with sport backs while last year they chose not to wear herringbone tweeds with raglan shoulders. This year, however, they have decided that they can't quite stomach herring bones, and as a consequence have preferred not to wear worsted. South Sea Sheiks. Having a cosmopolitan taste, we shall now go to the South Sea Islands and briefly give the fashion set-up for the spring of 1938. Flowered sarongs are the prevailing bits of clothing. Is landers at the present are ex ceedingly Interested in them. In fact, as one South Sea Style leader put it, "we are all wrap ped up in sarongs this year." The principal items being worn one the feet this spring, will be callouses, bunions and corns. Jumping over to Australia, we find that the bushman in the hinterlands is turning more and more to feathers; feathers on headdresses, skirts, ankles, and arms. About the only thing of prime Importance in fashions around Nebraska, however, when you come right down to fundamental changes, is the fact that dresses will be shorter. The prediction is that tome of the girls will look as If they had stepped into their dresses to far. E.
