are the Lincoln stores.

fers revolutionary new spring
styles and colors. For the ener
getic lass who likes plenty of
Bpace for her trinkets they have
a huge Lewis bag of Baby-Alll-gator
in stip-red. Miller and
Palne's have the new washable
sanitized purses in all colors, and
capeskin cipper bags with catch
ing gloves.
Navy, black and checks.
Suits at Simon's this year are
almost all navy and black, or else
shepherd checks. They feature
gay white touches which seem the
very breath of spring. Dressmaker
suits are popular at Miller's. They
are showing Eton suits for wear
jacicec areas featured in every
fashion magazine, short jackets,
and redingotcs. Waists are a little
lower, and hem lines are just
above mid-calf.
Lapel gadget.
Catering to college girl tastes
are Magee's leather lapel gadgets
of every description, a blue leather
soldier or a white leather zebra.
Miller's have lovely lapel acces
sories, gay birds of paradise,
jeweled and sparkling, or eccentric
little figures if you prefer them.
Sophisticated Is the word for the
Hattie Carnegie necklaces at Hov
land's. One of them is a perfectly
beautiful three-strank amber set.
But to get to what we're all
very interested in school and
Inquiring Reporter asks . .
Students why they choose
the col lege they now are in
By Bob Aldrich.
Brooding over the fact that
many students change colleges in
the middle of the stream, to garble
nn already badly used metaphor,
the Inquiring Reporter decided
Saturday to bring to light reasons
why students are in their chosen
colleges.
The. question: "Why did you
choose the college in which you
are now enrolled?"
Why, for example, does a stu
dent enroll in a pie-law course
only to discover the next semester
that his heart belongs to Teachers
college? Is it because the courses
get too tough and he hopes to
find it easier? Or s it just that
fields are always greener far
away 7
Dick Delfs, Arts and . Sciences
junior.
I'm taking a pre-med schedule.
This college offers the best variety
of courses and gives the best back
ground. Bob Pearson, Biz Ad sophomore.
I became interested in book
keeping and accounting in high
school and decided to be an ac
countant. I con5idcrcd forestry for
a while but since I couldn't go to
Fort Collins, I chose Biz Ad here.
Dick Ryan, Arts and Sciences
senior.
- I planned to take a pre-med
course before I came here and
there was never any doubt in my
mind about a college.
Esther D. Davis, Teachers senior.
My father helped me to decide.
Besides, teachers get a three
months vacation and are paid
about as well as an office worker.
Loretta Gzehoviak, Teachers col
lege sophomore.
No particular reason. I just had
the desire to teach in high school
and enrolled when I came here
Leslie Washburn, Arts and Sci
ences. I'm taking journalism, partly
because my father is in the news
paper business and because I took
it in high school and liked it
very much.
Paul Griffith, Arts and Sciences
junior:
I decided to be a doctor when I
was a kid- just never wanted to be
anything else.
, Leonard Chadek, Arts and Scien

of the niomen'
Dwight Marchand, Engineering

apart and found out why they
work and how so engineering was
a natural for me.

my abilities. I also want to teach

play clothes. Rudge's "Paula
Brooks" classic shirtwaists are
perfect for college girls. And they
have the slack suit featured last
month in Vogue. It is maroon
chantung with a butcher boy
jacket, and the waist is adjustable.
Magees have the Va Vite one piece
slack suit which slip off and on,
and silk-jersey shorts and skirts
sets, with long sleeves on the
blouse of the one-piece short sets.
Shoes get 'wedgier'
Shoes seem to be getting
"wedgy and wedgier" as Simons
feature their bright chanille play
shoes in almost every color. They
also have mocassins, both the Hon
est Indian kind, and wedge soled
ones. Hovland's have both com
fort and individuality in their new
Caper sets of bright colored calf
skin wedge soled shoes and draw
string purses.
Back in the limelight for prob
ably the best season they have had
in years are spectator pumps, and
all the stores are showing them.
So go shopping for what you
want, and whatever it is you prob
ably will be able to find it.
Flexibility, comfort arc main
features for men's shoes
The N.Y.A. college program is
reaching 18.8 percent more youths
this year than last year.
The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching has re
sources of $26,917,932.
By Bob Schlater.
Flexibility and comfort in men's
shoes is to be the main feautre in
styles this spring according to a
survey of leading stores of Lin
coln. New colors that will go with
iny type of cloth
ing seems to be
mother outstand
ing item.
Using the same
feature that is
prevelant in all
men's clothing
this spring are
the easy, com
fortable shoes
that are to be
worn. Saddle
shoes are going to be sold a great
deal according to Magee's, a style
center of Lincoln. Bill Wiley, ATO,
has a pair of British Plugs which
are seamless saddle shoes. The
white is used thruout except on
the tongue and shoe lace panel.
Thick rubber. soles make the shoes
more outstanding.
Beige corduroy coat.
Also looking very springy was

very well to complete the outfit
Tans and twe tone tans are out
standing this year. Tan and white

they are a summer shoe. The
in all of the outfits combining
sport shoes with the more dressy
shoe resulting in a more all-around
shoe. Shoes this year will be more
ventilated than every before thus
affording a more comfortable shoe.
Merrill Englund, Kappa Sig, wears
a good looking pair of brown ox
fords that lace at the side.
Moccasin pump shoes.
A moccasin pump shoe shown
by Magee's will be worn by many
of the college men this summer.
These shoes which come in a two
tone brown are ideal for sport
wear. They are extremely easy to
slip on and are light on the feet
as well as being cool.
The definite trend in shoes seems
to be toward sport shoes that will
be adaptable to the sport clothes
that are so prevailing this year.
Comfort, flexibility, colors and
soles are points to be watched in
this years footwear. Lee Taylor,
Beta, wears a very unusual pair of
sport shoes that are built high
and lace at the top.
The soles of the sport shoes have
departed from the crepe and have
gone to the heavy thick red rub
ber. This is ideal for spring thaw
and rain weather. Many of the
soles are an inch and a half thick.
The shoes with their ventilation or
perforations are extremely light on
the feet and thus increase com-
