Best Dressed Girl, hayride,
house party highlight society
By Agnes Wanek.
Now that the identity of the
Best Dressed Girl has finally been
revealed, university women will
now know who to copy first in
the way of clothea. The idea of
this column is not to point out the
newest fashions, but just in case
you hadn't noticed, take a look at
Betty Orme's new white raincoat
and her white hat with class nu
merals on it. Maybe the new out
fit is to compensate for her near-ly-on-the-rocks
romance with Carl
Norden, DU prexy of last year.
THEY TELL US
that the Pi Phi hayride is getting
to be somewhat of an annual af
fair, since each year it is spon
sored by the pledges. Some of the
Pi Phis and their dates for Friday
night are Marian "Lowrey and
Sigma Chi Jack Moore; Shirley
Scott and Beta Bill Huffman;
Margaret Dickerson and Sig Alph
Joe Dye; Mary Louise Simpson
and A TO Bob Davis; Jane Wilson
and Delt Jack GellaUy. Plans for
the party include a hayride, supper
and dancing afterwards.
REUNION
of the week is that between Phi
Delt Jimmy Stuart and Delta
Gamma alum Helen Katherine
Davis, who've gone together, for
oh, so many years. It looked for
a while as if Cupid wasn't even
batting in that league when Jim
my's pin was returned this sum
mer. But since spring vacation,
things have been patched up, and
Helen is- now wearing a beautiful
diamond.
FOR ONCE
and for all, vacation happenings
will be disposed of. Chicago
seemed to be the destination for
a good many Betas, including Or
val Hager and Houghton Furr.
Also Tom Davis and Jack Stewart
who took Kappa Ann Craft as far
as Galesburg with them. At the
last report she only took seven
suitcases with her. That Sigma
Nu interest of Mary Virginia
Knowles, Kappa, was enough to
draw her to Chicago over the holi
days. Twelve AOPi's celebrated the
occasion with a party at the
Music Box in Omaha Saturday
night and fun was the order of
the evening.
FUN AND FROLIC
will be the central idea of the DU
house party to be held Friday
night, as a pre-initiation celebra
tion. Some DUs and their dates
are Neal Felber and Polly Perkins,
Delta Gamma of last year, who is
coming from Columbus for the oc
casion; Bob Nelson and Tri Delt
Olive Speith; Don Young and Mil
dred Anderson, Theta; Dale Ganz
and Jo Duree, Chi O; and Milt
Meyer and Theta June Holm,
JOINING
the ever-increasing list of steady
goers are Alpha Phi Mary Ann
Stryson and Alpha Sig Dutch Hol
land, making the second steady Al
pha Phi, Alpha Sig combination
of the week.
INTERESTING
if true, is the re-appearance of the
affair between Phi Delt Cliff Meier
and Kappa Molly Woodward, and
the question of the moment is
where will this leave Theta Mary
Ann Donovan?
The chandelier in University of
Minnesota's Northrup auditorium
weighs 4,500 pounds, takes two
hours to clean.
University
coeds learn
to sew, cook
36 home ec students
live home management
houses each semester
Coeds who cook and sew and do
the washing, and keep the house,
and even tend the baby? Impos
sible, it can't happen here! But it
has and does every day, for 36
home economics students do it
every semester in the home man
agement house.
In these houses, live supervisors
who watch the girls work and see
to it that all that should be done
is done, and give the girls' advice.
Two houses.
Two home management houses,
one at 1600 R and one at 3220
Starr, house six girls, an advisor,
and a baby for three weeks at a
time. The girls divide the work.
One week two of them cook, one
week, they tend the baby, do the
washine. or keep the house
clean. In the six weeks course, for
which they receive two hours
credit, they live three weeks in
one house, where they have a high
income budget, and three weeks in
the other, where they live as would
a family of limited income.
They not only do the work, they
plan it too, do all the buying that
must be done, and keep records.
Children are. state wards.
The children in the houses art
wards of the state, and the girls
take turns caring for them.
But if you think it sounds like
just too much fun, just think of
the girls who live there. "No. I
don't think I can go coking this
afternoon. This is my week as
cook, and I have to get dinner."
"No, I can't go out tonight. This
is my week as child supervisor."
Coeds model 'fashions on
parade' at Gold's this week
" 'Flag-waving' fashions r e d,
white and blue are very popular
this season," says Miss Rose
Manahan. stylist who is conduct
ing this week a fabric style show
"Luxable Fashions on Parade" at
Gold's. Today is the last day of
the shows which feature univer
sity coeds as models.
Blue seems to be a good basic
color for the wardrobe this spring,
with a great variety of shades to
chose from navy, cadet blue,
misty blue, pastel, powder blues,
and prints on dusty-blue back
grounds. "Use red for accent
with white with navy, with gray,
or with yellow, for an exotic tropi
cal effect," says Miss Manahan.
Individuality in color.
Cold's are showing all these.
They're giving a chance for indi
viduality with the color schemes
in all parts of the wardrobe. In
cluded in the show of fashions are
a blue and white ballerina play
suit, a red and white check in pure
dye silk, and an adorable seer
sucker suit that combines all threo
colors.
Individuality in "mixing and
matching" is offered too. Slacks,
shorts, shirts and skirts can all be
combined with each other to make
entirely different outfits.
For formal wear.
For more formal wear, there are
many prints to be had. Small,
neatly spaced designs and charm
ing old-fashioned florals on sheer
cottons, matelasse organdie, or
muslin are possibilities.
"Stripes, plaids, and checks are
outstanding for informal wear,"
says Fashion Stylist Miss Mana
han. "All sorts of play clothes will
be seen this summer so you can
choose the type best suited to your
figure slacks, shorts, rompers,
little full skirts, or pinafores."
