Individualism keynotes this
season's campus fashions
Individualism. That's the key
note of this year's college fash
ions. The day of identical sweat
ers, identical skirts, and identical
saddle shoes accompanied by
identical polo coats is past.
This year you who go to col
lege dress to please yourself. You
may live in classic pull-overs you
may love sleeveless sweaters,
jerkins, pinafore sweaters cut
away to show your shirt-sleeves.
You may cling to the saddle shoes
of ivy-clad tradition or you may
pick any one of a vast variety of
play-shoes. You may remain faith
ful to than tawny camel's-hair top
coat or you may choose tweed,
oovert-cloth, gabardine. Whipcord
is a newcomer to the gabardine
family. A new greatcoat for win
ter weather has an alpaca lining.
Dishevelled look gone.
This year you'll forget that co
eds are supposed to look dishev
elled. You'll strive for a trim, tidy,
wita-about-you look. You'll wear
a hat more often than not one
of the new shallow cloches, or a
kull-cap, or a pill-box. Slacks are
nicely tailored this year grey
flannel or corduroy. You'll want a
tweed or Scotch plaid skirt, short
er and straighter this year, and
at least one pinafore.
The red-and-b?ige team is new,
likewise matching belts and hand
bags. Fashion forecasts a white win
ter, leam a white Jacket witn a
dark skirt and you'U start some
thing on the campus; fit into the
landscape with a calfskin Jacket
or a pinafore-jerkin nair wnue
chamois, half blue suede. And he.
swankiest "thing in a blue moon is
a cape of white wool teddy-bear
cloth, equally at home on the ski
slopes or over evening clothes.

our Nell isn't busy with numerous
other people who are also trying
to date her. . .
We admit that it's np longer
news when DDD Jane Ellis starts
going steady again with Bob
Adams, like she did last weekend
... but when Jane limits the steady
deal herself to something like two
weeks and then at the end of the
first week of again going steady
she decides it can't last any longer
. . .of course Janey having a date
with a new man might account for
the recurring quits ..
When Pat Lahr asked AOPi
Jane Lynn and Ruthie Holland, Pi
Phi, while they were getting their
noon nourishment in the grill, if
they could take a cab and go to
the station at 3 the gals were a
little surprised but readily ac
ceded. . .surprise is scarcely a
strong enough adjective for their
sentiment when they got down to
the station and the Chamber of
Commerce informed them that
they were filming something about
Lincoln on Parade" and then per
force started expending film on the
gals... the Yellow Cab deposited
the new actresses on the Union
steps when it was all over and the
driver handed over a $7 coupon
book... Its still a toss up whether
Jayne and Ruth are going to use
the coupons and whip up to Omaha
or save them for the Mortar Board
party. . .

Sororities to pick
'Girl of Week' for
Simons' contest
Sorority girls on the campus are
now selecting their most popular
members for a novel contest being
sponsored by Ben Simon's shoe de
partment. Each sorority chooses
one of its members and her pic
ture is featured as the "Girl of the
Week." The girl who has been
chosen by her sisters for the
honor is invited to choose the
"Shoe of the Week" from the shoe
stock at Simon's. The first week
of the contest, Miss Mary Lee
Adams of Ogallala, Alpha Chi
Omega sophomore, was chosen
Girl of the Week. Miss Adams is
blonde, blue-eyed, very vivacious
and charming.

Do you approve of women smok

Vogue announces
sixth annual Prix
de Paris contest
Vogue's sixth annual career con
test for college seniors, the Prix
de Paris, was announced recently
by Edna Wooman Chase, editor of
Vogue magazine. The contest,
which offers as first prize a year's
position on Vogue's freshman
staff, will begin as soon as the
November issue of the magazine
appears on the news stands.
Last year over a thousand sen
iors from 257 colleges entered the
Prix de Paris. First prize winner
was Mary Moon, a senior at Bryn
Mawr. Our purpose in sponsoring
the Prix de Paris contest," ex
plained Mrs. Chase, "is to discover
college girls who have the ability
to write and a flair for fashion.
Whether entering the contest leads
to a prize or not, the contestants
will receive a training in fashion
reporting and feature writing
which they will find immensely
valuable in securing a position
after graduation."
The second prize is a six months
position as a feature writer on
Vogue's staff, and, in addition, five
cash prizes will be awarded for
the best contest theses.
steady with a girl who smoked."
And that fact is only the begin
ning folks.
"I have nothing against a wom
an smoking. But every woman who
does should realize that it defi
nitely doe3 destroy some part of
her feminine charm." Those are
the words of Waldo Deck, Phi
Gamma Delta senior law.
Great consideration for the fu
ture was displayed in this re
sponse from Dee Lutton, classmate
and frat brother of Waldo Deck.
"As far as I am concerned, I don't
mind girls smoking while they are
in school. But I would hate to see
a young mother smoke.
A cynical note was supplied by
Howard Debus, frosh teachers.
Said Howard, "It's alright if they
furnish their own cigarettes," And
possibly Mr. Debus has something
there.
Maybe a gihl's opinion would
be appropriate here. Eileen Hunt,
senior teachers replied in these
words. "I don't smoke. Since wom
man has the greatest influence on
children, seeing women smoking
while they have children in their
arms disgusts me."
Bob Krejci, music '43, expressed
the opinion of all those persons
who were asked but whose individ
ual quotations do not appear. "I
disapprove definitely. Yet I don't
know why."
Remember then girls that in the
opinion of a majority of the men,
smoking indulged in by women is
definitely frowned upon.
