adage, "There's nothing new un

well as for other things.
Take, for instance, the fabrics
which women consider so popular
this year. Nearly every one is de
rived from a man's fashion, either
recent or aged. Silks originated in
the French

as the reversible idea, so that the

mannish cut of coats and suits,
featuring lapels, double and single

may all be traced to a masculine

Hats from men.

your fault, too.

And even these little feathery

to dislike, may be traced to 17th
century court days when the men
rigged themselves up in wigs,
feathers, and flowers. They didn't
look so good in them, either.

Bob Poe, business administra
tion junior from North Platte, and
a member of Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity, was anounced today as
the winner of the third annual
BDOC contest held on the campus.
He will be awarded $50 in clothes
from Harvey Brothers.
Honorable mention honors go to
Ed Milder, ZBT, ATO Bob Windle,
Bob Kerl, Kappa Sigma, and Bill
Ottman and Cliff Meier, both Phi
Delta Thetas. All of the 39 con
testants will receive two free tick
ets to the Turnpike Saturday
night.
Poe, when asked how he felt to
be acclaimed the best dressed man
on the campus replied, "Well, I
was very much surprised, very
grateful, and naturally feel some
what honored. About the $50
well, I think that can be used."
Blue favorite color.
When asked what his favorite
colors for suits were, he said
that he preferred blues, although
for this spring he selected a double
breasted worsted tan suit. He will
add to this suit from his prize a
light top-coat of tan with a
heather mixture. He prefers
stripes either diagonal or pin

suit for campus running-about."
For those who wonder just what
the wardrobe of a best dressed
man consists of, here it is: Three
suits, one dress, and two sport;
two hats (Bob wears hats in the
winter time only); four pairs of
shoes; two dozen pairs of socks;
ten shirts (dress); twenty ties;
two or three sport jackets; tuxedo
(he prefers the tux to tails); four
sport shirts; and two top-coats.
Prefers white inner coat.
He thinks that the correct wear
for spring formals is the white
dinner jacket or white formal coat
.of some kind, and he prefers in
shirts for all-round dressing, white
with diagonal striped tie.
About the $50 worth of clothes
this year's BDOC is going to use
it for "that new tan suit, tan shoes
for spring, some new shirts, top
coat and furnishings."
