Cadets Plan and Plan, but Galaxy
Of Beautiful Gowns Highlight Ball
By Mary Aileen Cochran.
Censored! And the Honorary
Colonel has been presented at the
33rd annual Military Ball of Ne
braska fame. How? Well, that
remains to be seen and planned by
a corps of cadets. Our only hint
is that the traditional run of
events the colonel floating out of
a castle, and Pershing rifle crack
squad, and the Grand March of
officers and their ladies is to be
altered. In other words, things
are going to be different!
But plan as any cadets may, it's
a sure-fire fact that the most im-

Beaver Leads
In Far Jacket
Coat Fashions
Attractive new styles of this
season may be found on every
coed, ranging from short fussy
jackets to long beaver coats.
Chubbies trimmed in red, with red
mittens are unusual and catch the
eye of every passer-by. Oh yes,
have you seen the lovely long,
white formal coats which would
set off a black formal a hundred
percent.
Beaver coats still lead all styles.
The hood is a beneficial feature to
keep the head warm and it also
makes the sweet "girl of today,"
look very cute. The hood is
trimmed in the same color as the
lining of the coat. Not so bad on
the eyes.
barbie stuht, kkg, adds a red
jacket-coat to her black street
dress and red rubber boots for
slushy days.
The alpha phis are talking about

wearer from any wintry blasts
between the drug and sosh... or

front makes this dress something
to notice. . .three-quarter length
sleeves add that extra touch of
style to a dress, so marty ann
reed, alpa chi, adds them to her
sea-foam green wool, and chi o
edna mae niedemayer has them in
her pink, full-skirted jersey for
special occasions.
Like something out of vogue
that's alpha chi mary thorley in
her fingertip silver fox jacket
hat to match, of course... pi phi
Shirley msneel will wear her black
silk dress to dinner, dancing, or
under her fur coat it's perfect
for all occasions with its blue
grosgrain trimming at neck-line
and hem and blue, cone-shaped
stones on either sleeve.

Today Has No Worries As
Fashion Takes Over the Daily
Today we aren't going to worry about the war. In fact we're
not going to worry about anything depressing. We're going to be
bright. It's our semi-annual fashion day and we're celebrating with
an edition devoted to fashions.
When we say we're going to be bright, we don't mean just in our
newspaper style. We mean in the fashions themselves, because
brightness is this year's style keynote. For women we'll see every
where bnght colors, brilliant accessories, and flashing sequins. For
formal wear, we'll see plenty of black and white as usual, but with
more than the usual amount of sequins and brilliant clips; or we'll
see loud reds, blues, greens and even purple.
For school wear, we'll see gaudy plaids and plains and more fur
coats than usual. On dates, the same brilliance will be seen. Shoes
will continue to veer away from the conventional saddle shoe and
spectator pump. Instead we'll have novelty moccasins, and tiny
pumps and sandals.
The women will not be alone in their brightness because the
men will be wearing more "flashing fashions" than ever with their
loud plaid suits and jackets and red, white and blue striped shrits.
For evenings and formals tails are more In order than ever, with
bright cufflinks and studs for added glamour.
We've been needing a "pick-me-up" and we have It in the new
bright clothes. Mary Kerrigan.
pressive part ot tne aecorauons
will be the galaxy of beautiful
gowns that will be worn. Already
these are be'ng chosen, and prom
ise to "gild the lily" most effec
tively. Window Peeking.
Peeking into the shop windows
and behind curtains we see some
striking effects 'specially in
black and white combinations. The
specialty number of this type wa3
a taffeta and velvet creation
black velvet, torso length top, with
sweetheart neck trimmed in a
tiny ruffle of the striped taffeta
the skirt's made of.
White and pastels, always fem
inine and flattering, will make up
a large part of the varied colors.
Alpha Phi Georgia Covey's dark
ness will be a striking contrast to
the white chiffon and brocaded
taffeta she will wear with her
escort, ATO Ed Calhoun. Petite
Ann Hastings, Theta pledge,
will no doubt be a small knock-out
in sky-blue chiffon, and a huge
skirt Mark Hargraves has the
particular advantage in this case.
Ooooooh oh.
One formal that came the
closest to forgetting any allowance
was a moonstruck blue lame, with
long-sleeved bodice, and a finish
ing touch of lame splashed on the
pale blue tulle skirt. Alpha Chi
Marge Stewart ought to make an
equal strike in her pink strapless
gown (ooooooh-oh) of brocaded
satin taffeta. Such gown will be
seen with Ed Butler, ATO.
And for those who will be dra
matic daring color effects, such
as the crepe formal seen on O
street (behind a window, of
course). The black skirt only set
off the light green sash and scarlet
draped blouse. Covered-up effects
are really all right this season,
and are equally as flattering. For
the blonde, a certain bright blue
dress is just the thing with long
sleeves, peplum effect and sequins
dancing on the bottom edge of the
peplum.
Swirling Skirt.
One of those indulging in strik
ing drama is Theta pledge Bonnie
Rugger, to be spotted with Aubrey
Petit. Kappa Sig. Her black taf
feta excels mainly in a fitted
basque, and swirling skirt with
vari-colored plaid around the bot
tom. The same pi aid is used for
the jacket.
Restrained elegance is the key
note of the draped effect of the
wool jersey blouse and rayon taf
feta skirt. Chunky jewelry of
gold or silver seems 'specially
made for this, too.
And there are always a few
who feel best when they carry over
their tailored style into the eve
ning. A metallic skirtwaist crea
tion, with pleated crepe skirt fiU
this more tailored fashion to the
hilt.
Ak Dresses Reappear.
One of the highlights of the
Military Ball fashion, partly from
the larger number to be seen, and
mainly from their elegance, aie
the A k-S a r-B e n countesses'
dresses. Pi Phi Sayre Webster
will be one of those lucky girls
to be adorned in the American
beauty shade. As is so widely
worn this year, they have extended
waistlines, tucked bodices, and
full skirts, but as is not so fre
quently in view will be ermine
tails sprinkled over the skirt.
Roger Anderson, DU, will escort
like royalty in the person of cute
Margie Kenner, Theta pledge.
The Cover Girl
This season's Winter Fashion
cover girl is Nancy Haycock, Pi
Phi, shown wearing the Cardinal
red dress she wore in the royal
court at the Ak-Sar-Ben ball. The
skirt and bodice of the dress are
dotted with ermine tails and she
wears long white formal gluvea to
complete her costume.
