Barbara True, Tri Delt pledge, chose this black and white formal from Ben Simon and Sons to
set off her dark hair as she stepped out to the Cornhusker. The skirt is made of black net and the
bodice is covered with white sequins. On the white sequins is a big black, velvet bow contrasting with
the shiny top.
Kappa Siq prexy Paul Mathews dressed up In black tails to keep in the color scheme set by his
partner. For studs and cuff links he chose white moonstone, giving that final dressy touch. Paul is
wearing one of the always-good top hats. His evening dr.ess is also from Simon's.
Survey Reveals
Can Be Caused
A huge controversy has arisen
among male students, according to
a survey over the seemingly but
decisively simple art of "how to
wear a handkerchief."
Chris Petersen, Kappa Sig, de
fends the lowly, but functional
u.se of the hanky. "I just stick it
in so I can pull it out at the crucial
moment." He also believes "white
does the job best." A more par
ticular and fastidious authority on
the subject is Ed Calhoun, ATO.
According to him, the proper
method consists of careful fold
ing, resulting in three peaks peer
ing out of the masculine pocket.
"However, a small fellow shouldn't
wear three or four points with a
single-breasted suit. One point
is more suitable for him."
Just Grab It.
Blunt and rather insulting to
this last opinion is that of Dee
Deputron, DU, and Johnny Jones,
Phi Delt pledge. Upon demonstra
tion in the Corn CriD these fashion
mongers "grab the missile in the
center, shake freely so aa to re
lieve all foreign matter, and then
stuff it in, points up!" As they
put it, only old men fold the hand
kerchief neatly, with three ends
sticking up.
Pht Psi Al Busch, one of the
better dressed men of the campus,
simply stated 'fold it, then stuff
it in," as he deftly exhibited with
a newspaper. According to Al,
white is the only color to wear.
White or Colored.
ATO Findley Howard and How
ard Mengshall, Phi Gam, both laud
the merits of white, as seems to be
the popular opinion. Randall Pratt,
Farm House, debated this opinion
by candidly admitting that "col
ored handkerchiefs that blend with
the color scheme of the suit are
the best."
And now that the fire of debate
ha3 smouldered you know just how
to wear that hanky or would you
rather u.se a Kleenex?
It is estimated that at least
half the nearly 1,500,000 youths in
American colleges are working to
help pay their expenses, while 20
percent are paying all their costs.

"Design for Living's" campus
bureau of investigation reported
that college women spend 75 per
cent of their waking hours in a
sweater-skirt outfit.
Campus feet prefer saddles and
moccasins for sports and pumps
and Cinderella evening slippers for
formal wear. Legs, untroubled by
the shortage in silk stockings and
nylons wear anklets but definitely
veto knee socks.
Other things that are "in" are
dickeys, bandanas, beanies, hoods,
baseball skullies, calots, stocking
caps, pill boxes, baby bonnets,
berets and ear muffs.
National YWCA
President Speaks
In Union Sunday
At an open meeting Sunday at
4:30 in Parlor XYZ of the Union,
Mrs. Grace Loucks Elliott, na
tional president of the YWCA of
the United States, will speak cn
"Permanent Values."
Since 1928 a member of the Na
tional Board of YWCA, Mrs. El
liott is well known for her work
in the psychological problems of
adult and adolescent women, hav
ing written several books on the
subject.
Mrs. Elliott received her Ph.D.
at Columbia university and has
traveled extensively in Europe.
Hat Tops Off
WcH-Drcssed
Man's Wardrobe
Whether or not you're bald, to
be perfectly dressed, fashion ex
perts require a hat to top every
thing off. And there is no worry
about finding a hat that will suit
your taste this year, because there
are a million versions for head
gear.
The telescopis and podk pie
styles of last year aren't the style
for 1941; yet they aren't definitely
out. And last year's coverts, gab
ardines and what have you are
also being worn, and as long as
they are which looks like indef
initelythey're stylish.
Harmony Wanted.
Fashion magazines recommend
hat and band color combinations
for 1941 headgear. With covert
the thing for suits, local stores
are selling covert colored hats
with almost any colored hat bands.
Harmony to h... with the color
is the only essential.
For protection against rain,
cotton coverts are big sellers. But
the plain soft light weibht felt hats
are still O. K. Another hat popular
this year is the smart felt with
the gabardine edging substituting
for the stitching which was high
in popularity recently. Khaki be
it stiched or not fits in the clothes
picture quite well too.
Rainbow the Color.
The limitations on color are nil.
And it can be worn with anything.
With cars and everything else
turning to two tone color comb
inations hats joined the parade
last year. Now the bands are
going two-tone. With your light
tan suit you can wear a brown
hat with a half crown beige ribbon.
It is going strong in the East.
Don't worry if your head'B too
big; or if it's too small. Because
the men that make the hats have
invented an adjustable inner band,
and now true fit and form is a
cinch.
So with styles for any com
plexion, for any taste or any head,
and with prices not too high, hats
shouldn't block anyone's path to
BDOC.
Quoth the Britishers .
Say! What a
Of Girls These
By Norris Anderson.
Sir Smithev Withcrsnoon and
Sir Ree-inald Chambermaid flew in
from Jolly Olde England last week
to aid the Cornhusker kiddies in
selecting a fashion queen.
Extremely collegiate in their
tailored plaid garters and skirts,
VVitherspoon and Chambermaid
wore (and drank) Scotch acces
sories during their opening tour of
the campus. Sir Witherspoon's
deep interest in well-consiruciea
heautv prompted the party to so
journ immediately on a tour of
such historic UN landmarks as
the Tri-Delt, Theta, AOPi, and
Alpha Phi domicles.
Sir Rceinald. another deep stu
dent of basic beauty, vigorously
insisted that the party visit the
Delta Gamma, Kappa, Alpha Chi,
and Gamma Phi interest points.
VVitherspoon and Chambermaid
peered studiously through tneir
moniclea during the tour, consis
tently pausing to note fashion and
other miscellaneous lines.
"Pip, pip, old boy," piped Sir
Reginald, adjusting his left garterr,
"These collegians are a jolly
group. They dress like ruffians,
but I rawther like it. Tins blawsieu
garter!"
"You are correct here, old boy,"
replied Sir VVitherspoon, "All the
co-eds, God bless cm, comply lo a
uniform costume. They look like a
tribe of bar maids and all wear
dirty brown and white footwear,
skirts, and sweaters. I'd call them
roughing togs, right, Sir Cham
bermaid?''
"Not half as odd as the head-
ware. Egad, those hats were posi
tively ghastly. Ugh! Even in a
dainty little dish we fellows like
plenty of pepper. But those hats..
Oh, m'gawd!. . .
By this time, the Englishmen
were rounding the Union corner.

Dire disaster broke at this point
when Sir Reginald's ailing garter
gave way.
"Egad," cried he, "Let's run in
here for repairs and refreshment.
My blushes, Sir Smithey!'
"Reckon I'll try some college
lingo on this passing beauty," re
marked Sir Smithey from a Corn
crib booth. "I say, little chicken,
does your mother know you are
out?"
"Sneeze, kid" coyly answered
the young thing, "your brain in
dusty."
"M'gawd," Chambermaid barked
"she must be a transfer student
from Siberia."
We could dwell at length upon
the adventures of these two
huntrles from Britain, but Pappa
Time forbids. "You'll learn later
