Us Girls Think You're Jus' Too, Too Cute in Plaid Socks Pretty Ties Dear Fellows: We have been doing a little scouting around and have discov ered the means by which each and every one of you will be pursued by every glamorous female on campus and will be invited to all the big parties. You, too, may be a BDOC if you follow a few sim ple rules. The girls on this campus have some definite ideas about what they like in men's clothes, besides a handsome brute. They "oh" and "ah" at corduroy jackets espe cially if said articles are cream colored. They swoon at short gaberdine coats, become ecstatic at all types of sport packets with contrasting slacks. Rapture is the word for the feeling they express where you fellows wear pin striped suits. The gals want you to wear bright colored ties and plaid socks. The splendid examples of fem inity at Nebraska report in the memorable words of one babe, 'We all just adore you all to wear summer formals of white coats and dark pants. You all just look Fashion Experts Offer Slyle Hints For leisure hours, for classes, dates or just puttering, Joe Col lege's smart, new attire consists of a loafer coat in wool shades, slacks in one of the new spring shades, and a sports jacket that takes the eye. With that combination fashion experts say that you can be a BDOC. And it helps when it comes to winning that good looking girl in your history class. an too devine."

Jerry Duling is the salesman War Shortages Cause New Conservation . . . On Pants A question which is being asked by young men on campuses all over the country today is this: "Does the present emergency mean I'm going to have to get a com plete new wardrobe bec ause cloth ing manufacturers are going to change suit and pant styles to con serve materials. A definite answer -is hard to find, but here's part of it. Naturally the fashion picture will change somewhat as the war goes on that's the general con census but the changes won't be so suJdt-n that the male student Radio Class Nov Series Members of the radio classes are taking part in a new series of dramatizations of poems by well-known authors sponsored by the Lincoln Jounior League over KFOR at 5 o'clock every Wed nesday. The rust includes a narrator reading parts of the poems and members of the radio classes dra matizing the other parts of them. The series will include: The Pied Piper of Hamlin, by Browning. Unhappy Lot of Mr. Knowt, by Lowell. Lnoch Arden, by Tennyson. Ballad of heading Goal, by Wild. Skipper lver$on' Ride, by Whittier. Dora, by Tennyson. Wtlham and Helen, by Scott. who shows up wearing last fall's suit is going to be a subject for finger-pointing and brhmd-the-back amusement. Woolens Will be Scarce. There will be shortages; that fact is also recognized. Woolens will bo particularly unobtainable. Articles of 100 percent virgin wool, as one expert puts it "will bo found only in the best and niist exclusive museums, under lock, key, and guard." Producers are co-operating in the conservation of this material by using reworked fibers of some of the materials, and others, under orders of the War Production board, will do likewise. Clothing manufacturers will be gin putting out their new war styles early next month. Consumers Can Help. But consumers, too. can help out in a way which will not only help the defense program but as a defense against the too much feared finger-pointing and behind-the-back amuseme:,t. How By wearing those clothes bought last fall, and taking good care of them. The fashions will change only as quickly as the demand for more new clothes changes. That the style will change with the de mand is inevitable the cuffs, vests, pleats, pocket-flaps, shoulder-padding (horrible thought!) and maybe lapels (hor rible, horrible thought.!!) all will be gone. Good Grooming for Morale. It is a recognized fact that good grooming is important to morale as well as for protection from the elements, and probably the best thing for the worried young man to do is to get good clothes, now. and to take exceptionally good care of them. ' Ieal stores report that few shortages in civilian clothing have shown up thus far, but a good many will probably appear by fall or the first of next year. The changes won't occur between one sunset and the fol lowing sunrise; of that you can be sure and who's worrying about "nor more vests" anyway? What the heck IS a "vest?" Goodbye (Sob) Cuffs! f Cuffs are going to be hard hit by the war, and hostesses, cuff links manufacturers, and bankers will also be hard hit. If the cuff links manufacturers go right ahead and manufacture cuff links, where are they going to sell them, and for what? Al though shirt manufacturers will not drop the French cuff com pletely, in a majority of cases, they will be dispensed with. If the hostess doesn t lay in a supply of plenty of ash trays, chances are the male smokers who used to sneak them into their cuffs will just go ahead and shake them on the fl.xir. Then when the im ported rug goes up in smoke, the guest will be excused by saying. "Sorry, but it's all for national defense, you know." And imagine the plight of the bankers. How will the average person be able to tell a banker from a dentist, a doctor, or a poli tician ? Goodbye. . . (sob! sob!) . . .cuffs!
