Designers Sacrifice
Their Imaginations
If we can be thankful of anything in this
war, it must be that it has put a harness on
the designing minds of the nation's clothing
stylists. The WPB has clamped down on cloth
ing manufacturers so at least for the duration
of the war there won't be any radical changes
in styles for both men and women.
No longer will suit designers be able to
change the styles of men's wear from belted
backs to plain backs, from narrow cuff to wide
cuff, from short coats to long coMs, from split
coats to unsplit coats.
Beginning April 30 the variations in the
style of men's suits will be negligible in com
parison to annual and semi-annual changing of
styles which has existec1 icretofore. The cuffs
on men's suits will be eliminated and pleats of
any kind will become a thing of the past.
These two compulsory style changes present
no problem to the men who can't afford to
change suits when the styles do, because nei
ther will be an obvious change.
It is common talk that clothing manufact
urers have changed styles repeatedly to create
a market which otherwise would not be pres
ent. There's nothing wrong with such methods
if the people want to be taken in by them.
Creating a market is just good busincs.
The war has changed all this. Instead of
trying to increase clothing consumption in cer
tain categories of apparel, the War Produc
tions Board is trying to decrease consumption
in an effort to conserve materials, particularly,
wool, which is needed to clothe the Allied
armies. Manufacturers an Relf-realizing or
are being made to realize that it really doesn't
make an iota of difference whether coats are
short or long.
If there is a reduction in sales due to style

During April students were asked to de

American Library Association had advised
colleges over the country to collect books. for
soldiers. Technical books were most highly in
demand.
As a war measure the Kstes Park YWCA
conference was cancelled in favor of a similar
larger conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin,
just north of Chicago.
All girls in university Red Cross work pa
raded in the streets of Lincoln as a feature of
the Third Liberty Loan Drive. Those taking
part wore white dresses or black dresses with
white aprons and large white handkerchiefs as
head covering.
Popular war phrases from the "boys" at
the front included: Boche, an abbreviation of
caboche, a hobnail with hard, rough, and
square head. "Big stuff" was the name for
the various kinds of large German shells, while
high explosive ones were called "crumps." Be

the fact that a short run loss is infinitely better
than a long run loss.
Don't Be Military When
'He' Gets His Furlough
"What shall I wear? Will he
want me to dress in the same
clothes I wore when he left? How
ehall I act?"
These are not the questions of
a wife who will greet her husband
as he is released from prison, but
those of many coeds as they greet
their boy friends on furlough.
Just one caution don't wear
strictly military tailored clothes,
or your Red Cross uniform, if you
have one. He has by all probabil
ity seen enough uniforms by the
time he is given a furlough.
Do not go to the other extreme
too entirely and give him the idea
you are not patriotic, for he is
giving up a lot for his country and
thinks you should be doing your
part.
Strike That Happy Medium.
A happy medium would be a
light blue skirt, white blouse with
tiny flowers bordering the pocket
and used for buttons, and a solft
white wool coat This for sports.
For semi-dressy dress for the
show or an evening with the folks
is a brightly flowered red and
white silk dress with the new
tailored V neckline. It is pleasing
to the eye and quite flattering.
The formal chosen as one of the
most striking of the season is that
chosen by Nebraska's Typical
Coed. It is white silk jersey, one
nhouldi-r strap is of. the 'jersey,
the other a rliineston bund. The
lines are soft and fall in huge
folds. In her hair she wears a
bird covered with sequins.
For those few minutes with
nothing to do, a slack suit in the
new overall type is flattering and
practical. They come in red and
white candy stripe or blue and
white candy stripe. They are worn
with white cotton shirts, are easy
to launder and comfortable to
wear.
What army, navy or air boy
wouldn't be happy to spend his
furlough with his best girl dressed
in these brand new fashions.

No Rubber
Rain Fashion
Trends Change
War will dampen the spirits of
many Nebraska coeds who find
themselves minus oil-silk rain
coats, rubber boots and umbrellas.
There aren't going to be any
more.
Showers will trickle off gaber
dine, army twill, and synthetic
materials, the manufacturers hope.
Overshoes, galoshes and 1941's big
fad, boots, will be superseded by
water proofed tops, synthetic rub
ber soles all fastened together
with a couple of buckles in the
1920 galosh style.
Straight coats with raglcn
sleeves whipped up in water-proof
material are to take over the rain
coats. These beltless protectors
will be in standard colors only.
A banner color v. ill be raised
against the dismal rainy days for
umbrellas will light-hearted
colors. Gay prints, checks, stripes,
and plaids in plastics will shelter
coeds' heads.

The Inner Sanctuary
To one, who lives through tragic experiences, there conies
the discovery of ihe inner sanctuary to which any tormented
soul may retire for peace, comfort, and safety. Here, away from
all danger, one may be oneself without fear and without perse
cution. Over and over again we observe those who, despite the bit
terest oppression and the most cruel treatment, cannot be con
quered. Jt is because no weapons prevail against the impreg
nable walls of the inner sanctuary.. Many and many times over
we marvel to see men and women take severe physical or vocal
blows without losing confidence or poise. Jt is because no in
vader can break through the intangible barriers.
How often we remark concerning the emergence of a new
self when referring to some individual. We do not realize that
the new self is only the real self coming out of the inner sanc
tuary when oppression- ceases. How often we say that one re
tires within himself to avoid senseless personal conflicts. It is
fortunate that such a retirement is possible and so often taken
advantage of. There are cases, many of them, showing conster
nation of those seeking to break the spirits of others. The vic
tims simply refuse to allow spirits to be broken and remain as
individual in personality ns ever.
With all this in mind, the prospect is stimulating to one
confronted with problems of personality adjustment. Dejec
tion, discouragement, fear, and melancholy need not destroy or
cripple one's owo being. There can be strength, courage, and
confidence dominant in every personality and under such influ
ence one may be happy, vivacious, and contributive.
Very truly,
