DAILY NEBRASKAN
Suits The Thing for Spring
Pep I urns Back for Dating
BY MARYLOUISE GOODWIN.
The spring zephyrs which have
been bringing the green out on the
mall and making the life of full
skirt wearers hectic are also bring
ing spring clothes from the closet.
Those who want to make some
additions to their wardrobe will
find basic spring suits meet all the
requirements placed upon clothes
in these uncertain times. They're
useful, versatile, and have plenty
of eye appeal. A look into the
alteration department of any of
the local stores shows that they
haven't been overlooked this spring
either, for spring suits are piled
high waiting to be fitted.
Two Purpose Suits.
The suits come in softly tailored
styles which can be either dressed
up or sporty as the occasion may
require. Frou-frou front blouses
or simple shirt waists will give the
desired effect.
For that extra special date the
peplum styled dresses are back
again but not nearly so full as
those of a couple of years back.
However, they look very chic with
a set in bolt.
For the college girl nothing will
replace the two piece dress, simple
yet smart in all the pastel shades.
Coat dresses are as practical as
ever but three piece suits are def
initely out, however, a suit and
coat to match may be purchased
easily.
Watch Out Priorities.

experts to shop more open-mind-

Weakest Spots

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ACP).
The war is going to show us our
educational soft spots the hard
way, according to Dr. Frederick
H. Lund, who believes too many
college freshmen are homesick and
too many high school students
tell the teachers "to go to hell."
A professor of psychology at
Temple university, Dr. Lund is
lookinf to the 18-19 year old draft
to show us these soft spots.
"Education for war should be
tough," he said. 'How can we ex
pect to have discipline in the field
if these young men can't stand
disciplinary action in college?"
"Pupils must be taught to obey
first. Then there should be a hard
ening of the curriculum so that
the pupil is forced to develop ade

"Battle for the Solomons," by
Ira Wolfert, is another chapter in
the war in the Solomons. Wolfert,
a newspaper correspondent, gives
an eyewitness account of the three
dimensional fighting air, land,
and sea. The battle reached its
peak at the time of his visit to the
jungle-fighting front lines. One of
the high spots of the story is the
forty-five minute duel between a
flying fortress in which the author
was flying and a Jap flying boat.
Maxwell Anderson's "The Kve
of St. Mark" is a stsry of an
American private. The private,
Quizz West, went from farm life,
through training camp and the
adventures of a Pacific convoy, to
a courageous stand on Bataan. Of
all the men on Bataan six men
voted to fight on although they
were free to leave. Quizz was one
of them. His story is a mixture of
realism, h u m o r, idealism, and
tragedy. A stage version of this
book is currently playing on the
New York stage.

His book tells the experiences

through the Arctic to Murmansk.

No. 17 Stamp?
Qabardine For
Buy Patent,
Spring Wear
So you can't decide what to do
with that No. 17 stamp? It's a
struggle no doubt to make up your
mind whether to buy those fragile
little numbers in such-and-such a
window or to get a good sturdy
pair that can be worn to school
for the duration.
Here are a few tips that may
help you out of your dilemma and
at the same time put your 17
stamp to good use.
First of all, for the girl who
wants something that can be worn
with almost any costume for all
occasions, is the gabardine shoe
with the alligator calf trim in
brown. Practical and smart, this
shoe may be worn with brown,
black and even blue and with
many spring colors, particularly
pastels.
For a strictly dress-up shoe, the
black patent with sling back and
the pom-pom on 'the toe is the
thing, but don't try walking in it
for it just wasn't made fur hard
wear.
Another all around shoe is the
gabardine number with tailored
faille and plastic bow. It comes
in high or "Hi-lo" heel. Then, of
course, there is always the She
nanigan with its open toe and heel
in turf tan, Java, camp brown and
beige made of durable alligator
lizard.
For Walking.
An almost perfect walking shoe
is the square toed oxford with the
plastic Cuban heel in tan, brown
or black and made from calf's
leather.
The coed's delight for summer,
Spectator pumps in high or me
dium heel in blue, black or brown
and white, is out for the duration,
but "Specs" may be bought in
solid cclor.
Yes, think twice before tearing
off No. 17. The shoes you get
with it will be the last pair you
will be able to get until June
under the three-pair-a-year ration
ing method. The variety of colors
in which shoes come have already
been cut and fancy cuts will soon
be on the way out too. So buy
wisely and well with an eye to
usefulness and durability.
