DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, April 23, 1943 Woman's Ingenuity Surmounts Spring Clothes Shortage Problem BY BETTY KING. Easter season is here, at last. More women look forward to Eas ter than any other season in the year. It is the one season when a woman has a good excuse to buy a whole new outfit not that any woman needs an ' excuse. How ever, a poor excuse is better than none. Even tho rationing has cur tailed spring wardrobes to a cer tain degree, women will still look as smart as ever. This year, as every year, will be a suit spring. Suits will make up in color what they laik in high style. The most popular colors this year are bril liant Kelly green and flame red. Popluar, too, are the soft greys and the lighter pastel colors such as yellow and soft, powder blue. Cinnamon brown is taking the place of the more winterish black. Hats Still Unrationed. Hats are not rationed. That was one thing Washington has not dared to ration. Hats this year are the most frivolous in many years. They are all strikingly Science Teachers Instruct Pre-flight Students at N. M. LAS VEGAS, N.M. (ACP).By enrolling for a special concen trated course to be given in June at New Mexico Highlands uni versity, science teachers will be prprepared to teach pre-flight aeronautics to hundreds of boys in their high schools next fall. Highlands has been selected by Bruce Uthus, director of the pre flight aeronautics program of the civil aeronautics administration, as one of a limited number of col leges qualified to give the course.

Designers have utilized every trimming at their command (feathers, bows, ruffles, and flowers )to make hats the greatest morale bujlder of the season. Purses this year stress quality rather than quantity. Women are buying fewer, but better purses. There are shoulder bags, smaller envelope types, and th new drawstring styles. White Is.

It's the vogue this season to wear last year's spectators and to dress up that navy blue suit with a dash of white, whether it be a lacy collar or long white gloves. Perhaps one Oberlin Students Select Japanese For Presidency OBERLIN, OHIO (ACP) The student body of Oberlin col lege elected Kenji Okuda, 20, a Japanese-American, to the presi dency of the student council in an nual school elections. Okuda came to Oberlin in Jan uary after the federal bureau of investigation had released him from the Granada relocation pro ject in Colorado for college study. He was given a scholarship by Oberlin authorities. pull on gloves or those with one button underneath the wrist. Women have hoarded their precious number seventeen stamp until Easter. Now, they blossom out in shiny kid pumps, striking alligator or lizard sandals, and a few fortunate ones in spectatores. Colors in shoes are limited. If you had your heart set on a particular color, the only thing you can do is continue looking in the hope that some store has been saving it just for you. If nature doesn't ration sun shine, the Easter parade will be seen as lovely as ever. If nature is perverse, leave it to the women they'll think up something! so get a new convertible (a dress that looks smart with any type of accessory and can change 'bout with several blouses of different shades). Hats as usual are styled down the line from the cowboy's som bero to the new private's top notcher (see Love library). Purple, white, blue and off shades of green are favorites of the campus, Many of the hats are in midget size a slightly tilt over an alert eye. Flowers Add. Pink camellias or violets may poke themselves jauntily from Mademoiselle's curls. Artificial ones will do, but try your own garden first. For walking those extra steps, or even miles, shoes are designed tor service and duration wear. Stable colors such a black, brown, and navy blue are smooth with any spring newness. "Right Dress" has taken on a new meaning style with economy. So fall in and swing along with the annual parade. This Collegiate World The nightmare of every genera tion of University of Oregon freshman ducking in the campus millrace has been laid to rest, but not because of the efforts of yearlings. The student discipline committee outlawed the time-hallowed practice when the infirmary complained that it was housing many freshmen and other stu dents who had caught cold from being dumped into the icy waters of the stream. Dr. Michael Bernreither, instruc tor at the University of Kansas school of medicine, once threw a 32-ounce beer stein at Adolf Hitler and missed. Recently he joined the army medical corps as a captain, still seeking a chance to destroy the fueshrer. A Sp&dcuE (Courses SHORTHAND ACCOUNTING TYPING III SINESS MCK1S.

War or no war, Nebraska Coeds will be all decked out in their finest, come Easter morning. Pas tel and plaid suits seem to take the highlight in the fashion world today. Perchance you rise early enough Easter morn, you will probably see contrasting plaids in pink, light green, blue, and white, worn over white frilly blouses, top ped off by a pair of specs, and a cute little hat. And while we are on the subject of hats, after being in some of the shops this week, I would advise you to be prepared for anything in the line of Easter bonnets. The gals are wearing them all shapes and sizes this year. The shoppes are showing some little numbers, approximately three inches in diamdiameter. Hats Art Smaller. Yes, this is war, so we are conserving on material, even in hats; consequently we'll probably see many strange sights adorning the heads of Nebraska Coeds. But, to get back on the subject of suits. We've eeen some smooth-looking chartreuese, yellow, rose, and other pastel suits, displayed in the During War Years . . Education Survey Shoivs Rise In Number of Faculty Women As might be expected, the num ber of women faculty members in American universities, colleges and junior colleges has increased with the advance of the war. The num ber of men on college staffs has been reduced. In all, an Office of Education survey discloses, the colleges have lost over 7,000 men from their faculties. They gained 470 women, giving a net decrease of 6,550 col lege faculty members. Teachers' colleges and normal schools have STARS . . .

The classes thev will be takinc here may be classes as "refresher work" to prepare them for future studies. Besides civilian instruct ors and advisers there is a staff of officers assigned to the STARS.

Not only is doe akin becoming more and more popular because of its suede-like appear ance, but it is also economical in that a good "sudsing" will work wonders when your purse, gloves, or shoes get that dingy appear ance. Colors Are Patriotic. In case you want to be differ ent, and just aren's interested in suits this spring, navy blue silk crepe, two-piece dresses, with white frilly collar and cuff and a slight red trimming here and there is quite the thing. And if you really want to look patriotic, use next month's pay check and buy yourself a cut little navy blue sailor, tirmmed in -red, a pair of seventeen-stamp navy blue alligator shoes, and a huge red and blue over-the-shoulder purse. Do this and we promise you that fellow- In the Navy will love you! Well, this is the best we can do for this Easter. You may not like our idea of prevailing fashions this espring, but if you don't fol low our suggestions, just don't say we didn't give you fair warning. In American Colleges lost both men and women. Dur ing the year 1939-1940, there were 5,068 men and 4,059 women on the staffs of junior colleges alone. In the current year, 1942-43, on the basis of latest reports, there was only a one-man edge in the number of faculty members in junior col leges. Men numbered 4,372; women, 4,371. It is no less noteworthy that the number of male students in col leges of ali types has dropped in the three-year period by more than 22 percent. In 1939-1940 there were approximately 900,000 men in all the colleges. Today the num ber is less by more than 200,000. Half the men students have left the teachers' colleges and normal schools, one-third have dropped from the rolls of junior colleges, and one-fifth have left the uni versities, colleges, and professional schools. Social Work... (Continued from Page 1.) on courses and subjects necessary to gain admittance Into any school of social work. War Causes Shortages In the last few years social work has expanded tremendously. The rate of expansion has far exceeded the availability of qualified per sonnel with the result that vnr state has a serious shortage of workers. War has also made serious inroads on personnel so that the shortage is more acute than ever. While war has taken away many social workers it hna nt th same time increased the demand for them in such programs as the Red Cross. After the war social workers will be in demand to aid with the rebuilding of Aevatattrt countries and the re-adjustment 10 peace, ana in helping men in the armed service and their fami lies with their difficulties.
