Style-Conscious Coeds
Go All-Out for Winter
BY ELEANOR KNOLL.
Bundled up like Baby Buntings,
Instead of just "babes," the coeds
met the first winter weather of
the year with every sort of scarf
bandanna, slack outfit, and pair
of overshoes they could find in
the back of those much-too-full-already
closets.
Thinking more of warmth than
Btrictly feminine fashions, coeds
appeared in slacks, woolen ones
or plaid ones, cotton or rayon, and
even, here and there, a pair of

jeans. A few brave souls endan
gered their precious possessions
by wearing the usual anklets. One
slack-wearer seeing herself be
moaned, "I'm going to diet, right
now!" Marcia Woodruff beat all
other plans with the prettiest pair
of knec-sox, blue and gray plaid.
Coeds, always conscious of
style, matched sweaters with
slacks, on white or loud plaid
shirts with he-man pants to ap
pear casual but smooth, in other
words, the I-just-h a p p e n e d-to-have-this-nasty-old-outfit
- which
I - haven't - worn-in-public appear
ance. Coeds Get Cold Feet.
From back in many closets, too,
came overshoes, snowboats, and
stadium boots which some fond
mother, no doubt, insisted remain
here regardless of apparent spring
weather. Some poor little toesies.
however, found themselves nipped
by the cold when no big bungle
some, but dry, overshoes protected
them. In other words, some coeds
got cold feet, in more ways than
one.
Among those whose strength
seemed doubled by the "frosty"
weather were Nancy Sutton, Shir
ley King, Sadie Hawkins, Demaris
Morton, and Margaret Reese. The
fair maidens held at range mem
bers of ATO and Beta in a bat
tling, blood-thirsty, bust-up snow
ball light,
A coed's diary might read at
the end of such a day of snow
like this: "Today it snowed. Lost
one mitten; tore out my pre-war
rubber boots; fell down in my new
pair of wool slacks which I got
last July; my hair's clown; froze
my toe; lost my head-scarf Gee
what a day!"
