SPRING HAIRDOS AT NEBRASKA Spring hairstyles are going up here on the Nebraska campus
this spring, or staving at a neat shoulder length. Either way, the emphasis is on the neatness and
simplicity of the hair style. Pictured above are three of the most popular hairdos on the NU campus.
At the left is Sue Samuelson who accentuates her blondeness with a short bob. She wears it in a
waving curl at the nape of her neck, with a pompadour wave in front. In the middle picture, Pat
Baldwin shows how some coeds have kept their shoulder length bobs for the new spring lines. Pat's
auburn hair is worn with a smooth wave in front and combed out in back and on the sides to accen
tuate the natural curl. Joel Bailev, right, shows how suave the new "boyish bob" will look for spring.
Joel wears her brunett tresses cut off in a bob in back with curls around her face.

iCosmo Paper
Cites UN Work
An address by Chancellor R.
G. Gustavson, .complimenting the
students of the University for
having taken steps to hold a
model United Nations assembly,
appears in the March issue of the
University of Nebraska Cosmo
politan; publication of the. Uni
versity Cosmopolitan club.
One way to find a solution to
world problems according to
Chancellor Gustavson, "is for
representatives of organized
groups to come together to study
these matters from many points
of view. As a result of such study
should come recommendations
and programs of action."
Also appearing in this month's
issue is a greeting from H. E.
General Carlos P. Romulo, presi
dent of the fourth session of the
general assembly of the United
Nations: and a message trom Sue
Allen, chairman of the UNESCO
committee of NUCWA, and of the
steering committee of the model
conference.
It also contains a conference
schedule and several other stories
and messages concerning the
United Nations activities at the
University.
Three Lengths Highlight
Spring Formal Picture
By Jane Randall.
"The shorter the better," the
most recent cry in hair-style
trends, has graduated from
"shorter" t "shortest." Thus,
the shingle-bob has come into
existence.
This clip-up routine which has
become a fashion "must" for
smart coeds is best described by
its shaved-up-the-back and curly
frame-around-the-face appear
ance. Some style-wise misses
add bangs swept slightly off the
forehead plus a wave over the
crown to relieve that boyish or
just plain "butch" effect pro
duced by the reverse view.
Then too, this innovation
makes for ultimate ease in pro
ducing a chic coiffure that is the
carbon copy of a Vogue creation.
A quick shampoo, the swish into
place of a couple of pincttrls on
either side, and a time-saver of
a hair-do is fn the making.
The hair dries in an instant,
requiring no setting in the back
unless a wave is desired. The
latter becomes an easy task when
a few drops of wave sot, several
bobbie pins, and a little dexter
ity of the fingers combine forces.
Perfectionist.
The shingle-bobbed coed is a
glooming perfectionist when she
greets the spring with her new
"straight on the head" chapiu.
and her suit or coat with the
flattering stand-up collar, ac
centuated by the ever-popular
tear-drop earring. With all these
wardrobe accessories to comple
ment her hair, how can a smart
girl miss?
Now, this is not a mass move
ment against all those who are
gifted with long flowing locks.
A carefully shaped and thought
fully groomed page-boy is most
appealing, to be sure.
However, its glamour can soon
become an unsuspecting gal's un
doing. The shaggy-dog style or
horsetail rendition are too easily
acquired. Granted, those sleek
creations are still in unceasing
demand, but their popularity
certainly isn't hurting the cute
gals in shinglc-bobs any!

Contest Open for
Air-Mind ed Coeds
Any woman student on cam
pus with talent for writing
about aviation topics is eligible
for the contest sponsored by the
Women's International Associa
tion of Aeronautics.
The contest, open to national
and international writers, pro
fessional or amateur, is spon
sored to stimulate interest in the
various forms of air traffic.
Articles, short and long stories,
and poems are acceptable en
tries. Deadline is Oct. 1, 1950.
Suggested topics are: "Flying
Via Airlines." "Piloting Civilian
Aircraft," "Radio, Movie and
Television Scripts on Aeronau
tics," "Round-World Flights,"
"Aeronautics of the Future" and
"Peace by Air."
Contest entries should be
mailed to Mrs. Ulysses Giant
McQueen. 220 North Dnheny
Drive, Reverlv Hills. Calif.
Heading the list this season in
the way of evening wear are the
white and pastel laces. These
may be seen in either the short
dinner dress or the full-length
formal gown, black predominat
ing in the latter. White, off-white,
and pastel colors make a strong
showing in the shorter lengths.
Nylon tulle is combined with
other fabrics, like lace and taf
feta, and so is chiffon, but to a
smaller degree.
The chiffon dress is a minority
choice with consistently high
fashion endorsement. It appears
in white with silver or gold
beaded bodice, and in black,
flame red, and pink strapless
gowns beautifully draped.
Ankle-length Favorite.
In general the ankle-length
evening dress is a 50 per cent
choice; the floor length is a 30
per cent favorite; and the day
time length evening dress ac
counts for t strong 20 per cent.
The percentages change accord
ing to the place, but always the
ankle-length predominates. As
for the daytime length versus the
floor length, the long evening
gown is preferred at gala events;
the daytime length makes a
stronger showing on formal
nights.
Bare tops remain strong in all
types of evening dresses. Sleeve
less dresses with covered shoul
ders are getting significant ac
ceptance. The biggest short evening dress
of the season is a strapless white
or pastel lace, with snug fitting
bodice and full skirt. The cut! oi
the bodice sometimes has the pat
tern in the lace etched in beads.
and sometimes it is draped and
caught in front with a velvet
bow. Often the velvet is repeated
in a narrow belt or sash. More
dramatic are the short dresses in
bright taffeta, the skirts having
an exaggerated peg top, and bo
dice interest being drawn to one
shoulder with a strap, bow or
rosette.
Iiace Gowns.
The long lace gowns have open
necklines and covered shoulders.
Skirts are full, tiered, or worn
over taffeta petticoats, or pan
eled with insets of nylon net.
Beading appears on bodices and
skirts, and a few of the more
elaborate gowns are beaded all
over, in jet sequins on black lace
worn over white, or seed pearls
on white lace. .
New looking for evening is silk
organdie in white or flesh
trimmed with black lace. While
not a major fashion, it appears
enough to foreshadow greater
importance for summer.
Chiffon prints have not won
noticeable acceptance for eve
ning wear up to this time. Sep
arates are conspicuously absent
from the formal scene this sea
son. T..e bouffant gown with
pleated skirt or tiered skirt
edged in pleated lace ruffles, or

pleated nylon tulle, is one of the
big trends. Starched chiffon in a
rainbow colored print makes an
all around pleated skirt. Another
treatment is seen in straightline
skirts, with small box pleats, the
center of each pleat beaded to
give a striped effect.
Another trend in dresses is
nylon tulle for the all-white or
all-black dress. Crystal beads
are used to trim on the white,
either on the bodice or spattered
over the entire gown. Black lace,
rather than beads or sequins gives
interest to the black net gowns.

lowered when this writer was
assigned to write a column con
cerning the latest in men's spring
fashions. Well sir. we aim to
please, so we're off. Please read
this entire column even tho you
don't want to. Who knows you
may learn something.
First of all we made a survey
of the various stores downtown
thai supply men's furnishings
and we were surprised to find
out that they sell clothes. We
inquired as to what fashions are
beins pushed this sprine and the
general results are as follows,
Light colors in suits and slacks.
Combination suite that can be
worn as not only sport suits but
as regular suits as well. A tread
to a more conservative style in
men's suits, that is. one, two and
three button, long roll, single
breasted suits.
A new style in shirts is poking
around the corner in the form of
the "pin point collar." It is a de
viation of the old "Bold" collar
which permits a smaller tie knot
to be used. Also t collar bar is
used with this new collar. It is
sold in all colors including white.
Surprising isn't it? There seems
to be a war on both sides of "O"
etreet as to the adaption of this
new shirt. The South side claims
that the Bold Look is out while
the North side maintains that it
isn't. Only the actions of the cus
tomers will determine who is
right. Personally, we like the new
pin points.
Miller and Paine is pushing
their new cord sport jackets done
with the Roy Check and Hound
Tooth. They're kind of sharp if
you like that sort of thing. Thry
also have a 3-wajr sensation shirt
which may be worn as a C.aucho,
Turtle Neck or open collar. It
comes in a great array of color
rombinations and sells for $3.95.
The newest in indoor sportswear
Is the pajamas which are nice if
yoo like something different.
Cuffs, tippers, snaps, plaids and
checks are all features of thU
new style in PJ's.
Next we hobbled to Simons
and had a look see at what was
new for you. Beltless slacks,
weird new fabrics which have an
lrridescent air about them are
being presented under the lable
cf "Desert of the Sand." Not too
bad. In the tie department Reps
snd big patters are still the style.
The hand paints are still a large
turnover item.
Over at Magee'a Shirtcraft's
Model "Z" (for ripper) is a big
Item. Iff a good piece of mer
chandise, but watch out and don't

it up. The Terry Cloth Snapons
are a rood present if any of you
gals are wondering. You not only
can dry off after a shower with
them, they're nice for Just plain
lounging. A new awning stripe

models. Nylon loafer socks are
nice if yon Like something new in

be great.
Over at Gold's the usual up to
date merchandise is sure to be
found. Pants with two legs and
five fingered gloves are still the
craving, according to the Gold's
correspondent. One of the new
items that seems to be creating
somewhat of a craze are the
white bucks and moccasins. Of
course they always were the
thing on the East coast and it
has just been recently that the
fad has spread to the cornbelt.
If you want to see how they look
in the raw, contact or observe
Paul Weltcheck.
Across the street at Clarks. the
latest and newest is the combi
nation sport suit and dress suit.
If vou get tired of the drape of a
SDort coat, rebutton the darn
thing and you have a slick single
breasted suit. Not too bad. Some
thing else new at Clarks is the
new light fixtures. Of course
they can't be worn, but at least
you can see what you're buying.
This is the sort of thing we'd like
to see more oi.
One of the stores that not too
many people are familiar with is
Lofink-Thompson. If you want
to see some smart and fascinat
ing new styles try these people.
Most of the merchandise is spe
cial order and believe me the
costs are reasonable enounh. If
you want some extremely fine
shirts (made to order in Oxford
cloth and others see the staff
at Lofink's. They tell me over
there that the side vents and
middle vents in men's coats are
coming back. From what we've
seen, men's clothes are as much
subject to change as are wom
en's. It's a cruel, hard world.
Well, that just about' does it.
As I said before, 1 don't know
much about it so maybe that will
exp ain this column. Some of the
styles that have been suggested
by various people on the campus
are as follows: Passionate women
that can be worn around the
"?ck in practically any season
with money and a car to boot.
Powder blue Cadillac converti
bles are a must for all men who
wish to be a member of the
social set on campus. This is a
contention offered by a few Ne
braska women. AH we say is
hah.
We'll be back to the usual drag
on Friday. Until then, we re

Tops in Woolens
Colors that have a radiant
quality are fashion news for
spring which may be een in
woolen collections.
Again to the fore are coppery
tones, electric and royal blues,
lively navy, emerald green and
blue-cast greens, magenta purple,
and vivid reds, some with purple
casts and rusty orange tones.
In New York, new develop- I
ments in the separates point in ;
new directions for summer pro
motions. I
First and lortmost. sheers have
popped up all over in new
groups. Full skirts, sleeveless
and camisole tops, aid luil
slecved blouses are the formula
all over. Sparkly buttons and
velvet belts are the mark-of-the
year in these.
Linens are causing a lot of new
commotion. Crease-resistant linen
separates are being offered in
skirts and short-sleeved, unlined,
button-front jackets. The skirts
are tailored, straight types or
semi-flared with important pock
ets. Slacks and long shorts are
rriaking an appearance also.
Tweedy Linen
Now a tweedy-looking im
ported linen is beinif introduced
for summer wear. It is woven
in a herring-bone pattern and
has colored slubs. This, and a
good-looking woven plaid linen
(both based on natural) are
shown in skirts with front-box
pleats or unpressed pleats,
in boxy-or-belted-topper-jackets
with deep-puffed elbow sleeves;
in a classic jacket and a young
flarey button-up bolero jacket,
for example.
Spotlight
Oflercd l"r contrast are solid
navy or brown imported 1ittd
jackets or sl-ies blouses. Tbeie
is a solid linen duster, too.
Multiple row of stitching trim
some of the solid linens, and
braid is used to acccnl ti.e
tweedy linen jackets.
Hayon jersey "chiijon weight"
is added for summer. Tucki d
and inverted-pleat fronts on
blouses (with and without
sleeves) are shown to go with
gathered or unpressed-plcaled
skirts, for example, and bright
sashes offer contrast to the two
parts. Eggshell and pink are
some of the colors in this new
group. Gaining Momentum

For example, trends are toward
a circular skirt in a paisley-like
print done in bands and to the
circular skirt in solid cottons
Another summer skirt registering
popular appeal has a low flounce
which sweeps up in back. This is
in woven checked-plaid cotton.
The rayon jersey with all-around
side cleats, too. is gaining in
popularity.
