This student wears her hair in soft curls around her face, forming a halo effect However, some prefer to leave the hair completely straight, while others only curl the sides. The main factor, is the shape of the face. This is just a preview of the hair styles popular with NU coeds. and even give a lift to those morales along about Military ball exam time Keeping practicability in mind, a good, strong winter coat is one very essential item.

Such events and activities as Union dances, Sunday night flick ers, ping pong and bridge tourna ments, lessons in dancing and bridge, the craft shop, convoca tions, parties and even the juke box in the crib all are taken care of through the Union activities committees.

In closing, you might find this suggestion helpful Dont stock up on your entire wardrobe be fore you arrive on campus.

' Joe College9 Fashions Lean To Simplicity WHAT TO WEAR, when to wear it, and how to look colleg iate. Every college freshman faces this problem when .he comes, to the campus the first time. The best answer to the problem of what to wear boils down to simplicity, whether it be in men's or women's fashions. First of all. what to wear to class is of prime importance. The typical Joe College picture visual izing a neat appearing young man in saddles very loud saddles has entered a lost age, for such young men are rarely on the Nebraska campus Instead, a typical Joe College enters the classroom each morn ing in a pair of clean levis or cords with a white shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, or a nice looking wool pullover. The sweaters, varied in fashion, range from cashmere to a combination wool and suede barrel sweater. When the weather gets a little cooler, brightly checked or. plain colored wool shirts are worn with the levies or cords, or the neces sary garbardine slacks. Lether or suede jackets or gar badine top coats are worn during the winter months, to stem the cold winds, and when the zero mark is hit, out comes the wind breakers and hooded jackets. Of course, every college man should have a good suit that is suitable for movie dates or for semi-formal dance. Ard speaking of suits, dress shirts are becoming more of a noted apparel than in previous years. They will be fea tured in pastel shades, almost al ways with French cuffs and simple cuff links. Getting on to formal attire, contrary to beliefs, tuxedos are not a campus "must". However, they are a good item to have on hand if the budget permits, but if not, there are several shoos in Lincoln that rent them for nominal fees. Many times a dark suit is suitable instead of the required -tux," Shoes are alse another item of interest on the men's fashion list. Oxfords, sponge soled loafers, casuals, and the new white suede shoes will be popular on campus this falL All will be clean and neat in appearance. With a wardrobe including .a few of each of the items men tioned above, any college man can be called well dressed, and be the typical Joe College of today. In summary, it takes a neat appearance, plus a good person ality to fill a typical Joe Col lege wardrobe. 1 t f Conventional Bob This shoulder-length hairdo has lasted thru the long-hair to boyish cut areas. It has proven its popularity by the refusal of thousands of women to cut their tresses. If, as in the case above, the coed has naturally curly hair, and finds this style more becom ing, nothing any sharper than a comb is allowed near the bead. If you happen to look better ia the shoulder-length bob, don't take Red Cross College Unit. AH Uni-1 wear it in thm w hat Liiil'i versity Fund, and many others. I you the best ... it's conventional.
