usually interested in the style,
the color and the fabric. About

Kappa Sig formal concerns their
novel corsages. Each corsage
was made of dollar bills and
though the girls didn't get to
take their corsages home with
them, they didn't mind because
the dollar bills were turned over
to the March of Dimes. Quite
commendable!

Between Acts Tryouts
Tryouts for between act en

this year.
The tryouts will take place
Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m. in the

judging will be held Thursday.
Applications may be obtained
from Sue Holmes, director of
between acts entertainment or
at 1541 S Street.
Miss Holmes slated that
there are openings for singers,
dancers, instrument players
and other types of short acts.
She emphasized that tryouts
are being held after announce

the participation of those who
were in acts not being used.
She added that this enter

tcmpetitive basis. The tryoute
are only for participation in

Now as to the styles this year,
the jackets are in the news.
You will find many of the
jackets are similar to the ones
shown in the past But one of
the newer jackets this year is
the Spencer jacket which comes
either to the waist or above the
waist. The Spencer jacket us
ually has three-quarter length
sleeves that are rather full.
Other details that are making
news is the short curved fitting
jacket to go with that new full

I know that you are probably
thinking that full skirts just don't
look well on you. Sometimes this
is true and designers have taken
this into consideration. Since the
