VITAL STATISTICS
Two Coeds Find Birth Certificates
Not Entirely Accurate Identification
By PAT PECK
Feature Editor
Being bom can be rough
But you may never discover it
until you send to the Bureau of
Vital statistics ror your Dirtn
certificate.
Thli wai the ease of two Uni
versity coeds who recently
turned twenty-one and tent In
for the documents to prove that
they were born.
Diane Downing, a theater stu
, dent, received her birth certifi
cate only to discover that she had
been deluding the world and did
not have a first name at all. Ac
cording to the law she is D-(7$
Downing. Perhaps this places her
In danger of having her ID card
confiscated.
Equally shocking was tht ease
ef one Tlsh Barry who glee
fully requested her bith certi
ficate on her 21st birthday.
There was the Incriminating
document. In the space marked
for the signature of her father
was the name of the attending
physician. Who says that fa
ther's are the ones who get the
most excited over blessed
events.
In case you never noticed, on
your birth certificate there is a
place after the record of birth to
be checked as to whether you
were born alive or otherwise. If
you were born otherwise please
report this to the official imme
diately or the man In the corner
store may reject the certificate as
false ldentitication.
The new rule passed last year
making It necessary for persons
undrT 21 to present their birth
eertlfioate In order to obtain a
drivers license was Irrtating to
some people. What a blow to
find out that if you had lied
about your age they would have
Issued a license without a
whimper, but that If you told
the truth under 21 they would
not Issue a license.
Birth certificates may lore their
Importance it the new ruling prn
posed by the mayor and the City
At. t a 4. l f.
t-ouncu goes mrougn. unaer in
ruling you make out your own
birth certificate and sign it if you
wish to purchase an tlcohollc bev-
lerage. The otilclajs nave mnicci
that it will be dangerous not to
remember when you were born.
When It comes, down' to cases,
what is the future in proving tha
vou were born? Why doesn't
someone try proving that he
wasn't Just for a change.

Counselors See Fair (Fashions
By DARWIN MCAFEE ,
Staff Writer
Eyes sparkled at the fur style
ihow Wednesday night, ns spec
iators wistfully hoped that
Jhristmas would find them pull
ing a muskrat, broadtail lamb or
oossibly even a seal fur coat out
f their stocking hung by the
Iresidj bright.
The show, sponsored by Coed
Counselors with the co-operation
of a local Fur Company,
rave Its spectators a preview of
1952-53 fur fashions and prices
and some helpful hints on what
to look for when buying a fur
eoat.
Lee Davis, head salesman who
nitrated the show, started it off
by demonstrating how the furrier
determines the style the customer
desires. By use or a plain ciotn
model, the features of which may
be changed to satisfy the cus
tomer's taste, the elements of tht
final product are ascertained.
These characteristics are then
transfered to a sketch of the coat
showing the fur of the customers
choice, which in turn is turned
out as complete coat.
BrgtnnlnT witn rabbit, Davis
explained how the coats of var
ious furs are made and evalu
ated them In terms of durabil
ity, practicability and beauty.
He stated that Australian or
New Zealand Coney rabbit was
best adapted for coats. It may
be dyed any color and although
It Is quite spongy and stretchy,
stay cloth sewed on helps keep
the coat In shape.
A smart rabbit pea jecket, black
In color, modeled by Nanrer
Peterson and priced at under $100,
was described ideal for college
coeds. Modeled after the original
Navy pea coats, the straight boxy
Jacket looked like just the thing
for the nippy days ahead.
Ellen Svoboda modeled a honey
shade Japanese rabbit of a lighter
and fluffier fur. Its adjustable
sleeves and patch pockets exemp
lified two features which are
characteristic of the new fashions.
According to Davis, the pro
cessed lamb mouton worn by
Ruth Randolph, Is the collere
favorite because it wears ex
tremely well. j
Crowding mouton for durnbil-i
ity is Laborador seal which wears
almost as well, Davis said.
Probably the most popular
versatile and universally used fur
coat is the muskrat coat made
from the flank of the animal,
which is the weaker part of the
fur. The leather is weakened by
ill the processing it has to go
through. Although it a beautiful
coat it should be worn with a
great deal of caution. The back
of the muskrat fur is stronger and
Is used for another type of coat.
The flanks, discarded by persons
working with the backs, are sal
vaged and sewed into large sheets
and sent to furriers who cut the
coat from it.
The new color out this year,
especially adaptable ' to musk
rat, is haiel brown, a term
coined by a New York furrier.
Because of recent legislation
concerning furs it is now man
datory that furs be called by
their actual origin, that Is, as in
the case of black sheared dyed
muskrat which is better known
as Hudson seal.
Murmurs of approval arose
from the audience of sixty coeds
as Ruth Randolph strolled by in
a new blue grey broadtail pro
cessed lamb with silver blue mink
cuffs. Pctltely short and priced at
$298 it was described by Davi3
as "the height of fashion."
The broadtail coats, which come
from South America, are made
from wool sheared from young
lambs. They have two distinct
layers of leather and are designed
to ripple nicely In the back.
"Look at both fides of a fur
coat," advised Davis as Kathy
Shanks glided In wearing a dark
brown three-quarter length
Canadian Beaver, "one side for
beauty and the other to see
what kind of leather you are
getting.
Getting back to American furs,
Marilyn Tyson modeled a natural
silver fox stole which is designed
to stay where the wearer puts it.
Every part of the mink is used
for coats except the ears and
snout, explained Davis as an
Aleutian mink gill (white under
throat) was demonstrated. With
its patch pockets and notched col
lar he termed it as definitely a
junior coat.
Commenting on Russian Erm
ine he said that "It is very frag
ile and probably the most lux
urious fur coat made. Wear it a
week or so and the cuff will
probably be worn to quite an
extent.
Listing shorter lengths, fuller
bodies, face framing collars and
lower prices as additional features
of the new fashions, Davis con
cluded the show witn a mink coat
modeled by Mary Ida Barnes,
valued at $3,008 and containing
30,000 seams.
