WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1969 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 5 Women's fashions for include pastels. 6bare , The weather may still seem like winter, but It Is spring according to the calendar, and that is what Lin coln's clothing stores are going by. Spring and Easter fashions are featured in window displays throughout the city, showing the variety of "looks" available to coeds this season. Colleen Ehman, a college represen tative in Miller and Paine's Boutique, predicted the popularity of pastel dresses, especially those made of see through voile, decorated with small floral prints and French ribbon designs. She also approved of big, floppy hats to accent spring outfits. Miss Mary Louise Babst, fashion coordinator at Miller's, previewed other aspects of the fashion scene. SHE OBSERVED that the Americana look of red, white and blue will be big news this spring, but that fashion designers have found many new ways to use the bright colors besides outdated suits. The emphasis in sportswear is the bare look with halter shifts, coutout sundresses and bare midriff costumes. Flare-bottom pants are expected to maintain their popularity along with new items such as polo shirts and tennis dresses. The wet look will be seen in clingy blouses with wide collars and cuffs, and in the short slicker jackets which can be worn over bikinis for sailing and swimming. Some stockings even reflect the influence of the shimmery, wet look. ONE PIECE SWIM suits are becoming more important, according to Miss Babst, but they differ from the ones coeds remember from their camp days. The new one-piecers are cut low and cut-out in provocative places, patterned with unusual designs such as bulls eyes. Accents are often at the waist. Miss Babst says that often "cutouts make the suits sexier than bikinis." Weather hampers baseball by Mark Gordon Sports Editor NU baseball coach Tony Shame returned to Lincoln Sunday night with four wins in six games at Houston against Houston University. But he left the most important ingredient for a successful Big Eight season in Texas. When Sharpe returned to Nebraska's cold temperatures and wintry conditions, he left friendly sunshine annd warm weather, ex plaining that the lack of baseball weather is his main concern. "We're hoping the weatherman gives us a break," he added. "There's nothing like practicing outside." While Sharpe said he was amazed at the team's success at Houston, he idded, "We knew all along we had i pretty good team, but you never know how a team will do in game onditions. He also said the squad hit better than he had exptced. NEBRASKA SCORED 26 runs in cluding one 10-run performance and another seven run outing, both of which produced Husker victories. Leading the way was third baseman Tom Tidball with six hits, five RBIs and one homer. "The team kept their timing up well," the coach said. "We could see that they were more relaxed and con fident in their hitting as the week went along." With only two seniors and six returning lettermen, Sharpe said it was amazing that NU handled so many situations with a minimum of errors. He added that four or five mechanical miscues were made, but as far as actual mechanics the Huskers committed few mistakes. In terming the freshman-dominated pitching staff's performance a s unbelievable, he credited freshmen Gene Stohs and Paul Marek with ex cellent showings. STOHS, A GRAND ISLAND native, won two games yielding two runs in 12 innings, while Marek permitted one hit and struck out seven batters in eight innings in the 4-2 Husker triumph in the series' finale last Saturday. Although senior pitcher Al Burby faltered somewhat, Sharpe said the left-hander was hit in the arm with Rifle team places third in meet After Nebraska's first rifle squad finished third in the 16th annual Nebraska Invitational Rifle Meet, team member and meet director Jim McCabe Is hoping for a higher finish at the Big Eight meet. "We should be in pretty good shape lor the Big Eight meet." he said. "We beat Oklahoma and Missouri this weekend besides finishing higher than the other league squads.'" The Big Eight meet will be April '24-26 at the University of Kansas, McCabe said, adding that the team will begin practicing immediately for the meet. The University of Missouri at Rolla swept to the team title in the Nebraska meet with 2242 points, ahead of the University of Alaska with 2175, Nebraska with 2161, Missouri at Columbia 2156 and the University of South Dakota. Alaska won t h e women's title with 2081 and Cre'ighton University had 1920. Holla's Robert Hill won the In dividual title with 5C6 and Alaska's Mi-American Barbara DeSpain was isecond with 565.

The coach added that Furby is a semi-pitching coach who has done a fine job working with the younger hurlers. Another freshman pitcher, Bruce Cramer from Beatrice, apparently established himself as the squad's main relief pitcher, Sharpe said, ad ding that the right-hander tossed six scoreless Innings against the Cougars. Although Sharpe set Monday as a non-practice day, he said NU would be practicing hard from Tuesday on for the team's Big Eight opener next Friday against the Kansas State Wildcats. Following a 1:30 doubleheader against K-State Friday on the NU Vine Street field, the teams meet at 1 p.m. Saturday. "I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL win any championships or not," he said, "but if we don't overcoach them, they will be all right."

Spring will be a season when those little extras can make or break an outfit, and Miss Babst observed that accessories will be worn in multiples. Perhaps the most valuable single accessory is the oblong scarf, or dozen of them. They are worn almost anywhere, with pants and dresses, around the neck, waist or hips, or tied around the head, gypsy or Indian style. The chains which were so popular last fall are still around, but in many new places, such as on pants and even around the waist, worn with bikinis. ROUND TOED, clunky heeled shoes will still be seen, but sandals will also put in an appearance, worn with city clothes. Spectators, part of the Thirties look, are adding a little height to the heels. Purses are soft and pouchy, with "safari bags" being so popular that Hovland-Swanson reports difficulty keeping them in stock. Spring will see less texture in hosiery with emphasis in subtlety. Mis Babst added that see-through clothes demand special consideration regarding lingerie. Such conveniences as panty hose, body stockings, bra slips and garterless girdles should be popular. Miss Babst concluded that the spring fashion season should be particularly exciting, as it will be a time that a girl can take any particular look that appeals to her and make it her own. 4 1 'A 1 m r 'f ( -'1- :rjr fit f.?r j&a.
