FLAPPER NOT WORSE THUN CO-ED OF ’85 Hair Worn Flying with Loose Dress; Long Earrings In 1795 the college co-ed would never have thought of going for a promenade without her hair thrown back over her shoulders, pinless, bandless, netless, just streaming in a back-to-nature style. Several years previous, in .1772 and 73, the same young lady, because of her bizarre hair dress, would have been forced to seek the aid of a dozen or two of her beloved sisters to draw over and place her calash upon her highly piled hair. This calash, despite its near ness in sound to gaiosn is or an entirely different family. It was a vast col lapsible buggy-top sort of hood distend ed with whale bone. Duo to the tre mendous length of time and the ted iousness of preparing these towering hair dresses the co-eds had to preserve them for weeks and if they became slightly disarranged one of the sisters would superficially touch it up. As we turn the pages of time wo see the co-ed in 1803 wearing the proto type one-piece dress of a very trans parent texture, showing fancy garters and all outlines of her body. The frock often was confined only around the neck. She compeltcd this costume with a sort of turban hat with two towering plumes at least half her height, a string of immense beads, and from her ears hung long bizarre earrings. The liter ature fairly teemed with carryings on, of not only one class of people but so ciety at large. The co-ed of 1810 appears with san dals on her feet and dresses of almost childish length. The brevity of her skirt set off by an oxtremoly low-neck ed waist but in 1819 wo see her again when styles are more conservative in voluminous frills which almost conceal her face. So much, in fact, was her face concealed that she gained the name of “invisible.’' As we pass through these stages of convention we come to our modern co ed, who flatly refuses to be content in a hoop skirt, her hands folded se renely in her lap, and air of joyous ecstasy of primness in her manner. She simply won’t be bothered with a mass of long hair hanging around in her way. She throws away her hair-pins and hair dressing paraphenelia, walks into a barber’s and walks out bobbed. Nor is our present flapper co-ed a new specie. She is just a granddaughter of the previosuly described dandizette who is coming into her own after the sup pression of styles, mauners, and beha viors by the Victorian ago.

Donnelly Gets Letters from Many who Desire Places to Stay During Graduation Time Worries connected with the commence ment exercises of the graduating class of 1923 are not confined to the members of the class alone, thinks Mrs. C. R. Don nelly, advising mother of the “Y” hut. Now is the time when people are writing the Y. M. C. A. seeking information con cerning possibilities of obtaining a lodg ing during that time. Many people come to witness the var ious activities which accompany com mencement, and their arrival makes the solving of the housing situation difficult. Mrs. Donnelly is now working on the tedious problem and is busily engaged in finding places for the visitors to stay. She believes that shortly after June 1 she will have a mimeographed sheet list ing all available houses, which she will send to those who have inquired about lodgings. The list will have the name, address, telephone number and the price desired for every house that will be available. At this same time there are also re quests coming in to Mrs. Donneily for rooms, apartments and houses to be rented by students during summer school. Last year there were 356 people regis tered in the school during the summer months, 150 of whom were taken care of in lodgings furnished by the assistance of the Y. M. C. A. Five fraternity houses were rented and kept up by the people who used them. Mrs. Donnelly requests that if there are any fraternity houses that wish to rent out this summer to students, they will notify her as soon as possible so that she can arrange with the parties who will take them over. Friendly hall will be used and Susan Campbell hall will accommodate 108 students. PAINT APPLIED TO HOUSES Preparing their present abodes for renovation next year, and for the clean liness of the spring weather and the summer, Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity houses are un dergoing the process of change by suf fering new coats of paint to be ap plied.
