UO Threshold Advice
Given to '44 Wed foots
While campus male clothing
problems are not so perplexing
as the wardrobe of coeds, never
theless, they are just as impor
tant and should be considered
carefully before spending too
much money into wearables.
The new student steps into an
entirely new atmosphere when he
enters college from high school.
There is a change, whether no
ticeable at first or not. Unlike
prep school days, the best advice
for new students to accept is to
dress simply and plainly and
leave minute-fad's behind.
The college freshman usually
finds that he can get along
through his first year in the tra
ditional “frosh” pants, slacks, and
soft sweaters for daily classroom
wear. Shirts are probably the "big
gest item and they are handy to
have, but there is no apparent
need to overstock on them. White
shirts are acceptable anytime,
anywhere.
Along with the staple menu of
shirts, socks either in bold, gau
dy stripes or plain are worn al
most universally, with the ex
ception of dress-up affairs. Then
it is wise to dress conservatively.
Brightly colored socks should
never be worn with suits.
Most Oregon males find good
use for a sport coat during the
year as there are several social
occasions when they are correct.
The new student should also
bring along a dark suit for house
dances and University dances.
However, he needn’t worry about
tuxedos. Freshmen, according to
tradition, aren’t supposed to wear
them their first year anyway.
Fads are -fun to wear, while
they last, but the best advice is
to wait and see what fads orig
inate on the Oregon campus
rather than to stock up trunks
with them. It is not always true
that it is best to wait and buy
clohes when you arrive at college,
but it is sound advice here for
clothing stores in Eugene strive
o maintain clothing stocks to
suit college students due to their
large patronage.
But unlike most colleges, Ore
gon students don’t over-empha
size clothes. One can get by eas
ily by using common-sense. But
a few tips might be wise: buy
slacks and sport coats that keep
their press easily; one can’t go
wrong with white shirts and a
few good-looking ties; beware of
junk and don’t overstock on any
one thing, unless the articles are
staple; and buy what satisfies,
don’t necessarily listen to the dic
tates of fashion unless you have
means to collect a large ward
robe. Dress simply, plainly and
neatly.

A Personal Announcement
to Oregon Students
A great University must have a brilliant faculty, a
complete library, a well rounded list of courses, and a
delightful and desirable place for leisure time entertain
ment. We, the major theatres in Eugene, are delighted
to announce to the students of the University that this
coming fall term the selection of pictures to be presented
in Eugene’s finer theatres are the best obtainable from
Hollywood.
