Pntodtynam Reluctant Benton.
“What am I going to wear this fall?” squawked the college senior in answer to our query,
“Why I’m gonna wear my seven-year-old camels hair ‘beege’ coat, stupid.”
Seniors must know, really, after three years, so SIMPLICITY sets the pace come fall, we
expound with special emphasis.
"Ten maxims for the well-dressed frosh?” Our senior, heckled momentarily from a coke
gorged brown study of “The Thirteeneth Stair,” relayed us via grunts, gestures, monosyl
lables, polysyllables, and reluctant chuckles the following:
r irsi
FIRST: Before proceeding too
unpatriotioally on a clothes spree,
the budget - wise freshman girl
should^ squint at the general as
pects oSicampus apparel, AFTER
| she gets there. Don’t let a sales
J woman tell you what’s rating the
, cgle at school unless she’s fresh
from campii, and reeking of Ore
gon spirit (singular). Don’t be
gullible, and go mad for a glad
, plaid. Coeds are conservative in
their fads, despite contrary-wise
info.
SECOND: Suits ? Violent nod
ding of feather - cut. Although
skirts veer toward less flattering
lines, a warm casual tweed is
something to live in and for, to
put it ungrammatically.
Luxury
Drep% suits are luxury items,
but tops for the extra-jingly Lady
Buxton. For those pig - bank
hoarders who want to be gussied
up yet casual too, a neat gabar
dine is recommended. Incidentally,
whether this is militarily secret
ive or otherwise, there are now
on sale in the vicinity of the U.
of O. some THREE-PIECE
SUITS! (ssssh).
THIRD: The pride of a college
girl’s wardrobe . . . her shapleless,
baggy nubby knits. Leave the
sweater-girling to Lana and re
member that twin-sweater sets
went out with the ark, and
all will be but well. Expect room
mate ti5?dble if you have a few
cashmeres, tops in sweater ac
quisition.
Man-Foil
FOURTH: Date dresses . . . ah,
yesss, we hiss dramatically. What
sprightly coed doesn’t envision
smooth, drooly ensembles? A
Calox smile and five gold stars to
lae chic chick who nods wisely to
a simple basic dress which makes
a new debut with change of acces
sories. Most coeds own an eter
nal "simple black.’’ Remember,
however, if black makes your
complexion look similar to that
of a Jansmese Mata Hari, NIX in
capitals. F'rhevnsake, we pray
fervently, rip off all nauseous ar
tificial flowers.
Most appropo of any, mayhap,
are dressy wools. We reminisce
about a luscious blonde who caus
ed us no end of jealously bitten
nails with her pastel wool shirt
waist dresses. Although not dat
ing items, notice the number of
jumpers being shown, which we
predict in large campus quanti
ties.
Feet-Covering
FIFTH: As ’tis not veddy
smaht to patter campus-ward a la
barefoot-boy-with-cheeks - of-tan
in U /ikrisk, bracing atmosphere
of fall, we shall be shod, by way
Of stamp number 18. On the very
approved list are saddle stand
bys, IF AVAILABLE, and golf
shoes, IF AVAILABLE.
Wooden shoes, clomping, un
flattering, and muchly resoled,
will see action in winter slush and
muck since last year’s rubber
boots are kicking the Japs. Sen
ior says that nearly every frosh
wil lend her Oregon year with a
pair of white buck Spauldings
(California saddles to yoo).
Loafers are "akamai’’ (Hawai
ian c.^t.) in weather less tending
toward California mist (missed
California and hit U. of O.) So,
my dear moccasin-admirer, keep
your red-skin blood pressure un
der control and your loafers on
Shoe trees during winter term,
and clomp with the rest of us.
Some indicators point towari
sturdy, veryveryvery wearabli
brogues. We comment briefly
“Awk.” Tearing our eyes fron
ballet influence and dainty ankle
strap shoes, we admit reluctantly
that brogues ARE practical undei
stamp 18 circumstances, perhaps
SIXTH: Button up your over
coat with its double-breasted mil
itary swagger and strut you col
ume-dodgers. The three-quarter
length Winnie Churchill, popular
last spring, we leave in moth
balls for next spring, unless you
prefer unpressed pleats.
If not military, the classic
three-button box coat gets a nod
l anytime, anywhete. Remember,
; though, you bunnyfur mitten
, cuddler, a raincoat should be
lined if you- want to grow to be
a healthy and wise sophomore,
unless, of course, you're the rig
orous type who stand in icy
showers, jump out bright-eyed
when the alarm goes off, and look
intelligent in eight o'clock classes.
Fur coat? Nice, aren't they?
However, don't feel you must
poison your plutocratic Uncle
Willie in order to wangle that lus
cious skunk. Many a BWOC's
budget overlooks the aforemen
tioned. If it's within means and
DAILY EMERALD
::n!iim::n’".rHSiti::™::::::;!:::.::iimillini;i:
essential to happiness, “censored
the torpedoes, full speed ahead.’’
Otherwise, stop heckling pop.
Cross-Stitch
SEVENTH: Tried to buy any
blouses lately ? Drastic, isn't it ?
We'd swear it's inflation. Round
necked or “v,” dickey or the real
thing, they're hard to get. Of
note, we stared at a clever blue
cross-stitch, round-necked dickey,
replete with sweater and skirt to
match, gracing a dark, blue-eyed
coed . . . quaint and smart.
EIGHTH: Headgear causes
slight furrowing of brow. Getting
the biggest workout are ker
chiefs, large as dishtowels and as
enveloping as the same. (Conven
ient for pin-curl cover-up too).
Rainhats are impractical unless
your hair takes to rain like a true
duck, but who wears feathers?,
(or wants to feel liko a lame
duck?) Some gay souls wear
both kerchief and rainhat, but
personally, they're a trifle weird.
Background
^ Hats for church, etc., tend to
ward the casual, pillbox, back
ground-for-thc-hair kind. , Since .
OSC advertises a football season,
Oregon will undoubtedly have
pigskin combat, so trot out all
lucky bonnets.
Speaking of bonnets, do you
have a bee buzzing therein? Try
little-boy visored caps, and some
of the enchanting numbers dash
ing rampantly over the pages of
the last Vogue.
NINTH: When lounging, etc.
. . . rely on the jeans and plaid
skirt ensemble, and don't forget a
reet pair of ‘‘fatty's peril," i.e.
slacks. Senior asks us to mention
the cut-in-half fuel situation and
the disagreeable appearance of
blue goose . . . pardon, DUCK
Ijumps because padded robe dis
courages shivering, and the ef
fects of body conditioning must
not be minimized so quickly.
Exit
TENTH: And so to the sleeping
porch, replete with hot water bot
tle, flannel bed socks, flannel
night gown, and a dozen blank
ets. Brrrrr. Beautiful, beautiful
thought as we swelter over this
deadline.
