Co-ed Clothesline Bj- Maryfran Lorain and Kay Kuckenberg There is the coed who lets her finances limit her horizon. She shops on the assumption that she can get only half value for her money not a penny more. She just can’t see the goods for the price tags, and the result is she looks like a mark-down—marked down. Then there is the smart coed who looks for labels, not for price tags. She never shops aimlessly or in a panic before a big dance. Everything she buys fits into a long-term plan, leading toward a wardrobe that may be limited in variety by ready for everything, right for her face, her figure, her type. She has the right idea of the well-spent dollar. Because you spend so much time in your campus coat or jacket spend time on its purchase. Is it right for the cut of the clothes you will wear with it? If you can only afford one coat, or if closet space is an unknown luxury, test the color to be sure it goes with most of the things n your wardrobe. Choose a style that is not the whim of a single season, and choose a style that is especially becoming to you personally. The basic white dress is this spring’s knockout blow to basic black. So much fresher, so very illuminating, and so right for street wear with black accessories a simple white dress is a versatile factor in even the most limited wardrobe. A timeless suit is an all-year-round must. Smart spenders always catch a fashion as it waxes, never wastes money on a silhouette that is on the wane. At the start of its long useful career is the short jacket suit cut straight or fully flared, they have marvelous possibili ties. For spring and summer, navy blue is the notable color. A wise buyer picks a basic or neutral shade for any season. Although rated low in popularity by the average coed, hats are —let s face it quite essential for certain occasions. An all-’round feather-weight cloche will take you anywhere, in style and in com fort. Casual skirts and sweaters for fall and winter, gay cottons for spring provide the core for every campus wardrobe—the clothes-wise coed builds and plans everything around them, both in color and in style. As a smart spender you must spend every cent with one object in mind: a balanced wardrobe, one so well rounded that it will meet every situation. And the balanced wardrobe, which can be surprisingly small, isn t built in a day—so think ahead to the future. Clever House Dance Themes Selected, by Eight Organizations By Aileen Betschart Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Re bec House, Zeta Hall, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Chi Omega were the eight women’s living organizations who sponsored house dances last weekend. Curt Finch’s orchestra played for the Gamma Phi's and their dates at “Among My Souvenirs.” Silver murals on deep blue green walls effectively depicted lyrics of the theme song,-and flower bedecked arbors stood at each end of the living room. The front door was a convinc ing, huge scraj) book. Southern fried chicken was served for dinner at the Delta Gamma house last Saturday night at the “DG Show Boat.” A lighted gangplank led to the inter ior of the house which featured dummies of pickininnies and “mam mies” and appropriate murals. The most realistic dummy was a cap tain at the wheel of the “ghow boat.” Alpha Phi freshmen and sopho mores put on their formal dance, "Down in Central Park.” Guests danced on the terrace to the music of a four-piece combo which was set up on an old time bandstand with streamers and music runners. Park scene murals, a wishing well, a fountain, and a pop-corn vendor were other points of interest in the house. Clever music runners made of sugar cube notes helped bring out the “Sugar Blues” theme at Zeta Hall. Above the night club style tables were silver glitter letters which spelled out the theme, and / nearby E. Z. Zarones' band played from behind a red and white crepe paper curtain. Lee McGraw enter tained by singing blues with the or chestra. Herb Widmer’s orchestra played at Chi Omega’s formal “A Night With Neptune?.” Sea-urchins, coral, and fish could be seen through the green cheesecloth draped' on the walls, and white parachuting rep resenting foam hung from the ceil ing. In front of the fireplace was a gold treasure chest brimming with gold coins and jewels, and over it was a huge head of King Neptune. Silhouettes of dancing girls dec orated the Rebec House walls at their formal “Blue-Champagne and Stardust.” Featured was an im mense champagne glass which had bubbles with the names of a couple on each bubble. Kappas’ took their guests on a hayride and picnic before “Mexican Hayride.” Murals made one room over into a bullfight arena, while another room represented' a court yard and the front door was a color ful travel poster. Bids were in the form of rustic wishing wells. The highlight of the evening was the breaking of the Pinata, an old Mex ican custom. Two fighting swordfish ushered guests into “Out of the Blue,” Delta Zeta’s formal house dance. Glittery fish, which were all over the house, were accented by the use of blue lights. Other features of the deco rations were hanging moss, coral, a treasure chest, gold fishbowls, and a relic ship. Young Stuff By Fred Young Everybody on the campus should have a turn at writing their view point of the social news. Maybe the next best thing to that will be to print, verbatim, the tips re ceived. Here's the last-complete with spelling. Curiously, it was unsigned. “. . . don't know how you could word it, but last night in the libe on the second floor there was a whole bunch of guys standing around the entrance to the senior room and three alpha gamma del ta girls stuck their heads in the little womens room and yelled— ‘hey Macallay, how are you com ing?’—thought it was pretty fun ny anyway the guys got a laugh out of it.” Always a lot of comment on too bad certain girls are pinned— seems to be more sorrow over The ta Patty Walsh’s and Kappa Geor gianne Balaam’s unavailability. Monday night Delta Zeta Pat Mullin returned brandishing Ron Brown’s Campbell club pin. Alpha Phi Ann Kafoury a walk in with Norm Tremain’s Chi Psi badge. And Alpha Phi’s hoping that they'll keep water out of the mill race. Marcia Murray of Ann Judson reportedly steady company with Ron Petersen, and Shirley Ander son admitting Bill Portis is a good friend. Sounds like a lot of beat ing around the brush. Theta’s successfully beating the brush last weel^. Nan Gaveny with Silas Anderson’s Kappa Sig pin again. Molly Munsel supporting A1 Reible’s Kappa Sig pin. Melba Heyser catching Hal Torkelson’s Sigma Nu badge. Mary Jane Reeves swiping Jack Randal’s Sigma Nu pin. Theta’s apparently staging own millrace drive. They only need three more pins to be half gonef which should be incen tive enough. Delta Delta Delta Janet Janet Frye with Dick Mobley’s Sigma Nu jewelry. Don’t sell that singing short. Alpha Delta Pis with many new pins. Leona Anderson with Dan Duncan's Kappa Sig pin. Alma Dopson and Phi Psi AI Kirk now entangled. Josie Smith lifting Don Warnecke’s Phi Sig badge. Pris cilla Cuthbert agreeing with Phi Nap Gary Haynes. Irene Jones of Hendricks frater nizing with ATO Bob White. Bar bara Clerin wishing Tau pledge Robert Chambers would make his grades. Architecture annex men wi.sh ing to thank their ex-model Sweety Rappaport for the way she enliv ened those drawing classes. And voting her “the girl we’d most like to survey.” Coed Contributes To Mademoiselle Helen Sherman, junior in jour nalism, has been invited by the edi tors of Mademoiselle magazine to contribute to their August col lege issue.
