Though perhaps more important to the working man of later life, clothes still have their place in ! the life of a college man. Most of us like to think we're in step with style, as far as undernourished budgets will allow. Fads are funny things, arising from who knows-where to dominate wearing apparel. Sev eral years back no one would have missed suede or leather jackets. Later on it was the ever-popu lar warm-up jacket in its endless varieties. Now things have progressed to the stage where the car coat is bought long before the car. Ivv League styles dominate the \\ est and and belts and buckles are no longer designed mainly to hold pants up. What can we do with our outdated shirts with button-less collars, our useless trousers with only belt loops and our caps—naked without a jaunty buckle across the back ? This latest fit parade has really made its mark around campus this past year, threatening to move in on the traditional territory of ASUO athletic sox and “borrowed” RE. equipment. Buckles have now begun to appear on the backs of shirt collars and even on shirt pockets. Originally starting with the narrow-shouldered suit and the crew-neck sweater, this craze has gotten away from the manufacturers. Here’s a pat on the back to the stout of heart that have stifled the urge to rush to the near est campus store and divvy up that last check from home for a shirt—probably costing more because of the added button value. But after all.guys, if this is the country club (as is rumored in certain agricultural areas in the northwest wilderness), we have to keep up appearances! Where will it all end? We’re not ‘tire, though something else will probably come along to take up the slack. One advanced thinker summed it up thuslv: “When they start replacing zippers with buckles . . . that’ll be the flay.” (A.J.) 5 0OOL.A 000LA/ BoOLA BOO LA s' IN * i/ \ Ideas Go By Students Ought to Ask, 'Why?' (ACP)—Part of the challenge American sudents face is the responsibility to think and to question, intellectually, infor mation and opinion. Technology News, Illinois Institute of Tech nology, Chicago, puts it this way: WHY? When was the last time you challenged a state ment your instructor profes sor made? Last week, last month or last year. If it is the latter, you are probably one of the easiest students to teach the instructor has. If you sit in your oaken chair absorbing the instructor’s words and drawings like a sponge as the gospel truth, you probably will lose the knowledge just as fast when the pressure is put on you. Everyone will agree that no human is perfect. Deductive reasoning from that point leaves us that teachers are human, therefore, they must be wrong once in a while. When the student lets some ideas or statements go by him without question, he is leav ing himself open to accepting false and prejudice material. Call Sandberg, whose poetry is considered to have con tained some wisdom, stated recently, "Much of the his toi-y of the world could be written in a book titled, ‘Chal lenger's of Axioms'." Many times the small three letter word, WHY has caused spectacular events; Einstein, Columbus, and Gilileo are just a few of the great people who asked themselves why and delved further to investigate. You may say to yourself you are not out to discover new worlds. One can find though a richer, fuller life with a complete and better under standing of the things in out environment. Campus Capers (ACP) — Old newspapers, wood shavings, bits of cloth, leather, yarn, string and but tons hung from the ceiling of the University of New Mexico student union dining room, New Mexico Liobo reports, but no one complained. The waste material had been fashioned into animals and ‘‘things’’ by students in art edu cation. Articles were selected for exhibit for their clever use of common materials and amigi nation. * The union hopes to have ex hibits from other school sections “to give students an idea of what is going on in other de partments of the university,” according to the union pr ogram director-.

It all paid olf for Chester and on the honor roll Ills name appeared with tin regularity of Oklahoma's foot ball team in an At* poll. Naturally Chester didn't have much spare time but he did manage to squeeze in a few ac tivities to color up his record. One year he was vice chairman to the assistant to the Canoe Fete technical director and for a while he wrote classified nds for the Kmerald every Tuesday and Thursday. rseeuie.SK to Kay r ready aidn t find much time to waste on studies and he even felt like a Blind when on occasion he got around to buying a text. Freddy shone in other spheres though. He knew at least half the girls in the senior class at Eugene High and he was a familiar figure at fantan games held iri backrooms on Willamette St. Freddy could tell you when nickel-beer night was at every tavern in Lane County and no party in town was deemed a success unless he was there with his ukulele and his repertoire of Songs That Mother Never Used to Sing. Chester worried about the reckless ways of his roommate and tried to change him but Freddy would just laugh and head for a golf course or a snooker table whenever < hr ter launched a seriou* dlsctWMon ? about the purports of arhrx.l One wintry evening proceed ing a trig teat for both room* mute*.

As the night wore on, Freddy nttaebed himself to a oorpnra tlon executive who waa eharntrd by the eolleglun’a manner and hla knowledge of horae rac ing.

That spring Freddy decided he'd had enough of school fan tan players were few and far between and the allows were getting weaker so he raid goodbye to Chester and after a month at Bantu Anita he look ed up the executive who like to talk horse racing. The fellow was still infatuated with Freddy and he placed him In a top Job in the public relations division of the company where some of the officials had been howling for a fourth for bridge.

Everyone predicted success for Chester but the pressure of studies had worn down his frail frame and already his eyesight was failing. So he couldn't even meet the phyftcal requirements of any good job offers. Finally Freddy heard about the plight of hla old roommate and used his growing Influence in the company to land Chester a research Job In the firm’s sla tistieal department. “He always was good with figures," Freddy told the personnel manager who iiad always looked up to him ever since Freddy had volun teered to help him with his hackswlng. Freddy was a hell of a golfer by now. Moral: As someone has said, there are at least two kinds of education.
