We stand accused of jumping at fads faster than the collegiate set, which Until now almost ev eryone had conceded was the right of coeds. we stand accused of wearing too much makeup frequently and seldom wea-ing it properly. We're guilty of overdressing, and of treating a hairdo like an insur ance policy hanging on to it for life. And worst of all, we're often "impulse"' buyers who purchase clothes without a thought of how they will fit into our present wardrobes. The 10 coeds from all parts of the country are the ones who made "Glamour" magazine's best-drcssed-on-campus list this, the third year of the selections.

Fads Fade "I think the business women went for the chemise fad faster and more thoroughly than we did," said Miss Larsen. "Some women seem to tfiink that simplicity is a bore,", said Miss Sutton. "The more they put on the better." "I don't think American women know enough about makeup, or if they do, they don t practice it, said Miss Watts. Several agreed that we get in a rut in hair styles. But Miss Duf- fcy came to the defense of some of her elders "1 think an awful ly lot of business women do have good taste," she said. The average coed, the girls said, dresses for the life she leads in ""casual and comfortable" clothes. Her .."typical" wardrobe this fall will include a basic win ter coat, a trench coat perhaps with raccoon collar for everyday wear, leotards "now as much a part of campus life as the frater nity pin," as many as 12 skirts, bulky sweaters up to 15 in num ber, plus a couple of cashmeres, blouses, "boy" shirts, Bermuda shorts, kilts, knee socks, and at least one short formal in chiffon instead of the once-popular net. The era of petticoats in layers is gone, the girls agreed. None seemed to miss them they took up too much closet space. Gone also is the raccoon coat, revived a couple of years ago. - The coeds agreed that if they dressed strictly to please the BMOCs (Big Man On Campus) they would discard the pointed toe shoe, knee socks and pixie hair cuts. General rule for pleasing a date, summed up by Miss Watts: "Just wear something sexy." M UK-.. ii hi I r r ' 'VXJ Lff l'niiiiiu I a Grands.
