We' stand accused of wear ing too much makeup fre nuentlv and seldom wearing it properly. We're guilty of Overdressing, and of treating a hairdo like an insurance 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 tne ones who made "Glamour" maga zine's best-dressed-on-campus list this, the third year of the selections. Meet the 10 Best Dressed "Glamour" said the 10 were chosen through contests run in college newspapers, with faculty, student body and magazine staff judging the girls on figure, make-up, posture, clothes budget, and individuality of dress. ; I talked with the 10 when they came to New York to be photographed for the Au gust issue of the publication, to stage a fashion show and see the town. The coeds and their schools are: Susan Watts, 18, Evans ton, HI., University - of Il linois; .Lise Cousineau, 21, Montreal, Canada, University of Montreal; Priscilla Bow den,. 19, High Farms Rd., Glen Head, L.I., N.Y., Radcliffe College; Sheila McCarthy, 20, Larchmont, N.Y., Marymount College; Carole Larsen, 21, 11062 Sherman Ave., .Garden Grove, Calif., University of .

On the opposite side of the block -big opera house any afternoon from 1 o'clock on, you can see a double queue, standing or sitting on their stools. They are waiting for the doors to open so that they can rush in to buy what is called "stehplatz," or stand ing place. Three Classes These are of three classes and entitle them to stand dur ing the performance (three to four hours) in definite spots. Judith, Whalen, 18, North Tar rytown, N.Y., Annhurst Col lege; Jane Duffey, 19, High land Park, N.J., Tusculum College; Eleanor Galbraith, 20, Wellesley, Mass., Univer sity of Massachusetts; and Joan Sutton, 20, Ben Avon Hts., Pittsburgh, Pa., Hood College. Fads Fade "I think the business wom en went for the chemise fad faster and more thoroughly than we did," said Miss Lar sen. "Some women seem to think 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 Duffey came to the de fense of some of her elders -"I think an awfully 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 comfort able" clothes. Her "typical" wardrobe this fall will in clude a basic winter coat, a trench coat perhaps, with rac coon collar for everyday wear, leotards "now as much a part of campus life as the fraternity pin," as many as 12 skirts, bulky sweaters up to 15 in number, plus a cou ple 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 lay ers is gone, the girls agreed. None seemed to miss them they took up too much closet space. Gone also is the rac coon coat, revived a couple of years ago. The coeds agreed that if they dressed strictly to please the 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." ' MEDFORD PHARMACY Viennese The deluxe spots cost 24 cents, is on the main floor directly in back. As it is a series of steps it is excellent both for hearing and seeing. The 16 and 20 cent spots are in the top balconies. Here, there are rails to lean against, if they are early birds. In some of these spots they can not see the stage, but they can always hear. Guards are on duty, and watch carefully to see that the "stehplatzers" break no rules such as sitting down or moving to other spots.' Hun dreds of young people (and some older) see and hear opera in this way with never a shuffle, whisper orj popcorn bag. Those who are fortunate enough to afford balcony seats take little hood ed flashlights . to study the score of the opera or sym phony. As there are always two pauses, or intermissions, in Viennese programs, everyone promptly leaves his seat and parades through the endless marble foyers and halls, buys little tidbits to eat and to drink - like lemon pop, Coca- Cola or cognac (most curious ly out of place in such sur roundings). Starts Early In contrast to a 10 o'clock opening in Spain, opera in Vienna starts as early as 6 o'clock and never later than 7:30. There is opera every night of the week in Vienna, from September to June. It is rare when every seat is not filled. Everyone who can goes - to opera at least once or twice during the year. My hair dresser told me that he has the same seat at the opera once a month, season in and season out - a $3 seat which is in the parquet. From little children the Viennese know the stories of operas, the themes of sym phonies, the star, composers and orchestra directors. Walt Disney's "F a n t a s i a" was ruined for many a young Viennese because the musical score was not correctly inter preted. I said to an attractive young woman here that I could not understand such universal al absorbing love of music and she said, "Yes, we live for music. I will tell you some thing. And she told me this tale. Maria Jeritza was to sing in Vienna shortly after the war. All the best seats and loges were taken by the rich, the important and the occupy ing powers. But there were the inexpensive seats. So, two days before the performance, she and two friends took their little folding stools and went to sit! There were 15 persons already in line. By the end of the first day there were 150 persons, 350 the second day, and when the box office open ed on the morning of the third day, 500 were in line. Fifty seats available. No On Answer To an American, this pas sionate obsessive love of Vien nese for music is mystifying. There seems to be no one definite answer. One theory is that originally it was an accident of geography or jux taposition - Vienna being at the cross-roads between the north and south of Europe where travelling peoples . of many nationalities met on the banks of the Danube and sang and played their folk melo dies, swaying and twirling to the music. What it was originally, by the 12th century Vienna was a musical center. The Haps burgs were musicians them selves, loved music and en couraged other musicians to come to the court. As the Medici family in Florence was to art, the Hapsburgs were to music. People still boast of the elaborate private theater of the royal family, and like to tell of one performance where there were 70 changes of scenery. - Children and young people go to opera, and boys take their dates to symphonies and concerts as Americans take theirs to ball games or movies. : Installation Set For Social Club Reames Social club will in stall officers at a business meeting following the month ly luncheon at 12 noon, Wed nesday, June 17, in the Med ford Masonic hall.
