set. which un
Gay Pauley
til now almost everyone had
conceded was the right of
coeds.
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

lovers sit all night that they
may be first in line. They
bring little-folding stools and
school books.
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.

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.
