"It took a war to make me gih up sleeping late-before, I wouldn have gotten up to see Tyror Power. But the grateful apprec ation we get from our patients worth it.

GREEN Fashions for the male sex at the University of South Carolina may be changing some because of the short age of materials but the war has failed in making men's apparel more conservative for plain-out unadulter ated colors are strewn from one end of the campus to the other as stu dents go all-out for flashy sport togs r while they can still wear them. Some students just one jump ahead , of the draft board are delaying the e purchase of a new fall wardrobe for the duration since there is little doubt t in their collegiate heads but that Uncle Sam will outfit them well in the latest s G.

This benefaction upon Uncle's part relieves many a poor soul from the torturous I selection of colors and patterns which are essential to Joe College's life as is his selection of classes.

Coeds Back Collect Cam Coed's Fashions Go Conservative BY JANIE MARLOWE Carolina co-eds' fashions have changed but slightly since the begin ning of the war. This year more than ever they show care in selecting their wardrobes. When Miss Co-ed goes shopping, she looks for clothes that are practical, inexpensive, and attrac tive. In times like these, the government has asked that we conserve clothes so they will not have to be rationed. In order to do this, co-eds will be in very good style, as well as doing their patriotic duty, to take those old wool skirts, coats, dresses, or whatever, and make them over by adding a touch of white or plaid wool. Making a pina fore out of that discarded wool dress is considered smart. Co-eds' skirts are not as wide as last year. If they have pleats, and many still do, they are called "knife pleats". This seems to be the cam pus crave. These skirts are most pop ular in plaids, checks. and tweeds. Something new has been added in the skirt line-the rayon-and-wool plaid skirt with marsupial pockets. This is usually worn with a wool-with-cotton jersey sweater-blouse or a flannel shirt. One would never know there was a war going on if she judged it from the sweaters on the U. S. C. campus. They are still exceeding long and "sloppy". Sweaters made of Alpaca wcol, Shetland-style wool, Virgin wool, and imported wool, are most popular. Pastels and bright colors are worn more than dark colors. The white handloomed cardigan is solid in the South. Good from Maine to Florida and especially on the University of South Carolina campus is the popular date dress of rabbit-hair wool with a prim rose path of embroidery or strictly tailored. Flannels and light weight wools are loved by the co-eds. For church or dinner they look slim in a simple silk crepe trimmed with shiny black sequins, or decorated with a beautiful rhinestone pin or clip. Draped skirt with three-quarter sleeves, cotton velveteen and fine wale cotton corduroy are taking campuses all over the nation by storm.
