Ruth loved the \\AAC.' She liked the military life. She was amused as the soldiers tried to teach them how to tie a tic and make a bed. That was long before enough \VAACS had the training neccssary to teach their sisters in khaki the fundamentals of army life. She had been a part of Uncle Sam's army fifteen. months when the ambition formed in Philadelphia as she sat typing legal reports in a little of fice seized her, and- soon she ap plied for an honorable discharge. \Vith a series of C.I. memories recorded in her diary and a promise that there would be more, she packed her bag at Fort Oglethorpe and climbed aboard the train for Columbia, S.

Coeds Of 1944 Are More Conservative By MARGARET HANNA Campus fa'hiont notes begin again this fall with the proverbial sweaters and skirts, with the new American Beauty, f uschia, and dull greens in vading the landscape. There are the very smart, new sterling silver clips that enhance many a co-ed's locks, and a deluge of new combs of all types and colors for evening wear. Feathers and veils are back again, both on sport and dressy hats. The new pastels in the elbow length gloves are very serviceable. They are used with fortnals, and are very successful in "dre sing up" the con servative fall colors. Draw string ;rg:, from baby sire on up. are fast becoming very voguish, and there is the wool. needle-print hat and bag to match to go with everything in a wardrobe. t ;rcv is everywhere, with black running a stiff competition. es pecially the c(ol,,r combinations of hick w ith the new, brighter shades. To stt it up. as one fashion de signcr said recently, "The college girl -i 1?44 is fa,t forgetting the day whe aitU wa smart to be sloppy, tuii. c ha:ircd and t i f 'afety-pins.
