Gas Company Phi SigmaO Kappa In Columbia Hot Banquet Held At Harve To Commemorate Frat The New Look e For You Men 1 Is Formality - One of the most interesting , men's clothing phenomena at pres- sel ent is the slow, steady trend to-' tei ward conservatism and formality Vg in dress. K Even high school boys in some an sections have abandoned blue co jeans, loafers, and sweat shirts, F< for sun tans with a sharp crease, in plain shoes with a high shine, and H: good-looking wool sports shirts and sweaters. When this. group pi starts wearing ties and hats, we S1 may confidently expect the mil- M lennium. be Enough on general trends . . . c here are a few specific fashion T1 high spots. til If you are a glee club man or have some formal dances coming up, you will be interested to know Ii that there are tux shirts appear- fC ing on the market now that are "I actually cooler and more comfort- le able than a regular shirt, the se- hi cret being a soft collar, a soft K pleated bosom, and a body of an in open weave material that venti- ei lates perfectly. fc The biggest news in the cloth ing field is the appearance of lighter weight woolen and worst eds. Practically all the traditional f weaves are being reproduced in lighter weights which are less 6 bulky and easier to tailor. 1948 will see many items such as suits slacks, jackets, and top coats in these finer wools which give warmth without weight. f4 One of the pleasant signs* of back to normal clothing opera tions is the return of the traditional dual-purpose cloths. These cloths, e such as Vlannels, saxonies, cheviots and coverts, will be welcomed by practical men who have chosen them over and~ over for their ver- . satility. They do duty in town as well as country and can produce the proper front for either en vironment through a mere change of accessories. In the necktie field, the newest r idea in design is the pa'nel type tie, which has been accepted al most everywhere and which may make the grade- from fad to fashion. These ties, featuring ver I tical patterns, now come in silks, s rayons, and wool. r Shoe news features the return tof comfortable walking shoes with crepe rubber soles, which were ex e trenmely popular before the war e but were dlisconitinued due to the s rubber shortage. These shoes al ways had many devotees on pre war campuses and will probably be popular again wvith the college crowd. BEN TURNER r RESTRINGS TENNIS RACQUETS See Ad on Page 8 TO' w. s.
